1 CFTR – Where It Is Found and What It SHOULD Do Barbara E. Goodman, Ph.D. Respiratory Membrane Transport Physiologist

2 Welsh, M.J. & A.E. Smith. Scientific American pp. 52-59, 1995. CFTR Protein Normal function of CFTR is to allow Cl - transport across cell membranes and to regulate transport of other ions via interactions with their transport proteins

3 Cystic Pancreas In 1936, Dr. G. Fanconi referred to disease as “cystic fibromatosis with bronchiectasis”. In 1938, Dr. Dorothy Anderson named the disease “cystic fibrosis of the pancreas” based on similar tissue.

4 ACINUS: NaCl secretion (with water following) DUCT: NaCl reabsorption (with water following) Junquiera, L.C. & J. Carnero, Basic Histology, McGraw-Hill Companies, 2003. Production of Sweat

5 Reddy, M.M. & P.M. Quinton, American J. Physiology 257:C722-C726, 1989. Ductal Cells in Sweat Glands CELL FROM NORMALCELL FROM CF PATIENT

6 Sweat Chloride Test

7 CF Problems with Sweat Glands Secretion of NaCl in sweat is normal Secretion of NaCl in sweat is normal Reabsorption of Cl - (and accompanying Na + ) out of sweat ducts is low Reabsorption of Cl - (and accompanying Na + ) out of sweat ducts is low Final sweat is high in salt Final sweat is high in salt

12 Regulation of Normal CFTR In absence of R domain phosphorylation – channel is closed In absence of R domain phosphorylation – channel is closed Cyclic AMP stimulates PKA to phosphorylate serines on R domain Cyclic AMP stimulates PKA to phosphorylate serines on R domain CFTR binds ATP at NBFs and conformational change occurs CFTR binds ATP at NBFs and conformational change occurs Open probability and voltage-dependence may depend on tyrosine phosphorylation Open probability and voltage-dependence may depend on tyrosine phosphorylation

14 Different Classes of Mutations in CF Ashcroft, F.M. Ion Channels and Disease: Channelopathies, Academic Press, 2000.

15 Four Classes of CF Mutations Defective production of CFTR so final product non-functional Defective production of CFTR so final product non-functional Defective processing of CFTR so does not reach correct location in cell (  F508) Defective processing of CFTR so does not reach correct location in cell (  F508) Defective regulation of CFTR (NBF or R domain) Defective regulation of CFTR (NBF or R domain) Defective conduction through CFTR (pore size inhibited) Defective conduction through CFTR (pore size inhibited) First two generally have pancreatic insufficiency and are more serious

16 CFTR is absent or defective Highly salty sweat Highly salty sweat Plugging of bile ducts disrupts liver function Plugging of bile ducts disrupts liver function Occlusion of pancreatic ducts and lack of HCO 3 - causes pancreatic insufficiency Occlusion of pancreatic ducts and lack of HCO 3 - causes pancreatic insufficiency Lack of Cl - secretion leads to intestinal obstruction Lack of Cl - secretion leads to intestinal obstruction Either developmental or physical sterility in males and females Either developmental or physical sterility in males and females
