Abstract excerpt
The cAMP-dependent activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) and its modulation through inhibition of phosphodiesterases (PDE) were studied with the cell-attached patch-clamp technique in Calu-3 cells (expressing endogenous CFTR) and NIH3T3 cells [expressing either wild-type (Wt)-CFTR or DeltaF508-CFTR]. In Calu-3 cells, CFTR current was augmented by increasing concentrations of...
