Abstract excerpt
In cystic fibrosis airway epithelia, mutation of the CFTR protein causes a reduced response of Cl(-) secretion to secretagogues acting via cAMP. Using a Ca(2+) imaging system, the hypothesis that CFTR activation may permit ATP release and regulate [Ca(2+)](i) via a receptor-mediated mechanism, is tested in this study. Application of external nucleotides produced a significant increase in [Ca(2+)](i) in normal...
