Abstract excerpt
We investigated cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) activation by clinically used phosphodiesterase inhibitors (PDEis) in Calu-3 cell monolayers alone and in combination with A2B adenosine receptor stimulation. This receptor pathway has previously been shown to activate wild-type and mutant CFTR molecules. Several PDEis, including milrinone, cilostazol (Pletal), papaverine, rolipram, and...
