SLC26A9 stimulates CFTR expression and function in human bronchial cell lines

Abstract excerpt

We investigated the possible functional- and physical protein-interactions between two airway Cl(-) channels, SLC26A9 and CFTR. Bronchial CFBE41o- cell lines expressing CFTR(WT) or CFTR(ΔF508) were transduced with SLC26A9. Immunoblots identified a migrating band corresponding to SLC26A9 present in whole-cell lysates as on apical membrane of cells grown on polarized filters. CFTR levels were increased by the...
