Abstract excerpt
The gene causing cystic fibrosis (CF) encodes the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-regulated chloride channel. Mutations in this gene result in reduced transepithelial chloride permeability across tissues affected in CF. Consequently, restoring chloride permeability to these tissues may prove therapeutic. Here we report that a combination of forskolin, an adenylate cyclase activator, and...
