Les patients atteints de mucoviscidose souffrent d'anémie et d'un état d'hypoxie chronique et ne compensent pas cet état d'hypoxie par la classique réponse adaptative menant à la synthèse d'EPO. Ces données pathologiques laissent supposer que la protéine CFTR dont les mutations provoquent la maladie pourrait être impliquée dans la réponse...

We have previously shown that K(+)-selective TASK2 channels and swelling-activated Cl(-) currents are involved in a regulatory volume decrease (RVD; Barriere H, Belfodil R, Rubera I, Tauc M, Lesage F, Poujeol C, Guy N, Barhanin J, Poujeol P. J Gen Physiol 122: 177-190, 2003; Belfodil R, Barriere H, Rubera I, Tauc M, Poujeol C, Bidet M, Poujeol...

Chloride (Cl-) conductances were studied in primary cultures of the bright part of rabbit distal convoluted tubule (DCTb) by the whole cell patch clamp technique. The bath solution (33 degrees C) contained (in mM): 140 NaCl, 1 CaCl2, 10 N-2-hydroxy-ethylpiperazine-N'-2-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES), pH 7.4 and the pipette solution 140...

86Rb+ efflux was measured on polarized Madin-Darby canine kidney cells under A23187 or ATP stimulation. This efflux, inhibited by barium, Leiurus quinquestriatus hebraeus venom and charybdotoxin was attributed to the stimulation of Ca(++)-activated maxi K+ channels. Snake venom from Dendroaspis polylepis did not alter the stimulation as well as...

Stability studies were performed on the mono-oxygenase system involved, in particular, in the activation of polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in rat-liver preparations used in the Ames mutagenicity test. The results indicated a good stability of the spectral response of the cytochrome-P-450 system, but a much lower stability of...

Previous studies using the patch-clamp technique demonstrated the presence of a small conductance Cl(-) channel in the apical membrane of respiratory gill cells in primary culture originating from sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax. We used the same technique here to characterize potassium channels in this model. A K(+) channel of 123 +/- 3 pS was...

The evolution of a primary culture of kidney proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) cells was followed step by step from the plating time of an isolated tubule to the 39th day of culture. During the first 48 h, the structural remodeling of PCT, leading to the formation of a cell monolayer without cell division, is accompanied by intracytoplasmic...

This study investigates the effect in rats of acute CdCl(2) (5 microM) intoxication on renal function and characterizes the transport of Ca(2+), Cd(2+), and Zn(2+) in the proximal tubule (PT), loop of Henle (LH), and terminal segments of the nephron (DT) using whole kidney clearance and nephron microinjection techniques. Acute Cd(2+) injection...

The evolution of a primary culture of rabbit kidney cortical collecting duct (CCT) was followed with the electron microscope using two monoclonal antibodies directed against the principal (Mab 703) and intercalated (Mab 503) cells, respectively. As a result of the loss of the basement membrane surrounding the seeded tubule, the intercalated...

Previous studies performed on apical membranes of seawater fish gills in primary culture have demonstrated the existence of stretch-activated K(+) channels with a conductance of 122 pS. The present report examines the involvement of K(+) channels in ion transport mechanisms and cell swelling. In the whole cell patch-clamp configuration, K(+)...

The evolution of a primary culture of rabbit kidney cortical collecting tubule was followed over a period of 10 to 11 days. The cell types of this segment were characterized by using monoclonal antibodies, specifically directed against principal (Mab 703) and intercalated (Mab 503) cells of the apical membrane. The activity of a H+ pump ATPase...

The clinical use of the antineoplastic drug cisplatin is limited by its deleterious nephrotoxic side effect. Cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity is associated with an increase in oxidative stress, leading ultimately to renal cell death and irreversible kidney dysfunction. Oxidative stress could be modified by the cystic fibrosis transmembrane...

The FMRF-amide-activated sodium channel (FaNaC), a member of the ENaC/Degenerin family, is a homotetramer, each subunit containing two transmembrane segments. We changed independently every residue of the first transmembrane segment (TM1) into a cysteine and tested each position's accessibility to the cysteine covalent reagents MTSET and MTSES....

To study the potential influence of cystic fibrosis conductance regulator (CFTR) on intracellular pH regulation during apoptosis induction, we used PS120 Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts devoid of the Na(+)/H(+) exchanger (NHE1 isoform) transfected with constructs, allowing the expression of CFTR and/or NHE1. Kinetics of lovastatin-induced...

Experiments were performed to characterize the P2 purinoceptor subtype responsible for cytoplasmic calcium mobilization in cells from the initial part of rabbit distal convoluted tubule (DCT). Free calcium concentration was measured in a DCT cell line (DC1) with the probe fura 2. Both ATP and UTP increased cytosolic Ca(2+) concentration...
