Journal ArticleDOI

Thiazolidinone CFTR inhibitor identified by high-throughput screening blocks cholera toxin–induced intestinal fluid secretion

TL;DR: The most potent compound discovered by screening of structural analogs, CFTR(inh)-172, reversibly inhibited CFTR short-circuit current in less than 2 minutes in a voltage-independent manner with K(I) approximately 300 nM.
Journal ArticleDOI

Nanomolar Affinity Small Molecule Correctors of Defective ΔF508-CFTR Chloride Channel Gating

TL;DR: A Bayesian computational model was developed using tetrahydrobenzothiophene structure-activity data, yielding insight into the physical character and structural features of active and inactive potentiators and successfully predicting the activity of structural analogs.
Journal ArticleDOI

IL-4 is a potent modulator of ion transport in the human bronchial epithelium in vitro.

TL;DR: The data suggest that IL-4 may favor the hydration of the airway surface by decreasing Na+ absorption and increasing Cl− secretion, which could be required to fluidify the mucus, which is hypersecreted during inflammatory conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Altered channel gating mechanism for CFTR inhibition by a high‐affinity thiazolidinone blocker

TL;DR: The studies provide evidence for CFTR inhibition by CFTRinh‐172 by a mechanism involving altered CFTR gating by patch‐clamp and short‐circuit analysis using cells stably expressing wild‐type and mutant CFTRs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modification of transepithelial ion transport in human cultured bronchial epithelial cells by interferon-γ

TL;DR: The results show that interferon-gamma alters the transepithelial ion transport of cultured bronchial cells and this effect may change the ion composition and/or volume of periciliary fluid.
