Na Permeability

Transepithelial Na+ absorption is increased two to three times in cystic fibrosis (CF) compared with normal (NL) airway epithelia. This increase has been associated with a higher Na+ permeability of the apical membrane of airway epithelial cells. Because Na+ absorption is electrogenic and abolished by amiloride, Na+ channels are thought to dominate the apical membrane Na+ permeability. Three Na+ channel-related mechanisms may explain the increase in apical Na+ permeability in CF cells: increased number of channels, increased single-channel conductance, and increased single-channel open probability. We compared the properties of Na(+)-permeable channels in the apical membrane of confluent preparations of human NL and CF nasal epithelial cells cultured on permeable supports. Na(+)-permeable channels were studied using the patch-clamp technique in the excised inside-out and cell-attached configurations. The same types of Na(+)-permeable channels were recorded in CF and NL cells. In excised patches, nonselective (Na+/K+) cation channels were recorded, and no differences between CF and NL were found in the properties, incidence, single-channel conductance, and single-channel open probability. In cell-attached patches, channels with a higher Na+ vs. K+ selectivity dominated. There was no difference between CF and NL cells in the incidence (18.8 vs. 21.4%, respectively) and conductance (17.2 +/- 2.8 vs. 21.4 +/- 1.5 pS, respectively) of Na(+)-permeable channels. However, the open probability was higher in CF cells compared with NL cells (30.0 +/- 3.4%, n = 6, vs. 15.0 +/- 3.9%, n = 13; P < 0.05). We conclude that, in CF nasal epithelial cells, the increase in Na+ permeability of the apical membrane results from an increase in the open probability of Na(+)-permeable channels in the apical membrane.

Chronic bronchitis, a disease mainly of cigarette smokers, shares many clinical features with cystic fibrosis, a disease of altered ion transport, suggesting that the negative effects of cigarette smoke on mucociliary clearance may be mediated through alterations in ion transport. We tested the hypothesis that cigarette smoke extract would inhibit chloride secretion in human bronchial epithelial cells. In agreement with studies in canine trachea, cigarette smoke extract inhibited net chloride secretion without affecting sodium transport. We performed microelectrode impalements and impedance analysis studies to investigate the physiological mechanisms of this inhibition. These data demonstrated that cigarette smoke extract caused an acute increase in membrane resistances in conjunction with apical membrane hyperpolarization, an effect consistent with inhibition of an apical membrane anion conductance. After this acute phase, both membrane resistances decreased while membrane potentials continued to hyperpolarize, indicating that cigarette smoke extract also inhibited the basolateral entry of chloride into the cell. Furthermore, cigarette smoke extract caused an increase in mucin secretion. Therefore, the ion transport phenotype of human bronchial epithelial cells exposed to cigarette smoke extract is similar to that of cystic fibrosis epithelia in which there is sodium absorption out of proportion to chloride secretion in the setting of increased mucus secretion.

Polycationic proteins alter electrolyte transport by epithelium and endothelium, and in asthma are thought to disrupt the airway epithelium and contribute to hyperresponsiveness and airway plugging. In the present study, we used primary cultures of human nasal epithelial cells to investigate the response of respiratory tract epithelium to luminal presentation of a polycationic protein, protamine. Protamine (100 micrograms/ml) in the apical bathing solution had no significant effect on basal transepithelial resistance (Rt) but decreased short-circuit current (Isc) and hyperpolarized the apical membrane, indicating that Na+ absorption had been inhibited. Pretreating with amiloride inverted the response to protamine, resulting in an increase in Isc, depolarization of the apical membrane, and decrease in the fractional resistance of the apical membrane (fRa). The increase in Isc was inhibited by pretreatment with bumetanide. These results indicated that protamine augmented amiloride-induced Cl- secretion. Induction of Cl- secretion by bathing the apical surface in 3 mM Cl(-)-Ringer solution similarly resulted in protamine-induced depolarization of the apical membrane. Heparin precipitated protamine from solution and reversed the Isc responses. In summary, low concentrations of polycationic protein can alter electrolyte transport by human airway epithelium without desquamation, and the response is dependent on the secretory state of the tissue.

Recently, epidemiologic and experimental studies have been reported that long-term macrolides are effective for the treatment of chronic airway inflammatory diseases including diffuse panbronchiolitis, chronic rhinosinusitis, and cystic fibrosis (Jaffe A, Francis J, Rosenthal M, et al. Long-term azithromycin may improve lung function in children with cystic fibrosis. Lancet 351:420, 1998), and that macrolides can directly reduce the production of IL-8 by nasal epithelial cells (Suzuki H, Shimomura A, Ikeda K, et al. Inhibitory effect of macrolides on interleukin-8 secretion from cultured human nasal epithelial cells. Laryngoscope 107:1661–1666, 1997). In this study we administered macrolides with 14-membered rings to patients with nasal polyps due to chronic rhinosinusitis for at least 3 months and measured the IL-8 level in nasal lavage from those patients. The IL-8 levels in nasal lavage from patients with nasal polyps were reduced during macrolide treatment. There was significant correlation between decreased IL-8 levels in nasal lavage and the clinical effect of macrolides on the size of the nasal polyps. In the group whose polyps were reduced in size, the IL-8 levels dramatically decreased from 231.2 pg/mL to 44.0 pg/mL (p < 0.05), and were significantly higher before macrolide treatment than those in the group whose polyps showed no change (p < 0.005). This reduction in IL-8 may be an important aspect of the effect of macrolide treatment on nasal polyps in chronic rhinosinusitis.
