Characterization of CFTR High Expresser cells in the intestine

Abstract: The CFTR High Expresser (CHE) cells express eightfold higher levels of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl− channel compared with neighboring enterocytes and were first identified by our laboratory (Ameen et al., Gastroenterology 108: 1016, 1995). We used double-label immunofluorescence microscopy to further study these enigmatic epithelial cells in rat intestine in vivo or ex vivo. CHE cells were found in duodenum, most frequent in proximal jejunum, and absent in ileum and colon.… Show more

“…If CFTR is indeed functionally active in these cells, they could contribute significantly to the secretory diarrhea in MVID. Morphological studies of villus CHE cells support a secretory function as they express higher levels of basolateral NKCC1, lack apical NHE3, but possess very high levels of CFTR that undergo robust trafficking into the BBM upon cyclic nucleotide stimulation (3,26).…”

“…Indeed, in K18 Ϫ/Ϫ (8) and K8 Ϫ/Ϫ (2) small intestine villi (but not crypts), CFTR surface expression was reduced. However, in K8 Ϫ/Ϫ mice, colonic crypt CFTR had normal apical levels and localization pattern (2), suggesting a cell type-specific regulation of CFTR by intermediate filaments (16). K8 ϩ/Ϫ mice, which have a significant and intermediate lower Cl…”

“…In the small intestine CFTR expression decreases from duodenum to ileum with strongest expression in the crypts[112]. In addition, functional CFTR is found on the brush border of villus cells and rare CFTR-high expressing cells throughout the small intestine[113]. In the colon CFTR is expressed in a proximal to distal gradient with highest concentration in the proximal region and cecum.…”
