Ion transport across CF and normal murine olfactory and ciliated epithelium

Abstract: The nasal epithelium of the cystic fibrosis (CF) mouse has been used extensively in CF research because it exhibits ion transport defects similar to those of human CF airways. This tissue is composed of approximately 50% olfactory (OE) and approximately 50% ciliated epithelium (CE), and on the basis of previous observations, we hypothesized that a significant fraction of the bioelectric signals from murine nasal tissue may arise from OE rather than CE, while CE is the target tissue for CF gene therapy. We comp… Show more

“…This finding highlights the nasal PD in mouse as a valuable tool to evaluate efficacy of fundamental pharmacological therapies in CF. As the olfactory epithelium in CF mice shows progressive, age-related morphological and functional losses [21], the changes we observed in adult CF mice after treatment with PDE5 inhibitors are not expected to reflect olfactory epithelium modifications.…”

“…The nasal mucosa of our F508del mouse model [10] has proven to be valuable for studying novel therapeutic strategies that aim at activating chloride and/or sodium transport function [7,14]. Recently, concerns on the relevance of the murine nasal mucosa as a human-equivalent model have emerged [21]. These concerns are based on the presence of differential proportions of various cell types constituting the mouse and the human nasal epithelium [22] and, subsequently, on different functional roles played by each cell population subset.…”

“…Ion Transport Measurements-Ussing chamber studies were performed on human AT2 cultures under basal conditions or after the addition of designated reagents under open circuit conditions (27). Basal potential difference (PD) and changes in response to each added reagent were measured, and the equivalent short circuit (I eq ) was calculated as previously described (27,28).…”

“…This novel lung airway-like site could potentially be used for modeling the effects of gene vectors or drugs on ciliated airway function within a tubular lung-like conducting airway, an option identified by others in related studies of mouse nasal electrophysiological function. 23 It should be noted that once fluid reaches the nasopharynx in sufficient volume to fill the airway diameter it is possible for retrograde fluid movement into the contralateral anterior nasal airway due to normal breathing or "sneezing" reactions that produce fluid movement into otherwise un-dosed airway regions.…”
