Recent studies
have demonstrated that several compounds with diverse structures can
activate wild-type cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) by non-receptor-mediated mechanisms. Some of these compounds
have been shown to enhance cAMP-dependent activation of
F508-CFTR.
This study was undertaken to compare the mechanisms by which genistein,
IBMX, milrinone, 8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (CPX), the
benzimidazolone NS004, and calyculin A increase CFTR activity. Our
studies demonstrate that, in transfected NIH-3T3 cells, maximal
enhancements of forskolin-dependent
F508-CFTR activity are greatest
with genistein, IBMX, and NS004. Milrinone, genistein, CPX, NS004, and
calyculin A do not increase cellular cAMP. Because forskolin and
calyculin A increase in vivo phosphorylation of cAMP binding response
element (CREB), the inability of milrinone, genistein, CPX, and NS004
to increase CREB phosphorylation suggests that they do not stimulate
protein kinase A or inhibit phosphatase activity. Our data suggest that
the mechanisms by which genistein and NS004 activate CFTR differ. We
also demonstrate that, in NIH-3T3 cells, IBMX-dependent enhancement of
cAMP-dependent CFTR activity is not due to an increase in cellular cAMP
and may involve a mechanism like that of genistein.
