Tracheal, renal, salivary, and pancreatic epithelial cells from
cystic fibrosis [CF; cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR)
/
] and non-CF mice that carry a
temperature-sensitive SV40 large T antigen oncogene (ImmortoMouse) were
isolated and maintained in culture under permissive conditions (33°C
with interferon-
). The resultant cell lines have been in culture for
>1 year and 50 passages. Each of the eight cell lines form polarized
epithelial barriers and exhibit regulated, electrogenic ion transport.
The four non-CF cell lines (mTEC1, mCT1, mSEC1, and mPEC1) express cAMP-regulated Cl
permeability and cAMP-stimulated
Cl
secretion. In contrast, the four CFTR
/
cell lines
(mTEC1-CF, mCT1-CF, mSEC1-CF, and mPEC1-CF) each lack cAMP-stimulated
Cl
secretory responses. Ca2+-activated
Cl
secretion is retained in both CF and non-CF cell
lines. Thus we have generated genetically well-matched epithelial cell
lines from several tissues relevant to cystic fibrosis that either
completely lack CFTR or express endogenous levels of CFTR. These cell
lines should prove useful for studies of regulation of epithelial cell function and the role of CFTR in cell physiology.
