The genetic disease cystic fibrosis (CF) causes decreased Cl- transport in several epithelia. cAMP-dependent regulation of apical membrane Cl- channels is defective in CF airway epithelia; as a result, CF epithelia fail to secrete Cl-. In contrast, Ca2+-stimulated Cl- secretion is intact in CF airway epithelia and thus has the potential to bypass the CF Cl- secretory defect. For a Cl- channel to govern Cl- secretion, it must be located in the apical membrane. To specifically investigate apical membrane Cl- channels, we studied cells grown on permeable filter supports and measured Cl- currents across the apical membrane. We found that Ca2+ and cAMP activate different Cl- channels in the apical membrane. (i) Ca2+-activated Cl- channels were present in the apical membrane of airway but not in intestinal epithelia. (ii) cAMP- but not Ca2+-activated Cl- channels were defective in CF airway epithelia. (iii) Ca 2+- but not cAMP-activated Cl- channels were blocked by 4,4'-diisothiocyanato-2,2'-stilbenedisulfonate. (iv) Ca2+- and cAMP-activated apical channels had different anion permeabilities. (v) An increase in both second messengers produced an additive increase in Cl- current. These results also explain the puzzling observation that Ca2+-stimulated Cl- secretion is defective in CF intestine: the Ca2+-activated Cl- channels that could circumvent the Cl- secretory defect in CF airway are missing from the apical membrane of intestinal epithelia.
