The cystic libiosis ti ansmembrane conductance regulator gene (CFTR) encodes a transmembrane protein (CFTR) which functions in part as a cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated chloride channel.CFTRexpression is controlled temporally and cell specifically by mechanisms that are poorly understood. Insight intoCFTRregulation could be facilitated by the successful introduction of the entire 230 kb humanCFTRand adjacent sequences into mammalian cells. To this end, we have introduced two differentCFTR-containing yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) (320 and 620 kb) into Chinese hamster ovary-K1(CHO) cells. Clonal cell lines containing humanCFTRwere identified by PCR, and the genetic and functional analyses of one clone containing each YAC are described. Integration of the humanCFTR-containing YACs into the CHO genome at a unique site in each cell line was demonstrated by fluorescencein situhybridization (FISH). Southern blot analysis suggested that on the order of one copy of humanCFTRwas integrated per CHO cell genome. Fiber-FISH and restriction analysis suggested thatCFTRremained grossly intact. Northern analysis showed full-length, humanCFTRmRNA. Immunoprecipitation followed by phosphorylation with protein kinase demonstrated mature, glycosylated CFTR. Finally, chloride secretion in response to cAMP indicated the functional nature of the human CFTR. This study provides several novel results including: (i) functional human CFTR can be expressed from these YACs; (ii) CHO cells are a permissive environment for expression of humanCFTR;(iii) the level of humanCFTRexpression in CHO cells is unexpectedly high given the lack of endogenous CFTR production; and (iv) the suggestion by Fiber-FISH ofCFTRintegrity correlates with functional gene expression. These YACs and the cell lines derived from them should be useful tools for the study ofCFTRexpression.
