Endosomal hyperacidification in cystic fibrosis is due to defective nitric oxide-cylic GMP signalling cascade.

ABSTRACT: Endosomal hyperacidification in cystic fibrosis (CF) respiratory epithelial cells is secondary to a loss of sodium transport control owing to a defective form of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator CFTR. Here, we show that endosomal hyperacidification can be corrected by activating the signalling cascade controlling sodium channels through cyclic GMP. Nitric oxide (NO) donors corrected the endosomal hyperacidification in CF cells. Stimulation of CF cells with guanylate cyclase agonists corrected the pH in endosomes. Exposure of CF cells to an inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterase PDE5, Sildenafil, normalized the endosomal pH. Treatment with Sildenafil reduced secretion by CF cells of the proinflammatory chemokine interleukin 8 following stimulation with Pseudomonas aeruginosa products. Thus, the endosomal hyperacidification and excessive proinflammatory response in CF are in part due to deficiencies in NO- and cGMP-regulated processes and can be pharmacologically reversed using PDE5 inhibitors.

Project description:Nitric oxide activates guanylate cyclase to form cGMP, comprising a signalling system that is believed to be a distinct mechanism for increasing glucose transport and metabolism in skeletal muscle. The effects of a selective cGMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor, zaprinast, on basal glucose utilization was investigated in incubated rat soleus muscle preparations isolated from both insulin-sensitive (lean Zucker; Fa/?) and insulin-resistant (obese Zucker; fa/fa) rats. Zaprinast at 27 microM significantly increased cGMP levels in incubated soleus muscle isolated from lean, but not obese, Zucker rats. Muscles were incubated with 14C-labelled glucose and various concentrations of zaprinast (3, 27 and 243 microM). Zaprinast (at 27 and 243 microM) significantly increased rates of net and 14C-labelled lactate release and of glycogen synthesis in lean Zucker rat soleus muscle; glucose oxidation was also increased by 27 microM zaprinast. In addition, regardless of concentration, the phosphodiesterase inhibitor failed to increase any aspect of 14C-labelled glucose utilization in soleus muscles isolated from obese Zucker rats. The maximal activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) was significantly decreased in insulin-resistant obese Zucker muscles. Thus the lack of effect of zaprinast in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle is consistent with decreased NOS activity. To test whether there is a defect in insulin-resistant skeletal muscle for endogenous activation of guanylate cyclase, soleus muscles were isolated from both insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant Zucker rats and incubated with various concentrations of the NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP; 0.1, 1, 5 and 15 mM). SNP significantly increased rates of net and 14C-labelled lactate release, as well as glucose oxidation in muscles isolated from both insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant rats. A decreased response to SNP was observed in the dose-dependent generation of cGMP within isolated soleus muscles from insulin-resistant rats. A possible link between impaired NO/cGMP signalling and abnormal glucose utilization by skeletal muscle is discussed.
