Daidzein-Stimulated Increase in the Ciliary Beating Amplitude via an [Cl-]i Decrease in Ciliated Human Nasal Epithelial Cells.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The effects of the isoflavone daidzein on the ciliary beat distance (CBD, which is a parameter assessing the amplitude of ciliary beating) and the ciliary beat frequency (CBF) were examined in ciliated human nasal epithelial cells (cHNECs) in primary culture. Daidzein decreased [Cl-]i and enhanced CBD in cHNECs. The CBD increase that was stimulated by daidzein was mimicked by Cl--free NO?- solution and bumetanide (an inhibitor of Na?/K?/2Cl- cotransport), both of which decreased [Cl-]i. Moreover, the CBD increase was inhibited by 5-Nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)benzoic acid (NPPB, a Cl- channel blocker), which increased [Cl-]i. CBF was also decreased by NPPB. The rate of [Cl-]i decrease evoked by Cl--free NO?- solution was enhanced by daidzein. These results suggest that daidzein activates Cl- channels in cHNECs. Moreover, daidzein enhanced the microbead transport driven by beating cilia in the cell sheet of cHNECs, suggesting that an increase in CBD enhances ciliary transport. An [Cl-]i decrease enhanced CBD, but not CBF, in cHNECs at 37 °C, although it enhanced both at 25 °C. Intracellular Cl- affects both CBD and CBF in a temperature-dependent manner. In conclusion, daidzein, which activates Cl- channels to decrease [Cl-]i, stimulated CBD increase in cHNECs at 37 °C. CBD is a crucial factor that can increase ciliary transport in the airways under physiological conditions.
