Abstract
The study of the airway epithelium in vitro is routinely performed using air-liquid culture (ALI) models from nasal or bronchial basal cells. These 3D experimental models allow to follow the regeneration steps of fully differentiated mucociliary epithelium and to study gene function by performing gene invalidation. Recent progress made with CRISPR-based techniques has overcome the experimental difficulty of this approach, by a direct transfection of ribonucleoprotein complexes combining a mix of synthetic small guide RNAs (sgRNAs) and recombinant Cas9. The approach shows more than 95% efficiency and does not require any selection step. A limitation of this approach is that it generates cell populations that contain heterogeneous deletions, which makes the evaluation of invalidation efficiency difficult. We have successfully used Flongle sequencing (Nanopore) to quantify the number of distinct deletions. We describe the use of CRISPR-Cas9 RNP in combination with single-cell RNA sequencing to functionally characterize the impact of gene invalidation in ALI cultures. The complex ecosystem of the airway epithelium, composed of many cell types, makes single-cell approaches particularly relevant to study cell type, or cell state-specific events. This protocol describes the invalidation of FOXJ1 in ALI cultures through the following steps: (1) Establishment of basal cell cultures from nasal turbinates, (2) CRISPR-Cas9 RNP invalidation of FOXJ1, (3) Quantification of FOXJ1 invalidation efficiency by Nanopore sequencing, (4) Dissociation of ALI cultures and single-cell RNAseq, (5) Analysis of single-cell RNAseq data from FOXJ1-invalidated cells.We confirm here that FOXJ1 invalidation impairs the final differentiation step of multiciliated cells and provides a framework to explore other gene functions.

Abstract
The MIR449 genomic locus encompasses several regulators of multiciliated cell formation (multiciliogenesis). The miR-449 homologues miR-34b/c represent additional regulators of multiciliogenesis that are transcribed from another locus. Here, we characterized the expression of BTG4, LAYN and HOATZ, located in the MIR34B/C locus using single-cell RNA-seq and super-resolution microscopy from human, mouse or pig multiciliogenesis models. BTG4, LAYN and HOATZ transcripts were expressed in both precursors and mature multiciliated cells. The Layilin/LAYN protein was absent from primary cilia, but it was expressed in apical membrane regions or throughout motile cilia. LAYN silencing altered apical actin cap formation and multiciliogenesis. HOATZ protein was detected in primary cilia or throughout motile cilia. Altogether, our data suggest that the MIR34B/C locus may gather potential actors of multiciliogenesis.

Abstract
The upper airway epithelium, which is mainly composed of multiciliated, goblet, club and basal cells, ensures proper mucociliary function and can regenerate in response to assaults. In chronic airway diseases, defective repair leads to tissue remodeling. Delineating key drivers of differentiation dynamics can help understand how normal or pathological regeneration occurs. Using single-cell transcriptomics and lineage inference, we have unraveled trajectories from basal to luminal cells, providing novel markers for specific populations. We report that: (1) a precursor subgroup of multiciliated cells, which we have entitled deuterosomal cells, is defined by specific markers, such as DEUP1, FOXN4, YPEL1, HES6 and CDC20B; (2) goblet cells can be precursors of multiciliated cells, thus explaining the presence of hybrid cells that co-express markers of goblet and multiciliated cells; and (3) a repertoire of molecules involved in the regeneration process, such as keratins or components of the Notch, Wnt or BMP/TGFβ pathways, can be identified. Confirmation of our results on fresh human and pig airway samples, and on mouse tracheal cells, extend and confirm our conclusions regarding the molecular and cellular choreography at work during mucociliary epithelial differentiation.

Abstract
In line with the pathophysiological continuum described between nose and bronchus in allergic respiratory diseases, we assessed whether nasal epithelium could mirror the Type 2 T-helper cell (Th2) status of bronchial epithelium.Nasal and bronchial cells were collected by brushing from healthy controls (C, n=13), patients with allergic rhinitis and asthma (AR, n=12), and patients with isolated allergic rhinitis (R, n=14). Cellular composition was assessed by flow cytometry, gene expression was analysed by RNA sequencing and Th2, Type 17 T-helper cell (Th17) and interferon (IFN) signatures were derived from the literature.Infiltration by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) in the nose excluded 30% of the initial cohort. All bronchial samples from the AR group were Th2-high. The gene expression profile of nasal samples from the AR group correctly predicted the paired bronchial sample Th2 status in 71% of cases. Nevertheless, nasal cells did not appear to be a reliable surrogate for the Th2 response, in particular due to a more robust influence of the IFN response in 14 out of 26 nasal samples. The Th2 scores in the nose and bronchi correlated with mast cell count (both p<0.001) and number of sensitisations (p=0.006 and 0.002), while the Th17 scores correlated with PMN count (p=0.006 and 0.003).The large variability in nasal cell composition and type of inflammation restricts its use as a surrogate for assessing bronchial Th2 inflammation in AR patients.

Abstract
miR‐34/449 microRNAs are conserved regulators of multiciliated cell differentiation. Here, we evidence and characterize expression of two isomiR variant sequences from the miR‐34/449 family in human airway epithelial cells. These isomiRs differ from their canonical counterparts miR‐34b and miR‐449c by one supplemental uridine at their 5′‐end, leading to a one‐base shift in their seed region. Overexpression of canonical miR‐34/449 or 5′‐isomiR‐34/449 induces distinct gene expression profiles and biological effects. However, some target transcripts and functional activities are shared by both canonical microRNAs and isomiRs. Indeed, both repress important targets that result in cell cycle blockage and Notch pathway inhibition. Our findings suggest that 5′‐isomiR‐34/449 may represent additional mechanisms by which miR‐34/449 family finely controls several pathways to drive multiciliogenesis.

Abstract
Multiciliated cells (MCCs), which are present in specialized vertebrate tissues such as mucociliary epithelia, project hundreds of motile cilia from their apical membrane. Coordinated ciliary beating in MCCs contributes to fluid propulsion in several biological processes. In a previous work, we demonstrated that microRNAs of the miR-34/449 family act as new conserved regulators of MCC differentiation by specifically repressing cell cycle genes and the Notch pathway. Recently, we have shown that miR-34/449 also modulate small GTPase pathways to promote, in a later stage of differentiation, the assembly of the apical actin network, a prerequisite for proper anchoring of centrioles-derived neo-synthesized basal bodies. We characterized several miR-34/449 targets related to small GTPase pathways including R-Ras, which represents a key and conserved regulator during MCC differentiation. Direct RRAS repression by miR-34/449 is necessary for apical actin meshwork assembly, notably by allowing the apical relocalization of the actin binding protein Filamin-A near basal bodies. Our studies establish miR-34/449 as central players that orchestrate several steps of MCC differentiation program by regulating distinct signaling pathways.

Abstract
Vertebrate multiciliated cells (MCCs) contribute to fluid propulsion in several biological processes. We previously showed that microRNAs of the miR-34/449 family trigger MCC differentiation by repressing cell cycle genes and the Notch pathway. Here, using human and Xenopus MCCs, we show that beyond this initial step, miR-34/449 later promote the assembly of an apical actin network, required for proper basal bodies anchoring. Identification of miR-34/449 targets related to small GTPase pathways led us to characterize R-Ras as a key regulator of this process. Protection of RRAS messenger RNA against miR-34/449 binding impairs actin cap formation and multiciliogenesis, despite a still active RhoA. We propose that miR-34/449 also promote relocalization of the actin binding protein Filamin-A, a known RRAS interactor, near basal bodies in MCCs. Our study illustrates the intricate role played by miR-34/449 in coordinating several steps of a complex differentiation programme by regulating distinct signalling pathways. MicroRNAs of the miR-34/449 family initiate formation of multiciliated cells through the suppression of cell cycle genes and Notch. Here the authors show that miR-34/449 also regulate the assembly of an apical actin network necessary for basal body anchoring by regulating the expression of R-Ras.

Abstract
Despite the importance of mucociliary epithelia in animal physiology, the mechanisms controlling their establishment are poorly understood. Using the developing Xenopus epidermis and regenerating human upper airways, we reveal the importance of BMP signalling for the construction of vertebrate mucociliary epithelia. In Xenopus, attenuation of BMP activity is necessary for the specification of multiciliated cells (MCCs), ionocytes and small secretory cells (SSCs). Conversely, BMP activity is required for the proper differentiation of goblet cells. Our data suggest that the BMP and Notch pathways interact to control fate choices in the developing epidermis. Unexpectedly, BMP activity is also necessary for the insertion of MCCs, ionocytes and SSCs into the surface epithelium. In human, BMP inhibition also strongly stimulates the formation of MCCs in normal and pathological (cystic fibrosis) airway samples, whereas BMP overactivation has the opposite effect. This work identifies the BMP pathway as a key regulator of vertebrate mucociliary epithelium differentiation and morphogenesis.

Abstract
As miRNAs are associated with normal cellular processes, deregulation of miRNAs is thought to play a causative role in many complex diseases. Nevertheless, the precise contribution of miRNAs in fibrotic lung diseases, especially the idiopathic form (IPF), remains poorly understood. Given the poor response rate of IPF patients to current therapy, new insights into the pathogenic mechanisms controlling lung fibroblasts activation, the key cell type driving the fibrogenic process, are essential to develop new therapeutic strategies for this devastating disease. To identify miRNAs with potential roles in lung fibrogenesis, we performed a genome-wide assessment of miRNA expression in lungs from two different mouse strains known for their distinct susceptibility to develop lung fibrosis after bleomycin exposure. This led to the identification of miR-199a-5p as the best miRNA candidate associated with bleomycin response. Importantly, miR-199a-5p pulmonary expression was also significantly increased in IPF patients (94 IPF versus 83 controls). In particular, levels of miR-199a-5p were selectively increased in myofibroblasts from injured mouse lungs and fibroblastic foci, a histologic feature associated with IPF. Therefore, miR-199a-5p profibrotic effects were further investigated in cultured lung fibroblasts: miR-199a-5p expression was induced upon TGFβ exposure, and ectopic expression of miR-199a-5p was sufficient to promote the pathogenic activation of pulmonary fibroblasts including proliferation, migration, invasion, and differentiation into myofibroblasts. In addition, we demonstrated that miR-199a-5p is a key effector of TGFβ signaling in lung fibroblasts by regulating CAV1, a critical mediator of pulmonary fibrosis. Remarkably, aberrant expression of miR-199a-5p was also found in unilateral ureteral obstruction mouse model of kidney fibrosis, as well as in both bile duct ligation and CCl4-induced mouse models of liver fibrosis, suggesting that dysregulation of miR-199a-5p represents a general mechanism contributing to the fibrotic process. MiR-199a-5p thus behaves as a major regulator of tissue fibrosis with therapeutic potency to treat fibroproliferative diseases. Fibrosis is the final common pathway in virtually all forms of chronic organ failure, including lung, liver, and kidney, and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Fibrosis results from the excessive activity of fibroblasts, in particular a differentiated form known as myofibroblast that is responsible for the excessive and persistent accumulation of scar tissue and ultimately organ failure. Idiopathic Lung Fibrosis (IPF) is a chronic and often rapidly fatal pulmonary disorder of unknown origin characterized by fibrosis of the supporting framework (interstitium) of the lungs. Given the poor prognosis of IPF patients, new insights into the biology of (myo)fibroblasts is of major interest to develop new therapeutics aimed at reducing (myo)fibroblast activity to slow or even reverse disease progression, thereby preserving organ function and prolonging life. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), a class of non-coding RNA recently identified, are associated with normal cellular processes; and deregulation of miRNAs plays a causative role in a vast array of complex diseases. In this study, we identified a particular miRNA: miR-199a-5p that governs lung fibroblast activation and ultimately lung fibrosis. Overall we showed that miR-199a-5p is a major regulator of fibrosis with strong therapeutic potency to treat fibroproliferative diseases such as IPF.

Abstract
Epithelial cell contribution to the natural history of childhood allergic respiratory disease remains poorly understood. Our aims were to identify epithelial pathways that are dysregulated in different phenotypes of respiratory allergy. We established gene expression signatures of nasal brushings from children with dust mite-allergic rhinitis, associated or not associated with controlled or uncontrolled asthma. Supervised learning and unsupervised clustering were used to predict the different subgroups of patients and define altered signalling pathways. These profiles were compared with those of primary cultures of human nasal epithelial cells stimulated with either interleukin (IL)-4, IL-13, interferon (IFN)-α, IFN-β or IFN-γ, or during in vitro differentiation. A supervised method discriminated children with allergic rhinitis from healthy controls (prediction accuracy 91%), based on 61 transcripts, including 21 T-helper cell (Th) type 2-responsive genes. This method was then applied to predict children with controlled or uncontrolled asthma (prediction accuracy 75%), based on 41 transcripts: nine of them, which were down-regulated in uncontrolled asthma, are directly linked to IFN. This group also included GSDML, which is genetically associated with asthma. Our data revealed a Th2-driven epithelial phenotype common to all children with dust mite allergic rhinitis. It highlights the influence of epithelially expressed molecules on the control of asthma, in association with atopy and impaired viral response.

Abstract
Extensive sequencing efforts, combined with ad hoc bioinformatics developments, have now led to the identification of 1222 distinct miRNAs in human (derived from 1368 distinct genomic loci) and of many miRNAs in other multicellular organisms. The present chapter is aimed at describing a general experimental strategy to identify specific miRNA expression profiles and to highlight the functional networks operating between them and their mRNA targets, including several miRNAs deregulated in cystic fibrosis and during differentiation of airway epithelial cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epithelial-mesenchymal interactions are critical in regulating many aspects of vertebrate embryo development, and for the maintenance of homeostatic equilibrium in adult tissues. The interactions between epithelium and mesenchyme are believed to be mediated by paracrine signals such as cytokines and extracellular matrix components secreted from fibroblasts that affect adjacent epithelia. In this study, we sought to identify the repertoire of microRNAs (miRNAs) in normal lung human fibroblasts and their potential regulation by the cytokines TNF-alpha, IL-1beta and TGF-beta. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS MiR-155 was significantly induced by inflammatory cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-1beta while it was down-regulated by TGF-beta. Ectopic expression of miR-155 in human fibroblasts induced modulation of a large set of genes related to "cell to cell signalling", "cell morphology" and "cellular movement". This was consistent with an induction of caspase-3 activity and with an increase in cell migration in fibroblasts tranfected with miR-155. Using different miRNA bioinformatic target prediction tools, we found a specific enrichment for miR-155 predicted targets among the population of down-regulated transcripts. Among fibroblast-selective targets, one interesting hit was keratinocyte growth factor (KGF, FGF-7), a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, which owns two potential binding sites for miR-155 in its 3'-UTR. Luciferase assays experimentally validated that miR-155 can efficiently target KGF 3'-UTR. Site-directed mutagenesis revealed that only one out of the 2 potential sites was truly functional. Functional in vitro assays experimentally validated that miR-155 can efficiently target KGF 3'-UTR. Furthermore, in vivo experiments using a mouse model of lung fibrosis showed that miR-155 expression level was correlated with the degree of lung fibrosis. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Our results strongly suggest a physiological function of miR-155 in lung fibroblasts. Altogether, this study implicates this miRNA in the regulation by mesenchymal cells of surrounding lung epithelium, making it a potential key player during tissue injury.

Abstract
PURPOSE RPE cell activation is an important feature of autoimmune uveitis. This investigation focused on whether extracellular nucleotides could contribute to this activation, and the effects of ATPgammaS, UTP, and UDP on the production of IL-8 by RPE cells was studied in relation to their expression of functional P2Y receptors. METHODS ARPE-19 cells were cultured with ATPgammaS, UTP, UDP, and TNF. IL-8 gene transcription and protein production were measured by semiquantitative RT-PCR and ELISA. Western blot analysis and RT-PCR were used to investigate ERK 1/2 activation and P2Y expression. Changes in intracellular calcium and cAMP concentration were analyzed by spectrofluorometry and radioimmunoassay. RESULTS Stimulation of ARPE-19 cells with ATPgammaS, UTP, and UDP induced IL-8 gene transcription and protein secretion. TNFalpha induction of IL-8 secretion was also increased by ATPgammaS, UTP, and UDP. Nucleotide induction of IL-8 production was blocked by PD98059, and all nucleotides stimulated ERK 1/2 phosphorylation. P2Y(2) and P2Y(6) mRNAs were detected in ARPE-19 cells. All tested nucleotides induced a pulse of intracellular calcium. CONCLUSIONS ATPgammaS, UTP, and UDP stimulate both basal and TNFalpha-induced IL-8 secretion in RPE cells through an ERK 1/2-dependent pathway. The results suggest that those effects are mediated by P2Y(2) and P2Y(6) receptors.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides regulate ion transport and mucociliary clearance in human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) via the activation of P2 receptors, especially P2Y(2). Therefore, P2Y(2) receptor agonists represent potential pharmacotherapeutic agents to treat cystic fibrosis (CF). Nucleotides also modulate inflammatory properties of immune cells like dendritic cells (DCs), which play an important role in mucosal immunity. Using DNA-microarray experiments, quantitative RT-PCR and cytokine measurements, we show here that UTP up-regulated approximately 2- to 3-fold the antimicrobial chemokine CCL20 expression and release in primary HAECs cultured on permeable supports at an air-liquid interface (ALI). Both P2Y(2) (ATPgammaS, UTP, INS365) and P2Y(6) (UDP, INS48823) agonists increased CCL20 release. UTP-induced CCL20 release was insensitive to NF-kappaB pathway inhibitors but sensitive to inhibitors of ERK1/2 and p38/MAPK pathways. Furthermore, UTP had no effect on interleukin-(IL)-8 release and reduced the release of both CCL20 and IL-8 induced by TNF-alpha and LPS. Accordingly, UTP reduced the capacity of basolateral supernatants of HAECs treated with TNF-alpha or LPS to induce the chemoattraction of both CD4(+) T lymphocytes and neutrophils. In addition, we show that, in monocyte-derived DCs, ATPgammaS, and UDP but not UTP/INS365-stimulated CCL20 release. Likewise, UDP but not ATPgammaS was also able to increase CCL20 release from monocytes. Pharmacological experiments suggested an involvement of P2Y(11) or P2Y(6) receptors through NF-kappaB, ERK1/2, and p38/MAPK pathways. Altogether, our data demonstrate that nucleotides may modulate chemokine release and leukocyte recruitment in inflamed airways by acting on both epithelial and immune cells. Our results could be relevant for further clinical investigations in CF.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides regulate ion transport, mucociliary clearance as well as inflammatory properties of the airway epithelium by acting on P2 receptors. Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) is a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of prostaglandins during inflammation. In this study, using calcium imaging, DNA microarray experiments, real-time Reverse Transcriptase-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) and prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) measurement, we show for the first time that ATP, UTP or INS365 compound (P2Y2 receptor agonists) up-regulate COX-2 expression by approximately 3-fold and enhance the release of PGE2 in human A549 airway epithelial cells. Our data suggest that P2Y receptors may represent putative targets in airway inflammatory diseases.

Abstract
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is one of the most common lethal autosomal recessive genetic diseases in the Caucasian population, with a frequency of about 1 in 3000 livebirths. CF is due to a mutation in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene encoding the CFTR protein, a cyclic adenosine 5'-monophosphate (cAMP)-regulated chloride channel localized in the apical membrane of epithelial cells. CFTR is a multifunctional protein which, in addition to be a Cl-channel, is also a regulator of multiple ion channels and other proteins. In particular CFTR has been reported to play a role in the outflow of adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) from cells, but this remains controversial. Extracellular nucleotides are signaling molecules that regulate ion transport and mucociliary clearance by acting on P2 nucleotide receptors, in particular the P2Y(2) receptor. Nucleotides activating the P2Y(2) receptor represent thus one pharmacotherapeutic strategy to treat CF disease, via improvement of mucus hydration and mucociliary clearance in airways. Phase II clinical trials have recently shown that aerosolized denufosol (INS37217, Inspire(R)) improves pulmonary function in CF patients: denufosol was granted orphan drug status and phase III trials are planned. Here, we review what is known about the relationship between extracellular nucleotides and CFTR, the role of extracellular nucleotides in epithelial pathophysiology and their putative role as therapeutic agents.

Abstract
Extracellular ATP is known to affect the maturation of monocyte-derived dendritic cells mainly by regulation of cytokines and costimulatory molecules. The present study describes the inhibition of MCP-1 (CCL2) and MIP-1alpha (CCL3) release by human monocyte-derived dendritic cells in response to adenine nucleotides. Our pharmacological data support the involvement of P2Y11 and P2Y1 purinergic receptors in the downregulation of these major monocyte recruiters. Migration assays have demonstrated that supernatants of dendritic cells treated with adenine nucleotides or anti-MCP-1/MIP-1alpha blocking antibodies display a strongly reduced capacity to attract monocytes and immature dendritic cells.

Abstract
Olfactory receptors (ORs) are the largest member of the G-protein-coupled receptors which mediate early olfactory perception in discriminating among thousands of odorant molecules. Assigning odorous ligands to ORs is a prerequisite to gaining an understanding of the mechanisms of odorant recognition. The functional expression of ORs represents a critical step in addressing this issue. Due to limitations in heterologous expression, very few mammal ORs have been characterized, and so far only one is from human origin. Consequently, OR function still remains poorly understood, especially in humans, whose genome encodes a restricted chemosensory repertoire compared with most mammal species. In this study, we have designed cassette baculovirus vectors to coexpress human OR 17-209 or OR 17-210 with either G(alpha olf) or G(alpha16) proteins in Sf9 cells. Each OR was found to be expressed at the cell surface and colocalized with both G(alpha) proteins. Using Ca2+ imaging, we showed that OR 17-209 and OR 17-210 proteins are activated by esters and ketones respectively. Odorant-induced calcium response was increased when ORs were coexpressed with G(alpha16) protein, whereas coexpression with G(alpha olf) abolished calcium signaling. This strategy has been found to overcome most of the limitations encountered when expressing an OR protein and has permitted odorant screening of functional ORs. Our approach could thus be of interest for further expression and ligand assignment of other orphan receptor proteins.

Abstract
Extracellular nucleotides exert autocrine/ paracrine effects on ion transport by activating P2 receptors. We studied the effects of extracellular ATP and UTP on the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel stably expressed in Chinese Hamster Ovary cells (CHO-BQI cells). CFTR activity was measured using the (125I) iodide efflux technique and whole-cell patch-clamp recording in response to either forskolin or xanthine derivatives. Using RT-PCR and intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) measurement, we showed that CHO-BQI cells express P2Y2 but not P2Y4 receptors. While ATP and UTP induced similar increases in [Ca2+]i, pre-addition by one of these two agonists desensitized the response for the other, suggesting that ATP- and UTP-induced [Ca2+]i increases were mediated by a common receptor, which was identified as the P2Y2 subtype. CFTR activity was reduced by ATP and UTP but not by ADP or adenosine applications. This inhibitory effect of ATP on CFTR activity was not due to a change in cAMP level. Furthermore, CFTR activation by forskolin or IBMX failed to promote [Ca2+]i increase, suggesting that CFTR activation did not generate an ATP release large enough to stimulate P2Y2 receptors. Taken together, our results show that endogenous P2Y2 receptor activation downregulates CFTR activity in a cAMP-independent manner in CHO cells.

Abstract
1. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl(-) channel is defective during cystic fibrosis (CF). Activators of the CFTR Cl(-) channel may be useful for therapy of CF. Here, we demonstrate that a range of general anesthetics like normal-alkanols (n-alkanols) and related compounds can stimulate the Cl(-) channel activity of wild-type CFTR and delF508-CFTR mutant. 2. The effects of n-alkanols like octanol on CFTR activity were measured by iodide ((125)I) efflux and patch-clamp techniques on three distinct cellular models: (1). CFTR-expressing Chinese hamster ovary cells, (2). human airway Calu-3 epithelial cells and (3). human airway JME/CF15 epithelial cells which express the delF508-CFTR mutant. 3. Our data show for the first time that n-alkanols activate both wild-type CFTR and delF508-CFTR mutant. Octanol stimulated (125)I efflux in a dose-dependent manner in CFTR-expressing cells (wild-type and delF508) but not in cell lines lacking CFTR. (125)I efflux and Cl(-) currents induced by octanol were blocked by glibenclamide but insensitive to 4,4'-diisothiocyanatostilbene-2,2'-disulfonic acid, as expected for a CFTR Cl(-) current. 4. CFTR activation by octanol was neither due to cell-to-cell uncoupling properties of octanol nor to an intracellular cAMP increase. CFTR activation by octanol requires phosphorylation by protein kinase-A (PKA) since it was prevented by H-89, a PKA inhibitor. 5. n-Alkanols chain length was an important determinant for channel activation, with rank order of potencies: 1-heptanol<1-octanol<2-octanol<1-decanol. Our findings may be of valuable interest for developing novel therapeutic strategies for CF.

Abstract
The cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-dependent Cl(-) channel that is defective in CF disease. CFTR activity has been shown to be regulated by the G(q)/phospholipase C-linked P2Y2 subtype of P2Y nucleotide receptors (P2YR) in various systems. Here, we tested whether other P2YR may exert a regulation on CFTR activity and whether CFTR may in turn exert a regulation on P2YR signaling. Using reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reactions, antisense oligodeoxynucleotide knockdown, and measurements of intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca(2+)](i)), we showed that, in addition to P2Y2R, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells also express functional P2Y1R. P2Y1R were activated by 2-methylthioadenosine 5'-diphosphate > 2-methylthioadenosine-5'-triphosphate > ADP with an EC(50) of 30 nM, 0.2 microM, and 0.8 microM, respectively. Activation of P2Y1R increased [Ca(2+)](i), which was prevented by the P2Y1R antagonists pyridoxalphosphate-6-azophenyl-2',4'-disulfonic acid (PPADS) (10 microM) and N6-methyl 2'-deoxyadenosine 3',5'-bisphosphate (MRS2179) (10 microM) and by pretreatment with P2Y1R antisense oligodeoxynucleotides. In CHO-K1 and CHO-KNUT (mock-transfected) cells lacking CFTR, both P2Y1R and P2Y2R caused [Ca(2+)](i) mobilization via pertussis toxin (PTX)-insensitive G(q/11)-proteins. In contrast, in CFTR-expressing CHO cells (CHO-BQ1), the P2Y1R response was completely PTX-sensitive, indicating that P2Y1R couples to G(i/o)-proteins, whereas the P2Y2R response remained PTX-insensitive. In CHO-BQ1 cells, P2Y1R activation by ADP (100 microM) failed to inhibit both forskolin (1 microM)-induced CFTR activation, measured using iodide ((125)I) efflux, and forskolin (0.1-10 microM)-evoked cAMP increase. Together, our results indicate that, in contrast to P2Y2R, P2Y1R does not modulate CFTR activity in CHO cells and that CFTR expression may alter the G-protein-coupling selectivity of P2Y1R.

Abstract
Several lines of evidence indicate an association between mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the functioning of the nervous system. As neuronal development and structure as well as axonal and synaptic activity involve mitochondrial genes, it is not surprising that most mtDNA diseases are associated with brain disorders. Only one study has suggested an association between mtDNA and cognition, however. Here we provide direct evidence of mtDNA involvement in cognitive functioning. Total substitution of mtDNA was achieved by 20 repeated backcrosses in NZB/BlNJ (N) and CBA/H (H) mice with different mtDNA origins. All 13 mitochondrial genes were expressed in the brains of the congenic quartet. In interaction with nuclear DNA (nDNA), mtDNA modified learning, exploration, sensory development and the anatomy of the brain. The effects of mtDNA substitution persisted with age, increasing in magnitude as the mice got older. We observed different effects with input of mtDNA from N versus H mice, varying according to the phenotypes. Exchanges of mtDNA may produce phenotypes outside the range of scores observed in the original mitochondrial and nuclear combinations. These findings show that mitochondrial polymorphisms are not as neutral as was previously believed.
