Abstract
Airway epithelial salt and water transport takes place through paracellular and transcellular pathways. This transport depends critically on the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), operating in concert with the paracellular pathway through the tight junctions (TJ). Normal (16HBE14o-), cystic fibrosis (CFBE41o-), and corrected CFBE41o- (CFBE41o-pCep4 overexpressing wtCFTR) airway epithelial cell lines were cultured under isotonic conditions. Transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) was measured as indicator of the tightness of the cultures. Morphology was investigated by immunofluorescence and paracellular pe
