Increased TMEM16A Involved in Alveolar Fluid Clearance After Lipopolysaccharide Stimulation

Inflammation

Abstract

Transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) regulates a wide variety of cellular activities, including epithelial fluid secretion and maintenance of ion homeostasis. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), an outer membrane component of Gram-negative bacteria, is one of the major causes of acute lung injury (ALI). In this study, we investigated the effects of LPS on the expression of TMEM16A in LA795 cells and mouse lung tissue and the potential mechanism. We detected the expression of TMEM16A in LA795 cells and mouse lung tissue by RT-PCR, Western blot, and RNA interference techniques. TMEM16A expression was significantly increased by LPS stimulation in LA795 cells and in mouse lung tissue. Moreover, the LPS-induced TMEM16A expression enhancement in lung tissue was much more prominent in the alveolar epithelial region than in bigger airway epithelial cells. The typical TMEM16A current was recorded, and LPS treatment significantly enhances the current amplitude in LA795 cells. TMEM16A shRNA or TMEM16A inhibitor (T16Ainh-A01) did not affect alveolar fluid clearance (AFC), while co-application of T16Ainh-A01 induced a stronger AFC inhibition than LPS alone. LPS notably and synchronously enhanced Akt phosphorylation (p-Akt) and TMEM16A expression in a ...Continue Reading
