Development of primary human nasal epithelial cell cultures for the study of cystic fibrosis pathophysiology. Am J Physiol Cell Physiol 303: C1173-C1179, 2012. First published September 26, 2012; doi:10.1152/ajpcell.00384.2011.-Cultured primary epithelial cells are used to examine inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF). We describe a new human model system using cultured nasal brushings. Nasal brushings were obtained from 16 F508del homozygous patients and 11 healthy controls. Cells were resuspended in airway epithelial growth medium and seeded onto collagen-coated flasks and membranes for use in patch-clamp, ion transport, and mediator release assays. Viable cultures were obtained with a 75% success rate from subjects with CF and 100% from control subjects. Amiloride-sensitive epithelial Na channel current of similar size was present in both cell types while forskolin-activated CF transmembrane conductance regulator current was lacking in CF cells. In Ussing chambers, cells from CF patients responded to UTP but not to forskolin. Spontaneous and cytomix-stimulated IL-8 release was similar (stimulated 29,448 +/- 9,025 pg/ml; control 16,336 +/- 3,308 pg/ml CF; means +/- SE). Thus nasal epithelial cells from patients with CF can be grown from nasal brushings and used in electrophysiological and mediator release studies in CF research.
