Pharmacological stimulation of the E193K mutant. A to C, representative
short-circuit current recordings from transfected FRT cells showing response
of the E193K-CFTR mutant to different concentrations of felodipine, PG-01, and
SF-01. Before addition of potentiators, cells were stimulated with maximal
forskolin (20 μM). At the end of the experiments, CFTR-dependent currents
were blocked with CFTRinh-172 (10 μM). D, dose-response
relationships for the three potentiators. Each point is the average ±
S.E.M. of six to nine experiments. Data were fitted with a Hill equation.
