Activation of whole-cell CFTR currents evoked by MSN in Caco-2 cells under a conventional whole-cell patch-clamp. (ac) Representative responses of whole-cell currents to MSN (a) and effects of treatment with 10 μM CFTR inhibitor-172 (CFTR-inh: b) and pretreatment with 100 μM SQ22536 (SQ: c). Top panels: Time courses of MSN-evoked whole-cell currents recorded at +100 mV (filled circles) and −100 mV (open circles) under a ramp clamp. Grey bars show application of 400 μg/ml MSN. Filled bars show application of CFTR-inh and SQ. Bottom panels: Corresponding I-V relationships recorded at time points ac in the top panels. (d) Peak current densities measured at +100 mV in response to MSN alone and together with CFTR-inh or SQ. Each column represents the mean ± S.E.M. (n = 5–17). ***P < 0.001 compared with MSN alone.
