ABSTRACT
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride/bicarbonate channel. Many studies utilize human airway cell models (cell lines and primary cells) to study different aspects of CFTR biology. Media selection can alter the growth and differentiation of primary cells, yet the impact on stable airway cell lines is unclear. To determine the impact of media and growth conditions on CFBE41o- cells stably transduced with wild-type or F508del CFTR, we examined four commonly used growth media, measuring epithelial and mesenchymal markers, as well as CFTR expression, maturation, and function. The selection of growth media altered the expression of epithelial and mesenchymal markers in the cell lines, and significantly impacted CFTR expression and subsequent function. These results highlight the importance of media selection to CFTR and cell line behavior and should be considered in both studies of primary human airway cells and stable cell lines.
