ECFS Clinical Meeting Liverpool TMEM16A potentiator Objectives: TMEM16A (ANO1) is a Ca2+-activated, alternative chloride channel expressed in the human airway epithelium. A potentiator of TMEM16A is predicted to enhance the secretion of chloride and thereby increase mucus hydration and clearance in the CF lung. Our aim is to discover and test the efficacy of novel […]

Something old and something new: ENaC & TMEM16A as targets to hydrate mucus in the CF airway Henry Danahay, Enterprise Therapeutics, Brighton, UK In the absence of functional CFTR in the apical membrane, the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) and TMEM16A, a calcium activated chloride channel, are key regulators of airway mucosal hydration. As drug targets, […]

TMEM16A channel function does not influence goblet cell numbers in the human airway epithelium Henry Danahay1,2, Martin Gosling1,2 1University of Sussex, Brighton, UK; 2Enterprise Therapeutics, UK. A role for the calcium activated chloride channel, TMEM16A, in the regulation of airway goblet cell populations has been recently reported (Kondo et al., 2017; Lin et al., 2015; […]
