Figure Lengend Snippet: Concentration‐response analysis of cAMP elevating agents on apical fluid pH. Human airway epithelial (Calu‐3) cells were exposed to cAMP elevating agent (a and b) forskolin and (c and d) isoproterenol in the basolateral (bottom) compartment for 3 h at various concentrations. (a and c) A dose–response curve for measured apical fluid pH is depicted and (b and d) comparisons between treatment groups were performed. Data presented as means ± SD ( n = 4–5, FSK; n = 5, ISO). A one‐way ANOVA with subsequent multiple comparisons was used for statistical analysis. **** p ≤ 0.0001.
Article Snippet: The human airway epithelial cell line Calu‐3 (male, age 25) (ATCC, HTB‐55), derived from lung adenocarcinoma tissue, was cultured in Alpha‐Minimum Essential medium (α‐MEM) (Corning, 10‐022‐CV) supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum (VWR, 080‐450), 1% HEPES (Corning, 25‐060‐CI), and 1% penicillin–streptomycin (VWR, 97063‐708) at 37°C and 5% CO 2 for both submerged and air‐liquid interface (ALI) culture conditions.
