To examine the unknown trafficking pathway of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), we utilized baby hamster kidney cells stably expressing CFTR fused with green fluorescent protein. CFTR trafficking from the ER was visualized and analyzed by immunocytochemical analyses. Here we show that CFTR was exported from the ER to the cis-Golgi and early endosome, suggesting that CFTR transport in the early secretory pathway may utilize a non-conventional pathway. This CFTR trafficking pathway may be a target for pharmacological modulation that selectively stimulates CFTR transport.
