NF-κB Mediates Up-regulation of CFTR Gene Expression in Calu-3 Cells by Interleukin-1β
1 Mar 2001
Abstract excerpt
Inflammation of the airways is a major feature of the inherited disease cystic fibrosis. Previous studies have shown that the pro-inflammatory cytokines tumor necrosis factor alpha and interferon gamma reduce the expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene (CFTR) in HT-29 and T84 cells by acting post-transcriptionally. We have investigated the effect of the pro-inflammatory...
