Down-regulation of the Anti-inflammatory Protein Annexin A1 in Cystic Fibrosis Knock-out Mice and Patients

Abstract excerpt

Cystic fibrosis is a fatal human genetic disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene encoding a cAMP-activated chloride channel. It is characterized by abnormal fluid transport across secretory epithelia and chronic inflammation in lung, pancreas, and intestine. Because cystic fibrosis (CF) pathophysiology cannot be explained solely by dysfunction of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), we...
