Abstract excerpt
The pathophysiologic mechanisms causing inflammation in cystic fibrosis (CF) remain obscure. The effects of proapoptotic agents on pancreatic and tracheal cell lines expressing wild-type CFTR (PANC-1 and NT-1, respectively) or the homozygous CFTRDeltaF508 mutation (CFPAC-1 and CFT-2, respectively) were assessed. An increased susceptibility to apoptosis was observed in CFPAC-1 and CFT-2 cells. Apoptosis was...
