Could a defective epithelial sodium channel lead to bronchiectasis.

Respiratory research - 28 May 2008

Fajac Isabelle, Viel Marion, Sublemontier Sébastien, Hubert Dominique, Bienvenu Thierry

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Bronchiectasis is defined as a permanent dilation of the airways arising from chronic bronchial inflammation/infection. In 50% of cases, no etiology can be identified. Recently, the role of the epithelial sodium channel ENaC has been pointed out in the pathophysiology of cystic fibros...
