Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Azithromycin treatment improves clinical parameters in patients with CF, and alters macrophage activation from a pro-inflammatory (M1) phenotype to a pro-fibrotic, alternatively activated (M2) phenotype. The transcriptional profile of cells from patients receiving azithromycin is unknown. METHODS: Gene expression in association with macrophage polarization, inflammation, and tissue remodeling was...
