Diet‐Induced Dysbiosis and Genetic Background Synergize With Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator Deficiency to Promote Cholangiopathy in Mice
10 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
The most typical expression of cystic fibrosis (CF)–related liver disease is a cholangiopathy that can progress to cirrhosis. We aimed to determine the potential impact of environmental and genetic factors on the development of CF‐related cholangiopathy in mice. Cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (Cftr)−/− mice and Cftr +/+ littermates in a congenic C57BL/6J background were fed a high...
