Upregulation of antimicrobial peptide expression in slc26a3-/- mice with colonic dysbiosis and barrier defect
1 Mar 2022
Abstract excerpt
Genetic defects in SLC26A3 (DRA), an intestinal Cl−/HCO3− exchanger, result in congenital chloride diarrhea (CLD), marked by lifelong acidic diarrhea and a high risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Slc26a3−/− mice serve as a model to understand the pathophysiology of CLD and search for treatment options. This study investigates the microbiota changes in slc26a3−/− colon, the genotype-related causes for the...
