Acute exposure to realistic simulated urban atmospheres exacerbates pulmonary phenotype in cystic fibrosis-like mice.

Abstract excerpt

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a lethal genetic disorder caused by pathogenic mutations of the CFTR gene. CF patients show a high phenotypic variability of unknown origin. In this context, the present study was therefore dedicated to investigating the effects of acute exposure to air pollution on the pulmonary morbidity of a CF-like mice model. To achieve our aim, we developed a multidisciplinary approach and designed...
