Abstract excerpt
Cystic fibrosis is caused by cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations and is associated with skeletal muscle dysfunction. Prior work showed exaggerated inflammatory activation of proteolysis pathways in the diaphragms of CFTR-null mice. However, the effects of the more clinically relevant ΔF508 (DF-CFTR) mutation on diaphragm function are unknown. Homozygous DF-CFTR mice (Cftrtm1EUR)...
