Akt Drives TGF-β-induced Over-secretion of DKK1 and Impairment of Cystic Fibrosis Airway Epithelium Polarity
2023-05-22
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Epithelial polarity is fundamental in maintaining barrier integrity and tissue protection. In cystic fibrosis (CF), apicobasal polarity of the airway epithelium is lost, resulting in increased apical fibronectin deposition and enhanced susceptibility to bacterial infections. Here we show that CFTR mutation in primary human airway epithelial cells (HAECs) and CFTR knockdown in a HAEC line promo...
