...Shogo Taniguchi; Ryosuke Fukuda; Tsukasa Okiyoneda The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a cAMP-regulated anion channel, which is expressed on the apical plasma membrane (PM) of epithelial cells. Mutations in the CFTR gene cause cystic fibrosis (CF), one of the most...

... based on their size or function. Two of the more well-known and widely studied ncRNA species are microRNAs (miRNAs) and lncRNAs. These are regulatory RNAs and their altered expression has been implicated in the pathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. Failure to express a functional cystic fibrosis...

...Samuel J. Bose; Toby S. Scott-Ward; Zhiwei Cai; David N. Sheppard The anion channel cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) is a unique ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter. CFTR plays a pivotal role in transepithelial ion transport as its dysfunction in the genetic disease...

... review, we discuss a plausible use of genistein in treatment of two genetic disorders: CF (cystic fibrosis) and MPS (mucopolysaccharidosis). Although various biological actions of genistein are employed in these two cases, in vitro studies, tests on animal models and pilot clinical trials suggest...

...Paul J. Buchanan; Robert K. Ernst; J. Stuart Elborn; Bettina Schock CF (cystic fibrosis) is a severe autosomal recessive disease most common in Northwest European populations. Underlying mutations in the CFTR (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) gene cause deregulation of ion transport...

... subjects with MBL deficiency remain healthy. MBL deficiency is also associated with non-infectious diseases including systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis and common variable immunodeficiency. MBL deficiency may affect susceptibility to (e.g. meningococcal disease), or alter...
