Protease-activated receptor 1 in the pathogenesis of cystic fibrosis by Sarath Ranganathan, Philip Sutton, Sophie Day, Poshmaal Dhar, Kristy Azzopardi, Muhammad A Saeed, Sohinee Sarkar, Jia-Xi Han

“…DKO mice (lacking both CFTR and PAR1) gained body weight at a similar rate to Cftr-/- mice but only gained weight in their proximal colons. Weight gain in the ilea of Cftr-/- but not DKO mice was associated with increased ileal levels in the pro-inflammatory cytokine interleukin (IL)-6.Conclusions This study provides the first evidence of PAR1 contributing to the pathological effects of Cftr deficiency in the intestine and suggests a possible effect of PAR1 on the regulation of IL-6 in CF pathogenesis.…”
