Abstract
The care for cystic fibrosis (CF) has dramatically changed with the development of modulators, correctors, and potentiators of the CFTR molecule, which lead to improved clinical status of most people with CF (pwCF). The modulators influence phospholipids and ceramides, but not linoleic acid (LA) deficiency, associated with more severe phenotypes of CF. The LA deficiency is associated with upregulation of its transfer to arachidonic acid (AA). The AA release from membranes is increased and associated with increase of pro-inflammatory prostanoids and the characteristic inflammation is present before birth and bacterial infections. Docosahexaenoic acid is often decreased, especially in associated liver disease Some endogenously synthesized fatty acids are increased. Cholesterol and ceramide metabolisms are disturbed. The lipid abnormalities are present at birth, and before feeding in transgenic pigs and ferrets. This review focus on the lipid abnormalities and their associations to clinical symptoms in CF, based on clinical studies and experimental research.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
