Previous microarray studies in CF have been conducted in :Primary cells (ΔF508/ ΔF508): Zabner, Wright.Transgenic mouse model (CFTR(-/-)): Xu,
Radzioch.Human Airway Epithelial (HAE) cell lines
(ΔF508/W1282X): Virella-Lowell.
• Although all of these models are heterogeneous, these studies come to the same global conclusion : There is a modulation of inflammatory actors in CF cells. So far, no relation has been shown between possible metabolic pathways and modulated genes.
1-Introduction
2-Hypothesis
CFTR deficiency in HAE cells triggers specific pathways involved in the inflammatory response.
Goal of the present microarray study:
Carry out a differential expression analysis on a CF (ΔF508/ ΔF508) and a non-CF human airway epithelial cell lines.Determine the biological processes modulated in CF.Determine the metabolic pathways modulated in CF.
3-Specific Objectives
2 cell lines•immortalized byDr. Joseph Zabner.•The study was carried out on cell lines to reduce biological variability and allows a higher confidence in microarray analysisand interpretation.
Nuli cells:Normal Lung, University of Iowa Derived from HAE of normal genotype.
Cufi cells:

CLCA4:The protein encoded by this genebelongs to the calcium sensitive chloride conductance protein family.The exact function of this protein isnot known.
STAT1:This protein can be activated by various ligands including interferon-alpha, interferon-gamma, EGF, PDGF and IL6. This protein mediates the expressionof a variety of genes, which is thought to be important for cell viability in response to different cell stimuli and pathogens.
Results: Other interesting genes modulated in Cufi confirmed by qPCR.
Conclusion• In the absence of pathogen agents, we
observe an up-regulation of several inflammatory actors in Cufi cells.
• CFTR deficiency could be responsible for an excessive immune and inflammatory response.
• The highest regulated genes are implicated in the TLR signaling pathway, therefore there could be a dysregulation of this pathway in CF cells.
