Calprotectin in Cystic Fibrosis

Abstract: BackgroundThere is increasing evidence that intestinal inflammation plays a major role in gastrointestinal symptoms in cystic fibrosis (CF). Fecal calprotectin is a marker that is elevated in several gastrointestinal inflammatory diseases, but little is known about its value in CF. We aimed to look for associations of elevated fecal calprotectin among CF patients and whether its level correlates with the clinical manifestations of CF.MethodsA single stool specimen was collected from 62 patients with CF. Fecal … Show more

“…[21] Serum S100A8 levels have been shown to increase in inflammatory disease, such as autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease), various types of cancer, cystic fibrosis, and neurodegeneration. [22][23][24] In our study, serum S100A8 levels were higher in females with PCOS compared to controls.…”

“…Calgranulin A (S100A8) is a low molecular weight protein with calcium binding properties that is released by activated granulocytes and mediates inflammatory signaling pathways, such as the NF‐kB pathway . Serum S100A8 levels have been shown to increase in inflammatory disease, such as autoimmune disease (including rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease), various types of cancer, cystic fibrosis, and neurodegeneration . In our study, serum S100A8 levels were higher in females with PCOS compared to controls.…”

“…The presence of mutation in the ABCC7/CFTR gene has been associated with cystic brosis (CF) which is a prevalent disease in white populations, dysfunction and changes in gene expression has been implicated in other diseases development, including chronic in ammation 11,12 . In patients with CF has been observed an increase of fecal calprotectin as same as happens in the in ammatory bowel disease (IBD) [13][14][15] . The ABCC7/CFTR knock-out mice model developed intestinal in ammation suggesting a role of this gene in the gut in ammation 12,16 .…”

“…It is well known that CFTR has been widely studied in cystic brosis (CF) and recently, it has grown interest in to study its role in other diseases or in ammatory conditions such as in the biliary epithelium and intestine 12,22−24 . In animal models and in vitro studies have demonstrated the role of CFTR in the intestinal in ammatory process characterized by histological in ltration of immune cells and increased of in ammatory fecal biomarkers [13][14][15][16] .…”
