Q

How does the gly change to asp affect gating as a class 3 mutation

A

Occurs in one of the atp binding sites so atp can’t bind and affects gating activity (sheppard and Walsh 1999)

25
Is CFTR expressed evenly on all epi cells
No. Expressed on ionocytes a lot more which is a therapeutic target
26
Which article talks about other channels and the asl homeostasis
Haq et Al 2015
27
Which 3 channels are important for asl homeostasis which are all modulated by CFTR
CaCC, slc26a, enac
28
What are the 2 layers of asl
Periciliary layer pcl which is kept water for cilia movement Then gel-mucin made mucus on top
29
In normal airways not cf, which protein regulates enac so no na hyper absorption
Splunc1
30
Which conditions is this lost in
Low ph/acidic ph eg when CFTR doesn’t work
31
What does water leaving the pcl mean
Compression of the ciliary layer as mucus builds up
32
What does slc26a do for homeostasis
Uses the Cl/HCO exchanger it has to secrete HCO for ph regulation therefore increasing splunc1 action and maintains bacterial barrier
33
Which article discusses in copd lectures suggested which things cause mucus hypersecretion in cf too
Kim 2013 Th2,th17, infections, NE, oxidative stress
34
How does mucus actually increase
Goblet cell hyperplasia and submucosal gland hypertrophy
35
Which 4 effects does acidification in cf cause
Mucus misfolding/ viscosity Amp/antimicrobial impaired reduced sphingipid metabolism Reduced control of ion transport (splunc 1)
36
Which spingolipud accumulates in cf due to the ph affecting metabolism enzymes (brodlie et Al 2010)
Ceramide (
37
What does ceramide accumulation do (brodlie 2010)
Increases chronic inflammation through death of airway epi cells, proinflam cytokines and susceptibility to pa
38
Which infections seen in younger cf patients
S aureus mainly but also hinfleunzae | Pa is in older
39
What % does mrsa affect in cf which is more virulent as methicillin resistant
5-15%
40
What sorts of things can if sa is pathogenic do
Damage to epi cells, inflammation and infiltration of other pathognes
41
When is fev1 worse than just if cf have sa alone (schwerdt et Al 2018)
If co colonised with pa so could be synergistic
42
When is sa most common in cf (schwerdt 2018)
7-19years (schwerdt 2018)
43
Which article discusses more saureus and airway epi cells
Silva 2004
44
Which antimicrobial things needed to fight saureus
Lysozymes, lactoferrins, slpI
45
How can saureus induce apoptosis and necrosis in epi cells causing more inflammation and damage
Has an a-toxin which forms pores in membrane by cleaving phospholipids
46
Which pathways of inflammation can saureus and pa induce
Nfkb and il8
47
Which article discusses cf, pa and inflammation
Hart 2002
48
Which th response does pa trigger which was linked to mucus hypersecretion in Kim 2013
Th2
49
Why would the f508 deletion reduce clearance of pa
Because usually internalised through the cf and then cleared in the cell
50
Which exo polysaccharides do pa produce which can block neutrophil protection
Alginate
51
Which process of signalling allows pa to produce biofilms and also alginate (virulence)
Quorum sensing
52
What do they release which causes damage to airway and low fev1
Proteases, elastases, lipases
53
Which liquid in lungs do they reduce causing collapse
Surfactant
54
How do they increase during inflammation/ chronic inflammation (malhotra 2019)
Aea nitrates which build up during inflammation
55
Which bacteria is harder to treat than pa and saureus
Non tuberculous mycobacterium
56
Why would someone with ntm not have a transplant
Cannot be immunosuppressed as ntm severely reduces lung function
57
Which types of remodelling can neutrophilic inflammation cause
Bronchitis and bronchiectasis in cf (progressive and persistent inflammation)
58
Other than neutrophils what else is seen in cf inflammation and remodelling
TNFa, il 1b, il17, il6, il8
59
What % of wbc are neutrophils
60%
60
Other than hyperplasia of goblet cells why other remodelling occurs in cf
Thickening of reticular basement membrane and smooth muscle of airway due to hyperplasia
61
What is the reticular basement membrane
The layer under epi cells before the submucosa begins then smooth muscle
62
Which cytokines associated with cf can cause basal cell hyperplasia (thick bm) (adam et Al 2015)
Il1b, il6, tnfa
63
Which part of pa can cause goblet cell hyperplasia
Lps
64
What are Ali cell cultures
Airway liquid interface cultures Samples from nose of lower airways via a brush sample taken to study airways of cf
65
Which equipment is used to measure ion transport/ study channels in the Ali cultures
Ussing chamber
66
Why is a gradient present / polarised cells in epi cells
Polarised between the apical and baso lateral site
67
What activates CFTR electrical movement in ussing chamber if functional
Foreskolin
68
What would happen if a CFTR inhibitor added if functional
Massive drop in electrical movement
69
How is this different to if not functional eg Cf patients
No electrical movement change when foreskolin or the inhibitor added through CFTR
70
Which Cl channel works for both cf and non cf seen when utp added to ussing chamber showing potential therapy
Tmem16a
