An alternative mechanism for the upregulation of IBAT in cystic fibrosis is that CFTR acts as a negative regulator of IBAT, as it does for the epithelial sodium channel [ 36 ] . As IBAT is a sodium-dependent apical membrane transporter, it might be regulated by CFTR, as is the epithelial sodium channel (ENaC) present in the apical membrane of the ileal enterocyte.
A story says scientists may have found the reason for cystic fibrosis.
These observations suggest that nontypeable H. influenzae grows as a biofilm in the respiratory tract of adults with COPD, reminiscent of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and its well established propensity to grow as a biofilm while causing infection in patients with cystic fibrosis [ 27 ] .
However, in several studies the correlation between fecal fat excretion and fecal bile acid loss could not be demonstrated, suggesting that additional factors are responsible for bile acid malabsorption in cystic fibrosis [ 9 10 ] . In vitro studies using brush border membrane vesicles or bathed tissue samples from patients with cystic fibrosis have shown that total ileal bile acid uptake is diminished [ 11 12 ] .
Supplementation with pancreatic enzymes and a low-fat diet can markedly reduce the fecal excretion of bile acids [ 9 10 20 23 ] . Other evidence, however, suggests that a diminished capacity of the ileal mucosa for bile acid uptake plays a significant role in bile acid malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis that is independent of triglyceride concentrations.
