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.
IBAT: ileal bile acid transporter; CFTR: cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator.
found significant decreases in active bile acid uptake when examining ileal brush border membrane vesicles [ 11 ] and proposed that altered viscosity of the ileal mucus was likely not a factor in ileal bile acid malabsorption associated with cystic fibrosis.
These specimens were everted and the intestinal sleeves secured onto 1 mm diameter stainless steel rods using 3-0 silk ties as described previously [ 15 ] . The distal ileal segments from 1-2 cm proximal to the ileocecal valve (immediately adjacent to the tissue used in the uptake experiments) and the jejunal segments were used for immunohistochemistry studies.
These unusual changes were never found in any jejunal samples and occurred only occasionally as weak signals in ileal samples from wild-type animals.
