Abstract:Sodium 4‐Phenylbutyrate (4PBA) improves the aberrant trafficking of ΔF508‐CFTR in Cystic Fibrosis (CF) epithelial cells, at least in part by increasing expression of Hsp70 (stress‐induced 70 kDa heat shock protein). To identify other 4PBA‐regulated proteins that may improve ΔF508 trafficking, we performed differential display RT‐PCR on mRNA from IB3‐1 CF bronchiolar epithelial cells treated for 0–24 h with 1 mM 4PBA. StIP‐1, a STAT‐3 (signal transducer and activator of transcription‐3) interacting protein, had… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
