Almost two decades after CFTR was identified as the gene responsible for cystic fibrosis (CF), we still lack answers to many questions about the pathogenesis of the disease, and it remains incurable. Mice with a disrupted CFTR gene have greatly facilitated CF studies, but the mutant mice do not develop the characteristic manifestations of human CF, including abnormalities of the pancreas, lung, intestine, liver, and other organs. Because pigs share many anatomical and physiological features with humans, we generated pigs with a targeted disruption of both CFTR alleles. Newborn pigs lacking CFTR exhibited defective chloride transport and developed meconium ileus, exocrine pancreatic destruction, and focal biliary cirrhosis, replicating abnormalities seen in newborn humans with CF. The pig model may provide opportunities to address persistent questions about CF pathogenesis and accelerate discovery of strategies for prevention and treatment.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570747/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2570747/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Rogers, Christopher S -- Stoltz, David A -- Meyerholz, David K -- Ostedgaard, Lynda S -- Rokhlina, Tatiana -- Taft, Peter J -- Rogan, Mark P -- Pezzulo, Alejandro A -- Karp, Philip H -- Itani, Omar A -- Kabel, Amanda C -- Wohlford-Lenane, Christine L -- Davis, Greg J -- Hanfland, Robert A -- Smith, Tony L -- Samuel, Melissa -- Wax, David -- Murphy, Clifton N -- Rieke, August -- Whitworth, Kristin -- Uc, Aliye -- Starner, Timothy D -- Brogden, Kim A -- Shilyansky, Joel -- McCray, Paul B Jr -- Zabner, Joseph -- Prather, Randall S -- Welsh, Michael J -- AI076671/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- DK54759/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- HL07638/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL51670/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- K08 AI076671/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- K08 AI076671-01/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL051670/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL051670-15/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK054759/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK054759-10/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK054759-109004/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 DK051315/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007638/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- T32 HL007638-23/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- Howard Hughes Medical Institute/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Sep 26;321(5897):1837-41. doi: 10.1126/science.1163600.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Internal Medicine, Roy J. and Lucille A.
