Summary

Cystic fibrosis, one of the most common lethal inherited disorders in N. European and N. American populations, is characterized by the production of abnormally viscous mucous secretions in the lungs and digestive tract. The pathophysiological basis of the disease is unknown. However, during the last few years, rapid advances in molecular genetics and biochemical and physiological studies on cystic fibrosis epithelial cells have led to optimism that the cystic fibrosis defect will soon be identified. Current evidence suggests that the basic disturbance lies in altered regulation of protein secretion and electrolyte transport leading to an imbalance in composition of epithelial secretions in cystic fibrosis patients. Increasing knowledge of the mechanisms regulating production and secretion of mucins and movement of electrolytes across the cell membrane should lead to development of pharmacological manipulation(s) to correct the cellular abnormality. Ultimately, it is hoped that this will lead to the development of a rational treatment for cystic fibrosis patients.
