It is confirmed that the level of alkaline phosphatase in fibroblasts derived from cystic fibrosis patients can be induced many-fold by growing the cells in the presence of Tamm-Horsfall glycoprotein. It is further shown that normal fibroblasts produce a "CF corrective factor" which markedly inhibits this phenomenon. These observations support a previous hypothesis on the nature of the metabolic defect in cystic fibrosis.
已证实,通过在存在Tamm-Horsfall糖蛋白的情况下培养细胞,囊性纤维化患者来源的成纤维细胞中的碱性磷酸酶水平可被诱导增加许多倍。进一步表明,正常成纤维细胞产生一种“CF校正因子”,该因子可显著抑制这种现象。这些观察结果支持了先前关于囊性纤维化代谢缺陷本质的假说。
