Cystic fibrosis, usually due to severe mutation in bothalleles of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ) gene, causes an accelerated non-calcific form of chronic pancreatitis that begins in utero : oxidative stress and inflammation are now regarded as integral features of the disease, driven by unfolded CFTR via the ER stress-UPR system (121, 177)
Notably, increased NAD+ levels also activate NAD+dependent signaling pathways such as sirtuins (SIRT1/SIRT3), further enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis and energy metabolism
For instance, antigenic variability of the PorB porin affects its binding to TLR2 and consequently bacterial internalization (Toussi et al., 2016)
