- W3206426385 abstract "Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian population. Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease (CFLD) is defined as the pathogenesis related to the underlying CFTR defect in biliary epithelial cells. CFLD needs to be distinguished from other liver manifestations that may not have any pathological significance. The clinical/histological presentation and severity of CFLD vary. The main histological presentation of CFLD is focal biliary fibrosis, which is usually asymptomatic. Portal hypertension develops in a minority of cases (about 10%) and may require specific management including liver transplantation for end-stage liver disease. Portal hypertension is usually the result of the progression of focal biliary fibrosis to multilobular cirrhosis during childhood. Nevertheless, non-cirrhotic portal hypertension as a result of porto-sinusoidal vascular disease is now identified increasingly more frequently, mainly in young adults. To evaluate the effect of new CFTR modulator therapies on the liver, the spectrum of hepatobiliary involvement must first be precisely classified. This paper discusses the phenotypic features of CFLD, its underlying physiopathology and relevant diagnostic and follow-up approaches, with a special focus on imaging.

This paper discusses the phenotypic features of CFLD, its underlying physiopathology and relevant diagnostic and follow-up approaches, with a special focus on imaging. Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common autosomal recessive disease in the Caucasian population. It is caused by pathogenic variants in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a chloride channel expressed in epithelial cells. Liver involvement, which is reported in up to approximately 40% of patients with CF,[1]Boëlle P.-Y. Debray D. Guillot L. Clement A. Corvol H.

These may be related to epiphenomena such as infectious episodes or drug hepatotoxicity, steatosis from diverse origins (diabetes, chronic diarrhoea, pancreatic insufficiency, malnutrition, obesity...) or hepatic congestion of cardio-pulmonary origin.[2]Lamireau T.

Until the pathogenic mechanisms of CFLD are better understood, a phenotypic approach seems to be the most appropriate way to analyse and report outcomes in these cases. The lexicon should follow the North American and European Societies for Paediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition which recommend the following phenotypic characterisation: multilobular cirrhosis with or without portal hypertension or liver failure, liver involvement with or without portal hypertension but without cirrhosis, or no evidence of liver involvement.[4]Debray D.

Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease, related to the underlying CFTR defect, includes two main, sometimes co-existing, manifestations: focal biliary fibrosis and porto-sinusoidal vascular disease. The pathogenesis of CFLD remains poorly understood. In the liver, CFTR chloride channel expression is restricted to the apical membrane of cholangiocytes lining the biliary ducts.[13]Cohn J.A.

A proper alkaline balance, described by Beuers et al. as the 'bicarbonate umbrella', protects cholangiocytes against hydrophobic bile acids.[14]Beuers U. Hohenester S. de Buy Wenniger L.J.M.

This would cause retention of endogenous hydrophobic bile acids, cell membrane injury, peribiliary inflammation, and focal biliary fibrosis.[15]Feranchak A.P. Sokol R.J.

Indeed, FXR is expressed in enterocytes and activates FGF19 synthesis, which circulates to the liver to act as a negative feedback regulator of cholesterol 7a-hydroxylase (Cyp7a1), the first enzyme of the bile acid synthesis pathway.[30]Kliewer S.A.

In addition, CFTR-deficient mice models have demonstrated a defect in peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) function, whose stimulation could downregulate NF-κB-mediated inflammation.[31]Scirpo R.

The anatomical proximity of the portal system to the bile ducts and the pro-inflammatory state resulting from CFTR-defective cholangiocytes have not been explored. One hypothesis is that the intrahepatic portal system is involved secondary to the pro-inflammatory state in the bile ducts.
