Although basal expression level of Cav1 was lower in CF DC (p < 0.01) compared to WT DC, both groups responded to P. aeruginosa infection with a upregulation of Cav1 (p < 0.05, Figure 5A) resulting in similar fold change in the expression level after P. aeruginosa infection compared to the control (7.0-fold and 6.0-fold, Figure 5B). Here, CAV1 is linked to cystic fibrosis.
