Core Tip We developed a CRISPR/Cas9-generated humanized epithelial sodium channel δ mouse model to better mimic human gastroesophageal reflux disease. Humanized epithelial sodium channel δ aggravated acid-induced esophageal inflammation by activating the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin pathway, increasing interleukin 1 (IL-1), IL-1β, IL-17 and inducible nitric oxide synthase, and impairing barrier and contractile regulators (claudin-1 and myosin phosphatase target subunit 1). Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells reversed these changes and outperformed proton pump inhibitor in suppressing IL-17 and restoring claudin-1/myosin phosphatase target subunit 1.
