Abstract excerpt
Recently, we demonstrated that prostaglandin (PG)I2 has a regulatory role in allergic responses through the receptor, IP; however, the role of PGI2 in airway remodeling associated with chronic airway inflammation has not been elucidated. In the present study, we examined the role of PGI2 in allergen-induced airway remodeling using IP gene-deficient mice. Mice were sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) with alum, and...
