Decreased expression of uteroglobin-related protein 1 in inflamed mouse airways is mediated by IL-9
6 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
Uteroglobin-related protein 1 (UGRP1) is a secretory protein, highly expressed in epithelial cells of airways. Although an involvement of UGRP1 in the pathogenesis of asthma has been suggested, its function in airways remains unclear. In the present study, a relationship between airway inflammation, UGRP1 expression, and interleukin-9 (IL-9), an asthma candidate gene, was evaluated by using a murine model of...
