Gene expression in whole lung and pulmonary macrophages reflects the dynamic pathology associated with airway surface dehydration
1 Jan 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Defects in airway mucosal defense, including decreased mucus clearance, contribute to the pathogenesis of human chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. Scnn1b-Tg mice, which exhibit chronic airway surface dehydration from birth, can be used as a model to study the pathogenesis of muco-obstructive lung disease across developmental stages. To identify molecular signatures associated with obstructive...
