Low CC16 mRNA Expression Levels in Bronchial Epithelial Cells Are Associated with Asthma Severity
6 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Rationale CC16 is a protein mainly produced by nonciliated bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) that participates in host defense. Reduced CC16 protein concentrations in BAL and serum are associated with asthma susceptibility. Objectives Few studies have investigated the relationship between CC16 and asthma progression, and none has focused on BECs. In this study, we sought to determine if CC16 mRNA...
