AAV-mediated MUC5AC siRNA delivery to prevent mucociliary dysfunction in asthma
2025-03-14
Abstract excerpt
The main structural components of mucus produced in the lung are mucin 5B (MUC5B) and mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) where a relatively higher expression of MUC5B is typical in health. In the lungs of individuals with asthma, there is a shift from MUC5B to MUC5AC as the predominantly secreted mucin which has been shown to impair mucociliary clearance (MCC) and increase mucus plug formation in the airways. Given its role in as...
