Regions of Inflammation in mouse asthma correspond to regions of heme-free soluble guanylyl cyclase and can be tracked by marked expression of heme-oxygenase-1

Abstract excerpt
Asthma is characterized by airway remodeling and hyperreactivity. Our earlier studies determined that the Nitric Oxide (NO)-soluble Guanylyl Cyclase (sGC)-cGMP pathway plays a significant role in human lung bronchodilation. However this bronchodilation is dysfunctional in asthma due to high NO levels which cause sGC to become heme-free and desensitized to its natural activator, NO. In order to determine how asthma...
