Abstract:Both endogenous and exogenous proteases have been implicated in allergic airway diseases. Though recent studies have demonstrated the role of airway epithelial cells in pathophysiology of allergic diseases, the mechanisms of epithelial activation remain largely unknown. Recently published study (Kale and Arora, 2014) focused on elucidating the role of proteolytic activity of Per a 10 on airway epithelial activation and to gain an insight into possible mechanism. We found that airway epithelial activation by Pe… Show more
