“…CD4 + T lymphocytes, especially Th2 lymphocytes, play an important role in the initiation, progression and persistence of asthma [48]. The expression of 13 proteins increased and 12 decreased in T lymphocytes from asthmatic patients, as compared to the healthy [49]. Among them, phosphodiesterase 4C, heat shock protein (HSP)-70, protein tyrosine phosphatase, β-arrestin-1b, thioredoxin-like 2, LLR protein, glutathione reductase, major histocompatibility complex class I antigen, epidermal growth factor receptor, pyrroline 5-carboxylate reductase isoform, and FLJ25770 protein increased, while dynein, cytoplasmic light intermediate polypeptide 2, vimentin, zinc finger protein 76, tubulin β 2 , T-cell receptor β-chain, cyclin-dependent kinase 6, pyridoxal kinase, phenylalanine hydroxylase, glutathione S-transferase-M3, and tetratricopeptide repeat-containing protein decreased.…”
