Breakdown in epithelial barrier function in patients with asthma: Identification of novel therapeutic approaches
Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 06/29/09
Swindle EJ et al. - The bronchial epithelium is pivotally involved in the provision of chemical, physical, and immunologic barriers to the inhaled environment. These barriers serve to maintain normal homeostasis, but when compromised, the immunologic barrier becomes activated to protect the internal milieu of the lung. The authors discuss what is currently understood about abnormalities in these barrier functions in patients with asthma and consider novel therapeutic opportunities that target this key structure.
