Key Points

To assess the impact of 15-lipoxygenase-1 on MUC5AC expression in asthma-affected bronchial epithelial cells.
Evaluated 15-lipoxygenase-1 and MUC5AC expression in airway epithelial cells from asthma and control subjects ex vivo.
Inhibited 15-lipoxygenase-1 using pharmacologic and siRNA approaches in cultured bronchial epithelial cells.
Analyzed expression and activity using real-time RT-PCR, immunofluorescence, and Western blot.
Epithelial 15-lipoxygenase-1 expression increased with asthma severity (P < 0.0001).
Inhibition of 15-lipoxygenase-1 significantly decreased MUC5AC expression during IL-13 stimulation.
Exogenous 15-HETE partially restored MUC5AC expression in inhibited cells.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
