Acidic mammalian chitinase--a potential target for asthma therapy

Trends in Pharmacological Sciences
Louise E Donnelly, Peter J Barnes

Abstract

Recently, inhibition of acidic mammalian chitinase in a murine asthmatic model was reported to have a profound anti-inflammatory effect, leading to the suggestion that this enzyme might be a novel therapeutic target for T helper 2-driven diseases such as asthma. The mechanism of action of such an enzyme in asthma pathology is unclear but the enzyme appears to mediate interleukin 13-dependent responses in a STAT6-independent manner. This observation has led to the proposal that chitinase family members are important mediators in allergic diseases including asthma.

Anti-inflammatory Treatments

A drug or substance that reduces inflammation (redness, swelling, and pain) in the body. Anti-inflammatory agents block certain substances in the body that cause inflammation and swelling. Discover the latest research on anti-inflammatory treatments here

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
