PI3K inhibitor treatment ameliorates the glucocorticoid insensitivity of PBMCs in severe asthma

Abstract Background Glucocorticoid (GC) insensitivity is an important feature of severe and fatal asthma. Oxidative stress can induce phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) activation, contributing to the development of GC insensitivity in chronic airway diseases. However, the underlying molecular mechani...
