Effect of epithelium ATP release on cyclic pressure-induced airway mucus secretion

Effect of epithelium ATP release on cyclic pressure-induced airway mucus secretion

The cyclic mechanical effect of airflow during breathing creates the optimal airway hydration state. MUC (mucin) 5AC is an important component of the airway mucus. The formation of MUC5AC is related to ATP and intracellular calcium in the epithelial cells. In this study, we evaluated the effect of...
