Relationship between airway epithelial barrier dysfunction and allergic asthma / 国际儿科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Airway epithelial barrier dysfunction has been observed in allergic asthma patients.Inhaled allergens have shown a disruptive effect on the airway epithelial barrier.Airway barrier related genetic variation and epigenetics are also involved in the airway epithelial barrier dysfunction.A lot of studies believe that airway epithelial barrier dysfunction underlie the development of asthma.The study of the relationship between allergic asthma and airway epithelial barrier function will be helpful to understand the pathogenesis of allergic asthma and provide new ideas for the treatment of allergic asthma.
