Mucus Protein May Trigger Worsening Asthma
Sugars in a specific mucus protein can induce the apoptosis of white blood cells meant to attack parasites, which can combat asthma, according to research published in Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
Researchers from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine examined lungs from normal and mucin-deficient mice, as well as mouse tracheal epithelial cells both in vitro and in vivo in order to isolate, biochemically identify, and biologically characterize naturally occurring endogenous glycan ligands for Saliac acid binding, immunoglobulin like lectin F (Siglec F). Siglec F is the mouse equivalent of the human protein Siglec 8. The white blood cells, called eosinophils, can worsen asthma and other diseases and eczema when too many of the cells get activated.....
