6-Mercaptopurine reduces cytokine and Muc5ac expression involving inhibition of NFκB activation in airway epithelial cells
2015
Background
Mucus hypersecretion and excessive cytokine synthesis is associated with many of the pathologic features of chronic airway diseases such as asthma. 6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is an immunosuppressive drug that is widely used in several inflammatory disorders. Although 6-MP has been used to treat asthma, its function and mechanism of action in airway epithelial cells is unknown.
