A time-dependently regulated gene network reveals that Aspergillus protease affects mitochondrial metabolism and airway epithelial cell barrier function via mitochondrial oxidants
The airway epithelium maintains tight barrier integrity to prevent penetration of pathogens; thus, impairment of the barrier function is an important and common histological feature in asthmatic patients. Proteolytic allergens from fungi, pollen, and house dust mites can disrupt epithelial barrier i...
