Mucus clearance, MyD88-dependent and MyD88-independent immunity modulate lung susceptibility to spontaneous bacterial infection and inflammation

It has been postulated that mucus stasis is central to the pathogenesis of obstructive lung diseases. In Scnn1b-transgenic (Scnn1b-Tg(+)) mice, airway-targeted overexpression of the epithelial Na(+) channel β subunit causes airway surface dehydration, which results in mucus stasis and inflammation....
