Neutrophil Elastase Causes MUC5AC Mucin Synthesis Via EGF Receptor, ERK and NF-kB Pathways in A549 Cells

BACKGROUND: Neutrophil elastase (NE) was found to increase the respiratory mucin gene, MUC5AC, although the molecular mechanisms of this process remain unknown. We attempted to determine the signal transduction pathway through which NE induces MUC5AC gene expression in bronchial epithelial cells. ME...
