Small-molecule Akt-activation in airway cells induces NO production and reduces IL-8 transcription through Nrf-2

BACKGROUND: The non-cancerous functions of Akt in the airway are understudied. In some tissues, Akt phosphorylates and activates endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) to produce nitric oxide (NO) that has anti-inflammatory effects. NO production has antibacterial and antiviral effects in the airw...
