Molecular-Based Haplotype Analysis of the β 2-Adrenergic Receptor Gene (ADRB2) in Japanese Asthmatic and Non-Asthmatic Subjects.
BACKGROUND The β2-adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) is a target molecule of β2-agonists. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the ADRB2 are related to the effectiveness of β2-agonists. However, there are some discrepancies in the results of pharmacogenetic studies of ADRB2 among different ethnic groups. The aims of this study were to determine the ADRB2 haplotypes and diplotypes in Japanese...
متن کاملBeta-adrenergic function in airways of healthy and asthmatic subjects.
We measured the short-term effects of beta-adrenergic blockade with propranolol (0.2 mg/kg iv), followed by stimulation with salbutamol (200 mug inhaled), on specific airway conductance (SGaw) heart rate, and systemic blood pressure (BP) in 11 healthy subjects, and 11 symptom-free asthmatics with normal lung function values. Propranolol induced a significant bronchoconstrictor effect in both gr...
متن کاملMolecular Characterization and Expression Analysis of Adrenergic Receptor Beta 2 (ADRB2) Gene before and after Exercise in the Horse
The adrenergic receptor beta 2 (ADRB2) plays a role in various physiological responses of the muscle to exercise, such as contraction and relaxation. Given its important role in muscle function, we investigated the structure of the horse ADRB2 gene and its expression pattern after exercise to determine if it can serve as a putative biomarker for recovery. Evolutionary analyses using synonymous ...
متن کاملThe site of disruption of the bronchial epithelium in asthmatic and non-asthmatic subjects.
BACKGROUND Attention has recently been focused on the basal cells of the tracheobronchial epithelium as the mechanism of anchorage of the tall columnar cells, which themselves do not appear to form hemidesmosomes with the basement membrane of the epithelium. Residual basal cells have been described as remaining attached to the basement membrane after epithelial denudation. This led this group t...
متن کاملGlutathione peroxidase activity and mRNA expression in eosinophils and neutrophils of asthmatic and non-asthmatic subjects.
Asthma has been reported to be associated with a reduction in the activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), an important antioxidant enzyme. However, the expression of GSH-Px enzyme activity has not previously been investigated in human eosinophils, which are important inflammatory cells involved in asthma. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction and Southern blotting demonstrated th...
