Caveolae and CD38 play an important role in TNF-alpha-induced airway inflammation. We hypothesized that the effects of TNF-alpha on CD38 expression and function in human airway smooth muscle (ASM) involve caveolin-1.
CD38 is expressed within caveolae and upregulated by TNF-alpha. CD38 function is linked to caveolin-1 expression as well as regulatory cavin proteins that aid interaction of caveolae with intracellular structures.
To determine how the link between caveolae and CD38 contributes to airway hyperresponsiveness.
