Nuclear Receptor Nur77 Attenuates Airway Inflammation in Mice by Suppressing NF-κB Activity in Lung Epithelial Cells

Allergic asthma is characterized by persistent chronic airway inflammation, which leads to mucus hypersecretion and airway hyperresponsiveness. Nuclear receptor Nur77 plays a pivotal role in distinct immune and inflammatory cells and is expressed in eosinophils and lung epithelium. However, the role of Nur77 in allergic airway inflammation has not been studied so far. In the present study, we determined the role of Nur77 in airway inflammation...
