| Description : |
The STR polymorphism in the CMA1 gene is associated with asthma and that this association is even stronger with atopic asthma. CMA1 and IL-4 in atopic asthma and for IL-4 in atopy in general. The local angiotensin II system (LAS) has numerous functions, including the regulation of growth and differentiation in the gastrointestinal tract. Angiotensin II (AngII) may be generated by angiotensin-I-converting enzyme (ACE) or mast cell chymase (CMA1) and plays an important role in inflammatory processes, although opinions differ as to which AngII-generating enzyme is primarily associated with AngII-mediated effects. ACE in the gastric mucosa and the microvasculature of granulation tissue may represent a novel therapeutic target for the promotion of healing processes in gastritis and ulceration using ACE inhibitors or AT1R antagonists. The gene for mast cell chymase (CMA1) is an ideal candidate for investigating genetic predisposition to atopic asthma, as it is an important mediator of inflammation and remodeling in the asthmatic lung. (CMA1) is important for the generation of angiotensin II and therefore might be associated with the pathogenesis of hypertension. |
