Microarray analysis of the expression profiles of lung tissue in two murine models of asthma revealed high levels of arginase I and arginase II activity, in association with IL-4 and IL-13 overexpression, suggesting that arginine pathways are critical in the pathogenesis of asthma.
在两种哮喘小鼠模型中对肺组织表达谱进行的微阵列分析显示,精氨酸酶I和精氨酸酶II活性水平很高,同时伴有白细胞介素-4(IL-4)和白细胞介素-13(IL-13)的过表达,这表明精氨酸途径在哮喘发病机制中至关重要。
