A Method to Reduce the Downregulation of Beta2-adrenergic Receptors in Asthma and COPD
Advantages Discovered a new mechanism responsible for ∼50% of the β agonist-promoted down-regulation of β2Ars. Let-7f miRNA reduces β2-adrenergic receptor (β2AR) downregulation in airway smooth muscle cells. Targets microRNA let-7f to mitigate β-agonist-induced tachyphylaxis and improve efficacy in asthma and COPD treatments. Offers...
