Inhibiting HIF2A for asthma
Inhibiting the transcription factor HIF2A could help treat asthma by preventing the polarization of stem-like Th2 cells into pathogenic Th2 cells in the lungs, thus decreasing airway inflammation.
In bioinformatic analyses of public patient data sets, HIF2A was highly expressed in pathogenic Th2 cells in lung and nasal polyp samples, respectively, from asthma patients and patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp who also had ongoing or historical asthma. ...
