Early growth response 2 as a target of IL-13/STAT6 signaling induces the goblet cell metaplasia of allergic airway epithelia
Together, upregulation of EGR2 expression in allergic airway epithelia contributes to the goblet cell metaplasia and mucous hypersecretion, and intervention of EGR2 is thus a promising approach in the therapy of the cardinal feature of asthma.
