A Calcium‐Activated Chloride Channel Blocker Inhibits Goblet Cell Metaplasia and Mucus Overproduction

open access: yes, 2002
We have previously shown that expression of a Ca 2+ ‐activated Cl − channel (mCLCA3 in mice and hCLCA1 in humans) is up‐regulated along with goblet cell metaplasia and mucus overproduction in the lungs of interleukin 9 (IL9) transgenic mice, and in human
