ITLN-1 mRNA expression and protein production induced by IL-13 in primary cultured BECs in vitro. a ITLN-1 mRNA expression with or without IL-13 stimulation, in BECs from-asthma patients (p < 0.0001). b ITLN-1 protein production enhanced with or without IL-13 stimulation, in BECs from asthma patients (p < 0.0001). c Inhibitory effect of MF (1 µM) induced ITLN-1 mRNA expression by IL-13 stimulation asthma subjects. MF significantly decreased ITLN-1 mRNA expression (p = 0.0242). d MF inhibited modestly induced ITLN-1 protein production from BECs from asthma subjects. Comparisons were done using the Wilcoxon test
