Adgrf5−/− mice exhibited several features of chronic airway inflammation (mucous cell metaplasia, mucus hyperproduction, subepithelial fibrosis, respiratory acidosis, high serum IgE, mast cell accumulation, and neutrophilia) in parallel with elevated expression of genes involved in mucous cell metaplasia (Muc5ac, Muc5b, Slc26a4, and Clca1), fibrosis (Tgfb1, Col1a1, Fn1, and Tnc), and type 2 immune response (Il4, Il5, Il13, IL-25, and IL-33) at 12 and/or 30 weeks of age. The gene discussed is IL25; the disease is inflammatory response.
