These data collectively uncover a previously unrecognized feed-forward mechanism driving bronchospasm via two distinct classes of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) and provide a basis for reexamining α1AR inhibition for the management of stress/exercise-induced asthma and/or β2-agonist insensitivity in patients with difficult-to-control, disease subtypes. This evidence concerns the gene ADRA1A and asthma.
