1 Possible association of SLC22A2 polymorphisms with aspirin-intolerant asthma. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
2 Solute carrier family 22, member 2 (SLC22A2), also known as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), is predominantly expressed in the luminal membrane of airway epithelial cells and has been shown to mediate the transport of prostaglandins on the cyclooxygenase pathway which is regulated by aspirin blockage. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
3 Solute carrier family 22, member 2 (SLC22A2), also known as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), is predominantly expressed in the luminal membrane of airway epithelial cells and has been shown to mediate the transport of prostaglandins on the cyclooxygenase pathway which is regulated by aspirin blockage. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
4 Solute carrier family 22, member 2 (SLC22A2), also known as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), is predominantly expressed in the luminal membrane of airway epithelial cells and has been shown to mediate the transport of prostaglandins on the cyclooxygenase pathway which is regulated by aspirin blockage. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
5 Solute carrier family 22, member 2 (SLC22A2), also known as organic cation transporter 2 (OCT2), is predominantly expressed in the luminal membrane of airway epithelial cells and has been shown to mediate the transport of prostaglandins on the cyclooxygenase pathway which is regulated by aspirin blockage. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
6 METHODS: To investigate the associations between AIA and genetic polymorphisms of the SLC22A2 gene, 18 variants were genotyped in 163 AIA subjects and 429 aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA) controls. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
7 In addition, a polymorphism in intron 4 (rs3912161) and a haplotype (SLC22A2-ht3) showed significantly stronger association signals with the FEV(1) fall rate induced by aspirin provocation in AIA subjects compared with ATA controls (p = 0.004, P(corr) = 0.05). Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
8 CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that SLC22A2 could be a susceptibility gene for aspirin intolerance in asthmatics. Aspirin solute carrier family 22 member 2 Homo sapiens
