Staphylococcus enterotoxin A induces MUC5B expression via Toll-like receptor 2, extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2, and p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase in human airway epithelial cells.

CONCLUSION: These results show for the first time that SEA induces MUC5B expression via TLR2, ERK1/2, and p38 MAPK signaling pathway in human airway epithelial cells.
