Club Cell Protein-16 modifies airway inflammation in asthma and is associated with significant clinical asthma outcomes

Conclusion: Lack of CC16 results in enhanced T2 inflammatory responses in both human primary cell culture and a mouse model. CC16 mRNA levels inversely correlated with MUC5AC which was supported by the CC16 knockdown experiments, and significantly associated with clinically relevant asthma outcomes.
