Protein expression of TRP channels in the esophagus of patients with gastroesophageal reflux (GER)-associated cough

Conclusions: Cough in GER patients is associated with the increased expression of TRPV4 in the esophagus but not with RE or reflux symptoms. Further studies are needed to elucidate the pathogenesis and precise roles of the increased TRPV4.
