Mishra A, Yao X, Levine S
Dis Model Mech . 2013 Jul; 6(4):877-88. PMID: 23828644
Asthmatics with a severe form of the disease are frequently refractory to standard medications such as inhaled corticosteroids, underlining the need for new treatments to prevent the occurrence of potentially...

Mishra A
J Biomed Sci . 2013 May; 20:26. PMID: 23634990
Purinergic P2X7 receptor (P2X7R), an ATP-gated cation channel, is unique among all other family members because of its ability to respond to various stimuli and to modulate pro-inflammatory signaling. The...

Weng T, Mishra A, Guo Y, Wang Y, Su L, Huang C, et al.
Biochem Biophys Res Commun . 2012 May; 422(4):586-9. PMID: 22595456
P2X7 receptor (P2X7R) is a purinergic ion-channel receptor. We have previously shown that the activation of P2X7R in alveolar type I cells stimulates surfactant secretion in alveolar type II cells....

Wang P, Howard M, Zhang H, Chintagari N, Bell A, Jin N, et al.
Cell Biol Int . 2012 May; 36(9):785-91. PMID: 22571236
Lung surfactant is crucial for reducing the surface tension of alveolar space, thus preventing the alveoli from collapse. Lung surfactant is synthesized in alveolar epithelial type II cells and stored...

Mishra A, Chintagari N, Guo Y, Weng T, Su L, Liu L
J Cell Sci . 2011 Jan; 124(Pt 4):657-68. PMID: 21266468
Alveolar epithelium is composed of alveolar epithelial cells of type I (AEC I) and type II (AEC II). AEC II secrete lung surfactant by means of exocytosis. P2X(7) receptor (P2X(7)R),...

Chintagari N, Mishra A, Su L, Wang Y, Ayalew S, Hartson S, et al.
PLoS One . 2010 Feb; 5(2):e9228. PMID: 20169059
Lung surfactant reduces surface tension and maintains the stability of alveoli. How surfactant is released from alveolar epithelial type II cells is not fully understood. Vacuolar ATPase (V-ATPase) is the...

Zhang H, Mishra A, Chintagari N, Gou D, Liu L
IUBMB Life . 2009 Dec; 62(1):78-83. PMID: 20014235
Lung surfactant is secreted via exocytosis of lamellar bodies from alveolar epithelial type II cells. Whether micro-RNAs regulate lung surfactant secretion is unknown. Micro-RNA-375 (miR-375) has been shown to be...

Gou D, Mishra A, Weng T, Su L, Chintagari N, Wang Z, et al.
J Biol Chem . 2008 Mar; 283(19):13156-64. PMID: 18332131
Annexin A2, a calcium-dependent phospholipid-binding protein, is abundantly expressed in alveolar type II cells where it plays a role in lung surfactant secretion. Nevertheless, little is known about the details...
