“…Recently, Bravo-Solarte et al, using bronchial brush samples, described genomic evidence of misregulated glutamine metabolism in airway epithelial cells from asthma patients [86]. Based on a secondary analysis of two openaccess microarray datasets from asthmatics and healthy controls, the authors found upregulation of enzymes involved in the glutamine metabolism including glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2, nitric oxide synthase 2, glutathione peroxidase 7, phosphoserine aminotransferase 1, pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1, sirtuin 7, solute carrier family 7 member 11, and solute carrier family 39 member 8 [86].…”
