Fig 3 Hypothesized shared pathways leading to asthma and inflammation. A, SPINK5 overexpression increases levels of inflammatory cytokines. B, LEKTI deficiency increases KLK5/7/14 levels, activating through protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) and nuclear factor κB (NFkB), leading to TSLP production, and causing allergy and lung inflammation. C, LEKTI deficiency increases profillagrin cleavage compromising the skin barrier and contributing to sensitization and subsequent asthma. Solid lines represent published pathways, and dashed lines represent hypothesized pathways.
