Oxidative Stress and Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Rare Respiratory Diseases

J Clin Med. 2021 Mar 18;10(6):1268. doi: 10.3390/jcm10061268.

Abstract

Several studies have shown that some rare respiratory diseases, such as alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD), idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), cystic fibrosis (CF), and primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD) present oxidative stress (OS) and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. Their involvement in these pathologies and the use of antioxidants as therapeutic agents to minimize the effects of OS are discussed in this review.

Keywords: Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency; antioxidant therapies; cystic fibrosis; endoplasmic reticulum stress; idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis; oxidative stress; primary ciliary dyskinesia; rare respiratory diseases.
