Graduate College Dissertations and Theses
The proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase Src is a ubiquitously expressed non-receptor tyrosine kinase involved in critical cellular functions including wound healing, migration, survival, and proliferation. Accordingly, aberrant Src signaling is also significantly involved in many diseases. Src is most well known as an oncogenic protein, however, there are emerging roles for Src signaling in various tissues involved in inflammatory diseases. One such tissue is the respiratory epithelium, which comprises the first line of defense against inhaled microbial, particulate, and chemical insults and is a critical nexus of innate immune signaling. Recent work has detailed the involvement of Src in many innate …
