Responses of the human airway epithelium transcriptome to in vivo injury

Abstract excerpt

To identify genes participating in human airway epithelial repair, we used bronchoscopy and brushing to denude the airway epithelium of healthy individuals, sequentially sampled the same region 7 and 14 days later, and assessed gene expression by Affymetrix microarrays with TaqMan RT-PCR confirmation. Histologically, the injured area was completely covered by a partially redifferentiated epithelial layer after 7...
