Gene Expression Profiles of Acute Exacerbations of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
10 Apr 2009
Abstract excerpt
RATIONALE: The molecular mechanisms underlying acute exacerbations of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are poorly understood. We studied the global gene expression signature of acute exacerbations of IPF. OBJECTIVES: To understand the gene expression patterns of acute exacerbations of IPF. METHODS: RNA was extracted from 23 stable IPF lungs, 8 IPF lungs with acute exacerbation (IPF-AEx), and 15 control lungs...
