INTRODUCTION: The kinesin family number 3A (KIF3A) gene on the human chromosomal 5q31-33 region, which is known as a susceptibility locus for immune diseases including asthma, plays a crucial role in generation of cilia. RESULTS: A treatment with aspirin in the human bronchial epithelial cells increased the mRNA expression level of KIF3A compared to that of the untreated control (P ≤ 0.01), and nasal polyp...
