DNA methylation modules in airway smooth muscle are associated with asthma severity
15 Feb 2018
Abstract excerpt
Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disorder characterised by airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammation and remodelling, including airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) hyperplasia and subepithelial airway fibrosis [1, 2]. ASMCs from severe asthmatics are hyperproliferative, release more pro-inflammatory cytokines and are corticosteroid-insensitive compared with those from healthy individuals and non-severe asthma...
