Methylation Profiles of IL33 and CCL26 in Bronchial Epithelial Cells are Associated with Asthma
23 Nov 2018
Abstract excerpt
AIM: This study aimed to characterize DNA methylation (DNA-me) in promoter region of IL33, IL1RL1 and CCL26 in asthma and their impacts on transcriptional activity in bronchial epithelial cells (BECs). PATIENTS & METHODS: We performed bis-pyrosequencing, quantitative real-time PCR and sequencing in BECs from ten asthmatic and ten control individuals. RESULTS: We detected lower DNA-me levels of IL33 and CCL26 in...
