MicroRNA-155-5p Differentially Regulates IL-13Rα1 and IL-13Rα2 Expression and Signaling Driving Abnormal Lung Epithelial Cell Phenotype in Severe Asthma.

Abstract excerpt

MicroRNA (miR)-155-5p increases in innate and adaptive immune cells in response to IL-13 and is associated with the severity of asthma. However, little is known about its role in airway structural cells. Bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) isolated from healthy donors and patients with severe asthma were stimulated with IL-13. miR-155-5p expression and release were measured by real-time (RT)-PCR in BECs and in...
