<h4>Rationale</h4>Changes in airway epithelial cell differentiation, driven in part by IL-13, are important in asthma. Micro-RNAs (miRNAs) regulate cell differentiation in many systems and could contribute to epithelial abnormalities in asthma.<h4>Objectives</h4>To determine whether airway epithelial miRNA expression is altered in asthma and identify IL-13-regulated miRNAs.<h4>Methods</h4>We used miRNA microarrays to analyze bronchial epithelial brushings from 16 steroid-naive subjects with asth ...[more]
