mRNA expression was assayed from bronchial epithelial cells collected via bronchoscopy and nasal epithelial cells collected by brushing the inferior turbinate from healthy current and never smoker volunteers in order to determine the relationship between smoking-related gene expression changes in b...

In vitro toxicology approaches have evolved, from a focus on the molecular changes within a cell to understanding of toxicity-related mechanisms that simulate the in vivo environment. The recent development of three dimensional (3-D) organotypic nasal epithelial culture models offer a physiologicall...

Background: Mechanisms underlying the development of virus-induced asthma exacerbations remain unclear. Objective: To investigate if epigenetic mechanisms could be involved in virus-induced asthma exacerbations, we undertook DNA methylation profiling in asthmatic and healthy nasal epithelial cells (...

Background: In asthma, airway epithelium remodeling can already be detected during childhood, and epithelial cells are more susceptible to virus and oxidative stress. Their exact role in natural history and severity of children allergic respiratory disease remains however surprisingly unexplored. A...

A comparative gene expression analysis was performed using cDNA microarray technology in passage-2 normal human nasal epithelial cells to identify the differentially expressed genes between influenza A virus infected and uninfected cells. Two samples were analyzed. RNA was extracted from normal huma...

Background: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) in western countries is characterized by eosinophilia, IgE production and Th2 cytokine expression. Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) from polyps produce IL-5 and IL-13 in response to IL-25 and IL-33 although the relevance of this axi...

The nasal epithelium is an important target site for chemically-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity. Human epidemiological investigations and experimental laboratory animal studies show that the nasal olfactory epithelium is selectively damaged by inhalation exposure to several chemicals, includin...

A small-scale whole genome microarray study of gene expression in human native nasal epithelial cells from F508del-CFTR homozygous CF patients and non-CF controls. We used the custom designed Affymetrix HsAirwaya520108F Arrays to compare gene expression in 5 CF and 5 non CF nasal epithelial cell sam...

Formaldehyde, an important industrial chemical, is used for multiple commercial purposes throughout the industrialized world. This simple, one carbon aldehyde is a natural metabolite formed in cells throughput the body. However, it is also a rodent nasal carcinogen, when inhaled by rats every day ...

We are investigating the methylation profiles associated with cigarette smoke exposure. We used arrays to compare the DNA methylation profiles in healthy human smokers and nonsmokers. Nasal epithelial cells were extracted from 12 volunteers (6 smokers, 6 nonsmokers), and grown until fully differenti...
