Expression data from asthmatic and healthy airway smooth muscle cells
Asthmatic airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) are intrinsically different and have a differential transcriptional response to pro-fibrotic, pro-proliferation and pro-inflammatory stimuli than ASMC from healthy patients. We sought to identify genes that are differentially expressed between asthmatic and healthy ASMC under various stimulations which mimic the asthmatic airways. To this end, we obtained human ASMC from bronchial biopsies and explanted lungs from doctor diagnosed asthmatic patients (n=3) and healthy controls (n=3). The ASMC were then grown in culture and treated with pro-fibrotic (Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ)), pro-proliferation (Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)) and pro-inflammatory stimuli (Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1β)) for 8 hours. Gene expression was then evaluated using Affymetrix Human Gene 1.0ST arrays.
