Fig. 3From: Eosinophils enhance WNT-5a and TGF-β1 genes expression in airway smooth muscle cells and promote their proliferation by increased extracellular matrix proteins production in asthmaEosinophil adhesion to airway smooth muscle cells at various time points. Results are shown as mean ± SEM. Asthma patients, n = 8; healthy subjects, n = 10. *p < 0.05 compared with healthy individuals. Eosinophil peroxidase substrate oxidation is expressed as the percent difference from the absorbance in control ASMC cultured without eosinophilsBack to article page
