Fig. 6From: 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 asthmaEffect of co-culture of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) with eosinophils on collagen gene expression. Gene expression was measured after 24 h of incubation. Results are presented as mean − ΔΔCt ± SEM. Asthma patients, n = 8; healthy subjects, n = 10. *p < 0.05 compared with eosinophils from healthy subjects; #p < 0.05 compared with control ASMC cultured without eosinophilsBack to article page
