Research Abstract |
Primary fibroblast lines were established from human nasal and lung tissues. We looked at the expression of microRNA induced by cutokines. miR-146a was induced by TGF-βin lung fibroblast lines, but not in nasal fibroblast lines. IL-4/IL-13 and TNF-α induced the production of TSLP as well as miR-375 in nasal fibroblasts.
