What is A Pilot Study of Differential Gene Expressions in Patients with Cough Variant Asthma and Classic Bronchial Asthma about?
## Background: Despite extensive exploration of asthma, the mechanism of asthma has not been fully elucidated. cough variant asthma (cva) is considered as precursor to classical asthma (ca). comparative study between ca and cva may be helpful in further understanding the pathogenesis of asthma. ## Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (pbmcs) were isolated from cva, ca and healthy adults. each group consisted of five cases. total rna was extracted from the pbmcs. agilent 4 × 44 k human genome oligo microarray was used to detect whole genome expression. allogeneic clustering, gene ontology and kegg analysis were performed to investigate differentially expressed genes (degs). then, ten candidate genes were screened and verified by real-time pcr. ## Results: Gene expressions were significantly different among the three groups, with 202 degs between the ca and the cva groups. the gene ontology analysis suggested that the degs were significantly enriched in 'histone h4-k20 demethylation' and 'antigen processing and presentation of endogenous antigens'. and were selected as candidate genes. however, the results of real-time pcr showed that the expression levels of and in the cough
