Effects of Controlled Diesel Exhaust and Allergen Exposure on microRNA and Gene Expression in Humans. Modulation of Lung Inflammatory Markers Associated with Asthma
Abstract
Rationale: Air pollution may contribute to the development of allergic diseases, including asthma, by enhancing immune responses to allergen, but the effects on microRNA, messenger RNA, and inflammatory markers remain unexplored. Objectives: To determine if acute exposure to diesel exhaust and/or allergen alters expression of microRNA and genes with effects on inflammatory markers associated with asthma. Methods: Fifteen atopic participants …
