The role of histone arginine methylation in gene expression of airway smooth muscle cells in asthma (2016)
Journal Article
Kaczmarek, K., Clifford, R. L., Patel, J., Shaw, D., Dowden, J., & Knox, A. (2016). The role of histone arginine methylation in gene expression of airway smooth muscle cells in asthma. Thorax, 71(Suppl3), A214-A215. https://doi.org/10.1136/thoraxjnl-2016-209333.379

Introduction and objectives: Asthma is estimated to affect at least 300 million people globally. About 25% of the patients do not respond to therapy; therefore we need to develop novel treatments. ASM cells have a crucial role in asthma, contributing... Read More about The role of histone arginine methylation in gene expression of airway smooth muscle cells in asthma.

Epigenetic dysregulation of interleukin 8 (CXCL8) hypersecretion in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells (2016)
Journal Article
Poghosyan, A., Patel, J. K., Clifford, R. L., & Knox, A. J. (2016). Epigenetic dysregulation of interleukin 8 (CXCL8) hypersecretion in cystic fibrosis airway epithelial cells. Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 476(4), 431-437. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbrc.2016.05.140

Airway epithelial cells in cystic fibrosis (CF) overexpress Interleukin 8 (CXCL8) through poorly defined mechanisms. CXCL8 transcription is dependent on coordinated binding of CCAAT/enhancer binding protein (C/EBP)?, nuclear factor (NF)-?B, and activ...
