microRNA‐218‐5p plays a protective role in eosinophilic airway inflammation via targeting δ‐catenin, a novel catenin in asthma

Abstract

microRNA (miR)‐218‐5p is involved in cigarette smoke‐induced airway inflammation. In our earlier asthma epithelial miRNA profiling data, miR‐218‐5p was the top 2 down‐regulated miRNA. We hypothesize that miR‐218‐5p plays a role in asthma airway inflammation.
