Differential expression of the 9 screened aging-related genes in peripheral blood of asthma patients
In order to detect the expression of the previous screened 9 aging-related genes in asthma patients, peripheral blood was collected from 51 HCs and 55 asthma patients, respectively. The demographic characteristics of the all subjects was shown in Table 2. There was no significant difference between in age between asthma patients and HCs. Compared with HCs, the mRNA expression of AREG, ATG3, E2F1, FOXO3, HDAC1, MMP2, NUF2, TGFB1 and TP53 in the asthma group changed significantly (Figure 1).
