The expression levels of selected genes in primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEs) from a normal subject (NHBE), an asthmatic patient (AHBE), and a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (CHBE). The expression levels of selected genes were assessed with qPCR. Using the 2^−ΔΔCt method, the relative mRNA levels in various cells were calculated. All results were expressed as the mean ± standard error of mean of three independent experiments. The expression levels were compared with analysis of variances followed by Dunnett’s test. * p < 0.05, ** p <0.01, *** p < 0.001, as compared with NHBE.
