DNA methylation down‐regulates integrin β4 expression in asthmatic airway epithelial cells

This study confirmed that DNA methylation regulates the decreased expression of ITGB4 in the airway epithelial cells of asthma patients. These results supply some useful insights to the mechanism of the decreased ITGB4 in asthmatic airway epithelial and provide possible targets for early prediction and screening of asthma.
