This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.The goal of this investigation is to determine the influences of treatment with fluticasone and salmeterol on smooth muscle alterations in asthma at the biochemical level, and to relate these findings to genotype at selected gene loci. The overall hypothesis is that treatment with these agents quantitatively and/or qualitatively alters asthmatic smooth muscle, in the amounts and types of protein and/or RNA species present. If the hypothesis is correct, then protein and/or RNA that is extracted from airway smooth muscle isolated using laser capture microdissection from endobronchial biopsies of asthmatic subjects before or after treatment should reveal differences by analyses that include real-time PCR, cDNA microarrays, and western blotting.
