Of the 168 genes that were changed in asthma, several biological processes were overrepresented, with 25 genes involved in "immune system processes". qPCR confirmed that S100P, S100A16, MAL and MUC1 were significantly increased in the asthma group post-meal. We also observed a strong correlation and a moderate correlation between the change in NLRP12 and S100A16 gene expression at 4 h compared to baseline, and the change in total and saturated non-esterified plasma fatty acid levels at 2 h compared to baseline. In summary, our data identifies differences in inflammatory gene expression that may contribute to increased airway neutrophilia following a high fat meal in subjects with asthma and may provide useful therapeutic targets for immunomodulation. This may be particularly relevant to obese asthmatics, who are habitually consuming diets with a high fat content.]]> Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:29:16 AEDT ]]> Fatty acids and the innate immune responses https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27504 Wed 11 Apr 2018 17:13:42 AEST ]]> Saturated fatty acids, obesity, and the nucleotide oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in asthmatic patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34928 Tue 04 Jun 2019 14:03:19 AEST ]]>
