mRNA expression of the ten genes in bronchial epithelium using, GSE76227 transcriptomic dataset that contains the expression data of 190 bronchial biopsies (BB) and epithelial brushing (BRUSH) from Unbiased BIOmarkers in Prediction of REspiratory Disease outcomes (U-BIOPRED) Project. The normalized gene expression of each of the identified genes was extracted and compared between different subgroups. The datasets were subdivided into nonsevere asthmatic (MAS), severe asthmatics (SAS) (oral steroid naïve (N) vs. oral steroid users (OS).
