LONG NONCODING RNAS IN PULMONARY AIRWAY INFLAMMATION

摘要

The subject invention provides methods, assays, and products for preventing and/or treating pulmonary diseases. The present invention provides methods for identifying inhibitors of lncRNAs, pharmaceutical compositions comprising such inhibitors, and method of using said inhibitors in preventing and/or treating pulmonary airway inflammation. The present invention also develop novel strategies to modulate the mucous response for preventing, intervening, diagnosing and treating pulmonary airway inflammation, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) and Chronic mucus hypersecretion (CMH) pathogenesis.
