Objective:This study aims to screen for asthma-related candidate genes and validate at the population and animal levels to explore the pathogenesis of asthma. Methods:The asthma-related sputum chip was searched from Gene Expression Omnibus(GEO),the differentially expressed genes were screened by GEO 2R,and the asthma-related genes were screened by reference to the whole gene association analysis(GWAS). Asthmatic children and healthy children’s sputum specimens werecolle cted. Mouse asthma model construct and rat mast cell strain(RBL-2H3)asthma model were constructed,and real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR)was used for differential expression verification. Results:Two sets of asthmatic gene chip data were included,and 190 differentially expressed genes with crossovers were selected. GWAS was used to finally screen out the asthma-related gene PDE4D. It was further verified that the expression of PDE4D was increased in the sputum samples of asthmatic children(P < 0.05),and decreased in the whole lung tissue of the asthma mouse model(P < 0.05),but up-regulated in the sensitized RBL-2H3 cells(P < 0.05). Conclusion:PDE4D is differentially expressed in human,asthmatic mice and mast cells,which may serve as a research target for mast cells to participate in the development of asthma.
