This cross sectional study will be carried out on 30 subjects who will be recruited from the outpatient clinic of Chest Department, Tanta University Hospital.
They will be classified into 3 groups:
Group I: It will include 10 healthy volunteer subjects. Group II: It will include 10 asthmatic patients. Group III: It will include 10 COPD patients. miR-7, miR-20a, miR-21, miR-22, miR-145 and miR-155 will be measured in serum samples from all subjects
The following will be done for all subjects:
Quantitative assessment of miRNA levels: will be used to assay miR-7, miR-20a, miR-21, miR-22, miR-145 and miR-155 in serum samples from all subjects. These miRNAs were selected based on prediction algorithms that suggested that these miRNAs were involved in the regulation of cytokines.
