Expression of tropomyosin-I following 96 hours of co-culture. Expression of tropomyosin-I by HLFs cultured alone was not significantly different than by HLFs co-cultured with healthy BECs. Tropomyosin expression by HLFs co-cultured with asthmatic BECs was 4.3-fold higher than by HLFs co-cultured with healthy BECs (p = 0.03) and 6.2-fold greater than HLF alone (p < 0.004).
