Lung inflammation by fungus, Bjerkandera adusta isolated from Asian sand dust (ASD) aerosol and enhancement of ovalbumin-induced lung eosinophilia by ASD and the fungus in mice. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundBjerkandera adusta (B. adusta) is one of the most important etiological fungi associated with chronic cough. However, precise details of the inflammatory response to exposure are not well understood yet. B.

STAT6 Activation Exacerbates Ferroptosis in Airway Epithelium by Inhibiting PRKN‐Mediated Mitophagy in Pulmonary Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study uncovers STAT6‐driven pulmonary fibrosis (PF) via suppression of PRKN‐mediated airway epithelial mitophagy, triggering mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis. Rifabutin is identified as a potent STAT6 inhibitor that effectively reverses fibrotic progression. These findings reveal the STAT6‐PRKN axis as a pathogenic regulator and provide a

Transcriptomic characterization of the human segmental endotoxin challenge model

Scientific Reports
Segmental instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by bronchoscopy safely induces transient airway inflammation in human lungs. This model enables investigation of pulmonary inflammatory mechanisms as well as pharmacodynamic analysis of investigational ...

United airway disease: current perspectives

Journal of Asthma and Allergy, 2016
Upper and lower airways are considered a unified morphological and functional unit, and the connection existing between them has been observed for many years, both in health and in disease.

PVC Nanoplastics Exposure Exacerbates Asthma through R‐Loop Accumulation and Subsequent STING Activation in Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanoplastics (NPs) are shown to aggravate allergic airway inflammation in asthma by triggering R‐loop accumulation and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway in macrophages. This study reveals a novel immunotoxic mechanism linking environmental plastic exposure to asthma pathogenesis and highlights potential molecular targets for ...

The Airway Microbiome at Birth

Scientific Reports, 2016
Alterations of pulmonary microbiome have been recognized in multiple respiratory disorders. It is critically important to ascertain if an airway microbiome exists at birth and if so, whether it is associated with subsequent lung disease.

PFKFB2‐Driven Glycolysis Promotes Dendritic Cell Maturation and Exacerbates Acute Lung Injury

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Paraquat (PQ) or lipopolysaccharide (LPS) exposure activates the HIF‐1α–PFKFB2 pathway, driving glycolysis in dendritic cells (DCs). This metabolic shift enhances DC maturation and immune activation, exacerbating acute lung injury (ALI). This study demonstrates that PFKFB2‐driven glycolytic reprogramming in DCs plays a critical role in the pathogenesis
