Chronic respiratory aeroallergen exposure in mice induces epithelial-mesenchymal transition in the large airways. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Chronic allergic asthma is characterized by Th2-polarized inflammation and leads to airway remodeling and fibrosis but the mechanisms involved are not clear.

Parkin Promotes Airway Inflammatory Response to Interferon Gamma

Biomedicines, 2023
Purpose: Increased type 2 interferon (i.e., IFN-γ) signaling has been shown to be involved in airway inflammation in a subset of asthma patients who often show high levels of airway neutrophilic inflammation and poor response to corticosteroid treatment.

Annexin A2 Mediates Mycoplasma pneumoniae Community-Acquired Respiratory Distress Syndrome Toxin Binding to Eukaryotic Cells

mBio, 2014
Mycoplasma pneumoniae synthesizes a novel human surfactant protein A (SP-A)-binding cytotoxin, designated community-acquired respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) toxin, that exhibits ADP-ribosylating and vacuolating activities in mammalian cells and is ...

CXCR1 and CXCR2 Inhibition by Ladarixin Improves Neutrophil-Dependent Airway Inflammation in Mice

Frontiers in Immunology, 2020
RationaleIncreased IL-8 levels and neutrophil accumulation in the airways are common features found in patients affected by pulmonary diseases such as Asthma, Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis, Influenza-A infection and COPD.

A pilot randomized clinical trial of γ-tocopherol supplementation on wood smoke–induced neutrophilic and eosinophilic airway inflammation

Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: Global, 2023
Background: Air pollutants, including particulates from wood smoke, are a significant cause of exacerbation of lung disease. γ-Tocopherol is an anti-inflammatory isoform of vitamin E that has been shown to reduce allergen-, ozone-, and endotoxin-induced ...

ADP-Ribosylation of NLRP3 by Mycoplasma pneumoniae CARDS Toxin Regulates Inflammasome Activity

mBio, 2014
The inflammasome is a major regulator of inflammation through its activation of procaspase-1, which cleaves prointerleukin-1β (pro-IL-1β) into its mature form.

Novel Lung Growth Strategy with Biological Therapy Targeting Airway Remodeling in Childhood Bronchial Asthma

Children, 2022
Anti-inflammatory therapy, centered on inhaled steroids, suppresses airway inflammation in asthma, reduces asthma mortality and hospitalization rates, and achieves clinical remission in many pediatric patients.

Distal respiratory tract viral infections in young children trigger a marked increase in alveolar mast cells

ERJ Open Research, 2018
Viral infections predispose to the development of childhood asthma, a disease associated with increased lung mast cells (MCs). This study investigated whether viral lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) can already evoke a MC response during ...

Role of FK506-sensitive signals in asthmatic lung inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Asthma is airway inflammatory diseases caused by the activation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and type 2 helper T (TH2) cells. Cysteine proteases allergen cause tissue damage to airway epithelial cells and activate ILC2-mediated type 2 airway ...

NETopathic Inflammation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and Severe Asthma

Frontiers in Immunology, 2019
Neutrophils play a central role in innate immunity, inflammation, and resolution. Unresolving neutrophilia features as a disrupted inflammatory process in the airways of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and severe asthma.
