Validation of the Human Ozone Challenge Model as a Tool for Assessing Anti-Inflammatory Drugs in Early Development [PDF]

, 2005
This study aimed to test the utility of the ozone challenge model for profiling novel compounds designed to reduce airway inflammation. The authors used a randomized, doubledummy, double-blind, placebo-controlled 3-period crossover design alternating ...

Targeting TSLP With shRNA Alleviates Airway Inflammation and Decreases Epithelial CCL17 in a Murine Model of Asthma

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids, 2016
Airway epithelium defends the invasion from microorganisms and regulates immune responses in allergic asthma. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) from inflamed epithelium promotes maturation of dendritic cells (DCs) to prime Th2 responses via CCL17 ...

Remodelling and Inflammation in Bronchial Asthma

European Journal of Inflammation, 2003
Chronic stable asthma is characterized by inflammation of the airway wall, with abnormal accumulation of basophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, mast cells, macrophages, dendritic cells and myofibroblasts.

Regulatory T cells mediated immunomodulation during asthma: a therapeutic standpoint

Journal of Translational Medicine, 2020
Asthma is an inflammatory disease of the lung airway network, which is initiated and perpetuated by allergen-specific CD4+ T cells, IgE antibodies, and a massive release of Th2 cytokines.

PM2.5 Induced Nasal Mucosal Barrier Dysfunction and Epithelial–Mesenchymal Transition to Promote Chronic Rhinosinusitis Through IL4I1-AhR Signaling Pathway

Toxics
Environmental pollutants like PM2.5 contribute to chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a contaminant sensor linked to tryptophan metabolites, is regulated by IL4I.

Airway Inflammation and Structural Changes in Airway Hyper-Responsiveness and Asthma: An Overview

Canadian Respiratory Journal, 1998
Asthma treatment has moved from bronchodilator therapy to an emphasis on anti-inflammatory therapy. Airway inflammation is believed to induce airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) through the release of mediators that increase the airway response to agonists.

Inflammation and Airway Reactivity

Experimental Lung Research, 1984
Sir John Floyer's preface to the Treatise of the Asthma, published in 1698, began as follows: Since the cure of the asthma is observed by all physicians, who have attempted the eradicating that chronical distemper, to be very difficult, and frequently unsuccessful: I may thence infer, that either the true nature of that disease is not thoroughly ...

LncRNA NEAT1 promotes epithelial–mesenchymal transition in nasal polyp cells via the miR-199-3p/PAK4 axis

Frontiers in Immunology
Background and purposeChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a persistent inflammatory condition marked by high recurrence and limited therapeutic efficacy.
