Airway Remodeling in Asthma

Chest, 2003
Chronic inflammation and remodeling may follow acute inflammation or may begin insidiously as a low-grade smoldering response, especially in the case of immune reactions. The histologic hallmarks of chronic inflammation and remodeling are as follows: (1) infiltration by macrophages and lymphocytes; (2) proliferation of fibroblasts that may take the ...

Mechanisms of Airway Remodeling

Chest, 2013
Airway remodeling comprises the structural changes of airway walls, induced by repeated injury and repair processes. It is characterized by the changes of tissue, cellular, and molecular composition, affecting airway smooth muscle, epithelium, blood vessels, and extracellular matrix.

Airway Remodeling in Asthma

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2002
Airway remodeling is a summary term for the pathological changes that occur in airway structure in allergic or suppurative airway diseases. Characteristic changes of airway remodeling in asthma include goblet cell hyperplasia, deposition of collagens in the basement membrane zone, increased size and number of microvessels in the submucosa, hyperplasia ...

Airway remodeling in asthma

Current Opinion in Pharmacology, 2010
Asthmatic airway remodeling is the pathophysiological modifications of the normal airway wall structure which include changes in the composition and organization of its cellular and molecular constituents. These modifications are the major cause of the symptoms associated with decreased pulmonary function.

Airway remodeling in asthma

Current Opinion in Pulmonary Medicine, 2005
This overview summarizes some the more recent studies of remodeling in patients with asthma, studies using animal models to study the interaction of cell types and mediators, and studies using in vitro models to assess the effects of mitogenic stimuli, including mechanical strain, on mesenchymal cells and extracellular matrix proteins.

Mechanisms of Airway Remodeling

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
The airway smooth muscle cell can contract; relax; participate in allergic and inflammatory responses by expressing adhesion molecules, releasing cytokines, and producing matrix proteins and proteases; and, as has been reported, undergo migration.

Airway vascular remodeling in asthma

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2003
Several characteristic changes occur in the bronchial wall in asthma, including specific changes to the vasculature. These result in an increase in vessel numbers per unit area, as well as increased vessel activity suggested by vasodilatation, vessel leakage, and cellular margination with transmigration to target tissues. This combined action in asthma

Immune induction of airway remodeling

Seminars in Immunology, 2019
Airway remodeling is accepted to be a determining component within the natural history of asthma. It is a phenomenon characterized by changes in the airways structures that marches in parallel with and can be influenced by airway inflammation, floating at the interface between both natural and adaptive immunity and physical and mechanical cells ...

Mechanical Stimuli to Airway Remodeling

American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
The airway is exposed to a variety of mechanical stimuli, the most prominent of which is the acute compressive stress caused by bronchoconstriction. The folding of the airway wall into a rosette pattern during bronchoconstriction creates a complex stress field, with the highest stresses compressing the epithelial layer at the inner surface of the ...

Fibrosis and airway remodelling

Clinical & Experimental Allergy, 2000
The term ‘airway remodelling’ is now widely used to refer to the development of specific structural changes in the airway wall in asthma. Particular interest has focused on subepithelial fibrosis, myofibroblast accumulation, airway smooth muscle hyperplasia and hypertrophy, mucous gland and goblet cell hyperplasia, and epithelial disruption.
