PDCD5 Contributes to Airway Epithelial Cell Damage via Mitochondrial Pathway and Participates in COPD Pathogenesis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airway epithelial injury plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in this injury, while the underlying mechanism remains incompletely understood. RNA sequencing was conducted to identify key genes involved in mitochondrial dysfunction in airway epithelial

LncRNA NORAD Enhances Inflammatory Injury in Sepsis‐Associated Acute Lung Damage Through miR‐150‐5p/STAT1‐Dependent NF‐κB Activation

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Acute lung injury (ALI) is a severe complication of sepsis, yet the role of lncRNA NORAD in its pathogenesis remains unclear. Using LPS‐stimulated BEAS‐2B and HBEC3‐KT cells as well as cecal ligation and puncture (CLP)‐induced ALI models in C57BL/6 mice, we found that NORAD expression was markedly upregulated and promoted cell injury ...

Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid characteristics in acute and chronic lung transplant rejection

, 2004
BACKGROUND: The detection of graft rejection by bronchoalveolar lavage remains controversial. METHODS: To assess the value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in acute and chronic rejection after lung transplantation we analyzed bronchoalveolar lavage fluid ...

Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells‐2 Regulates Innate Lymphoid Cell Levels in Bleomycin‐Induced Pulmonary Fibrosis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, a pathological change causing poor outcomes, is not reversible despite current antifibrotic therapy. Emerging evidence suggests that innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) mediate lung inflammation and fibrosis after stimulation by endogenous factors.

Andrographolide Modulates Fibrogenic and Oxidative Stress Responses in Human Lung Fibroblasts

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive lung disorder characterized by fibroblast activation and excessive extracellular matrix deposition. Andrographolide (ANDRO) has been reported to attenuate pulmonary fibrosis, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood.

Ginsenoside Rg1 Ameliorates LPS‐Induced Sepsis‐Associated Lung Injury in Mice via VEGFC/D‐VEGFR3 Signaling‐Mediated Lymphangiogenesis and Lymphatic Remodeling

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sepsis‐induced acute lung injury (ALI) remains challenging to treat, with conventional anti‐inflammatory therapies offering limited efficacy. The lymphatic system is crucial for removing edema and inflammatory mediators, and its impairment can exacerbate lung injury.

The Airway Epithelial Barrier in Childhood Asthma: A Central Player in Glucocorticoid Therapy, Resistance, and Severe Asthma

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Childhood asthma remains a global public health challenge with suboptimal control, despite the availability of inhaled corticosteroids (ICS) as first‐line therapy. Glucocorticoids suppress inflammation and protect the airway epithelial barrier (AEB) via genomic and nongenomic pathways.
