Epithelial Cell-Extracellular Matrix Interactions and Stem Cells in Airway Epithelial Regeneration
Proceedings of the American Thoracic Society, 2008In healthy subjects, the respiratory epithelium forms a continuous lining to the airways and to the environment, and plays a unique role as a barrier against external deleterious agents to protect the airways from the insults. In respiratory diseases such as cystic fibrosis (CF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), chronic bronchitis, or ...

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on epithelial cells and their role in the pathogenesis of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Epithelial cells play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma and COPD through participation in several inflammatory and immune processes.

Tuberculosis (TB) disease is caused by the intracellular pathogen Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb), and currently represents a severe threat to global public health. After M.tb infection, there is a broad spectrum of potential outcomes leading to active pulmonary or extrapulmonary disease, latent TB, or clearance by the host.

The Role of Epithelial Cells as Accessory Cells
1987Mucosal immunity is characterized by poor or absent responses to most orally administered antigens (1,2). Antigens access into gut-associated lymphoid tissues (GALT) is partially inhibited by a mucous coat containing glycoproteins and secretory IgA (3).

Epithelial cells and fibroblasts.
Novartis Foundation symposium, 2001Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by acute and chronic alterations in the cellular composition structure of the airways and alveoli. Much attention has been focused on the increase in inflammatory cells present both within the airway lumen and within the airway wall.

The application of tissue culture techniques to epithelial cells has revolutionized the study of morphologically complex or inaccessible tissues such as endocrine and exocrine glands, renal tubules, airway epithelia and ocular epithelial cells. Epithelial physiologists can now examine cell differentiation and other regulatory processes under precisely ...

The epithelium of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract undergoes constant rapid renewal. This process is an important mechanism of mucosal protection throughout the GI tract because it maintains the functional integrity of the epithelium and is also necessary for the repair of mucosal injury.
