Role of inflammatory cells in airway remodeling in COPD [PDF]

, 2018
COPD is characterized by chronic bronchitis, chronic airway obstruction, and emphysema, leading to a progressive and irreversible decline in lung function. Inflammation is central for the development of COPD.

The potential of efferocytosis for the treatment of bronchial asthma: A review of current trends, mechanisms and prospects

Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports
As a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs, bronchial asthma is closely associated with three key characteristics: airway inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway remodeling.

Expression of ICAM-1 on human bronchial epithelial cells after influenza virus infection

Allergology International, 1996
Damage of bronchial epithelium is a feature of airway viral infection and airway inflammatory disease, such as bronchial asthma. Adhesion molecules, which are expressed on bronchial epithelium, play an important role in the pathogenesis of epithelial ...

Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor alpha (PPAR alpha) down-regulation in cystic fibrosis lymphocytes

, 2006
Background: PPARs exhibit anti-inflammatory capacities and are potential modulators of the inflammatory response. We hypothesized that their expression and/or function may be altered in cystic fibrosis (CF), a disorder characterized by an excessive host ...

Differential inflammatory response to Helicobacter pylori infection: etiology and clinical outcomes

, 2015
The bacterial pathogen Helicobacter pylori commonly colonizes the human gastric mucosa during early childhood and persists throughout life. The organism has evolved multiple mechanisms for evading clearance by the immune system and, despite inducing ...

Nanotechnology-Based Therapeutics for Airway Inflammatory Diseases

Clinical Reviews in Allergy & Immunology
Abstract Under the concept of “one airway, one disease”, upper and lower airway inflammatory diseases share similar pathogenic mechanisms and are collectively referred to as airway inflammatory diseases. With industrial development and environmental changes, the incidence of these diseases has gradually increased.

Age-dependent differences in the pathogenesis of bovine respiratory syncytial virus infections related to the development of natural immunocompetence

, 2010
The severity of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections appears to differ with age in both humans and bovines. A primary RSV infection in naïve infants and in young calves runs a more severe course when they are 1–6 months old than in their first ...

Differential regulation of interleukin-17 and interferon-y production in inflammatory bowel disease

, 2010
PhDBackground and Aims. Interleukin (IL)-17 is now known to be involved in a number of chronic inflammatory disorders. However, the mechanisms regulating its production in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are still unclear. Methods.
