Giant Multinucleated Cells Are Associated with Mastocytic Inflammatory Signature Equine Asthma
Equine asthma is currently diagnosed by the presence of increased neutrophil (>5%), mast cell (>2%), and/or eosinophil (>1%) differential cell count. Macrophages are normal resident cells within the alveoli.

CHI3L1 polymorphisms, cord blood YKL-40 levels and later asthma development [PDF]
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in chitinase 3-like 1 (CHI3L1), the gene encoding YKL-40, and increased serum YKL-40 levels are associated with severe forms of asthma. It has never been addressed whether SNPs in CHI3L1 and cord blood YKL-40 levels

EGF-induced bronchial epithelial cells drive neutrophil chemotactic and anti-apoptotic activity in asthma [PDF]
Chronic damage and repair of the bronchial epithelium are features of asthma. We have previously reported that ex vivo stimulation of normal bronchial epithelial cells with epidermal growth factor (EGF), a key factor of epithelial repair, enhances the ...

Severe asthma is associated with a remodeling of the pulmonary arteries in horses.
Pulmonary hypertension and cor pulmonale are complications of severe equine asthma, as a consequence of pulmonary hypoxic vasoconstriction. However, as pulmonary hypertension is only partially reversible by oxygen administration, other etiological ...
