Neopterin in patients with COPD, asthma, and ACO: association with endothelial and lung functionsRespiratory Research - Tập 25 Số 1

Abstract
Background and objective
Endothelial dysfunction has been widely recognized in chronic airway diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma; however, it remains unclear in asthma-COPD overlap (ACO). Neopterin (NP), a metabolite of guanosine triphosphate, is a n...... hiện toàn bộ
Impaired cell–cell communication and axon guidance because of pulmonary hypoperfusion during postnatal alveolar developmentRespiratory Research - Tập 24 - Trang 1-17 - 2023

Pulmonary hypoperfusion is common in children with congenital heart diseases (CHDs) or pulmonary hypertension (PH) and causes adult pulmonary dysplasia. Systematic reviews have shown that some children with CHDs or PH have mitigated clinical outcomes with COVID-19. Understanding the effects of pulmonary hypoperfusion on postnatal alveolar development may aid in the development of methods to improv...... hiện toàn bộ
Sputum ACE2, TMPRSS2 and FURIN gene expression in severe neutrophilic asthmaRespiratory Research - Tập 22 - Trang 1-10 - 2021

Patients with severe asthma may have a greater risk of dying from COVID-19 disease. Angiotensin converting enzyme-2 (ACE2) and the enzyme proteases, transmembrane protease serine 2 (TMPRSS2) and FURIN, are needed for viral attachment and invasion into host cells. We examined microarray mRNA expression of ACE2, TMPRSS2 and FURIN in sputum, bronchial brushing and bronchial biopsies of the European U...... hiện toàn bộ
Nitric oxide induces MUC5AC mucin in respiratory epithelial cells through PKC and ERK dependent pathwaysRespiratory Research - Tập 8 - Trang 1-12 - 2007

Nitric oxide (NO) is generally increased during inflammatory airway diseases. This increased NO stimulates the secretion of mucin from the goblet cell and submucosal glands but the mechanism is still unknown precisely. In this study, we investigated potential signaling pathways involving protein kinase C (PKC) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in the NO-induced MUC5AC mucin gene and prot...... hiện toàn bộ
Enhanced endogenous bone morphogenetic protein signaling protects against bleomycin induced pulmonary fibrosisRespiratory Research - Tập 16 - Trang 1-10 - 2015

Effective treatments for fibrotic diseases such as idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis are largely lacking. Transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ) plays a central role in the pathophysiology of fibrosis. We hypothesized that bone morphogenetic proteins (BMP), another family within the TGFβ superfamily of growth factors, modulate fibrogenesis driven by TGFβ. We therefore studied the role of endogenous BM...... hiện toàn bộ
Analysis of body mass index, weight loss and progression of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosisRespiratory Research - Tập 21 - Trang 1-11 - 2020

Nintedanib is an approved therapy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Some patients treated with nintedanib experience weight loss. Exploratory data suggest that low body mass index or weight loss are associated with worse outcomes in patients with IPF. We investigated whether BMI at baseline or weight loss over 52 weeks was associated with FVC decline, or influenced the effect of nintedanib,...... hiện toàn bộ
Influenza A virus enhances ciliary activity and mucociliary clearance via TLR3 in airway epitheliumRespiratory Research - Tập 21 - Trang 1-13 - 2020

Viral respiratory tract infections, such as influenza A virus (IAV), are common and life-threatening illnesses worldwide. The mechanisms by which viruses are removed from the respiratory tract are indispensable for airway host defense. Mucociliary clearance is an airway defense mechanism that removes pathogens from the respiratory tract. The coordination and modulation of the ciliary beating of ai...... hiện toàn bộ

High resolution CT and histological findings in idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis: Features and differential diagnosisRespiratory Research - Tập 12 - Trang 1-5 - 2011

Idiopathic pleuroparenchymal fibroelastosis (IPPFE) is a recently described clinical-pathologic entity characterized by pleural and subpleural parenchymal fibrosis, mainly in the upper lobes. As this disease is extremely rare (only 7 cases have been described in the literature to date) poorly defined cases of IPPFE can go unrecognized. The clinical course of disease is progressive and prognosis is...... hiện toàn bộ
