Bronchial fibroblasts modulate CD4+Tcells phenotype towards Th17 in asthma
Objective/purpose In asthma, CD4+T cells are selectively recruited into the bronchial mucosa. CD4+ T cells consist of different subsets that express lineage specific transcription factors and play different roles either in initiating and supporting the development of immune response, but also in orchestrating and regulating them. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of T cells-bronch...
متن کامل[Bronchial asthma in obesity--a distinct phenotype of asthma?].
Asthma and obesity have a considerable impact on public health and their prevalence has increased in recent years. Numerous large cross-sectional and prospective studies performed in adults, adolescents, and children throughout the world supports the hypothesis that obesity is an independent risk factor for asthma. The pathogenetic basis for asthma and obesity associations in humans is not w...
متن کاملHuman platelet antigen polymorphism in bronchial asthma
Background: Asthma is recognized as a common cause of disability, of great economic cost, and of preventable deaths. In this study we aimed to test our hypothesis to evaluate the relationship between the Human Platelet Antigen-1(HPA-1) polymorphism and bronchial asthma and its severity, which would suggest genetic variances that may be responsible for expression or activation of these receptors...
متن کاملHuman bronchial epithelial cells modulate collagen gel contraction by fibroblasts.
Connective tissue contraction is an important aspect of both normal wound healing and fibrosis. This process may contribute to small airway narrowing associated with certain airway diseases. Fibroblast-mediated contraction of a three-dimensional collagen gel has been considered a model of tissue contraction. In this study, the ability of primary cultured human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEC) ...
متن کاملContribution of bronchial fibroblasts to the antiviral response in asthma.
Human rhinoviruses (HRV) are a major cause of asthma exacerbations and hospitalization. Studies using primary cultures suggest that this may be due to impaired production of type I and type III IFNs by asthmatic bronchial epithelial cells. Although epithelial cells are the main target for HRV infection, HRV can be detected in the subepithelial layer of bronchial mucosa from infected subjects by...
