Metabolic re-patterning in COPD airway smooth muscle cells
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) airways are characterised by thickening of airway smooth muscle, partly due to airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) hyperplasia. Metabolic reprogramming involving increased glycolysis and glutamine catabolism supports the biosynthetic and redox balance required for cellular growth. We examined whether COPD ASMCs show a distinct metabolic phenotype that m...
متن کاملp600 Plays Essential Roles in Fetal Development
p600 is a multifunctional protein implicated in cytoskeletal organization, integrin-mediated survival signaling, calcium-calmodulin signaling and the N-end rule pathway of ubiquitin-proteasome-mediated proteolysis. While push, the Drosophila counterpart of p600, is dispensable for development up to adult stage, the role of p600 has not been studied during mouse development. Here we generated p6...
متن کاملAirway epithelial-derived factor relaxes pulmonary vascular smooth muscle.
The factors controlling the pulmonary vascular resistance under physiological conditions are poorly understood. We have previously reported on an apparent cross talk between the airway and adjacent pulmonary arterial bed where a factor likely derived from the bronchial epithelial cells reduced the magnitude of agonist-stimulated force in the vascular smooth muscle. The main purpose of this inve...
متن کاملAirway smooth muscle relaxation.
Bronchodilators are important agents in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive airways disease. Beta agonists, theophyllines, and antimuscarinic agents are the main drugs in current use, but others are under investigation. Although other actions may be important, these drugs produce bronchodilation either by a direct effect on airway smooth muscle or by inhibiting neural pathways. As o...
متن کاملHalothane increases smooth muscle protein phosphatase in airway smooth muscle.
BACKGROUND Halothane relaxes airway smooth muscle, in part, by decreasing the force produced for a given intracellular [Ca(2+)] (i.e., Ca(2+) sensitivity) during muscarinic stimulation, an effect produced by a decrease in regulatory myosin light-chain (rMLC) phosphorylation. The authors tested the hypothesis that halothane reduces rMLC phosphorylation during muscarinic stimulation at constant i...
