Reduced MBD2 expression enhances airway inflammation in bronchial epithelium in COPD
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common inflammatory lung disease characterized by inflammatory cells activation and production of inflammatory mediators. Methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2) plays an important role in diverse immunological disorders by regulating immune cell functions, such as differentiation and mediator secretion. However, the role of MBD2 i...
متن کاملAirway Inflammation in COPD*
Inflammation of the airways has been regarded as a cardinal pathophysiologic feature of asthma for some 20 years. This concept has been based on evidence from a variety of sources: the histologic changes in the airway wall, hyperresponsiveness of the asthmatic airways to a wide range of natural and pharmacologic agents, the presence of activated inflammatory and immune cells and their mediators...
متن کاملKlotho expression is reduced in COPD airway epithelial cells: effects on inflammation and oxidant injury
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is associated with sustained inflammation, excessive injury, and accelerated lung aging. Human Klotho (KL) is an anti-aging protein that protects cells against inflammation and damage. In the present study, we quantified KL expression in the lungs of COPD patients and in an ozone-induced mouse model of COPD, and investigated the mechanisms that contr...
متن کاملEosinophilic airway inflammation in COPD
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a common condition and a major cause of mortality. COPD is characterized by irreversible airflow obstruction. The physiological abnormalities observed in COPD are due to a combination of emphysema and obliteration of the small airways in association with airway inflammation. The predominant cells involved in this inflammatory response are CD8+ lymphocyte...
متن کاملBronchial biopsies and airway inflammation.
Within the last 10 yrs there has been an explosion of interest in the results of biopsy of the airway lining which, whilst invasive, is safe providing it is performed by an experienced bronchoscopist following the published recommendations [1, 2]. The airway mucosa which is sampled comprises surface epithelium and its supportive subepithelial tissue, often referred to as the lamina propria. The...
