Immunity is responsible for the defense mechanism of the body but in case of autoimmune diseases, its role gets diverted. Like so many other diseases, asthma is also considered as one of the most common autoimmune diseases to be occurring in community. Asthma is defined as a chronic inflammatory airway disease that is characterized by airway hyper reactivity and mucus hypersecretion that result...
Because asthmatic patients show increased nerve growth factor (NGF) serum levels, we examined the effect of NGF on airway function. Intravenously administered NGF potentiates the histamine- induced bronchoconstriction with a maximum of over 200% in anesthetized spontaneously breathing guinea pigs. Doses of 8 ng and 80 ng NGF/kg body weight induce a significant hyperresponsiveness to histamine. ...
The mechanisms for the development of bronchiectasis and airway hyperreactivity have not been fully elucidated. Although genetic, acquired diseases and environmental influences may play a role, it is also possible that motile cilia can influence this disease process. We hypothesized that deletion of a key intraflagellar transport molecule, IFT88, in mature mice causes loss of cilia, resulting i...
The airway epithelium is an important barrier between the environment and subepithelial tissues. The epithelium is also divided into functionally restricted apical and basolateral domains, and this restriction is dependent on the elements of the barrier. The protease-activated receptor-2 (PAR2) receptor is expressed in airway epithelium, and its activation initiates multiple effects including e...
To the Editor : The recent article, "Sensitization alters contractile responses and calcium influx in human airway smooth muscle," (J ALLERGY CLIN IMMUNOL 1989 ;440-7) by Black et al .' has further contributed to the hypothesis that some alteration in the regulation of airway smooth muscle calcium may contribute another mechanism to bronchial hyperresponsiveness . The possible role of an abnorm...
Previous studies have demonstrated that chronic mechanical strain produced by continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) reduces in vivo airway reactivity in rabbits and ferrets. For CPAP to potentially have a therapeutic benefit for asthmatic subjects, the reduction in airway responsiveness would need to persist for 12-24 h after its discontinuation, require application for only part of the da...
