We hypothesized that foreign bodies in airways cause inflammation leading to goblet cell metaplasia. Instilled agarose plugs lodged in the bronchi of pathogen-free rats caused a time-dependent increase in Alcian blue-periodic acid-Schiff staining tha

Goblet cell metaplasia and mucus hypersecretion are important features in the pathogenesis of asthma. The cytokine IL-4 has been shown to play a role in animal models of asthma, where it induces Th2 lymphocyte differentiation and B lymphocyte IgE cla

Goblet-cell hyperplasia is a critical pathological feature in hypersecretory diseases of airways. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown, and no effective therapy exists. Here we show that stimulation of epidermal growth factor receptors (EGF

Recent reports indicate the presence of two carbon monoxide (CO)-inducing enzymes, heme oxygenase (HO)-1 and -2 in airway smooth muscle. Generally HO-2 is considered to be a constitutive enzyme associated with various neuronal structures, whereas HO-

In patients dying from asthma, extensive mucous plugging occurs in the airways, associated with goblet cell hyperplasia. In this study, we examined the hypothesis that platelet-activating factor (PAF) induces goblet cell hyperplasia and mucin gene ex

Neutrophils may play important roles in chronic airway diseases. Pseudomonas is a common pathogen in some chronic airway diseases, and expression of the neutrophil chemoattractant interleukin-8 (IL-8) is induced by Pseudomonas in various cells in vit

We examined the effect of the neutrophil chemoattractants interleukin (IL)-8 and N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine on goblet cell (GC) degranulation in guinea pigs. Chemoattractants caused time-dependent neutrophil recruitment and GC degranulat

We have used a pharmacologic mediator to open intercellular connections in selected vessels to allow liposomes to escape from the blood stream and to extravasate into tissues that have appropriate receptors. We have examined the effects of substance

PTH-related protein (PTHrP), the peptide that is responsible for most cases of hypercalcemia of malignancy, is also produced under normal circumstances by a variety of tissues. Its role and regulation at these sites are not well understood. Recently,
