BackgroundAirway smooth muscle (ASM) cells are fundamental to asthma pathogenesis, influencing bronchoconstriction, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodelling. The extracellular matrix (ECM) can influence tissue remodelling pathways; however,

Most studies of terrestrial litter decomposition in streams and rivers have used leaves from a single tree species, but leaf packs in streams in eastern North America are usually mixtures of two or more species. Litter mixtures may decay more quickly

Protease-activated receptor 2 (PAR2) is a trypsin-activated member of a family of G-protein-coupled PARs. We have identified a polymorphic form of human PAR2 (PAR(2)F240S) characterized by a phenylalanine to serine mutation at residue 240 within extr

SUMMARYTryptase, the major product of human mast cell activation, is a potent stimulus of vascular leakage and neutrophil accumulation in vivo in animal studies, but the mechanisms of action remain unclear. Using HUVEC cultures we have sought to inve

The effect of beta 2-adrenoceptor agonists and interleukin-4 (IL-4) on the CD23 expression on, and release from, the human promonocytic cell line, U 937, was investigated. As assessed by flow cytometry, incubation of U 937 cells in the presence of sa

Human CD23 (low affinity receptor for IgE) has been expressed in insect cells (Sf9) using the baculovirus expression system and the baculovirus transfer vector pAc373. Insect cells infected with a recombinant baculovirus coding for CD23 synthesized a
Alternate mRNA splicing in multiple human tryptase genes is predicted to regulate tetramer formation

Tryptases are serine proteases that are thought to be uniquely and proteolytically active as tetramers. Crystallographic studies reveal that the active tetramer is a flat ring structure composed of four monomers, with their active sites arranged arou

Airway remodeling with smooth muscle cell (SMC) hyperplasia is a feature of chronic asthma. We investigated the potential for tryptase, the major secretory product of human mast cells, to act as a growth factor for human airway SMCs. Because this ser
