Most people who abuse alcohol are cigarette smokers. Previously, we have shown that malondialdehyde, an inflammation product of lipid peroxidation, and acetaldehyde, a component of both ethanol metabolism and cigarette smoke, form protein adducts tha

Little is known about the effect of moderate alcohol intake on lung function in the general population. Because moderate alcohol intake appears to reduce cardiovascular disease risk, we hypothesized that moderate alcohol intake is associated with bet

Radiation exposure is known to impair healing in irradiated areas. Fibroblasts play a major role in the production and modification of extracellular matrix in wound repair. Since one important aspect of wound repair is the contraction of the wound, t

Ethanol exposure in airway epithelium increases cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKA) activity. Activation of PKA and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP)-dependent protein kinase (PKG) has been shown to increase ciliary beat frequency (C

Agricultural work is associated with high rates of injury, disability, and illness. Agricultural workers are at increased risk for a variety of illnesses including respiratory disorders, dermatologic conditions, and cancer. The recognition of organic

Relaxin is an insulin-like serum protein secreted during pregnancy and found in many tissues, including the lung. Relaxin is reported to stimulate epithelial cell proliferation, but the effects of relaxin on airway epithelium are unknown. We tested t

Fibroblasts are the major source of extracellular connective tissue matrix, and the recruitment, accumulation, and stimulation of these cells are thought to play important roles in both normal healing and the development of fibrosis. Prostaglandin E2

Proteolytic degradation of extracellular matrix is thought to play an important role both in emphysema and in tissue development and repair. Retinoic acid has been suggested to modify tissue injury, and in an animal model of emphysema may induce alve

Bradykinin is a multifunctional mediator of inflammation believed to have a role in asthma, a disorder associated with remodeling of extracellular connective tissue. Using contraction of collagen gels as an in vitro model of wound contraction, we ass

Contraction of type I collagen gels is an in vitro model of tissue remodeling. In addition to fibroblasts, some epithelial cells can mediate this process. We therefore hypothesized that alveolar epithelial cells might contract extracellular matrices
