Bi-directional interactions between airway smooth muscle (ASM) and the altered extracellular matrix (ECM) may influence airway wall remodelling and ASM function in asthma. We have investigated the capacity of cultured human ASM to reorganise the stru

Background and purpose: Airway wall remodelling in asthma is characterised by a number of structural changes, including an increase in the volume of airway smooth muscle (ASM), and the abundance of the extracellular matrix (ECM) protein, collagen, is

Subepithelial fibrosis is one of the characteristic features of asthmatic airways. The fibrotic response includes an increase in volume occupied by extracellular matrix (ECM) tissue, and a change in the ECM composition favouring wound type collagens,

There is considerable interest in the role of peroxisome proliferator activated receptors (PPARs) as ligand-activated transcription factors in the airways. This study examines the effects of a potent synthetic PPARgamma ligand, rosiglitazone (RG), in

Altered rates of cell proliferation play important roles in the pathogenesis of a variety of conditions, including cancer, inflammation and several airway and cardiovascular diseases. One of the most consistently observed changes in asthmatic airways

Increased airway smooth muscle (ASM) mass is perhaps the most important component of the airway wall remodeling process in asthma. Known mediators of ASM proliferation in cell culture models fall into 2 categories: those that activate receptors with

Airway smooth muscle proliferation has been the focus of considerable attention, as it is a quantitatively important component of the airway wall remodeling response in asthma and has been suggested as a suitable target for the development of novel a

The influence of two peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) ligands, a thiazolidinedione, rosiglitazone (RG) and the prostaglandin D2 metabolite 15-deoxy-Delta(12,14)-prostaglandin J2 (15d-PGJ2) on the proliferation of human cul

1. The proliferation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) and collagen deposition are major contributors to airway remodelling in asthma that may be an important component of airway hyperresponsiveness. The ratio of collagen to laminin in asthma is increase

Glucocorticoids (GCS) inhibit mitogenesis of airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells grown on plastic. We have now evaluated the effects of GCS on proliferation of ASM grown on extracellular matrix proteins (ECM) abundant in noninflamed airways (laminin) an
