Background and purpose: The glycosaminoglycan heparin has anti-inflammatory activity and is exclusively found in mast cells, which are localized within airway smooth muscle (ASM) bundles of asthmatic airways. Interleukin (IL)-13 induces the productio

Asthmatic airways have an increased number and size of vascular structures, which contribute to airflow obstruction and hyperresponsiveness.We examined whether proangiogenic mediators are elevated in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from subjects

Airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is associated with airway wall structural remodeling and alterations in airway smooth muscle (ASM) function. Previously, in bronchioles from Brown Norway rats challenged by repeated ovalbumin (OVA) inhalation, we have

Accumulation of airway smooth muscle (ASM) and its infiltration by mast cells are key pathological features of airway remodelling in asthma. Heparin, a major component of mast cell granules, inhibits ASM proliferation by an unknown mechanism. Here, u

Altered airway smooth muscle (ASM) function and enrichment of the extracellular matrix (ECM) with interstitial collagen and fibronectin are major pathological features of airway remodeling in asthma. We have previously shown that these ECM components

The observation that the length-force relationship in airway smooth muscle can be shifted along the length axis by accommodating the muscle at different lengths has stimulated great interest. In light of the recent understanding of the dynamic nature

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

General agreement exists that in asthma, airway smooth muscle contracts, narrowing the airway lumen and thereby causing airflow obstruction and dyspnoea. New evidence is emerging that airway smooth muscle may also fulfil an immunomodulatory role by p

Repeated ovalbumin (OA) or saline exposure of sensitized Brown Norway rats was examined on agonist reactivity, airway smooth muscle (ASM) content, and contractile protein expression in small bronchioles at 24 h, 7 days, and 35 days after challenge. O
