RECONSTRUCTED, DIFFERENTIATED AIRWAY EPITHELIAL CULTURES TO DETECT OCCUPATIONAL ASTHMA CAUSING AGENTS.

Normal human tracheal-bronchial epithelial cells (NHBE) have been cultured using serum free medium to form a three dimensional tissue-like structure that closely resembles the epithelial tissue of the respiratory tract. Histological cross-sections of both the in vitro tissue and a... Read More

HISTAMINE MAY INDUCE AIRWAY REMODELING THROUGH RELEASE OF EPIDERMAL GROWTH FACTOR RECEPTOR LIGANDS FROM BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL CELLS

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease that is associated with airway remodeling, including hyperplasia of airway epithelial cells and airway smooth muscle cells, and goblet cell differentiation. We wished to address the potential role of histamine, a key biogenic amine... Read More

APPLICATION OF ORGANOTYPIC IN VITRO HUMAN CELL CULTURE MODELS FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT OF INHALATION PHARMACEUTICAL FORMULATIONS TARGETING THE PROXIMAL AIRWAYS.

Delivery of pharmaceuticals via inhalation is a potentially useful alternative to intravenous injection for drugs that are unstable or poorly absorbed after oral administration; for chronic disease conditions that require frequent administration: or therapeutics for which the airways are the...

CIGARETTE SMOKE ALTERS TISSUE INHIBITOR OF METALLOPROTEINASE 1 AND MATRIX METALLOPROTEINASE 9 LEVELS IN THE BASOLATERAL SECRETIONS OF HUMAN ASTHMATIC BRONCHIAL EPITHELIUM IN VITRO.

Background: Asthma, a major cause of chronic lung disease worldwide, has increased in prevalence in all age and ethnic groups, particularly in urban areas where cigarette smoking is common. Cigarette smoke (CS) significantly impacts the development of asthma and is... Read More

TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR ALPHA (TNFα) INDUCTION OF THYMUS AND ACTIVATION REGULATED CHEMOKINE (TARC) EXPRESSION IS MEDIATED BY 15-LIPOXYGENASE 15-(LOX)-2 IN THE EPIAIRWAY™ HUMAN TRACHEAL/BRONCHIAL EPITHELIAL MODEL.

RATIONALE: T-Helper 2-type (TH2) T cells play a predominant role in human airway inflammation and asthma. TARC, a specific chemoattractant for TH2 cells, is induced by TNFα treatment of human airway cells, however, the cellular pathways involved in mediating TARC... Read More
