The Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Low Concentrations of Carbon Monoxide in Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells
… including asthma. Similar studies implicate human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC) as contributing to CO’s anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines including granulocyte macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF). However, the mechanism related to …

Anti-Inflammatory Effect of Sulfur Dioxide and Sulfite on Cigarette Smoke Exposed Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cells
… of inflammation, vasodilation, and relaxation of smooth muscle. Airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC) are involved in multiple aspects of chronic inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma and COPD, including airflow restriction and release of pro-inflammatory mediators. While the response of HASMC …

Effects of IL-33 on the interaction between HMC-1 cells and human airway smooth muscle cells
… of the disease pathology including; airway remodelling, airways hyperreactivity and airways inflammation. The interaction of mast cells and human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells play an important role in the characteristic pathological processes involved with asthma. The recently …

Rapid Rac GTP-ASE activation in live cells by mechanical stress is independent of Src
… functions of every tissue and organ in a human body. However, it remains unclear how mechanical forces are transduced into biochemical activities and biological responses at the cellular and molecular level. Using the magnetic twisting cytometry technique, we applied local mechanical …

Electronic Cigarette Exposure: Inflammatory and Immunological Implications in Structural Lung Cells and the Potential Public Health Consequences
… exposure in COPD and non-COPD primary human airway smooth muscle cells. In this study we confirmed earlier suspicions on cytotoxicity and provided the first evidence that COPD cells are hyper-responsive to E-cigarettes. In Chapter 5 we provided the first evidence that E-cigarettes have …
