Enhanced monocyte migration to CXCR3 and CCR5 chemokines in COPD

TL;DR: Both monocytes and lymphocytes cooperate to enhance migration towards CXCR3 chemokines and CCL5, which may contribute to increased numbers of macrophages and T-cells in the lungs of COPD patients, and inhibition of recruitment using selective antagonists might be a treatment to reduce the inflammatory response in COPD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Long-acting fluticasone furoate has a superior pharmacological profile to fluticasone propionate in human respiratory cells☆

TL;DR: FF showed superior effects to FP in peripheral blood mononuclear cells from patients with COPD and also in U937 cells or primary bronchial epithelial cells under conditions of oxidative stress, and has potential clinical implications for the control of inflammation in respiratory diseases, such as COPD.
Journal Article

Nonadrenergic, noncholinergic airway inhibitory nerves

TL;DR: Use of antagonists or inhibitors of putative neurotransmitters, and molecular biological techniques will be useful in defining both the physiological and pathophysiological roles of NANC inhibitory nerves in the airways.
Journal Article

Tachykinin-induced phosphoinositide breakdown in airway smooth muscle and epithelium: relationship to contraction

TL;DR: In airway smooth muscle, it was found that tachykinins elicited phosphoinositide breakdown with an order of potency similar to that for contractile response, and in epithelium, SP alone elicited a significant phosphoinposide breakdown, suggesting that epithelial receptors to tachy Kinins may be of the NK1 subtype.
