Journal ArticleDOI

GM-CSF expression in pulmonary epithelial cells is regulated negatively by posttranscriptional mechanisms.

TL;DR: The data suggest the existence of inhibitory pathways that posttranscriptionally regulate GM-CSF expression via new protein synthesis and D609- and PDTC-sensitive steps, which may have important clinical implications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-leukotrienes: here to stay?

TL;DR: In clinical practice, anti-leukotrienes have not proved to be very useful, and they are less cost-effective than other treatments, so will remain as a weak second-line therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Desensitization of the histamine H1-receptor and transcriptional down-regulation of histamine H1-receptor gene expression in bovine tracheal smooth muscle

TL;DR: A PKC‐mediated desensitization of the histamine H1‐receptor in BTSM and a transcriptional down‐regulation of the Histamines H1-receptor gene expression, which requires new protein synthesis, are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of the novel phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor MEM 1414 on the allergen induced responses in mild asthma

TL;DR: Oral MEM 1414, a novel PDE4 inhibitor, significantly reduces the late response following inhaled allergen challenge and was associated with a typical adverse event profile of PDE 4 inhibitors, namely nausea and vomiting although these were mild side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of maturation on histamine-induced airflow obstruction and airway microvascular leakage in guinea pig airways

TL;DR: Results suggest that i.v. histamine specifically causes a greater degree of airway microvascular leakage in peripheral airways but induces less smooth muscle contraction in the airways of immature guinea pigs than in theAirways of adult animals.
