Journal ArticleDOI
Deficiency of tenascin C attenuates allergen-induced bronchial asthma in the mouse.
Hiroki Nakahara,Esteban C. Gabazza,Hajime Fujimoto,Yoichi Nishii,Corina N. D’Alessandro-Gabazza,Nelson E. Bruno,Takehiro Takagi,Tatsuya Hayashi,Junko Maruyama,Kazuo Maruyama,Kyoko Imanaka-Yoshida,Koji Suzuki,Toshimichi Yoshida,Yukihiko Adachi,Osamu Taguchi +14 more
TL;DR: In vitro experiments disclosed that TN‐C significantly stimulates the secretion of IL‐5, IL‐13, IFN‐γ and immunoglobulin‐E from spleen lymphocytes, suggesting thatTN‐C is involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decreased expression of aquaporin-5 in bleomycin-induced lung fibrosis in the mouse.
Esteban C. Gabazza,Michael Kasper,Kotsuke Ohta,Michael P. Keane,Corina N. D’Alessandro-Gabazza,Hajime Fujimoto,Yoichi Nishii,Hiroki Nakahara,Takehiro Takagi,Anil G. Menon,Yukihiko Adachi,Koji Suzuki,Osamu Taguchi +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown, for the first time, that chronic lung injury and lung fibrosis is associated with decreased protein and mRNA expression of aquaporin‐5 in the lung.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Staphylococcus pro-apoptotic peptide induces acute exacerbation of pulmonary fibrosis.

D’Alessandro-Gabazza,Tetsu Kobayashi,Taro Yasuma,Masaaki Toda,Heejin Kim,Hajime Fujimoto,Osamu Hataji,Atsuro Takeshita,Kota Nishihama,Tomohito Okano,Yuko Okano,Yoichi Nishii,Atsushi Tomaru,Kentaro Fujiwara,Valeria Fridman D’Alessandro,Ahmed M.

Gabazza,Esteban C. Gabazza +35 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that bacteria shedding corisin are involved in acute exacerbation of IPF, yielding insights to the molecular basis for the elevation of staphylococci in pulmonary fibrosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased circulating levels of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor in lung cancer patients.
Osamu Hataji,Osamu Taguchi,Esteban C. Gabazza,Hisamichi Yuda,Corina N. D’Alessandro-Gabazza,Hajime Fujimoto,Yoichi Nishii,Tatsuya Hayashi,Koji Suzuki,Yukihiko Adachi +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that thrombin‐activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, in part secreted from lung cancer cells, may play a role in the pathogenesis of thrombotic disorders in lung cancer patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thrombin-Activatable Fibrinolysis Inhibitor Deficiency Attenuates Bleomycin-Induced Lung Fibrosis
Hajime Fujimoto,Esteban C. Gabazza,Osamu Taguchi,Yoichi Nishii,Hiroki Nakahara,Nelson E. Bruno,Corina N. D’Alessandro-Gabazza,Michael Kasper,Yutaka Yano,Mariko Nagashima,John Morser,George J. Broze,Koji Suzuki,Yukihiko Adachi +13 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that the anti-fibrinolytic activity of TAFI promotes lung fibrosis by hindering the rate at which fibrin is degraded.
