TLDR
This study suggests that inhibition of IL-8 and RANTES orIL-8/RANTES-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase/KLF5 signaling is an attractive therapeutic target for areca nut-induced asthma.

Assembly of a Three-Dimensional Multitype Bronchiole Coculture Model Using Magnetic Levitation

TL;DR: This study validates magnetic levitation as a method for the rapid creation of organized 3D cocultures that maintain the phenotype and induce extracellular matrix formation.

YKL-40 induces IL-8 expression from bronchial epithelium via MAPK (JNK and ERK) and NF-κB pathways, causing bronchial smooth muscle proliferation and migration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the mechanisms involved in YKL-40-mediated inflammation in human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) and analyzed the soluble factors secreted by HBECs exposed to the chitinase-like glycoprotein, which were responsible for increasing proliferation and migration of primary normal human Bronchial smooth muscle cells (BSMCs).

Analysis of a Panel of 48 Cytokines in BAL Fluids Specifically Identifies IL-8 Levels as the Only Cytokine that Distinguishes Controlled Asthma from Uncontrolled Asthma, and Correlates Inversely with FEV1

TL;DR: Results identify neutrophils and IL-8 are the only inflammatory components in BAL fluids that distinguish controlled asthma from uncontrolled asthma, and both correlate inversely with FEV1.

YKL-40 induces IL-8 expression from bronchial epithelium via MAPK (JNK, ERK1/2) and NF-κB pathways, causing bronchial smooth muscle proliferation and migration

TL;DR: The findings implicate that YKL-40 may be involved in the inflammation of asthma by induction of IL-8 from epithelium, subsequently contributing to BSMC proliferation and migration.

Airway Structural Alterations Selectively Associated with Severe Asthma

TL;DR: It is concluded that fibroblast accumulation and ASM hypertrophy in proximal airways are selective determinants of severe persistent asthma.

Remodeling in asthma

TL;DR: Airway remodeling encompasses the structural alterations in asthmatic compared with normal airways, and is assumed to result in persistent airflow limitation, a decrease in lung function, and airway hyperresponsiveness.

Krüppel-like transcription factor KLF5 is a key regulator of adipocyte differentiation.

TL;DR: Krüppel-like factor 5 is established as a key component of the transcription factor network controlling adipocyte differentiation, and embryonic fibroblasts obtained from KLF5+/- mice showed much attenuated adipocytes differentiation, confirming the key role played by KLf5 in adipocyte differentiate.

The regulatory role of TGF-β in airway remodeling in asthma

TL;DR: Reduction of TGF‐β production and control of T GF‐β effects would be beneficial in the development of therapeutic intervention for airway remodeling in chronic asthma.
