The mitogenic effect of testosterone and 17 beta-estradiol on airway smooth muscle cells
(2011)
Airway disease distribution and/or severity exhibit sex differences suggesting that sex hormones are involved in the respiratory system physiology and pathophysiology. The implication of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) ...
VEGF increases the permeability of sheep pleura ex vivo through VEGFR2 stimulation
(2014)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), a cytokine that increases vascular permeability to water and proteins and induces angiogenesis, has been implicated in the development of pleural effusions. Inflammatory and ...
Insulin NO-dependent action on airways smooth muscles
(2001)
In order to find out how insulin acts on airway smooth muscle and which mechanisms could be involved, we studied the effect of insulin on contraction induced, first, by KCI and, second, by Acetylcholine (Ach), before and ...
The flavonoid quercetin induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) and inhibits cell proliferation by depleting intracellular iron
(2007)
Quercetin, a flavonoid with anti- oxidant, metal chelating, kinase modulating and anti- proliferative properties, can induce hypoxia- inducible factor-1 alpha (HIF-1 alpha) in normoxia, but its mechanism of action has not ...
Cobalt induces hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in airway smooth muscle cells by a reactive oxygen species- and PI3K-dependent mechanism
(2004)
Cobalt can mimic hypoxia and has been implicated as a cause of lung defects. However, the effect of cobalt on airway smooth muscle (ASM) cells has not been analyzed in detail. In this article, we use primary cultures of ...
