In experimental COPD, this occurred through disrupted collagen organization and interactions with fibronectin, periostin, and tenascin-c. Genetic inhibition of Fbln1c also reduced levels of pulmonary inflammatory cells and proinflammatory cytokines/chemokines (TNF-a, IL-33, and CXCL1) in experimental COPD. Fbln1c⌿ mice also had reduced airway remodeling in experimental chronic asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Our data show that Fbln1c may be a therapeutic target in chronic respiratory diseases.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:33:47 AEST ]]> A new short-term mouse model of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies a role for mast cell tryptase in pathogenesis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14158 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:28:43 AEST ]]>
