The role of adenosine A2A receptor signaling in bronchiolitis obliterans.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Binding of adenosine to the anti-inflammatory Gs-coupled adenosine 2A receptor (A(2A)R) inhibits the activity of most inflammatory cells. Extensive preclinical evidence exists for the use of A(2A)R agonists in the prevention of acute ... Read more...

Presence of c-KIT-positive mast cells in obliterative bronchiolitis from diverse causes.

30 Aug 2009 CONTEXT: The mechanism of fibrosis is not clear in patients with obliterative bronchiolitis after a remote injury. Immune-mediated progression may be a reason. c-KIT (CD117)-positive mast cells have been associated with chronic fibrosing diseases ... Read more...

Local C-reactive protein expression in obliterative lesions and the bronchial wall in posttransplant obliterative bronchiolitis.

24 May 2009 The local immunoreactivity of C-reactive protein (CRP) was studied in a heterotopic porcine model of posttranplant obliterative bronchiolitis (OB). Bronchial allografts and control autografts were examined serially 2-28 days after subcutaneous ... Read more...
