Angiogenesis in bronchial asthma

Abstract: Bronchial asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by airflow obstruction that may be reversed spontaneously or in response to treatment. The airway inflammation can lead to structural changes and remodelling consisting of subepithelial layer thickening, airway smooth muscle hyperplasia and angiogenesis. Subepithelial hypervascularity and angiogenesis in the airways are part of the structural airway wall in asthma. Increased vascularity of bronchial mucosa is closely related to the expression of … Show more

“…Inhibition of ERG in human umbilical vein endothelial cells causes loss of cell–cell contact and attenuation of microvessel formation . Angiogenin also appears to play a fundamental, if ill‐defined, role in vascular growth . Amphiregulin is a potent mitogen for several types of cell, including epithelial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells and endothelial cells acting via the EGF receptor .…”

“…Asthma is characterized by reversible airflow obstruction that is initiated by chronic and oftentimes allergic bronchial wall inflammation and bronchial wall remodeling (Pałgan and Bartuzi 2015). CS and air pollution were found to enhance the risk for developing asthma (Ferrante et al 2014) and are thought to trigger acute exacerbations in patients with established asthma (Guarnieri and Balmes 2014;Wang et al 2015).…”

“…Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and remodeling of the extracellular matrix are important processes in COPD and lung cancer development (Houghton 2013). Thickening of the bronchial subepithelial layer and fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation are also involved in COPD and asthma pathogenesis (Al-Muhsen, Johnson, and Hamid 2011;Pałgan and Bartuzi 2015;Salazar and Herrera 2011). Finally, extracellular matrix degradation may contribute to (1) emphysema formation (Salazar and Herrera 2011) and (2) destabilization of atherosclerotic plaques, enhancing risk for cardiovascular complications (Messner and Bernhard 2014).…”
