Increased immunoreactivity of stromal cell-derived factor‐1 and angiogenesis in asthma

Abstract: Stromal cell-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) acts as a chemoattractant for leukocytes and can induce neovascularisation. To examine the role of SDF-1 in the development of angiogenesis, immunohistochemical studies were performed on bronchial biopsy specimens from asthmatic and control subjects.Bronchial biopsy specimens were obtained from 13 asthmatic and eight control subjects. The number of vessels and the percentage area they occupied were estimated after staining for type-IV collagen. In addition the number of SD… Show more

“…Furthermore, in lung-targeted transgenic mice, selective overexpression of VEGF induced an asthma-like phenotype with vascular remodelling (angiogenesis, hyperpermeability, oedema formation) [143] and extravascular remodelling (mucus metaplasia, myocyte hyperplasia, airway hyperresponsiveness) in the airways [144]. In addition, tumour necrosis factor-a, transforming growth factor-a, interleukin-8 [145], matrix remodelling proteases [146], stromal cell-derived factor-1 [140], basic fibroblast growth factor [147], and angiogenin [16] have all been proposed to have some role in angiogenesis and microvascular remodelling in asthma.…”

“…Another report on allergic mice demonstrated that treatment with CXCR4 antagonist AMD3100 reduced airway hyperreactivity, peribronchial eosinophilia, and inflammatory responses [101]. Hoshino et al reported an increased immunoreactivity of CXCL12 in bronchial biopsies of subjects with asthma and suggested that positive cells could play a role in airway remodeling via angiogenesis [102]. In human asthma, there is a report that establishes a direct relationship between CXCL12 expression and cellular mobilization into the airways (Negrete-Garcia, MC, et al Chest in press).…”

“…Cultured human and murine fibrocytes express the receptor for CXCL12 (also known as stromal cell-derived factor-1) [35], a cytokine produced by bronchial epithelial cells and potentially involved in the promotion of airway inflammation in asthma [70,71]. CXCL12 induces a migratory response in bone marrow-derived progenitors and inflammatory cells by aptotaxis, after binding to ECM components such as fibronectin and proteoglycans [72][73][74][75].…”
