BACKGROUND
Oxidative stress is a modifiable risk-factor in infection causing damage to human cells. As an adaptive response, cells catabolize Tyrosine to 3-Nitrotyrosine (Tyr-NO2) by nitrosylation. We investigated whether a more efficient reduction in oxidative stress, mirrored by a lowering of
The host tolerance mechanisms to avian influenza virus (H5N1) infection that limit tissue injury remain unknown. Emerging evidence indicates that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR), a cAMP-dependent Cl(-) channel, modulates airway inflammation. Janus tyrosine kinase (JAK) 3,
OBJECTIVE
Pneumonitis is a significant toxicity of EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKI) in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients. We studied the incidence of pneumonitis in clinical trials of EGFR-TKI published in 2003-2017, and performed subgroups analyses to identity predisposing
BACKGROUND
Gefitinib, an inhibitor of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase, has been reported to be associated with interstitial lung disorders, and their high incidence and mortality have become a matter of great concern, especially in Japan. In this study, we investigated the
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effect of siRNA-mediated inhibition of lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (Lck) on pulmonary inflammation in a mouse model of asthma.
METHODS
A total of 32 female BABL/c mice were used in the study. The mouse asthma model was established with ovabumin (OVA), and Lck
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is reported as a serious adverse event in lung cancer patients treated with gefitinib, an epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI). However, the mechanisms of ILD associated with gefitinib remain unknown. To address the molecular
BACKGROUND
Burn injury induces immunosuppression and promotes infection with opportunistic pathogens. Pneumonia and sepsis are leading causes of post-burn morbidity and mortality. Fms-like tyrosine kinase-3 ligand (Flt3L) improves local and systemic resistance to P aeruginosa-associated burn wound
Acute interstitial pneumonia is one of serious side effects of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) treatment, while it often has significant clinical benefit in cancer patients. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify underlying mechanisms for the development of the
Pneumonia is a common complication with the highest attributable proportion of deaths in patients with stroke. Cilostazol is a potent type III phosphodiesterase inhibitor, approved as an anti-platelet aggregation agent. The present study was designed to determine the protective mechanism of
BACKGROUND
Radiation recall pneumonitis (RRP) is a special form of radiation pneumonitis precipitated by certain pharmacological agents. Epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (EGFR-TKI) is an effective treatment for advanced nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and has been
The tyrosine kinase c-Abl is required for full activation of T cells, while its role in T-cell differentiation has not been characterized. We report that c-Abl deficiency skews CD4(+) T cells to type 2 helper T cell (Th2) differentiation, and c-Abl(-/-) mice are more susceptible to allergic lung
OBJECTIVE
Asthma is characterized by chronic lung inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. Despite recent advances in understanding of its pathophysiology, asthma remains a major public health problem, and new therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. In this context, we sought to ascertain
Mer receptor tyrosine kinase (Mer) signaling plays a central role in the intrinsic inhibition of the inflammatory response to Toll-like receptor activation. Previously, we found that lung Mer protein expression decreased after lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treatment due to enhanced Mer cleavage. The
