Epithelial cell distribution and abundance in rhesus monkey airways during postnatal lung growth and development.
Lung development is both a pre- and postnatal process. Although many lung diseases have their origins in early childhood, few quantitative data are available on the normal growth and differentiation of both the conducting airways and the airway epithelium during the postnatal period. We examined rhesus monkey lungs from five postnatal ages: 4-6 days and 1, 2, 3, and 6 mo. Airways increase signi...
متن کاملOzone-induced airway epithelial cell death, the neurokinin-1 receptor pathway, and the postnatal developing lung.
Children are uniquely susceptible to ozone because airway and lung growth continue for an extensive period after birth. Early-life exposure of the rhesus monkey to repeated ozone cycles results in region-specific disrupted airway/lung growth, but the mediators and mechanisms are poorly understood. Substance P (SP), neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R); and nuclear receptor Nur77 (NR4A1) are signaling ...
متن کاملLung effects of inhaled corticosteroids in a rhesus monkey model of childhood asthma.
BACKGROUND The risks for infants and young children receiving inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) therapy are largely unknown. Recent clinical studies indicate that ICS therapy in pre-school children with symptoms of asthma result in decreased symptoms without influencing the clinical disease course, but potentially affect postnatal growth and development. The current study employs a primate experimen...
متن کاملFibroblast growth factor-2 during postnatal development of the tracheal basement membrane zone.
Thickening of the basement membrane zone (BMZ) is a characteristic of several airway diseases; however, very little is known about how this process occurs. The purpose of this study was to define development of the BMZ in the trachea of growing rhesus monkeys at 1, 2, 3, and 6 mo of age. We measured immunoreactivity of collagen types I, III, and V to detect structural changes in the developing ...
متن کاملIn vivo immunotherapy of lung cancer using cross-species reactive vascular endothelial growth factor nanobodies
Objective(s): Lung cancer is the main leading cause of cancer death worldwide. Angiogenesis is the main step in proliferation and spreading of tumor cells. Targeting vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an effective approach for inhibition of cancer angiogenesis. Nanobodies (NBs) are a novel class of antibodies derived from the camel. Unique characteristics of Nbs like their small size ...
