OBJECTIVES Tissue remodeling often accompanies diseases such as COPD that are caused by or aggravated by tobacco exposure. Inhaled or systemic corticosteroids are frequently used for the treatment of these illnesses, and their beneficial effects are often ascribed to their anti-inflammatory properties. However, their role in tissue remodeling remains unclear. This study was designed to evaluate the role of corticosteroids in matrix expression in vitro. DESIGN We investigated the effects of… 
A phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor inhibits matrix protein deposition in airways in vitro.
Adenosine induces fibronectin expression in lung epithelial cells: implications for airway remodeling.
TLDR
Overall, the observations suggest that adenosine might modulate tissue remodeling by stimulating fibronectin expression in lung epithelial cells through induction of purinergic receptor-mediated signals that target CREB phosphorylation and stimulate fibronECTin gene transcription.
Increased fibronectin expression in lung in the setting of chronic alcohol abuse.
TLDR
Alveolar macrophages from subjects with alcohol abuse demonstrated increased fibronectin mRNA expression, and their ELF also elicited more fibronsectin gene transcription in lung fibroblasts compared with controls, suggesting activation of tissue remodeling that may contribute to the increased susceptibility for the ARDS observed in alcoholism.
Bronchial vascular remodelling in patients with COPD and its relationship with inhaled steroid treatment
TLDR
Bronchial vascular remodelling in patients with COPD is mainly related to morphological changes of the mucosal microvessels rather than to new vessel formation, and may be reduced in patients treated with steroids.
Ethanol stimulates the expression of fibronectin in lung fibroblasts via kinase-dependent signals that activate CREB.
TLDR
Observations suggest that ethanol or ethanol metabolites stimulate lung fibroblasts to produce fibronectin by inducing specific signals transmitted via nAChRs independent of the alpha(7-)subunit, and this might represent a mechanism by which ethanol renders the lung susceptible to acute lung injury.
The effect of asthma therapeutics on signalling and transcriptional regulation of airway smooth muscle function.
The extracellular matrix – the under‐recognized element in lung disease?
TLDR
Emerging data suggest that alterations in the composition, folding or rigidity of ECM proteins may alter the functional responses of cells within their environs, and in so doing change the pathological outcomes.
Opposite effect of fluticasone and salmeterol on fibronectin and tenascin‐C expression in primary human lung fibroblasts
TLDR
Current therapies for asthma and COPD consist of inhaled corticosteroids and long‐acting β2‐agonists (LABA), however, their effect on airway remodelling is not well understood so far.
Epithelial-derived Fibronectin Expression, Signaling, and Function in Intestinal Inflammation*
TLDR
The data show that epithelial-derived FN potentiates cell attachment and wound healing through epithelium-matrix interactions and that FN expression may have important implications for maintaining normal epithelial integrity as well as regulating epithelial response to injury during colitis.
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors are sensors for ethanol in lung fibroblasts.
TLDR
It is suggested that α4 nA ChRs serve as sensors for EtOH-induced oxidant stress in lung fibroblasts, thereby revealing a new mechanism by which EtOH may affect lung cells and tissue remodeling and pointing to nAChRs as potential targets for intervention.

Additive anti-inflammatory effect of formoterol and budesonide on human lung fibroblasts
TLDR
In vitro data support the finding that the combination of budesonide and formoterol in asthma treatment strengthens the beneficial effect of either drug alone.
Nicotine and fibronectin expression in lung fibroblasts: implications for tobacco‐related lung tissue remodeling
TLDR
The data suggest that nicotine induces lung fibroblasts to produce fibronectin by stimulating α7 nAChR‐ dependent signals that regulate the transcription of the fibronECTin gene.
Fluticasone inhibits but does not reverse allergen-induced structural airway changes.
TLDR
It is concluded that concomitant treatment with FP partly inhibits structural airway changes as well as hyperresponsiveness induced by OA exposure, and post hoc treatment fails to reverse established airway remodeling.
Airway subepithelial fibrosis in a murine model of atopic asthma: suppression by dexamethasone or anti-interleukin-5 antibody.
TLDR
The results indicate that development of SEF is associated with eosinophil infiltration into airways, and may occur only when the inflammatory stimulus is allergic in nature.
Effect of combining salmeterol and fluticasone on the progression of airway remodeling.
TLDR
It is concluded that the combination of salmeterol and fluticasone propionate enhances aspects of allergen-induced airway remodeling, but this is not accompanied by changes in airway responsiveness.
Human collagenase (matrix metalloproteinase-1) expression in the lungs of patients with emphysema.
TLDR
The lung is altered in emphysema such that the Type II pneumocyte secretes MMP-1 and the induction of a proteolytic enzyme within the Type 2 pneumocyte suggests that the cells within the lung itself are capable of producing degradative enzymes in this disease process.
Regulation of serum-induced fibronectin expression by protein kinases, cytoskeletal integrity, and CREB.
TLDR
The data suggest that regulation of serum-induced FN expression in fibroblasts is dependent on protein kinases and on cytoskeletal integrity, and that transcription of FN gene transcription is related to increased DNA binding of the transcription factor cAMP response element binding protein.
Effect of chronic antigen and beta 2 agonist exposure on airway remodeling in guinea pigs.
TLDR
The increased in vivo airways responsiveness produced by chronic OA or FEN exposure may be attributable to adventitial thickening and increased in vitro muscle contractility, but the cellular mechanisms underlying these and other airway wall responses are different.
Dose-related effect of inhaled fluticasone on allergen-induced airway changes in rats
TLDR
The dose of inhaled fluticasone propionate required to inhibit allergen-induced structural alterations was higher than to prevent eosinophil influx, and caused systemic side-effects, however, for a similar systemic activity, prednisolone was ineffective in preventing airway remodelling.
