}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.

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.

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

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.
- Medicine, BiologyAmerican journal of physiology. Lung cellular and molecular physiology

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
