Airway remodeling decreases lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Extracellular matrix (ECM) deposition is increased in remodeled airways and drives cellular processes of proliferation, migration, and inflammation. We investigated the role of cigarette smoke in altering the ECM deposited from human lung fibroblasts. Lung fibroblasts isolated from patients with COPD or other lung disease were exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) and 5 ng/ml transforming growth factor… 
Effects of cigarette smoke extract on human airway smooth muscle cells in COPD
TLDR
ASM cells from smokers with COPD were more sensitive to CSE stimulation, which may explain, in part, why some smokers develop COPD.
Effects Of Cigarette Smoke Extract On Human Airway Smooth Muscle Cell From COPD
TLDR
ASM cells from smokers with COPD were more sensitive to CSE stimulation, which may explain, in part, why some smokers develop COPD.
Exposure to Biomass Smoke Extract Enhances Fibronectin Release from Fibroblasts
TLDR
It is demonstrated that BME had similar effects to CSE in vitro and had the capacity to directly induce fibrosis by upregulating production of ECM proteins.
BET proteins are associated with the induction of small airway fibrosis in COPD
TLDR
COPD ASM show significantly higher COL15A1 and TNC expression in vitro and the same trend for higher levels of collagen 15α1 and tenascin-c deposited in COPD airways in vivo, and BET protein binding to acetylated histones is important in TGF-β1 induced expression of COL15a1 andTNC and maintenance of T GF- β1 induced histone H4 acetylation in cell progeny.
Wood Smoke Extract Promotes Extracellular Matrix Remodeling in Normal Human Lung Fibroblasts
TLDR
It is suggested that WSE affects the ECM remodeling in NHLFs and indicate the potential involvement of PAHs in this process.
Regulation of Cellular Senescence Is Independent from Profibrotic Fibroblast-Deposited ECM
TLDR
ECM deposited by IPF fibroblasts does not induce cellular senescence, while there is upregulation of proinflammatory and profibrotic cytokines and differentiation into a myofibroblast phenotype in response to senescent- and profIBrotic-derived ECM, which may contribute to progression of fibrosis in IPF.
Heparin-binding epidermal growth factor contributes to COPD disease severity by modulating airway fibrosis and pulmonary epithelial–mesenchymal transition
TLDR
It is found that sputum HB-EGF expression was significantly increased in patients with COPD compared with non-smokers and smokers without COPD, and the current data may provide insight into the underlying pathogenesis of COPD.
Defective alterations in the collagen network to prostacyclin in COPD lung fibroblasts
TLDR
Iloprost reduced collagen I synthesis and fibroblast contractility but did not affect the collagen-associated proteoglycans or proliferation rate in fibroblasts from COPD patients, which could lead to improper collagen network fibrillogenesis and a more emphysematous lung structure in severe COPd patients.
Aclidinium inhibits cigarette smoke-induced lung fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition
TLDR
A non-neuronal cholinergic system is implicated in cigarette smoke-induced bronchial fibroblast-to-myofibroblast transition, which is inhibited by aclidinium bromide.
Fibulin1C peptide induces cell attachment and extracellular matrix deposition in lung fibroblasts
TLDR
The bioactive region/s of fibulin-1C which promotes fibrosis is identified and a useful tool for future studies is described to reveal the mechanisms underlying the pathphysiology of chronic lung diseases.

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.
Cigarette smoke inhibits lung fibroblast proliferation and chemotaxis.
TLDR
Cigarette smoke-induced inhibition of fibroblast proliferation and migration may impair lung repair following lung injury, and may thus contribute to the development of pulmonary emphysema.
Extracellular Regulated Kinase/Mitogen Activated Protein Kinase Is Up-regulated in Pulmonary Emphysema and Mediates Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 Induction by Cigarette Smoke*
TLDR
The identification of active ERK in the lungs of emphysema patients and the finding that induction of MMP-1 by cigarette smoke in pulmonary epithelial cells is ERK-dependent reveal a molecular mechanism and potential therapeutic target for excessive matrix remodeling in smokers who develop emphySEma.
Airway fibroblasts exhibit a synthetic phenotype in severe asthma.
Increased activation of p38 MAPK in COPD
TLDR
The present findings suggest that the phosphorylated, active form of p38 MAPK (phospho-p38) may be a suitable pharmacological target for therapeutic intervention in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Cigarette smoking, emphysema, and damage to alpha 1-proteinase inhibitor.
TLDR
Almost two decades of research on mechanistic studies of damage to alpha 1-PI by cigarette smoke and phagocytic cells in vitro are reviewed, studies emphasizing the importance of elastinolytic activity in the pathogenesis of emphysema in vivo and studies of human lung lavage fluid to detect defects in alpha 2-PI at the molecular and functional levels are reviewed.
Changes in elastin, elastin binding protein and versican in alveoli in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
TLDR
Patients with mild to moderate COPD show progressively increased immuno-staining for versican and correspondingly decreased Immuno-Staining for EBP, with decreasing values of FEV1, which may explain the lack of repair of elastic fibers in the lungs of patients withmoderate COPD.
Airway mucosal inflammation in COPD is similar in smokers and ex-smokers: a pooled analysis
TLDR
It is concluded that, in established chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the bronchial mucosal inflammatory cell infiltrate is similar in ex-smokers and those that continue to smoke.
