Expression of endocannabinoid system components in human airway epithelial cells: impact of sex and chronic respiratory disease status
TLDR
The data suggest that cannabis consumers may have differential physiological responses in the respiratory mucosa, and confirm at the protein level that TRPV1, the most differentially expressed candidate in analyses, was upregulated in airway epithelial cells from people with asthma relative to healthy subjects.
Endocannabinoid System in the Airways
TLDR
The contribution of cannabinoids and the endocannabinoid system in the airways are discussed, and the existing data for their therapeutic use in airway diseases are presented.
Impact of Cannabis, Cannabinoids, and Endocannabinoids in the Lungs
TLDR
The existing data on the regulation of lung immunity and inflammation by phytocannabinoid, synthetic cannabinoids and endocannabinoids is presented.
Expression of the endocannabinoid system in the human airway epithelial cells – Impact of sex and chronic respiratory disease status
TLDR
The data suggest that cannabis consumers may have differential physiological responses in the respiratory mucosa, which could impact both acute and chronic effects of cannabis smoke inhalation.
Polarity scaffolds signaling in epithelial cell permeability.
TLDR
The potential effects of endo- and phytocannabinoids on epithelial permeability and how the dysregulation of this system could be involved in diseases and targeted for therapy are discussed.
Untapped Potential: Therapeutically Targeting Eicosanoids and Endocannabinoids in the Lung
TLDR
This review seeks to provide a summary of the major bioactive eicosanoids and endocannabinoids, challenges facing researchers that study them, and their roles in modulating inflammation and resolution.
Human laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma cell line release of endogenous anandamide and 2-arachidonoylglycerol, and their antiproliferative effect via exogenous supplementation: an in vitro study
TLDR
It is shown that the HEp-2 LSCC cell line releases the major endocannabinoids AEA and 2-AG, and that their supplementation inhibits tumor cell proliferation in vitro, suggesting that cannabinoid ligands might represent novel drug candidates for laryngeal cancers, although functional in vivo studies are required in order to validate their potency.
The Role of the Endocannabinoid Signaling System in the Pathophysiology of Asthma and Obesity
TLDR
The wide prevalence of the endocannabinoid signaling system and its regulatory role in the body opens up prospects for therapeutic effects in the treatment of asthma and obesity, as well as the possible phenotype of asthma, combined with obesity.
Elucidating the metabolism of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids and formation of bioactive lipid mediators in human skin
TLDR
The findings suggest that EPA and DHA differently affect skin cells and skin, with EPA preference in epidermis and D HA in the dermis, and the importance of differential skin responses that could be important in skin health and disease is highlighted.

TLDR
Only Δ9-THC demonstrated effects on airway hyper-responsiveness, anti-inflammatory activity, and antitussive activity in the airways.
Activation of cannabinoid receptors prevents antigen-induced asthma-like reaction in guinea pigs
TLDR
It is suggested that targeting cannabinoid receptors could be a novel preventative therapeutic strategy in asthmatic patients and reverted the protective effects of CP, indicating that both CB1 and CB2 receptors are involved in lung protection.

TLDR
Determining the factors that regulate arachidonic acid metabolism in airway epithelial cells is still a fundamental goal for unraveling the role of arachidonate products inAirway function and for altering eicosanoid production in the airway.
Augmentation of permeability in the bronchial epithelium by the house dust mite allergen Der p1.
TLDR
A new functional activity of Der p1 is demonstrated that may be germane to the processes of allergen presentation, inflammatory cell activation, and chronic tissue injury.
Bidirectional control of airway responsiveness by endogenous cannabinoids
TLDR
It is shown that the endogenous cannabinoid anandamide exerts dual effects on bronchial responsiveness in rodents: it strongly inhibits bronchospasm and cough evoked by the chemical irritant, capsaicin, but causes bron chospasm when the constricting tone exerted by the vagus nerve is removed.
Cytokines induce tight junction disassembly in airway cells via an EGFR-dependent MAPK/ERK1/2-pathway
TLDR
In conclusion, cytokine-induced epithelial injury includes TJ disassembly and epithelial barrier permeability alteration and involves the EGFR-dependent MAPK/ERK1/2 signaling pathway.

Molecular characterization of a peripheral receptor for cannabinoids
TLDR
The cloning of a receptor for cannabinoids is reported that is not expressed in the brain but rather in macrophages in the marginal zone of spleen, which helps clarify the non-psychoactive effects of cannabinoids.
