Abstract Childhood asthma is a common chronic airway disease, and its severe form remains a challenge. Eupatilin is a bioactive natural flavone that has been found to possess potential anti-asthma activity. However, the roles of eupatilin in asthma remain to be elucidated. In the present study, airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) were applied for the in vitro investigation since their phenotype plasticity make great contribution to airway remodeling during asthma pathogenesis. Our results showed that eupatilin suppressed the transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1)-induced proliferation and migration of ASMCs. Exposure of ASMCs to eupatilin increased the expressions of contractile markers smooth muscle α-actin (α-SMA) and myocardin, whereas expressions of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins type I collagen (Coll I) and fibronectin were reduced. Furthermore, eupatilin treatment reversed the activation of nuclear factor-κ B (NF-κB), signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) and AKT pathways caused by TGF-β1 in ASMCs. These findings suggested that eupatilin might attenuate airway remodeling via regulating phenotype plasticity of ASMCs.

We investigated the chemotactic action of PDGF and urokinase on human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells in culture. Cells were put in collagen-coated transwells with 8-μm perforations, incubated for 4 h with test compounds, then fixed, stained, and counted as migrated nuclei by microscopy. Cells from all culture conditions showed some basal migration (migration in the absence of stimuli during the assay), but cells preincubated for 24 h in 10% FBS or 20 ng/ml PDGF showed higher basal migration than cells quiesced in 1% FBS. PDGFBB, PDGFAA, and PDGFABwere all chemotactic when added during the assay. PDGF chemotaxis was blocked by the phosphatidyl 3′-kinase inhibitor LY-294002, the MEK inhibitor U-0126, PGE2, formoterol, pertussis toxin, and the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632. Urokinase alone had no stimulatory effect on migration of quiescent cells but caused a dose-dependent potentiation of chemotaxis toward PDGF. Urokinase also potentiated the elevated basal migration of cells pretreated in 10% FBS or PDGF. This potentiating effect of urokinase appears to be novel. We conclude that PDGF and similar cytokines may be important factors in airway remodeling by redistribution of smooth muscle cells during inflammation and that urokinase may be important in potentiating the response.

Background: Asthma is a common chronic inflammatory disease of the airway, and airway remodeling and the proliferation mechanism of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) is of great significance to combat this disease.Objective: To assess possible effects of scopoletin on asthma and the potential signaling pathway.Materials and methods: ASMCs were treated PDGF-BB and scopoletin and subjected to cell viability detection by CCK-8 assay. Cell migration of ASMCs was determined by a wound closure assay and transwell assay. The protein level of MMP2, MMP9, calponin and α-SMA were measured using western blot. The levels of NF-κB signaling pathway were detected by Western blotting.Results: Scopoletin inhibited proliferation of PDGF-BB - induced ASMCs. Also it suppressed the migration and invasion of PDGF-BB - induced ASMCs. We further showed that Scopoletin regulated phenotypic transition of ASMCs. Mechanically, Scopoletin inhibited proliferation and invasion of ASMCs by regulating NF-κB signaling pathway.Conclusions: We therefore thought Scopoletin could serve as a promising drug for the treatment of asthma.

Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a potent inflammatory cytokine implicated in the exacerbation of asthma. Chronic exposure to TNF-α has been reported to induce G protein-coupled receptor desensitization, but adenylyl cyclase sensitization, in airway smooth muscle cells by an unknown mechanism. Cyclic AMP, which is synthesized by adenylyl cyclases in response to G protein-coupled receptor signals, is an important second messenger involved in the regulation of the airway muscle proliferation, migration, and tone. In other cell types, TNF-α receptors transactivate the EGF receptor, which activates raf-1 kinase. Further studies in transfected cells show that raf-1 kinase can phosphorylate and activate some isoforms of adenylyl cyclase. Cultured human airway smooth muscle cells were treated with TNF-α in the presence or absence of inhibitors of prostaglandin signaling, protein kinases, or Gi proteins. TNF-α caused a significant dose- (1–10 ng/ml) and time-dependent (24 and 48 h) increase in forskolin-stimulated adenylyl cyclase activity, which was abrogated by pretreatment with GW5074 (a raf-1 kinase inhibitor), was partially inhibited by an EGF receptor inhibitor, but was unaffected by pertussis toxin. TNF-α also increased phosphorylation of Ser338 on raf-1 kinase, indicative of activation. IL-1β and EGF sensitization of adenylyl cyclase activity was also sensitive to raf-1 kinase inhibition by GW5074. Taken together, these studies link two signaling pathways not previously characterized in human airway smooth muscle cells: TNF-α transactivation of the EGF receptor, with subsequent raf-1 kinase-mediated activation of adenylyl cyclase.

In human cultured airway smooth muscle cells, interleukin (IL)-1β increases cyclooxygenase (COX)-2 expression and PGE2 release, ultimately resulting in decreased β-adrenergic responsiveness. In this study, we aimed to determine whether tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) synergizes with IL-1β in the induction of these events. TNF-α alone, at concentrations up to 10 ng/ml, had no effect on COX-2 protein expression; at concentrations as low as 0.1 ng/ml, it significantly enhanced the ability of IL-1β (0.2 ng/ml) to induce COX-2 and to increase PGE2 release. IL-1β and TNF-α in combination also significantly enhanced COX-2 promoter activity, indicating that synergism between the cytokines is mediated at the level of gene transcription. Although IL-1β and TNF-α each increased nuclear factor-κB activation and induced extracellular regulated kinase and p38 phosphorylation, combined administration of the cytokines did not enhance either nuclear factor-κB or mitogen-activated protein kinase activation. Combined administration of IL-1β (0.2 ng/ml) and TNF-α (0.1 or 1.0 ng/ml) reduced the ability of isoproterenol to decrease human airway smooth muscle cell stiffness, as measured by magnetic twisting cytometry, even though individually these cytokines, at these concentrations, had no effect on isoproterenol responses. Treatment with the selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 abolished the synergistic effects of TNF-α and IL-1β on β-adrenergic responsiveness. Our results indicate that low concentrations of IL-1β and TNF-α synergize to promote β-adrenergic hyporesponsiveness and that effects on COX-2 expression and PGE2 are responsible for these events. The data suggest that the simultaneous release in the airway, of even very small amounts of cytokines, can have important functional consequences.
