Weigand L, Kwong K, Myers A
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 2015 Feb; 53(4):443-9. PMID: 25647301
In autonomic ganglia, acetylcholine (ACh) is released from preganglionic nerve terminals and binds to nicotinic ACh receptors (nAChRs) on postganglionic neurons, resulting in a brief, short-lived synaptic potential (fast excitatory...

Liu Z, Hu Y, Yu X, Xi J, Fan X, Tse C, et al.
Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol . 2015 Jan; 308(6):G482-8. PMID: 25591867
Transient receptor potential A1 (TRPA1) is a newly defined cationic ion channel, which selectively expresses in primary sensory afferent nerve, and is essential in mediating inflammatory nociception. Our previous study...

Sikka G, Hussmann G, Pandey D, Cao S, Hori D, Park J, et al.
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 2014 Nov; 111(50):17977-82. PMID: 25404319
Melanopsin (opsin4; Opn4), a non-image-forming opsin, has been linked to a number of behavioral responses to light, including circadian photo-entrainment, light suppression of activity in nocturnal animals, and alertness in...

Damarla M, Parniani A, Johnston L, Maredia H, Serebreni L, Hamdan O, et al.
Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol . 2013 Dec; 50(5):932-41. PMID: 24304496
Apoptosis is a key pathologic feature in acute lung injury. Animal studies have demonstrated that pathways regulating apoptosis are necessary in the development of acute lung injury, and that activation...

Oh M, Oh S, Lu J, Lou H, Myers A, Zhu Z, et al.
J Immunol . 2013 Oct; 191(11):5371-82. PMID: 24140646
Chronic debilitating pruritus is a cardinal feature of atopic dermatitis (AD). Little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Antihistamines lack efficacy in treating itch in AD, suggesting the existence of...

Balentova S, Conwell S, Myers A
Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2013 Jul; 189(1):195-202. PMID: 23891709
In most species, including humans, lower airway smooth muscle (ASM) contains nerve terminals from two distinct populations of parasympathetic ganglionic neurons based on neurotransmitter phenotype: cholinergic and non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC),...

Drager L, Yao Q, Hernandez K, Shin M, Bevans-Fonti S, Gay J, et al.
Am J Respir Crit Care Med . 2013 Jan; 188(2):240-8. PMID: 23328524
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea is a risk factor for dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis, which have been attributed to chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH). Intermittent hypoxia inhibits a key enzyme of lipoprotein clearance,...

Yu J, Oh M, Park J, Myers A, Dong C, Zhu Z, et al.
PLoS One . 2012 Aug; 7(7):e39032. PMID: 22848348
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is the initial step of the atopic march: the progression from AD to allergic rhinitis and asthma. There is a close association between skin barrier abnormalities and...

Leggett K, Maylor J, Undem C, Lai N, Lu W, Schweitzer K, et al.
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2012 Jun; 303(4):L343-53. PMID: 22683574
Pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell (PASMC) migration is a key component of the vascular remodeling that occurs during the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension, although the mechanisms governing this phenomenon...

Lieu T, Myers A, Meeker S, Undem B
Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol . 2012 Feb; 302(9):L941-8. PMID: 22345578
We addressed the hypothesis that allergic inflammation in guinea pig airways leads to a phenotypic switch in vagal tracheal cough-causing, low-threshold mechanosensitive Aδ neurons, such that they begin expressing functional...
