Dos Santos T, Righetti R, Rezende B, Campos E, Camargo L, Saraiva-Romanholo B, et al.
Ther Adv Respir Dis . 2020 Dec; 14:1753466620962665. PMID: 33357114
Background And Aims: Expansion and morphological dysregulation of the bronchial vascular network occurs in asthmatic airways. Interleukin (IL) -17 and Rho-kinase (ROCK) are known to act in inflammation control and...

Sci Rep . 2019 Sep; 9(1):12624. PMID: 31477763
To evaluate whether a recombinant serine protease inhibitor (rBmTI-A) modulates inflammation in an experimental model of chronic allergic lung inflammation. Balb/c mice were divided into four groups: SAL (saline), OVA...

Front Physiol . 2018 Sep; 9:1183. PMID: 30233389
Interleukin-17 (IL-17) and Rho-kinase (ROCK) play an important role in regulating the expression of inflammatory mediators, immune cell recruitment, hyper-responsiveness, tissue remodeling, and oxidative stress. Modulation of IL-17 and ROCK...

Biomed Res Int . 2017 May; 2017:8287125. PMID: 28466019
Proteinases play a key role in emphysema. inhibitor (BbCI) is a serine-cysteine proteinase inhibitor. We evaluated BbCI treatment in elastase-induced pulmonary alterations. / mice received intratracheal elastase (ELA group) or...

Aristoteles L, Righetti R, Pinheiro N, Franco R, Starling C, da Silva J, et al.
BMC Pulm Med . 2013 Aug; 13:52. PMID: 23947680
Background: The importance of the lung parenchyma in the pathophysiology of asthma has previously been demonstrated. Considering that nitric oxide synthases (NOS) and arginases compete for the same substrate, it...

Front Pharmacol . 2013 Apr; 4:46. PMID: 23616768
Eosinophils are circulating granulocytes involved in pathogenesis of asthma. A cascade of processes directed by Th2 cytokine producing T-cells influence the recruitment of eosinophils into the lungs. Furthermore, multiple elements...

Respir Physiol Neurobiol . 2012 Sep; 185(2):435-45. PMID: 23009745
Unlabelled: We evaluated the effects of anti-iNOS (1400W - W) associated with leukotriene antagonist (montelukast - M) or corticosteroid (dexamethasone - D) on distal lung of guinea pigs (GP) with...

Neuroimmunomodulation . 2012 Jan; 19(3):158-70. PMID: 22262048
Mechanisms involved in stress-induced asthmatic alterations have been poorly characterised. We assessed whether inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) inhibition modulates the stress-amplified lung parenchyma responsiveness, oxidative stress and extracellular matrix...

Leick E, Reis F, Honorio-Neves F, Almeida-Reis R, Prado C, Martins M, et al.
Neuroimmunomodulation . 2011 Nov; 19(1):1-9. PMID: 22067616
Background/aims: Epidemiological studies suggest that stress has an impact on asthmatic exacerbations. We evaluated if repeated stress, induced by forced swimming, modulates lung mechanics, distal airway inflammation and extracellular matrix...
