Furthermore, these findings show that targeting c-Src represents a potential therapeutic approach to augment GPX-1 responses and counter smoke-induced lung disease.
Altogether, our findings reveal that RYK plays important roles in maintaining the balance between airway epithelial cell populations during development and repair, and that defects in RYK expression or function may contribute to the pathogenesis of human lung diseases.
In PCD, there was significant heterogeneity of lung disease, patients who had pathogenic variants in CCNO presented earlier, and those with CCDC40 and CCNO had worse lung disease, and poorer nutritional status compared with the other subgroups.
These findings show that Notch1 and MRP1 might have a potential protective effect in the COPD process and become a new therapeutic target for COPD or other lung diseases.

Furthermore, we discuss recent data from preclinical studies demonstrating that treatment with the IL-1 receptor (IL-1R) antagonist anakinra has anti-inflammatory as well as mucus modulating effects in mice with CF-like lung disease and primary cultures of human CF airway epithelia.

β2-Adrenergic receptor (β2AR) agonists are clinically used to elicit rapid bronchodilation for the treatment of bronchospasms in pulmonary diseases such as asthma and COPD, both of which exhibit characteristically high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS); likely secondary to over-expression of ROS generating enzymes and chronically heightened inflammation.

Efficacy of the MEK inhibitor cobimetinib in treating lung disease was evaluated with an <sup>18</sup>fluorodeoxyglucose PET scanner and chest CT scans.
Based on these results she was treated with the JAK1/2 inhibitor ruxolitinib, which resulted in reduction in IFN signalling and appeared to be associated with partial though incomplete decrease in the severity of her pulmonary disease.
Together, these data suggest that the deletion disrupts an enhancer responsible for directing FOXF1 expression in the developing lung and provide novel insights into the mechanisms underlying a fatal developmental lung disorder.
Pulmonary hypertension related to chronic lung disease, mainly represented by COPD and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, is associated with a worse outcome when compared with patients only affected by parenchymal lung disease.
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive lung disease with a poor prognosis and limited therapies, and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) plays a central role in the pathogenesis of IPF.
Overall, these findings highlight the role of Miro1 in context of CS-induced mitochondrial dysfunction in lung epithelial cells that may contribute to the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory lung diseases.
Our results thus show that LPS-induced inflammation could inhibit the expression and activity of OCTN1/2 <i>in vitro</i> and reduce the distribution of inhaled medicine in pulmonary diseases.
