Reaction of the butter flavorant diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) with N-α-acetylarginine: a model for epitope formation with pulmonary proteins in the etiology of obliterative bronchiolitis.

The butter flavorant diacetyl (2,3-butanedione) is implicated in causing obliterative bronchiolitis in microwave popcorn plant workers. Because diacetyl modifies arginine residues, an immunological basis for its toxicity is under investigation. Reaction products of diacetyl with N-α-acetylarginine

Role of nitric oxide in experimental obliterative bronchiolitis (chronic rejection) in the rat.

Only registered users can translate articles

The role of nitric oxide in obliterative bronchiolitis development, i.e., chronic rejection, was investigated in the heterotopic rat tracheal allograft model. An increase in the intragraft inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA and mononuclear inflammatory cell iNOS immunoreactivity was

Interaction between Pseudomonas and CXC chemokines increases risk of bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome and death in lung transplantation.

BACKGROUND Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most commonly isolated gram-negative bacterium after lung transplantation and has been shown to up-regulate glutamic acid-leucine-arginine-positive (ELR(+)) CXC chemokines associated with bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS), but the effect of pseudomonas

Systemic overexpression of matricellular protein CCN1 exacerbates obliterative bronchiolitis in mouse tracheal allografts.

Obliterative bronchiolitis (OB) involves airway epithelial detachment, fibroproliferation, and inflammation, resulting in chronic rejection and transplant failure. Cysteine-rich 61 (CCN1) is an integrin receptor antagonist with a context-dependent role in inflammatory and fibroproliferative

Systemic uptake, albumin and hemoglobin binding of [(14)C]2,3-butanedione administered by intratracheal instillation in male Harlan Sprague Dawley rats and oropharyngeal aspiration in male B6C3F1/N mice.

2,3-Butanedione (BD) is a reactive diketone in artificial butter flavors that is thought to cause bronchiolitis obliterans in workers in microwave popcorn manufacturing. Bronchiolitis obliterans is generally not diagnosed until irreversible damage has occurred; therefore a biomarker of early

Activated protein C ameliorates chronic graft-versus-host disease by PAR1-dependent biased cell signaling on T cells.

Soluble thrombomodulin plasma concentrations are elevated in steroid-resistant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), implying endothelial hypofunctioning for thrombomodulin-dependent generation of activated protein C's (APC) anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic functions. Recombinant

Nitric oxide synthase activity is elevated in inflammatory lung disease in humans.

We have characterised nitric oxide (NO) synthase activity in lung samples from patients with inflammatory lung disease compared to that in normal donor lung. NO synthase activity was measured by the ability of tissue homogenates to convert L-arginine to L-citrulline. Higher levels of NO synthase

Pulmonary arterial reactivity during induced infection of single lung allografts.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE Infection is a major cause of mortality in the first year following single lung transplantation and is a distinct risk factor for the development of obliterative bronchiolitis. However, little is known about changes in pulmonary vascular activity in the setting of infection, which might
