1 RESULTS: Fibrocytes did not affect ASMC proliferation and expression of TGF-beta1, eotaxin, alpha-SMA and MLCK; however, ASMC production of IL-8 and IL-6 was increased in the co-culture and transwell culture by FC. asmc interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
2 ASMC treated with FCCM were immunopositive for IL-8/IL-6 and produced more IL-8/IL-6. asmc interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
3 ASMC treated with FCCM were immunopositive for IL-8/IL-6 and produced more IL-8/IL-6. asmc interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, siRNA silencing of NF-kappaB-p65 or ERK1/2 in transwell cultures of asthmatic ASMC with normal subject FC decreased IL-8 and IL-6 production. asmc interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Fibrocytes promoted IL-8 and IL-6 production by ASMC, demonstrating a proinflammatory role for FC and a possible mechanism of the inflammatory phenotype in asthma. asmc interleukin 6 Homo sapiens
