摘要

The histopathologic features of asthma include chronic airway inflammation, increased density of fibroblastsand myofibroblasts in the lamina propria and presence of structural abnormalities of the bronchial wall collectively referredto with the term “airway remodeling”. The newly emerged population of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts contributesto airway remodeling by producing excessive amounts of collagenous and non-collagenous extracellular matrix componentsin the subepithelial zone and by expanding the mass of contractile cells in the bronchial wall. A substantial proportionof these mesenchymal cells in asthma exhibit the phenotypic and functional characteristic of fibrocytes, which representa unique population of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal progenitors recruited to tissue sites from the circulation inresponse to injury or in chronic inflammatory conditions. Recent studies have demonstrated that the asthmatic bronchialepithelium is a major source of fibrocyte chemoattractants and growth factors. This review will focus on the novel observationssuggesting that asthmatic epithelial cells may play a key role in the development and progression of airway remodelingby promoting the recruitment and local differentiation of fibrocytes.
