Abstract:
Asthma is a extensive airway limited disease caused by allergens or other factors and emerging under bronchial hyper-responsiveness,which is a common chronic respiratory disease.Airway inflammation and airway remodeling is the main feature of bronchial asthma,and airway remodeling is the main pathological basis causing the irreversible airflow obstruction and pulmonary function injury of asthma.The main pathological change of airway remodeling is airway smooth muscle layer thickening induced by airway smooth muscle cell (ASMC) proliferation,and the mast and increasing number of ASMC under the action of various cytokines is the main cause of smooth muscle layer thickening.The function of airway smooth muscle cells in the airway remodeling is described.
