Bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is a fibrotic lung disease characterized by progressive luminal narrowing and obliteration of the small airways. In the nontransplant population, inhalation exposure to certain chemicals is associated with BO; however, the mechanisms contributing to disease induction remain poorly understood. This study's objective was to use single-cell RNA sequencing for the identification of transcriptomic signatures common to primary human airway epithelial cells after chemical exposure to BO-associated chemicals-diacetyl or nitrogen mustard-to help explain BO induction.

Murine intrapulmonary tracheal transplantation (IPTT) is used as a model of obliterative airway disease (OAD) following lung transplantation. Initially reported by our team, this model has gained use in the study of OAD due to its high technical reproducibility and suitability for investigating immunological behaviors and therapeutic interventions. In the IPTT model, a rodent tracheal graft is directly inserted into the recipient's lung through the pleura.

Impulse oscillometry system (IOS) is a simple, and less invasive method for assessing small to total airway resistance in children. We analyzed the correlation between IOS, spirometry, and plethysmographic parameters performed for the diagnosis of pediatric BO patients. A total of 89 IOS assessments of pediatric BO patients or children without lung disease were included, and the relationship between pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and diagnostic performance was analyzed.

Background: Small airway inflammation and fibrosis or bronchiolitis obliterans (BO) is the predominant presentation of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) post-lung transplantation. Carbon monoxide (CO) is a critical endogenous signaling transducer with known anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic effects but its therapeutic potential in CLAD remains to be fully elucidated.
Methods: Here we investigate the effect of inhaled CO in modulating chronic lung allograft rejection pathology in a murine orthotopic lung transplant model of BO (B6D2F1/J→DBA/2J).

Blood supply to the lungs is carried out by the pulmonary and bronchial-arterial system. The bronchial-arterial vessels are involved in supplying the small airways all the way up to the terminal bronchioles. The bronchial-arterial system is also necessary for the regulation of airway temperature, humidity and mucociliary clearance.
