Noninvasive and invasive pulmonary function in mouse models of obstructive and restrictive respiratory diseases

JAJ Vanoirbeek, M Rinaldi, V De Vooght… - American journal of …, 2010 - atsjournals.org
Pulmonary function analysis is an important tool in the evaluation of mouse respiratory
disease models, but much controversy still exists on the validity of some tests. Most commonly …

Nicotine activates the chemosensory cation channel TRPA1

…, Y Karashima, VM Meseguer, JAJ Vanoirbeek… - Nature …, 2009 - nature.com
Topical application of nicotine, as used in nicotine replacement therapies, causes irritation
of the mucosa and skin. This reaction has been attributed to activation of nicotinic …

Lung exposure to nanoparticles modulates an asthmatic response in a mouse model

S Hussain, JAJ Vanoirbeek, K Luyts… - European …, 2011 - Eur Respiratory Soc
The aim of this study was to investigate the modulation of an asthmatic response by titanium
dioxide (TiO 2 ) or gold (Au) nanoparticles (NPs) in a murine model of diisocyanate-induced …

Haptoglobin dampens endotoxin‐induced inflammatory effects both in vitro and in vivo

MS Arredouani, A Kasran, JA Vanoirbeek… - …, 2005 - Wiley Online Library
We report that haptoglobin, an acute‐phase protein produced by liver cells in response to
interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), can modulate the inflammatory response induced by endotoxins. We …

Co-cultures of multiple cell types mimic pulmonary cell communication in response to urban PM10

…, MF Hoylaerts, JA Vanoirbeek… - European …, 2008 - Eur Respiratory Soc
The current authors evaluated whether a system of co-cultures of relevant cells (pneumocytes
(A549), macrophages (THP-1), mast cells (HMC-1) and endothelial cells (EAHY926)) …

Interactions of nanomaterials with the immune system

S Hussain, JAJ Vanoirbeek… - Wiley Interdisciplinary …, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Abstract Evaluation of the immunomodulatory potentials of nanomaterials is essential for
developing safe and consumer‐friendly nanotechnology. Various nanomaterials interact with …

[HTML][HTML] Contamination of nanoparticles by endotoxin: evaluation of different test methods

…, KL Van Landuyt, L Golanski, J Vanoirbeek… - Particle and fibre …, 2012 - Springer
Background Nanomaterials can be contaminated with endotoxin (lipopolysaccharides, LPS)
during production or handling. In this study, we searched for a convenient in vitro method to …

[HTML][HTML] Quantification of lung fibrosis and emphysema in mice using automated micro-computed tomography

…, U Himmelreich, B Nemery, FP Luyten, J Vanoirbeek… - 2012 - journals.plos.org
Background In vivo high-resolution micro-computed tomography allows for longitudinal
image-based measurements in animal models of lung disease. The combination of repetitive …
