Respiratory Research | Abstract | Combination of Roflumilast with a Beta-2 Adrenergic Receptor Agonist Inhibits Proinflammatory and Profibrotic Mediator Release from Human Lung Fibroblasts

respiratory-research.com — “Small airway narrowing is an important pathology which impacts lung function in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The accumulation of fibroblasts and myofibroblasts contribute to inflammation, remodeling and fibrosis by production and release of mediators such as cytokines, profibrotic factors and extracellular matrix proteins. This study investigated the effects of the phosphodiesterase 4 inhibitor roflumilast, combined with the long acting beta2 adrenergic agonist indacaterol, both” View full resource at respiratory-research.com
