説明
<p>In the past few decades, solid evidence has been accumulated for the pivotal significance of immunoinflammatory processes in the initiation, progression, and exacerbation of many diseases and disorders. This groundbreaking view came from original works by Ross who first described that excessive inflammatory-fibroproliferative response to various forms of insult to the endothelium and smooth muscle of the artery wall is essential for the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis (Ross, Nature 1993; 362(6423): 801–9). It is now widely recognized that both innate and adaptive immune reactions are avidly involved in the inflammation-related remodeling of many tissues and organs. When this state persists, irreversible fibrogenic changes would occur often culminating in fatal insufficiencies of many vital parenchymal organs such as liver, lung, heart, kidney and intestines. Thus, inflammatory diseases are becoming the common life-threatening risk for and urgent concern about the public health in developed countries (Wynn et al., Nature Medicine 2012; 18(7): 1028–40). Considering this timeliness, we organized a special symposium entitled “Implications of immune/inflammatory responses in smooth muscle dysfunction and disease” in the 58th annual meeting of the Japan Society of Smooth Muscle Research. This symposium report will provide detailed synopses of topics presented in this symposium; (1) the role of inflammasome in atherosclerosis and abdominal aortic aneurysms by Fumitake Usui-Kawanishi and Masafumi Takahashi; (2) Mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis of hyper-contractility of bronchial smooth muscle in allergic asthma by Hiroyasu Sakai, Wataru Suto, Yuki Kai and Yoshihiko Chiba; (3) Vascular remodeling in pulmonary arterial hypertension by Keizo Hiraishi, Lin Hai Kurahara and Ryuji Inoue.</p>
