Abstract_ Background Airway narrowing associated with chronic asthma results in the transmission of injurious compressive forces to the bronchial epithelium and promotes the release of pro-inflammatory mediators and the denudation of the bronchial epithelium. While the individual effects of compression or denudation are well characterized there is no data to elucidate how these cells respond to the application of mechanical compression in the presence of a compromised epithelial layer. Methods Accordingly differentiated normal human bronchial epithelial cells were exposed to one of four conditions l unperturbed control cells 2 single scrape wound only 3 static compression 6 hours of 30 cmH2O and 4 6 hours of static compression after a scrape wound. Following treatment wound closure rate was recorded media was assayed for mediator content and the cytoskeletal network was .
