Cough hypersensitivity syndrome is an important clinical concept: A pro/con debate (2011)
Journal Article
Morice, A. H., McGarvey, L. P., & Dicpinigaitis, P. V. (2012). Cough hypersensitivity syndrome is an important clinical concept: A pro/con debate. Lung, 190(1), 3-9. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00408-011-9351-y

The major etiologies of chronic cough are generally accepted to consist of upper airway cough syndrome (formerly postnasal drip syndrome), eosinophilic airway inflammation (asthma, nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis), and gastroesophageal reflux di...

Chronic cough and esomeprazole: A double-blind placebo-controlled parallel study (2011)
Journal Article
Faruqi, S., Molyneux, I. D., Fathi, H., Wright, C., Thompson, R., & Morice, A. H. (2011). Chronic cough and esomeprazole: A double-blind placebo-controlled parallel study. Respirology : official journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology, 16(7), 1150-1156. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1440-1843.2011.02014.x

Background and objective: Gastro-oesophageal reflux has been implicated in the pathogenesis of chronic cough. Guidelines on management suggest a therapeutic trial of anti-reflux medication. Esomeprazole is a proton pump inhibitor licensed for the lon... Read More about Chronic cough and esomeprazole: A double-blind placebo-controlled parallel study.

Palmitoylation of human proteinase-activated receptor-2 differentially regulates receptor-triggered ERK1/2 activation, calcium signalling and endocytosis (2011)
Journal Article
Botham, A., Guo, X., Xiao, Y. P., Morice, A. H., Compton, S., & Sadofsky, L. R. (2011). Palmitoylation of human proteinase-activated receptor-2 differentially regulates receptor-triggered ERK1/2 activation, calcium signalling and endocytosis. Biochemical Journal, 438(2), 359-367. https://doi.org/10.1042/BJ20101958

hPAR2 (human proteinase-activated receptor-2) is a member of the novel family of proteolytically activated GPCRs (G-protein-coupled receptors) termed PARs (proteinase-activated receptors). Previous pharmacological studies have found that activation o...

Gastro-oesophageal reflux, eosinophilic airway inflammation and chronic cough (2011)
Journal Article
Pacheco, A., Faro, V., Cobeta, I., Royuela, A., Molyneux, I., & Morice, A. H. (2011). Gastro-oesophageal reflux, eosinophilic airway inflammation and chronic cough. Respirology : official journal of the Asian Pacific Society of Respirology, 16(6), 994-999. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1440-1843.2011.02010.x

Background and objective: Patients with eosinophilic airway inflammation (EAI) often show a therapeutic response to corticosteroids. Non-invasive methods of diagnosing EAI are potentially useful in guiding therapy, particularly in conditions such as...

Serum LDH in chronic cough: A potential marker of airway inflammation (2011)
Journal Article
Faruqi, S., Wilmot, R., Wright, C., & Morice, A. H. (2012). Serum LDH in chronic cough: A potential marker of airway inflammation. Clinical Respiratory Journal, 6(2), 81-87. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1752-699X.2011.00250.x

Introduction and Objectives: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is found in almost all tissues of the body and five different isoenzymes are known (LDH-1 to LDH-5). LDH can be elevated in many pathological conditions. We have observed serum LDH to be increa... Read More about Serum LDH in chronic cough: A potential marker of airway inflammation.

N-linked glycosylation regulates human proteinase-activated receptor-1 cell surface expression and disarming via neutrophil proteinases and thermolysin (2011)
Journal Article

N-linked glycosylation regulates human proteinase-activated receptor-1 cell surface expression and disarming via neutrophil proteinases and thermolysin. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 286(26), 22991-23002. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.M110.204271

Proteinase-activated receptor 1 (PAR1) induces activation of platelet and vascular cells after proteolytic cleavage of its extracellular N terminus by thrombin. In pathological situations, other proteinases may be generated in the circulation and mig...
