Pollutants, farm dust, and pollens can worsen respiratory diseases. Genetic alterations, chromosome abnormalities, and immunosuppression caused by bacterial, fungal, and viral infections also play a key role in the pathogenesis of these diseases. In vitro models, such as cell lines, gene expression techniques, and biomarkers, have been used to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying respiratory diseases and explore novel diagnostic and therapeutic options.
pollutants, farm dust, and pollens may also exacerbate such diseases. Moreover, alterations in the genetic sequence of an individual, abnormalities in the chromosomes or immunosuppression resulting from bacterial, fungal, and viral infections may also play a key role in the pathogenesis of respiratory diseases. Over the years, multiple in vitro models have been employed as the basis of existing as well as emerging advancements in chronic respiratory disease research. These include cell lines, gene expression techniques, single cell RNA sequencing, cytometry, culture techniques, as well as serum/sputum biomarkers that can be used to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying these diseases, and to identify novel diagnostic and management options for these diseases. This review summarizes the current understanding of the pathogenesis of various chronic respiratory diseases derived through in vitro experimental models, where the knowledge obtained from these studies can greatly benefit researchers in the discovery and development of novel screening techniques and advanced therapeutic strategies that could be translated into clinical use in the future.
