Treatment and diagnostic methods are provided for pulmonary disease, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Arhgef1, a leukocyte signaling molecule, functions normally to suppress integrin-mediated MMP production by alveolar macrophages. MMP9 production by fibronectin-stimulated monocytes and macrophages depends on autocrine thromboxane receptor signaling and this signaling pathway is attenuated by Arhgef1. Expression of ARHGEF1 by human peripheral blood monocytes varies between individuals and inversely correlates with fibronectin-mediated MMP9 production. Arhgef1 levels can function as a predictor for a pulmonary disease candidate and a thromboxane receptor antagonist can treat a pulmonary disease condition resulting from low Arhgef1 levels.

Foot and out disease virus (FMDV) is worldwide problem. Rapid isolation, serotyping and vaccine matching of FMDV from infected animals is critical to enable the implementation of effective vaccination programs and to stop the spread of infection during outbreaks. Current virus isolation protocols use primary cells, known to be susceptible to FMDV, or baby hamster kidney cells (BHK-21) and other cell lines that are not highly sensitive to some strains of FMDV. The αVβ6 integrin is a principal receptor for FMDV. We therefore transduced the porcine kidney cell line, LFBK, to stably express both the αV and β6 bovine integrin subunits. The LFBK-αVβ6 cell line showed both β6 expression and enhanced susceptibility to FMDV infection for at least 100 cell passages. LFBK-αVβ6 cells are highly sensitive for detecting all serotypes of FMDV from experimentally infected animals, including the porcinophillic strain O / TAW / 97 and are thus a sensitive tool for FMDV isolation.
