Integrated signals between IL-13, IL-4, and IL-5 regulate airways hyperreactivity.
In this investigation, we have examined the integrated relationship between IL-13, IL-4, and IL-5 for the development of airways hyperreactivity (AHR) in a model of asthma in BALB/c mice. Sensitization and aeroallergen challenge of both wild-type (WT) and IL-13 gene-targeted (IL-13-/-) mice induced allergic disease that was characterized by pulmonary eosinophilia and AHR to beta-methacholine. A...
متن کاملDynamics of IL-4 and IL-13 expression in the airways of sheep following allergen challenge
BACKGROUND IL-4 and IL-13 play a critical yet poorly understood role in orchestrating the recruitment and activation of effector cells of the asthmatic response and driving the pathophysiology of allergic asthma. The house dust mite (HDM) sheep asthma model displays many features of the human condition and is an ideal model to further elucidate the involvement of these critical Th2 cytokines. W...
متن کاملPolymorphisms in IL-4R alpha correlate with airways hyperreactivity, eosinophilia, and Ym protein expression in allergic IL-13-/- mice.
The development of airways hyperreactivity in allergic IL-13(-/-) mice is controversial and appears to correlate with the number of times that the original 129 x C57BL/6 founder strain has been crossed to the BALB/c background. In this investigation, we compared allergic responses in founder IL-13(-/-) mice crossed for either 5 (N5) or 10 (N10) generations to BALB/c mice. Whereas allergic N5 IL...
متن کاملassociation of the expression of il-4 and il-13 genes, il-4 and ige serum levels with allergic asthma
immune and inflammatory responses mediated by cytokines, play important roles in the pathophysiology of asthma. these responses are associated with overexpression of th2 cytokines such as il-4 and il-13. these two cytokines use common receptors for signaling that lead to identical immunological effects and regulation of the th1/th2 balance. the aim of this study was to determine whether patient...
متن کاملDetection of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-12 Serum Levels in Generalized Aggressive Periodontitis
Background: Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disease characterized by destruction of tooth-supporting tissues. Environmental and genetic factors as well as the immune system participate in this process. Recent studies have attempted to elucidate the role of cytokine networks involved in periodontal diseases. Objective: To assess and compare the levels of IL-4, IL-6 and IL-...
