Recombinant ST2 boosts hepatic Th2 response in vivo.
Excessive scarring or fibrosis is a common feature of a wide spectrum of diseases characterized by an exaggerated Th2 response. The TLR/IL-1 receptor (IL-1R)-related protein ST2 is expressed in a membrane-bound form selectively by Th2 cells and was shown to be indispensable for some in vivo Th2 responses. ST2 was also found to block TLR signaling. We addressed the impact of the ST2 pathway on f...
متن کاملIL-33/ST2 signaling boosts inflammation and pain.
We read with interest the work of Taracanova et al. (1) on the synergic effect of substance P (SP) and IL33 over TNF-α production. Notably, IL-33 potentiates SP-induced TNF-α production by more than 100-fold in mast cells. Both IL-33 and SP increase the expression of each other receptor, and more interestingly, ST2 coimmunoprecipitates with neurokinin-1 (NK-1, SP receptor), demonstrating a form...
متن کاملExpansion of hepatic stem cell compartment boosts liver regeneration.
The hepatic stem cells reside periportally forming the canals of Hering in normal liver. They can be identified by their unique immunophenotype in rat. The oval cells, the progenies of stem cells invade deep the liver parenchyma after activation and differentiate into focally arranged small-and eventually trabecularly ordered regular hepatocytes. We have observed that upon the completion of int...
متن کاملPollen/TLR4 Innate Immunity Signaling Initiates IL-33/ST2/Th2 Pathways in Allergic Inflammation
Innate immunity has been extended to respond environmental pathogen other than microbial components. Here we explore a novel pollen/TLR4 innate immunity in allergic inflammation. In experimental allergic conjunctivitis induced by short ragweed (SRW) pollen, typical allergic signs, stimulated IL-33/ST2 signaling and overproduced Th2 cytokine were observed in ocular surface, cervical lymph nodes ...
متن کاملNitric oxide and the Th2 response combine to prevent severe hepatic damage during Schistosoma mansoni infection.
During infection with Schistosoma mansoni, NO production increases following the deposition of parasite eggs in the liver. In wild-type C57BL/6 mice, NO levels peak during the sixth week of infection and are subsequently down-regulated. Inducible NO synthase (iNOS) mRNA was found in diseased liver tissue along with TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma, which are known promoters of iNOS expression. Mice trea...
