The IL-4/IL-13/Stat6 signalling pathway promotes luminal mammary epithelial cell development.
Naïve T helper cells differentiate into Th1 and Th2 subsets, which have unique cytokine signatures, activators and transcriptional targets. The Th1/Th2 cytokine milieu is a key paradigm in lineage commitment, and IL-4 (Il4), IL-13 (Il13) and Stat6 are important mediators of Th2 development. We show here, for the first time, that this paradigm applies also to mammary epithelial cells, which unde...
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 کاملDistinct roles for IL-13 and IL-4 via IL-13 receptor alpha1 and the type II IL-4 receptor in asthma pathogenesis.
IL-13 and IL-4 are central T helper 2 (Th2) cytokines in the immune system and potent activators of inflammatory responses and fibrosis during Th2 inflammation. Recent studies using Il13ra1(-/-) mice have demonstrated a critical role for IL-13 receptor (IL-13R) alpha1 in allergen-induced airway responses. However, these observations require further attention especially because IL-4 can induce s...
متن کاملAnti-inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-10, IL-13) in plasma during mesenteric infarction.
We have recently reported that excessive synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-6 (IL6) and IL-8 may play a role in the pathogenesis of mesenteric infarction. IL-4, IL-10 and IL-13 are classified as anti-inflammatory cytokines because they reduce the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines by stimulated monocytes/macrophage. During several inflammatory states anti-inflammator...
متن کاملIntegrated 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...
