چکیده
human basophils play a key role in allergic diseases such as asthma and in a variety of immunological disorders. the generation of il-4 and il-13 can be induced from basophil by ige-mediated and non-ige-mediated mechanisms. time and stimulus- dependent differences in the regulation of these cytokines could have relevance to their biological effects. the aim of the present study was activation of basophils in order to evaluate the extent of histamine, il-4, and il-13 generations. basophil-enriched suspensions were prepared by percoll gradients. the release of histamine and cytokines was assessed after activation with either anti-human ige (1/1000 or1/10000, 4 h or 24 h) or il-3 (100 ng/ ml, 24 h). results were analysed statistically, using anova test. using anti-ige, there was no significant correlation between the extent of either il-4 (r=0.24, p=0.35) or il-13 (r=0.47, p=0.098) and histamine release. using il-3 as stimulator, results showed that the extent of il-13 correlated with histamine release(r=0.44, p=0.036). there was no correlation between the extent of il-4 and the degree of either histamine (r=0.077, p=0.72) or il-13 (r=0.162, p=0.5). the reproducibility of cytokines isolated from the same donor (on different occasions) indicated that the ability of anti-ige to induce cytokines was consistently similar for a given donor. our data showed that the pathways leading to il-3-triggering histamine release and il-13 generation show similarity. donor-dependent differences may be responsible for this wide range in the extent of releasibility. the ability of il-3 to release cytokines from basophils showed a wider range.

Differential regulation of IL-4 and IL-13 secretion by human basophils: their relationship to histamine release in mixed leukocyte cultures.
Human basophils are an important source of IL-4, a cytokine that is central to the pathogenesis of allergic inflammation. Recent reports have indicated that these cells also generate IL-13, which shares a number of biologic properties with IL-4. We found basophils to be the major source of IL-13 produced in mixed leukocyte cultures following 20-h activation with a variety of stimuli. While the ...
متن کاملMite antigen-induced IL-4 and IL-13 production by basophils derived from atopic asthma patients.
BACKGROUND There is increasing evidence for the role of basophils in the pathogenesis of atopic diseases such as bronchial asthma, atopic dermatitis and atopic rhinitis. Recently, it has been reported that basophils derived from healthy donors produce the immunoregulatory cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 after cross-linking of cell surface IgE. In addition to well-known inflammatory media...
متن کاملIL-13 and IL-4 promote TARC release in human airway smooth muscle cells: role of IL-4 receptor genotype.
The chemokine thymus- and activation-regulated chemokine (TARC) induces selective migration of Th2, but not Th1, lymphocytes and is upregulated in the airways of asthmatic patients. The purpose of this study was to determine whether human airway smooth muscle (HASM) cells produce TARC. Neither IL-4, IL-13, IL-1beta, IFN-gamma, nor TNF-alpha alone stimulated TARC release into the supernatant of ...

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...

Interleukin-4, which has been contemplated for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and/or osteoarthritis because of its anticatabolic properties, has also been shown to modulate apoptosis. Because inadequate apoptosis is thought to contribute to synovial hyperplasia, we have investigated the ability of IL-4 and other Th2 cytokines to protect human synovial cells from apoptosis. Human synovioc...
