Role of CCR5 in the pathogenesis of IL-13-induced inflammation and remodeling.

چکیده
IL-13 is a major effector at sites of Th2 inflammation and tissue remodeling. In these locations, it frequently coexists with the CCR5 chemokine receptor and its ligands MIP-1alpha/CCL3 and MIP-1beta/CCL4. We hypothesized that CCR5 induction and activation play important roles in the pathogenesis of IL-13-induced tissue responses. To test this hypothesis, we evaluated the effects of IL-13 on the expression of CCR5 in the murine lung. We also compared the effects of lung-targeted transgenic IL-13 in mice treated with anti-CCR5 or an Ab control and mice with wild-type or null CCR5 loci. These studies demonstrate that IL-13 is a potent stimulator of epithelial cell CCR5 expression. They also demonstrate that CCR5 neutralization or a deficiency of CCR5 significantly decreases IL-13-induced inflammation, alveolar remodeling, structural and inflammatory cell apoptosis, and respiratory failure and death. Lastly, these studies provide mechanistic insights by demonstrating that CCR5 is required for optimal IL-13 stimulation of select chemokines (MIP-1alpha/CCL3, MIP-1beta/CCL4, MCP-1/CCL-2), matrix metalloproteinase-9 and cell death regulators (Fas, TNF, TNFR1, TNFR2, Bid), optimal IL-13 inhibition of alpha1-antitrypsin, and IL-13-induction of and activation of caspases-3, -8, and-9. Collectively, these studies demonstrate that CCR5 plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of IL-13-induced inflammation and tissue remodeling.

متن کاملIL-23 Gene and Protein Expression in Childhood Asthma
Background: Asthma is the chronic inflammation of airways characterized by eosinophilic infiltration, mucus overproduction, airway hyper-responsiveness and airway remodeling. These changes are induced mostly by cytokines which are produced by T helper (Th) 2 cells. Recently, the role of interleukin-23 (IL-23) in the pathogenesis of adultallergic asthma has been studied. Objective: To explore IL...
متن کاملThe C10/CCL6 chemokine and CCR1 play critical roles in the pathogenesis of IL-13-induced inflammation and remodeling.
IL-13 is a potent stimulator of inflammation and tissue remodeling that plays a key role in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of human disorders. To further understand these responses, studies were undertaken to define the role(s) of the chemokine C10/CCL6 in the pathogenesis of IL-13-induced alterations in the murine lung. IL-13 was a very potent stimulator of C10/CCL6 mRNA and protein, and I...

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is characterized by skin inflammation, barrier dysfunction and chronic pruritus. In this review, recent advances in the pathogenesis of AD are summarized. Clinical efficacy of the anti-IL-4 receptor antibody dupilumab implies that type 2 cytokines IL-4 and IL-13 have pivotal roles in atopic inflammation. The expression of IL-4 and IL-13 as well as type 2 chemokines such a...
