چکیده

Objective/purpose In asthma, CD4+T cells are selectively recruited into the bronchial mucosa. CD4+ T cells consist of different subsets that express lineage specific transcription factors and play different roles either in initiating and supporting the development of immune response, but also in orchestrating and regulating them. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of T cells-bronchial fibroblasts interaction on CD4+T cell phenotype.

Co-Culture of Human Bronchial Fibroblasts and CD4+ T Cells Increases Th17 Cytokine Signature

BACKGROUND Airway inflammation is an important characteristic of asthma and has been associated with airway remodelling and bronchial hyperreactivity. The mucosal microenvironment composed of structural cells and highly specialised extracellular matrix is able to amplify and promote inflammation. This microenvironment leads to the development and maintenance of a specific adaptive response char...

Inactivated Mycobacterium phlei inhalation ameliorates allergic asthma through modulating the balance of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T and Th17 cells in mice

Objective(s): Th2 response is related to the aetiology of asthma, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. To address this point, the effect of nebulized inhalation of inactivated Mycobacterium phlei on modulation of asthmatic  airway  inflammation was investigated. Materials and Methods: 24 male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups: control group (Group A), asthma model group (G...

Altered expression of regulatory T and Th17 cells in murine bronchial asthma

Alteration of the careful balance of the ratio of Th1/Th2 cell subsets impacts immune function and plays an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma. There is little research on the impact of changes on the balance of the regulatory T (Treg)/Th17 subset ratio and its possible repercussions for asthma. This investigation used a murine model of asthma to measure the expression levels of Treg ...

AT-RvD1 Modulates CCL-2 and CXCL-8 Production and NF-κB, STAT-6, SOCS1, and SOCS3 Expression on Bronchial Epithelial Cells Stimulated with IL-4

Bronchial epithelial cells represent the first line of defense against microorganisms and allergens in the airways and play an important role in chronic inflammatory processes such as asthma. In an experimental model, both RvD1 and AT-RvD1, lipid mediators of inflammation resolution, ameliorated some of the most important phenotypes of experimental asthma. Here, we extend these results and demo...

CD39 and CD161 modulate Th17 responses in Crohn's disease.

CD39 (ENTPD1) is expressed by subsets of pathogenic human CD4(+) T cells, such as Th17 cells. These Th17 cells are considered important in intestinal inflammation, such as seen in Crohn's disease (CD). Recently, CD161 (NKR-P1A) was shown to be a phenotypic marker of human Th17 cells. In this study, we report that coexpression of CD161 and CD39 not only identifies these cells but also promotes T...
