Lung-derived innate cytokines: new epigenetic targets of allergen-specific sublingual immunotherapy
Objective(s):Sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy is a safe and effective method for treatment of IgE-mediated respiratory allergies; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was planned to test whether sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can exert epigenetic mechanisms through which the airway allergic responses can be extinguished. Materials and Methods:BALB/c...
متن کامل5-BDBD ameliorates an OVA-induced allergic asthma by the reduction of Th2 cytokines production
Objective(s): P2X4R is expressed in immunocyte and lung tissues. It has been a focus in inflammatory responses recently. This study investigated whether blockage of P2X4R attenuates allergic inflammation by modulating T cell response in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. Materials and Methods: Ovalbumin was used to sensitize and challenge for a mouse model. Intranasal application of 5-BDBD, P2X4R antag...
متن کاملInhibition of neutrophil elastase attenuates airway hyperresponsiveness and inflammation in a mouse model of secondary allergen challenge: neutrophil elastase inhibition attenuates allergic airway responses
BACKGROUND Chronic asthma is often associated with neutrophilic infiltration in the airways. Neutrophils contain elastase, a potent secretagogue in the airways, nonetheless the role for neutrophil elastase as well as neutrophilic inflammation in allergen-induced airway responses is not well defined. In this study, we have investigated the impact of neutrophil elastase inhibition on the developm...
متن کاملSuppression of allergic airway inflammation by helminth-induced regulatory T cells
Allergic diseases mediated by T helper type (Th) 2 cell immune responses are rising dramatically in most developed countries. Exaggerated Th2 cell reactivity could result, for example, from diminished exposure to Th1 cell-inducing microbial infections. Epidemiological studies, however, indicate that Th2 cell-stimulating helminth parasites may also counteract allergies, possibly by generating re...
متن کاملEffects of respiratory syncytial virus infection on dendritic cells and cysteinyl leukotrienes in lung tissues of a murine model of asthma.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary dendritic cells (DCs) play critical roles in both allergy and in viral infection. Levels of cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs) increase after allergen sensitization and viral infection and can modulate the migration and functions of DCs. The present study examines the effects of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection on numbers of DCs and cysLT concentrations in lung tiss...
