Predominant TH2-like bronchoalveolar T-lymphocyte population in atopic asthma

TL;DR: Atopic asthma is associated with activation in the bronchi of the interleukin-3, 4, and 5 and GM-CSF gene cluster, a pattern compatible with predominant activation of the TH2-like T-cell population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eosinophil's Role Remains Uncertain as Anti–Interleukin-5 only Partially Depletes Numbers in Asthmatic Airway

TL;DR: Anti-IL-5 treatment reduces but does not deplete airway or bone marrow eosinophils and their products, and there were no significant changes in clinical measures of asthma between the mepolizumab and placebo-treated groups.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin expression is increased in asthmatic airways and correlates with expression of Th2-attracting chemokines and disease severity.

TL;DR: The data implicate TSLP, TARC/ CCL17, MDC/CCL22, and IP-10/CXCL10 in asthma pathogenesis, which may act partly through selective development and retention, or recruitment of Th2 cells bearing their receptors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-IL-5 treatment reduces deposition of ECM proteins in the bronchial subepithelial basement membrane of mild atopic asthmatics

TL;DR: Treating asthmatics with anti-IL-5 antibody, which specifically decreased airway eosinophil numbers, significantly reduced the expression of tenascin, lumican, and procollagen III in the bronchial mucosal RBM when compared with placebo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relation of CD4+CD25+ regulatory T-cell suppression of allergen-driven T-cell activation to atopic status and expression of allergic disease.

TL;DR: Treatment to enhance regulatory T-cell responses, in concert with reduction of Th2 cell activation, might be useful in prevention and treatment of allergic disease.
