Regulation and Function of the Interleukin 13 Receptor α 2 During a T Helper Cell Type 2–dominant Immune Response

TL;DR: IL-13 receptor (R)α2 is a critical down-regulatory factor of IL-13–mediated tissue fibrosis induced by the parasitic helminth Schistosoma mansoni, illustrating the central role played by the IL- 13Rα2 in the down-regulation of a chronic and pathogenic Th2-mediated immune response.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Gene Expression Profiles During Acute Pathogen-Induced Pulmonary Inflammation Reveal Divergent Roles for Th1 and Th2 Responses in Tissue Repair

TL;DR: Th1-mediated inflammation is characterized by tissue damage, while Th2 directs wound healing and fibrosis in this model of Th1- or Th2-type inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrosis is regulated by Th2 and Th17 responses and by dynamic interactions between fibroblasts and macrophages

TL;DR: The interactions among fibroblasts, macrophages, and CD4 T cells likely play general and critical roles in initiating, perpetuating, and resolving fibrosis in both experimental and clinical conditions.
