Journal ArticleDOI
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin and IL-33 modulate migration of hematopoietic progenitor cells in patients with allergic asthma.
Steven G. Smith,Akash Gugilla,Manali Mukherjee,Kayla Merim,Anam Irshad,Wei Tang,Takashi Kinoshita,Brittany Watson,John-Paul Oliveria,M.R. Comeau,Paul M. O'Byrne,Gail M. Gauvreau,Roma Sehmi +12 more
TL;DR: The role of TSLP and IL-33 in the recruitment of progenitor cells to the airway in asthmatic patients was investigated in this paper, where the effect of allergen inhalation challenge on expression levels of receptors for TSLPs (thymic stromal lymphopoietin receptor [TSLPR] and CD127) and ILs33 (ST2) was examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
IL-25 and IL-25 receptor expression on eosinophils from subjects with allergic asthma.
TL;DR: The increased IL-25 levels in plasma and the expression of IL-17RA andIL-17RB on eosinophils in allergic asthma patients suggests that IL- 25 may activate eosInophils during allergic inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Myeloid dendritic cells type 2 after allergen inhalation in asthmatic subjects.
TL;DR: A subtype of mDC expressing thrombomodulin, termed myeloid DCs type 2 (mDC2s), has been identified in both the circulation and lung and has recently been suggested to have a role in allergic asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interleukin-25 and eosinophils progenitor cell mobilization in allergic asthma
Wei Tang,Wei Tang,Steven G. Smith,Wei Du,Akash Gugilla,Juan Du,John-Paul Oliveria,Karen Howie,Brittany M. Salter,Gail M. Gauvreau,Paul M. O'Byrne,Roma Sehmi +11 more
TL;DR: A potential role for IL-25 in allergen-induced trafficking of EoP to the airways and local differentiation promoting tissue eosiniophilia in asthmatic responses is indicated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allergen-Induced Increases in Interleukin-25 and Interleukin-25 Receptor Expression in Mature Eosinophils from Atopic Asthmatics
Wei Tang,Steven G. Smith,Brittany M. Salter,John-Paul Oliveria,Patrick D. Mitchell,Graeme Nusca,Karen Howie,Gail M. Gauvreau,Paul M. O'Byrne,Roma Sehmi +9 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest that the IL-25/IL-25R axis may play an important role in promoting the recruitment and proinflammatory function of eosinophils in allergic asthma.
