IL-33, an interleukin-1-like cytokine that signals via the IL-1 receptor-related protein ST2 and induces T helper type 2-associated cytokines

TLDR
A member of theIL-1 family, IL-33, which mediates its biological effects via IL-1 receptor ST 2, activates NF-kappaB and MAP kinases, and drives production of T(H)2-associated cytokines from in vitro polarized T( H)2 cells is reported.

Immunological and Inflammatory Functions of the Interleukin-1 Family

TL;DR: The IL-1 family includes members that suppress inflammation, both specifically within the IL-2 family but also nonspecifically for TLR ligands and the innate immune response.

The Inflammasomes: Guardians of the Body

TL;DR: The role of NLRs, and in particular the inflammasomes, in the recognition of microbial and danger components and the role they play in health and disease are discussed.

A large-scale, consortium-based genomewide association study of asthma.

TL;DR: A few common alleles are associated with disease risk at all ages and suggest a role for communication of epithelial damage to the adaptive immune system and activation of airway inflammation in asthma.

Innate production of T H 2 cytokines by adipose tissue-associated c-Kit + Sca-1 + lymphoid cells

TL;DR: In this article, a new type of innate lymphocyte present in a novel lymphoid structure associated with adipose tissues in the peritoneal cavity was reported. But these cells do not express lineage (Lin) markers but do express c-Kit, Sca-1 (also known as Ly6a), IL7R and IL33R.

CD4 T cells: fates, functions, and faults

TL;DR: Much of what is known about the 4 CD4 T-cell subsets is summarized, including the history of their discovery, their unique cytokine products and related functions, their distinctive expression of cell surface receptors and their characteristic transcription factors, the regulation of their fate determination, and the consequences of their abnormal activation.

Enhanced genome annotation using structural profiles in the program 3D-PSSM.

TL;DR: Three-dimensional position-specific scoring matrix, 3D-PSSM, combines the power of multiple sequence profiles with knowledge of protein structure to provide enhanced recognition and thus functional assignment of newly sequenced genomes.

IL-25 induces IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 and Th2-associated pathologies in vivo.

TL;DR: The results suggest that IL-25, derived from Th2 T cells, is capable of amplifying allergic type inflammatory responses by its actions on other cell types.
Journal ArticleDOI

1alpha,25-Dihydroxyvitamin d3 has a direct effect on naive CD4(+) T cells to enhance the development of Th2 cells.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that vitD3 acts directly on Th cells and can, in the absence of APC, enhance the development of a Th2 phenotype and augment the expression of the transcription factors c-maf and GATA-3.

The Interleukin-1 Receptor/Toll-like Receptor Superfamily: Signal Transduction During Inflammation and Host Defense

TL;DR: The interleukin-1 receptor/Toll-like receptor (IL-1R/TLR) superfamily plays a central role in inflammation and the host response to bacterial infection, and is evolutionarily conserved and a critical determinant of innate immune and inflammatory responses.
