TLDR
Results indicate that IL-5 and eosinophils are central mediators in the pathogenesis of allergic lung disease.Abstract:
Airways inflammation is thought to play a central role in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, the precise role that individual inflammatory cells and mediators play in the development of airways hyperreactivity and the morphological changes of the lung during allergic pulmonary inflammation is unknown. In this investigation we have used a mouse model of allergic pulmonary inflammation and interleukin (IL) 5-deficient mice to establish the essential role of this cytokine and eosinophils in the initiation of aeroallergen-induced lung damage and the development of airways hyperreactivity. Sensitization and aerosol challenge of mice with ovalbumin results in airways eosinophilia and extensive lung damage analogous to that seen in asthma. Aeroallergen-challenged mice also display airways hyperreactivity to beta-methacholine. In IL-5-deficient mice, the eosinophilia, lung damage, and airways hyperreactivity normally resulting from aeroallergen challenge were abolished. Reconstitution of IL-5 production with recombinant vaccinia viruses engineered to express this factor completely restored aeroallergen-induced eosinophilia and airways dysfunction. These results indicate that IL-5 and eosinophils are central mediators in the pathogenesis of allergic lung disease.read more

TL;DR: Results indicate that both Stat5a and Stat5b are essential for induction of antigen-induced eosinophil recruitment into the airways and that the defects in antigen- induced eos inophil recruitability result from both impaired IL-5 production in the airway and diminished IL- 5 responsiveness of eOSinophils.

TL;DR: The in vivo role of NK cells in the development of allergic airway inflammation has not been firmly established due to the lack of animal models with selective deficiencies in NK cells.

TL;DR: Results indicate Astragalus Membranaceus has a potential role in treating allergic asthma, and significantly decreased inflammatory infiltration and mucus secretion in the lung tissues of allergic mice.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that GRRK treatment before or after established allergic lung disease down-regulates key asthmatic features and has a potential clinical use for the treatment of allergic 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.

TL;DR: It is concluded that allergic asthma is accompanied by extensive inflammatory changes in the airways, even in mild clinical and subclinical disease.

TL;DR: Alveolar macrophages are part of the regulatory mechanisms of PMN mobility and adherence that appears to be crucial in the initiation of some inflammatory reactions, and this supports a central role for alveolarmacrophages in the regulation of PMn traffic in the lungs.

Bronchoalveolar eosinophilia during allergen-induced late asthmatic reactions.
TL;DR: Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed in 19 asthmatic patients and in 5 control subjects to suggest that eosinophils and their mediators might be involved in the development of LAR after allergen inhalation.

TL;DR: Human rIL-5 was found to selectively stimulate morphological changes and the function of human eosinophils, and is thus a prime candidate for the selective eOSinophilia and eos inophil activation seen in disease.
