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

A murine model of allergic rhinitis: Studies on the role of IgE in pathogenesis and analysis of the eosinophil influx elicited by allergen and eotaxin

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rhinitis can arise in the absence of IgE and the eosinophil influx can be induced by eotaxin in the presence of IL-5.

IL-10 gene knockout attenuates allergen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness in C57BL/6 mice
TL;DR: Evidence is provided that IL-10 expression promotes the development of allergen-induced smooth muscle hyperresponsiveness and adoptive transfer of mononuclear splenocytes toIL-10-sufficient severe combined immunodeficient mice indicated that lymphocytes were an important source of the IL- 10 impacting AHR development.

Urban PM2.5 exacerbates allergic inflammation in the murine lung via a TLR2/TLR4/MyD88-signaling pathway.

TL;DR: The results suggest that urban PM2.5 may exacerbate allergic inflammation in the murine lung via a TLR2/TLR4/MyD88-signaling pathway and trace microbial elements, such as lipopolysaccharide may be a strong candidate for exacerbation of Murine lung eosinophilia.

CpG oligodeoxynucleotides as TLR9 agonists: therapeutic application in allergy and asthma.
TL;DR: CpG ODNs may be used alone or as an adjuvant to immunotherapy to treat these disorders, and studies in murine models have shown that the development of atopic airway disease can be prevented by treatment with CpGODNs.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the aggravated allergic inflammation by mineral dusts may be due to the mineral elements (mainly SiO2), which synergistically increased the eosinophil relevant cytokine and chemokine, such as IL-5 and monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP)-3.

Predominant TH2-like bronchoalveolar T-lymphocyte population in atopic asthma
Douglas S. Robinson,Qutayba Hamid,Sun Ying,Anne Tsicopoulos,J. Barkans,Andrew Bentley,Christopher Corrigan,Stephen R. Durham,A. B. Kay +8 more
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.

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.
