TLDR
The cytokine networks driving asthma are reviewed, placing these in cellular context and incorporating insights from cytokine-targeting therapies in the clinic, to argue that the development of new and improved therapeutics will require understanding the diverse mechanisms underlying the spectrum of asthma pathologies.

Dexmedetomidine reduces IL-4 and IgE expression through downregulation of theTLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway to alleviate airway hyperresponsiveness in OVA mice

TL;DR: In this article , the modulatory role of dexmedetomidine (DEX) in the inflammatory response was investigated and it was shown that dexmedetermidine attenuates inflammatory properties by inhibiting the toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor (NF-κB) signalling pathway and can reduce respiratory parameters of mechanical ventilation in ovalbumin-induced allergic airway hyperresponsiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI

The membrane-associated ubiquitin ligases MARCH2 and MARCH3 target IL-5 receptor alpha to negatively regulate eosinophilic airway inflammation

TL;DR: It is suggested that MARCH2 and MARCH3 play redundant roles in targeting IL-5Rα for degradation and negatively regulating allergic airway inflammation and Neutralization of Il-5 attenuates OVA-induced airwayinflammatory and the enhanced effects of March2/3 double deficiency.

Cadherin-26 Amplifies Airway Epithelial IL-4 Receptor Signaling in Asthma

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of CDH26 deficiency in airway mucus overproduction, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway eosinophilia in a murine model of allergic airway disease was investigated.

Predominant TH2-like bronchoalveolar T-lymphocyte population in atopic 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.

Interleukin-13: Central Mediator of Allergic Asthma

TL;DR: In this paper, the type 2 cytokine IL-13, which shares a receptor component and signaling pathways with IL-4, was found to be necessary and sufficient for the expression of allergic asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

Eosinophilic inflammation in asthma.

TL;DR: Eosinophilic inflammation of the airways is correlated with the severity of asthma and these cells are likely to play a part in the epithelial damage seen in this disease.
