TLDR
Results provide proof of principle that TSLP can be expressed and produced through caspase-1 and NF-κB in mast cells and open new perspectives to pharmacologically manipulate the expression and production of T SLP by molecules acting on the casp enzyme and NF -κB pathway.

TSLP expression: cellular sources, triggers, and regulatory mechanisms.

TL;DR: This review focuses on events upstream of TSLP production, which is critical in allergic diseases and important in other T SLP-related disorders i.e. production sites, cellular sources, environmental and endogenous triggers and regulatory factors, and regulatory mechanisms of gene expression.

Cytokine inhibition in the treatment of COPD

TL;DR: There is a need to carefully phenotype COPD and discover good biomarkers of drug efficacy for each specific target, and specific groups of COPD patients should be targeted with specific anticytokine therapy if there is evidence of high expression of that cytokine and there are features of the clinical expression of COPd that will respond.

Mast cell activation: A complex interplay of positive and negative signaling pathways

TL;DR: This review presents the latest understanding of FcεRI and FcγR signaling, required for the canonical mast cell activation during allergic responses and anaphylaxis and reports how the FcR activation could be used as a therapeutic approach to treat allergic and atopic diseases by mast cell inactivation.

MicroRNA-375 Regulation of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin by Diesel Exhaust Particles and Ambient Particulate Matter in Human Bronchial Epithelial Cells

TL;DR: It is shown that two pollutants, DEP and ambient PM, upregulate TSLP in human bronchial epithelial cells by a mechanism that includes hsa-miR-375 with complex regulatory effects on AhR mRNA.

Cellular and Molecular Mechanisms of TSLP Function in Human Allergic Disorders - TSLP Programs the “Th2 code” in Dendritic Cells

TL;DR: Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) has been recently implicated as a key molecule for initiating allergic inflammation at the epithelial cell-dendritic cell (DC) interface and is a rational therapeutic target for the treatment of allergic disorders.

Mast cells as a source of multifunctional cytokines

TL;DR: It is suggested that the production of a broad panel of multifunctional cytokines may represent an important mechanism by which mast cells influence physiological, immunological and pathological processes.

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin: master switch for allergic inflammation

TL;DR: New reports now establish a direct link between TSLP expression and the pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis and asthma in vivo, and begin to reveal the molecular mechanisms underlying T SLP-induced allergic inflammation.

A thymic stromal cell line supports in vitro development of surface IgM+ B cells and produces a novel growth factor affecting B and T lineage cells

TL;DR: A thymic stromal cell line with a medullary phenotype that supported the differentiation of surface IgM+ B cells when cocultured with fetal liver cells in vitro exhibits a functional homology to bone marrow or fetal liverStromal cells not previously appreciated.

Inducible expression of the proallergic cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin in airway epithelial cells is controlled by NFκB

TL;DR: It is found that both IL-1β and TNF-α were capable of inducing rapid TSLP production in primary human bronchial airway epithelial cells and analysis of the mouse T SLP gene promoter revealed the presence of a similarly situated NFκB site that was also critical for IL- 1β-inducible expression of mouse TSlP.

Cloning of human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and signaling mechanisms leading to proliferation.

TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of the human homologue of murine TSLP is described and its proliferative effects on a myeloid cell line MUTZ-3 are described.
