Regulation of allergic airways inflammation by cytokines and glucocorticoids
Current Allergy and Asthma Reports, 2001Cytokines mediate the allergic inflammatory response of the airways, and glucocorticosteroids ameliorate allergy symptoms by regulating cytokine expression. Recent studies provide insight into the manner by which cytokines work together to mediate allergic airway disease. Real progress has also been gained in our understanding of subcellular mechanisms

Allergic inflammation and airway smooth muscle function
Science of The Total Environment, 2001It is widely accepted that airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction plays a key role in asthmatic attacks. Whether abnormalities of contractility or autonomic regulation exist in the asthmatic ASM is still debated. Studies based on isometric contraction failed to show differences in the force-generation capability between asthmatic and normal ASM. Recent

Nitric oxide in allergic airway inflammation
Current Opinion in Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2003Exhaled nitric oxide has been proposed as a useful noninvasive marker of airway inflammation in asthma. Great efforts have been made to standardize the methodology for exhaled nitric oxide measurement in both children and adults. As a consequence there is now an opportunity to establish the precise relationship between exhaled nitric oxide, atopy and ...

Silibinin attenuates allergic airway inflammation in mice
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2012Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease regulated by coordination of T-helper2 (Th2) type cytokines and inflammatory signal molecules. Silibinin is one of the main flavonoids produced by milk thistle, which is reported to inhibit the inflammatory response by suppressing the nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathway.

Diversity of protein carbonylation in allergic airway inflammation
Free Radical Research, 2008Oxidative stress is involved in asthma. This study assessed the carbonylation of sputum proteins in 23 uncontrolled adult asthmatic patients and 23 healthy controls. Carbonylated proteins (68 kDa and 53 kDa) were elevated in asthmatics when compared to controls and the 68-kDa carbonylated protein was significantly correlated with sputum eosinophilia ...

Allergic Airway Inflammation and β-Adrenoceptor Dysfunction
Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics, 2006A reduced response to beta-adrenoceptor agonists has been reported in airways of asthmatic subjects. Mechanisms for beta-adrenoceptor dysfunction are (1) inactivation or downregulation of beta-adrenoceptors by specific agonists (homologous desensitization) or by inflammatory mediations (heterologous desensitization), (2) inactivation or downregulation ...

Sulfuretin attenuates allergic airway inflammation in mice
Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2010Sulfuretin is one of the main flavonoids produced by Rhus verniciflua, which is reported to inhibit the inflammatory response by suppressing the NF-κB pathway. Because NF-κB activation plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of allergic airway inflammation, we here examined the effect of sulfuretin on an ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation model in ...

Roles of Dectin-1 in Allergic Airway Inflammation
Critical Reviews in Immunology, 2017Asthma is a chronic allergic inflammatory disease of the airways. The symptoms can be controlled by inhaled corticosteroids together with long-acting β2 agonists in the majority of patients; however, in some patients, their symptoms remain uncontrolled even under intensive treatment.

Neurotrophins in Chronic Allergic Airway Inflammation and Remodeling
2012Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the production of allergen-specific IgE antibodies, TH2 inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness and airway remodeling. Airway remodeling represents the disease-limiting stage during disease progression, and the underlying cellular molecular network resulting in airway remodeling are ...
