Smoking in asthma is associated with elevated levels of corticosteroid resistant sputum cytokines—an exploratory study [PDF]

, 2013
<p>Background: Current cigarette smoking is associated with reduced acute responses to corticosteroids and worse clinical outcomes in stable chronic asthma. The mechanism by which current smoking promotes this altered behavior is currently unclear.

CXCL13 is a predictive biomarker in idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease

Nature Communications, 2022
Idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease (iMCD) is a life-threatening inflammatory disease requiring immediate intervention, for which the recommended first-line therapy is the Interleukin-6 pathway inhibitor siltuximab.

Targeting IFN activity to both B cells and plasmacytoid dendritic cells induces a robust tolerogenic response and protection against EAE

Scientific Reports, 2021
Type I Interferon (IFN) was the very first drug approved for the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and is still frequently used as a first line therapy. However, systemic IFN also causes considerable side effects, affecting therapy adherence and dose

Human Ubiquitin-Specific Peptidase 18 Is Regulated by microRNAs via the 3'Untranslated Region, A Sequence Duplicated in Long Intergenic Non-coding RNA Genes Residing in chr22q11.21

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
Ubiquitin-specific peptidase 18 (USP18) acts as gatekeeper of type I interferon (IFN) responses by binding to the IFN receptor subunit IFNAR2 and preventing activation of the downstream JAK/STAT pathway.

Role of FK506-sensitive signals in asthmatic lung inflammation

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Asthma is airway inflammatory diseases caused by the activation of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and type 2 helper T (TH2) cells. Cysteine proteases allergen cause tissue damage to airway epithelial cells and activate ILC2-mediated type 2 airway ...

Comparison of the Seven Interleukin-32 Isoforms’ Biological Activities: IL-32θ Possesses the Most Dominant Biological Activity

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
Cytokines are significantly associated with the homeostasis of immune responses in health and disease. Interleukin-32 (IL-32) is a cytokine originally discovered in natural killer cell transcript 4.

A Paradoxical Effect of Interleukin-32 Isoforms on Cancer

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
IL-32 plays a contradictory role such as tumor proliferation or suppressor in cancer development depending on the cancer type. In most cancers, it was found that the high expression of IL-32 was associated with more proliferative and progression of ...
