Effect of Systemic Prednisone Treatment on Changes of Inflammation Markers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis
(1) Objective: We aimed to evaluate the effect of treatment with prednisone on nasal and systemic periostin and eotaxin expression, IgE in plasma and eosinophils in tissue. (2) Methods: We compared the values of nasal and systemic periostin, eotaxin, IgE

CCL11 (eotaxin‐1): A new diagnostic serum marker for prostate cancer [PDF]
AbstractBACKGROUNDThe recent recommendation of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force against PSA‐based screening for prostate cancer was based, in part, on the lack of demonstrated diagnostic utility of serum PSA values in the low, but detectable range to successfully predict prostate cancer.

β2-Agonists inhibit TNF-α-induced ICAM-1 expression in human airway parasympathetic neurons. [PDF]
Major basic protein released from eosinophils to airway parasympathetic nerves blocks inhibitory M(2) muscarinic receptors on the parasympathetic nerves, increasing acetylcholine release and potentiating reflex bronchoconstriction.

The roles of eosinophils in antimicrobial defense remain incompletely understood. In ovalbumin-sensitized mice, eosinophils are selectively recruited to the peritoneal cavity by antigen, eotaxin, or leukotriene(LT)B4, a 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) metabolite ...

Background: Eotaxin (CCL11) is a small protein produced in the lungs of patients with asthma, and is a potent chemoattractant for eosinophils. Aim: To elucidate the role of eotaxin in asthma by an association study of functional and novel eotaxin ...

Leukotriene D4 and interleukin-13 cooperate to increase the release of eotaxin-3 by airway epithelial cells. [PDF]
Airway epithelial cells play a central role in the physiopathology of asthma. They release eotaxins when treated with T(H)2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, and these chemokines attract eosinophils and potentiate the biosynthesis of ...
