Macrophages and Epithelial Cells Mutually Interact through NLRP3 to Clear Infection and Enhance the Gastrointestinal Barrier

open access: yesImmuno, 2021
Activation of the nod-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) leads to the release of the proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β, which then facilitates pathogen control by macrophages.

Mometasone furoate and fluticasone furoate are equally effective in restoring nasal epithelial barrier dysfunction in allergic rhinitis

open access: yesWorld Allergy Organization Journal, 2021
Tight junction defects (TJ) have been associated with a defective epithelial barrier function in allergic rhinitis (AR). Intranasal corticosteroids are potent drugs frequently used to treat AR and are shown to restore epithelial integrity by acting on ...

Angiocrine Regulation of Epithelial Barrier Integrity in Inflammatory Bowel Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine, 2021
Inflammatory bowel disease describes chronic inflammatory disorders. The incidence of the disease is rising. A major step in disease development is the breakdown of the epithelial cell barrier.

Beneficial autoimmunity at body surfaces – immune surveillance and rapid type 2 immunity regulate tissue homeostasis and cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Epithelial cells line body surface tissues and provide a physicochemical barrier to the external environment. Frequent microbial and non-microbial challenges such as those imposed by mechanical disruption, injury or exposure to noxious environmental ...

Epithelial barrier dysfunction in bronchial asthma

open access: yesВестник медицинского института «Реавиз»: Реабилитация, врач и здоровье, 2022
The pathogenesis of bronchial asthma is based on chronic inflammation as a response to etiological factors. It causes bron-chial hyperreactivity, remodeling of the respiratory tract and hypersecretion of mucus.

Acinetobacter baumannii Outer Membrane Protein A Induces Pulmonary Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction and Bacterial Translocation Through The TLR2/IQGAP1 Axis

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Pulmonary epithelial barrier dysfunction is a critical pathophysiological process in pneumonia and associated invasive infections, such as those caused by Acinetobacter baumannii. However, the mechanisms underlying A.

Chloride channels regulate differentiation and barrier functions of the mammalian airway. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The conducting airway forms a protective mucosal barrier and is the primary target of airway disorders. The molecular events required for the formation and function of the airway mucosal barrier, as well as the mechanisms by which barrier dysfunction ...
