Crohn's disease: Th1, Th17 or both? The change of a paradigm: new immunological and genetic insights implicate Th17 cells in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease [PDF]

, 2009
Traditionally, Crohn's disease has been associated with a Th1 cytokine profile, while Th2 cytokines are modulators of ulcerative colitis. This concept has been challenged by the description of tolerising regulatory T cells (Treg) and by proinflammatory ...

Club cell-derived brain-derived neurotrophic factor regulates murine airway mechanics and mucin production in response to IL-13 in a sex-dependent manner

Frontiers in Physiology
IntroductionBrain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a neural plasticity molecule that is increasingly recognized for its role in airway pathophysiology, including diseases like asthma.

Tick-Borne Encephalitis Specific Lymphocyte Response after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Predicts Humoral Immunity after Vaccination

Vaccines, 2021
The aim of this prospective study was to assess lymphocyte proliferative and cytokine response prior to and following tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) immunization among patients after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).

Anti-aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase-interacting multifunctional protein-1 antibody improves airway inflammation in mice with house dust mite induced asthma

World Allergy Organization Journal
Background: Several biologics have been developed and used to treat severe asthma. However, commercialized biologics have limitations in treating T2-low asthma because their main target is the T2 inflammation marker. Therefore, there is an unmet need for

Searching for Noninvasive Predictors of the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Eosinophilic Esophagitis—The Importance of Biomarkers of the Inflammatory Reaction Involving Eosinophils

Biomolecules, 2021
Background: Invasive and costly endoscopic diagnosis is obligatory for the diagnosis and monitoring of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). This study aims to evaluate the usefulness of serum biomarkers involved in eosinophil-mediated inflammation in the ...

Decreased Interleukin-4 Release from the Neurons of the Locus Coeruleus in Response to Immobilization Stress [PDF]

, 2016
It has been demonstrated that immobilization (IMO) stress affects neuroimmune systems followed by alterations of physiology and behavior. Interleukin-4 (IL-4), an anti-inflammatory cytokine, is known to regulate inflammation caused by immune challenge ...

In vitro initial immune response against Leishmania amazonensis infection is characterized by an increased production of IL-10 and IL-13

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
The initial encounter of Leishmania with its host's immune system is important in the outcome of infection. Previous studies have shown that PBMCs from healthy volunteers (HV) exposed to Leishmania differ in IFN-γ production.

Lack of association between interleukin 13, interleukin 4 receptor alpha, andMS4A2 gene polymorphisms and asthma in adult Saudis

Journal of Nature and Science of Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Several genes, including interleukin-13 (IL13), MS4A2, and IL 4 receptor alpha (IL4Rα), have been shown to associate with the inflammatory process in asthma.

Th17 Lymphocytes in Respiratory Syncytial Virus Infection

Viruses, 2013
Infection by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) affects approximately 33 million infants annually worldwide and is a major cause of hospitalizations. Helper T lymphocytes (Th) play a central role in the immune response during such infections.

Interleukin‐4 and interleukin‐13 evoke scratching behaviour in mice [PDF]

Experimental Dermatology, 2019
AbstractPersistent and relapsing itch commonly manifests in inflammatory skin disorders such as atopic dermatitis (AD). AD pathogenesis is driven by interleukin‐4 (IL‐4) and interleukin‐13 (IL‐13). Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody blocking the action of IL‐4 and IL‐13 effectively reduces the symptoms of AD and itch.
