IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Objective Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)–associated vasculitis often leads to severe kidney damage. To better understand ANCA‐associated glomerulonephritis (AAGN) and identify potential new therapeutic targets, we performed comprehensive transcriptomic and compartmental proteomic analysis of kidney biopsies from 23 patients in the ...
