Alarmins differentially modulate airway contraction and relaxation of human small airways [PDF]
Alarmins, including Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Interleukins 33 and 25 (IL-33 and IL-25), contribute to the pathophysiology of allergic and nonallergic asthma by evoking exacerbations in response to allergens, viruses, and environmental ...

Distinct roles for thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 in experimental eosinophilic esophagitis [PDF]
Abstract Rationale Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) and IL-33 are alarmins implicated in EoE pathogenesis by activating multiple cells including mast cells (MCs). Whether TSLP or IL-33 have a role in EoE and whether their activities are distinct requires further investigation.

Roles of Interleukin‐31 in Allergen‐Driven Cough: Linking Protease‐Activated Receptor‐2 Activation and Vagal Ganglion Sensitization in a Dermatophagoides farinae‐Induced Asthma Model [PDF]
In a Dermatophagoides farinae‐induced asthma model, IL‐31 deficiency did not substantially alter airway inflammation or immune responses but prevented the allergen‐induced enhancement of PAR‐2 expression and responsiveness in vagal sensory neurons.

Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin and Cancer: Th2-Dependent and -Independent Mechanisms
The thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like cytokine originally cloned from a murine thymic stromal cell line, and subsequently a human homolog was identified using database search methods.

TSLP activates the production of IFN-γ via CD8-positive T cells in recurrent tonsillitis
The role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in chronic infection is not well understood. We report an increased number of cluster of differentiation 8 (CD8+ T) cells and higher expression of TSLP in the tonsil tissues of patients with recurrent ...

Characterization of the function of thymic stromal lymphopoietin in lymphopoiesis and lymph node organogenesis [PDF]
Interleukin (IL)-7 is a cytokine, which is crucial for the development of the murine immune system. It is required for lymphopoiesis and for the development of peripheral lymph nodes (LN). IL-7-/-mice have impaired B and T cell lymphopoiesis, decreased

Aire-dependent production of XCL1 mediates medullary accumulation of thymic dendritic cells and contributes to regulatory T cell development [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) in the thymus (tDCs) are predominantly accumulated in the medulla and contribute to the establishment of self-tolerance. However, how the medullary accumulation of tDCs is regulated and involved in self-tolerance is unclear. We show

Exacerbation of Allergic Diseases by Chemicals: Role of TSLP
Environmental chemicals, such as cigarette smoke and diesel exhaust, have been reported as risk factors that exacerbate allergic diseases. However, the exacerbation mechanisms induced by these chemicals are not yet fully understood.

Structure and antagonism of the receptor complex mediated by human TSLP in allergy and asthma
The pro-inflammatory cytokine thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a promising therapeutic target. Here the authors characterize the assembly mechanism of the receptor complex driven by human TSLP, and its antagonism by the monoclonal antibody ...

The role of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in allergic disorders [PDF]
The importance of the epithelium in initiating and controlling immune responses is becoming more appreciated. For example, allergen contact first occurs at mucosal sites exposed to the external environment, such as the skin, airways and gastrointestinal tract.
