Abstract

Patients with allergic asthma have symptoms of a predominant T(H)2 response, including airway eosinophilic inflammation and increased mucous production in the lungs. This accompanies increased airways responsiveness, which can be life threatening. Because T(H)2 cells and cytokines have been implicated in contributing to these symptoms, pathways that control the development of these cells or that regulate their cytokine production represent good targets for controlling this disease. We have previously shown that mice lacking the tyrosine kinase inducible T-cell kinase (ITK) have drastically reduced airway inflammation in a model of allergic asthma. However, it was not clear whether this translated into reduced airways hyperresponsiveness. We have analyzed tracheal responsiveness and airways hyperresponsiveness of wild-type (WT) and ITK null mice during induction of experimental allergic asthma. Experimental allergic asthma was induced in WT and ITK knockout mice. Tracheal responses to carbachol, acetylcholine, and potassium chloride were analyzed. Airways hyperresponsiveness to methacholine challenge was also analyzed in allergen-challenged mice, along with lung and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid T(H)2 cytokine message and protein...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
