Abstract

The airway epithelium plays an important role in wound repair, host defense and is involved in the immunopathogenesis of asthma. Genome wide association studies have described associations between ST2/Interleukin (IL)-33 genes in asthma, but its role in bronchial epithelium is unclear. ST2 expression was examined in subjects with asthma and healthy controls in bronchial epithelium from biopsies (n = 27 versus n = 9) and brushings (n = 34 versus n = 20) by immunohistochemistry and RNA-Seq. In human primary bronchial epithelial cells ST2 mRNA and protein expression were assessed by qPCR, flow cytometry, Western blotting, and immunofluorescence. IL-33 function in epithelial cells was examined by intracellular calcium measurements, wound healing assays, and synthetic activation by gene array and ELISA. Bronchial epithelial ST2 protein expression was significantly decreased in biopsies in subjects with asthma compared to healthy controls (P = .039). IL1RL1 gene expression in bronchial brushes was not different between health and disease. In vitro primary bronchial epithelial cells expressed ST2 and IL-33 stimulation led to an increase in intracellular calcium, altered gene expression, but had no effect upon wound repair. Epithelial ...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.
