Epithelial-Derived Cytokines in Asthma
Abstract
The interaction between the airway epithelium and the inhaled environment is crucial to understanding the pathobiology of asthma. Several studies have identified an important role of airway epithelial-derived cytokines, IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in asthma pathogenesis. These cytokines have been described as epithelial-derived alarmins that activate and potentiate the innate and humoral arms of the immune system in …
