Interleukin-5 induces CD34(+) eosinophil progenitor mobilization and eosinophil CCR3 expression in asthma.
Asthma is characterized by the accumulation of activated T cells and eosinophils within the airway. Eosinophils derive from CD34(+) bone marrow progenitor cells under the influence of hematopoietic growth factors, subsequently migrating to the airways under the cooperative influence of interleukin (IL)-5 and chemokines, including eotaxin. We compared the relative effects of systemic versus loca...
متن کاملDifferential regulation of eosinophil chemokine signaling via CCR3 and non-CCR3 pathways.
To investigate eosinophil stimulation by chemokines we developed a sensitive assay of leukocyte shape change, the gated autofluorescence/forward scatter assay. Leukocyte shape change responses are mediated through rearrangements of the cellular cytoskeleton in a dynamic process typically resulting in a polarized cell and are essential to the processes of leukocyte migration from the microcircul...
متن کاملVisual toxicity of synthetic retinoids.
Twelve patients treated with isotretinoin, a synthetic vitamin A analogue, were assessed before, during, and after therapy. Significant falls occurred in the amplitude of the a waves of the scotopic electroretinogram.
متن کاملIL-16 activates plasminogen-plasmin system and promotes human eosinophil migration into extracellular matrix via CCR3-chemokine-mediated signaling and by modulating CD4 eosinophil expression.
Increased eosinophil counts are a major feature of asthmatic airways. Eosinophil recruitment requires migration through epithelium and tissue extracellular matrix by activation of proteases. We assessed the capacity of IL-16, a CD4(+) cell chemotactic factor, to induce migration of eosinophils through a reconstituted basement membrane and evaluated the proteases, mediators, and receptors involv...
متن کاملCXCL9 inhibits eosinophil responses by a CCR3- and Rac2-dependent mechanism.
Recently, inhibitory cytokine pathways for leukocyte chemoattraction and activation have been identified, but there is little insight into the operational mechanisms except for models that rely on simple receptor antagonism. We have previously identified the existence of a murine eosinophil inhibitory pathway mediated by the CXC chemokine ligand 9 (CXCL9, Mig [monokine induced by interferon-gam...
