Caspase-1 deficiency reduces eosinophilia and interleukin-33 in an asthma exacerbation model
Rhinovirus infections are common triggers of asthma exacerbations. Viruses can activate the inflammasome, resulting in processing and activation of caspase-1. This recruitment triggers production of interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18, which have been implicated in asthma. Elucidating the involvement of the inflammasome and its compartments, such as caspase-1, in asthma exacerbations is warranted. Ge...
متن کاملAssociation of rhinovirus infections with asthma.
Rhinoviruses are the most common cause of the common cold, but they can cause more severe illnesses in people with underlying lung disorders such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or cystic fibrosis. Epidemiologic studies with sensitive detection methods such as PCR have identified rhinovirus infection as a major source of asthma exacerbations in both children and adults, especi...
متن کاملRole of rhinovirus infections in asthma.
Human rhinoviruses are not only the main pathogens responsible for the common cold, but are now recognized to have a major impact on asthma pathogenesis. There is evidence that rhinovirus infections play a role in asthma development, asthma exacerbations and, potentially, airway remodeling. Children who experience repeated rhinovirus-induced wheezing episodes in infancy have a significantly inc...
متن کاملInterleukin-33 Drives Activation of Alveolar Macrophages and Airway Inflammation in a Mouse Model of Acute Exacerbation of Chronic Asthma
We investigated the role of interleukin-33 (IL-33) in airway inflammation in an experimental model of an acute exacerbation of chronic asthma, which reproduces many of the features of the human disease. Systemically sensitized female BALB/c mice were challenged with a low mass concentration of aerosolized ovalbumin for 4 weeks to induce chronic asthmatic inflammation and then received a single ...
متن کاملThe treatment of rhinovirus infections: progress and potential.
The common cold is an important illness both as a result of the economic impact of this common disease and because of the morbidity associated with the complications of the illness. Recent attempts to develop antiviral treatments for the common cold represent a substantial advance over previous efforts. Formidable barriers remain to be overcome, however, before any of these new products will be...
