Pulmonary immune cells in health and disease: the eosinophil leucocyte (Part II).
نویسندگان
چکیده
The second part of this review on eosinophils focuses on biological cell functions and surveys the various deleterious mechanisms involved in the eosinophil-dominated inflammatory reaction. It discusses the possible pathogenic role of eosinophils in several eosinophil-related diseases, such as parasitic infections, interstitial lung disorders and bronchial diseases, such as parasitic infections, interstitial lung disorders and bronchial diseases, graft rejection, vasculitic granulomatous disorders, pleural effusion, and bronchogenic tumours. The final section of the article highlights the possible recent pharmacological and future therapeutic approaches in modifying eosinophil recruitment and function.

Pulmonary immune cells in health and disease: the eosinophil leucocyte (Part I).
Increasing evidence has accumulated to suggest that eosinophils play a key role in the pathogenesis of asthma and other pulmonary diseases by damaging infiltrated bronchial tissue and lung parenchyma. The first part of this review on eosinophils describes the cellular characteristics and properties of the cell, which help in understanding its role in disease. The article focuses on origin, matu...
متن کاملA Concept Suggestion on the Effect of Cigarette Smoking in Inflammatory Destruction of Gingiva
Dear Editor, Cigarette smoking has destructive effect on periodontal tissue. The rates of loss of periodontal attachment and recession of gingival are higher in smokers than non-smokers (1-2). Previous studies on the inflammatory immune responses in smokers’ periodontitis have mainly focused on the role of neutrophils. Tumor necrosis factor–α, prostaglandin E2 and matrix metalloproteinase...
متن کاملThe Role of Interleukin (IL-22) in immune response to human diseases
Background and aims: IL-22 is an alpha- helical cytokine. IL-22 binds to a heterodimeric cell surface receptor composed of IL-10R2 and IL-22R1subunits. IL-22R is expressed on tissue cells, and it is absent on immune cells. L-22 and IL-10 receptor chains play a role in cellular targeting and signal transduction to selectively initiate and regulate immune responses. The aim of this study was to i...
متن کاملA Review of The Role of The Microbiome on Immune Responses and Its Association With Cystic Fibrosis
In recent years, the microbiome has been recognized as a key regulator of immune responses. Evidence suggests that changes in the microbiome can lead to chronic disease and even exacerbation of the disease. Impairment of innate immunity resulting from microbial incompatibility may worsen host susceptibility to infection and exacerbate chronic lung diseases. Specific microbes play a key role in ...
متن کاملP-164: Human Leukocyte Antigen Class Ib and Pregnancy Success
Background: During pregnancy, the maternal immune system is in close contact with cells and tissue from the semiallogenic fetus .The Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) class Ib molecules, HLA-E, -F and -G, are expressed at the materno-fetal interface. Because of the apparent immunoregulatory functions of these proteins, they may be involved in successful acceptance of the semi-allogenic fetus during...
