Abstract
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an alarmin cytokine activated by allergens, pathogens, and air pollutants. Recent studies suggest TSLP dysregulation in chronic inflammatory diseases. It was highlighted as a key player in the context of asthma-associated mucosal immunity. This study investigated the production and localization of TSLP and its receptors in airway epithelial cells and the related inflammatory response in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and non-COPD patients. TSLP transcripts and proteins were detected in epithelial cells but were not abundant at a steady state. The secretion of airway inflammatory mediators was altered in COPD in association with TSLP production. The cellular and molecular characterization of TSLP signaling may identify COPD patients that could benefit from anti-alarmin therapeutic approaches.
期刊介绍:
The European Journal of Immunology (EJI) is an official journal of EFIS. Established in 1971, EJI continues to serve the needs of the global immunology community covering basic, translational and clinical research, ranging from adaptive and innate immunity through to vaccines and immunotherapy, cancer, autoimmunity, allergy and more. Mechanistic insights and thought-provoking immunological findings are of interest, as are studies using the latest omics technologies. We offer fast track review for competitive situations, including recently scooped papers, format free submission, transparent and fair peer review and more as detailed in our policies.
