immune system
• bronchoalveolar lavage fluid contains much less macrophages compared to controls 4 days after administration of IL-25 or IL-17
|
• bronchoalveolar lavage fluid contains much less eosinophils compared to controls 4 days after administration of IL-25 or IL-17
|
• bronchoalveolar lavage fluid contains much less neutrophils compared to controls 4 days after administration of IL-25 or IL-17
|
• GM-CSF secretion by embryonic fibroblasts is lower than controls, especially when cultured with IL-17 or TNF + IL-17
|
• there is lower IL-6 secretion by embryonic fibroblasts than controls, especially when cultured with IL-17 or TNF + IL-17
|
• intranasal administration of IL-25 to wild-type mice leads to an inflammatory airway response similar to asthma with increased secretion of Th2 cytokines, mucus hypersecretion, goblet cell hyperplasia, infiltration of inflammatory cells, collagen deposition around bronchioles, and hyperesponsiveness to methacholine
• IL-25 intranasal treatment fails to increase levels of the Th2 cytokines CCL24, IL-5 and IL-13 in the lung as occurs in wild-type controls
• in response to intranasal administration of IL-25, mutant mice have no goblet cell hyperplasia or mucus hypersecretion compared to 40% of treated wild-type mice
• infiltration of inflammatory cells and collagen deposition around bronchioles are readily apparent in IL-25-treated mice, but not in mutant mice
• mutant mice in the asthma model are not hyperresponsive to methacholine treatment as are wild-type mice
