Die Rolle von IL-4 und IL-13 in Maus-Modellen für allergische Erkrankungen
IL-4 und IL-13 sind wichtige Faktoren bei der Entwicklung allergischer Erkrankungen. In dieser Arbeit wird die Rolle von IL-4 und IL-13 in einem Maus-Modell für allergisches Asthma während der allergischen Sensibilisierung und in einer etablierten asthmatischen Erkrankung untersucht. Weiterhin wird …

Investigating the role of IL-4/IL-13 and their receptors in ulcerative colitis
… limited to the distal colon and mixed neutrophil/lymphocyte infiltration in the superficial layer of the mucosa. The Th2 cytokines interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-13 are associated with the onset of oxazolone colitis and both signal through a common IL-4 receptor-alpha chain (IL-4R +-). Neutralizing …

The role of IL-4 and IL-13 responsiveness during Schistosoma mansoni induced inflammation
… the host’s survival. Where as T cell-specific IL-4Rα has been shown not to be essential for survival, macrophage/neutrophil-specific IL-4 receptor α-deficient mice (LysMIcre L-4Rα-/lox ), mice lacking alternative macrophages (AAMФ), had severe intestine pathology and high endotoxin levels due …

IL-4/IL-13-inducible lincRNA-MIR99AHG regulates macrophage polarization and promotes intracellular survival of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
… (TB) caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) kills 1.6 million people worldwide every year, and there is an urgent need for targeting host-pathogen interactions as a strategy to reduce mycobacterial resistance to current antimicrobials. Non-coding RNAs are emerging as important regulators of …

Investigating the role of CD28 costimulation and IL-4/IL-13 responsive myeloid and lymphoid cells during helminth infections in mice
… primary and secondary infections with N. brasiliensis. Our findings demonstrate that CD28 is required for initiation of protective Th2 immunity against primary infection with N. brasiliensis. Furthermore, the absence of CD28 impairs development of memory CD4⁺ T cell responses resulting in …

Immune and allergic responses to Anisakis pegreffii, with focus on the roles of IL-4, IL-13 and the IL-4 receptor alpha
… and allergic responses to A. pegreffii in wildtype and gene deficient mice, with special focus on interleukin(IL)-4, IL-13, and the IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα). Experimental murine models of Anisakis infection, Anisakis-induced anaphylaxis and Anisakis-induced dermatitis were established in …

The role of IL-4 and IL-13 in pulmonary tuberculosis using gene-deficient mice and protective efficacy of the purine-deficient auxotroph of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Absence of the TH2 inducing cytokine IL-4 has been shown not to increase the TH1 response and resistance to mycobacterial infection. This study asked whether the combined absence of IL-4 and IL3, as compared to IL-4 deficiency only, would increase resistance to an aerogenic Mycobacterium …

Investigating the role of IL-4/IL-13 signalling through the IL-4 receptor alpha (IL-4Rα) on keratinocytes in murine models of Leishmania major and Schistosoma mansoni
… is important during the parasite life cycle. While Th1 immunity is required to control CL, protection during schistosomiasis requires Th2 immunity. Paradoxically, Th2 characteristic IL-4 secreted early during L. major infection in mice, can drive a Th1 response by instructing dendritic cells to …

TL1A Priming Induces a Multi-Cytokine Th9 Cell Phenotype That Promotes Robust Allergic Inflammation in Murine Models of Asthma
The TNF superfamily member TL1A is a costimulatory molecule that signals through its receptor DR3 on T lymphocytes. The Th9 subset of T lymphocytes secretes the pleiotropic cytokine IL-9 which has functions in allergic airway disease, helminth infections, and tumor immunity. TL1A increases IL-9 …

Charakterisierung der allergischen Immunantwort : Vergleich der in-vitro Zytokinproduktion isolierter mononukleärer Zellen und der in-vitro Zytokinproduktion aus Vollblutproben bei Neonaten und Erwachsenen
… wurden die Konzentrationen der Zytokine IFN-g, IL-10 und IL-13 mittels ELISA quantifiziert. <br>Bei den Neonaten wurden sowohl nach PHA -, als auch BLG-Stimulation signifikant niedrigere IFN-g (MC: PHA 588 pg/ml; BLG 819 pg/ml) - und IL-10-Werte (MC: PHA 485,7 pg/ml; BLG 163,4 pg/ml) gefunden, …

Transcriptomic phenotyping of the macrophage response to filarial nematode infection
… are characterized, amongst other things, by IL-4 and IL-13 production from CD4* Th2 cells. IL-4 and IL-13 induce alternatively activated macrophages (AAMΦ) via their action on the IL-4Rα receptor subunit. AAMΦ are also implicated in numerous other diseases such as fibrosis, allergy, cancer …

Longitudinal relationships between family routines and biological profiles in youth with asthma
While numerous studies have linked family routines to pediatric asthma outcomes, it remains unclear how family routines come to be associated with these outcomes on a biological level. The current study investigated whether longitudinal trajectories of inflammatory markers of asthma could be …

Major traumatic injury : serum cytokine biomarkers as predictors of poor clinical outcome

Targeting pro-inflammatory mediators to treat visceral pain
… of cultured DRG neurons, I first examined the ability of several mast cell mediators to activate sensory neurons. I observed that mast-cell derived cytokines (TNFα & IL-4), lipids (PGD2 & LTC4) and growth factors (NGF & SCF) all increased [Ca2+]i in distinct populations of DRG neurons, the …

The role and host-directed targeting of long non-coding RNAs in macrophage polarization during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection
… World Health Organization (WHO) reported 1.5 million tuberculosis (TB)- associated deaths and an incidence of 10 million new cases. The causative, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), evades host immune responses by skewing macrophage polarization towards a less microbicidal alternative state to …

Maternal Serum and Whey Immune Markers and Eczema Among Infants
<p>Eczema among children and its relation to maternal whey and serum immune markers are considered to either de- or increase risk of the skin disorder. We conducted a prospective study to contrast the role of different maternal immune markers (MIMs) in maternal serum and whey on the development of …
