Periostin: a novel component of subepithelial fibrosis of bronchial asthma downstream of IL-4 and IL-13 signals.
BACKGROUND Subepithelial fibrosis is a cardinal feature of bronchial asthma. Collagen I, III, and V; fibronectin; and tenascin-C are deposited in the lamina reticularis. Extensive evidence supports… Expand

Prostaglandin D2 as a mediator of allergic asthma.
Allergic asthma is caused by the aberrant expansion in the lung of T helper cells that produce type 2 (TH2) cytokines and is characterized by infiltration of eosinophils and bronchial… Expand

Involvement of Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase in FcεRI-dependent Mast Cell Degranulation and Cytokine Production
We investigated the role of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (Btk) in FcεRI-dependent activation of mouse mast cells, using xid and btk null mutant mice. Unlike B cell development, mast cell development is… Expand

The Orally Available Spleen Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor 2-[7-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)-imidazo[1,2-c]pyrimidin-5-ylamino]nicotinamide Dihydrochloride (BAY 61-3606) Blocks Antigen-Induced Airway…
Spleen tyrosine kinase (Syk) tyrosine kinase plays essential roles in receptors for Fc portion of immunoglobulins and B cell receptor complex signaling in various inflammatory cells; therefore,… Expand

Identification of Pendrin as a Common Mediator for Mucus Production in Bronchial Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease1
Excessive production of airway mucus is a cardinal feature of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and contributes to morbidity and mortality in these diseases. IL-13, a… Expand

An Essential Role of Mast Cells in the Development of Airway Hyperresponsiveness in a Murine Asthma Model
Immunization of BALB/c mice with alum-adsorbed OVA, followed by three bronchoprovocations with aerosolized OVA, resulted in the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and allergic… Expand

Role of interleukin-5 and eosinophils in allergen-induced airway remodeling in mice.
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by variable bronchial obstruction, hyperresponsiveness, and by tissue damage known as airway remodeling. In the present study we demonstrate… Expand

Augmentation of allergic inflammation in prostanoid IP receptor deficient mice
To evaluate the role of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) in allergic inflammation, allergic responses in the airway, skin and T cells were studied in mice lacking the receptor for PGI2 (the prostanoid IP… Expand

Characterization of skin inflammation induced by repeated exposure of toluene, xylene, and formaldehyde in mice
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are considered the main cause of sick building syndrome and they are likely to irritate the skin, eyes, and mucous membrane; however, the toxic threshold and the… Expand

Suppression of allergic inflammation by the prostaglandin E receptor subtype EP3
Prostaglandins, including PGD2 and PGE2, are produced during allergic reactions. Although PGD2 is an important mediator of allergic responses, aspirin-like drugs that inhibit prostaglandin synthesis… Expand
