Thymic stromal lymphopoietin expression is increased in asthmatic airways and correlates with expression of Th2-attracting chemokines and disease severity.

TL;DR: The data implicate TSLP, TARC/ CCL17, MDC/CCL22, and IP-10/CXCL10 in asthma pathogenesis, which may act partly through selective development and retention, or recruitment of Th2 cells bearing their receptors.

Expression and Cellular Provenance of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin and Chemokines in Patients with Severe Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Sun Ying,Brian J. O'Connor,Jonathan Ratoff,Qiu Meng,Cailong Fang,David J. Cousins,Guizhen Zhang,Shuyan Gu,Zhongli Gao,Betty Shamji,Matthew J. Edwards,Tak H. Lee,Christopher Corrigan +12 more
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that there is distinct airways expression of TSLP and chemokines which preferentially attract Th1- and Th2-type T cells, and influx of T cells bearing their receptors in asthma and COPD.
Increases in Activated T Lymphocytes, Eosinophils, and Cytokine mRNA Expression for Interleukin-5 and Granulocyte/Macrophage Colony-stimulating Factor in Bronchial Biopsies after Allergen Inhalation Challenge in Atopic Asthmatics
TL;DR: The view that cytokines possibly from activated T lymphocytes may contribute to local eosinophil accumulation during allergen-induced asthma is supported.

Prednisolone treatment in asthma. Reduction in the numbers of eosinophils, T cells, tryptase-only positive mast cells, and modulation of IL-4, IL-5, and interferon-gamma cytokine gene expression within the bronchial mucosa.

TL;DR: The view that corticosteroid treatment in asthma may act by modulation of cytokine expression with consequent inhibition of the local bronchial inflammatory infiltrate and tissue eosinophilia is supported.

Relationships among numbers of bronchoalveolar lavage cells expressing messenger ribonucleic acid for cytokines, asthma symptoms, and airway methacholine responsiveness in atopic asthma☆

TL;DR: The hypothesis that cytokines contribute to airway events that determine asthma symptoms and BHR is supported.
