IL-33 mediates multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT)-induced airway hyper-reactivity via the mobilization of innate helper cells in the lung

Abstract: Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the airway associated with bronchial obstruction, airway hyper-reactivity (AHR), and mucus production. The epithelium may direct and propagate asthmatic-like responses. Central to this theory is the observation that viruses, air pollution, and allergens promote epithelial damage and trigger the generation of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP via innate pathways such as TLRs and purinergic receptors. Similarly, engineered nanomaterials promote a Th2-associated pathophy… Show more

“…In addition, a blocking anti‐ST2 antibody or an isotype‐matched control antibody were used during feeding of the diet in ApoE −/− mice (ApoE −/− , anti‐ST2 or ApoE −/− , isotype control). Efficacy of the blocking anti‐ST2 antibody was demonstrated previously 12, 13. At the beginning of the cholesterol‐rich diet, body weight was not different between the groups (Supporting Information Table S1), but there was some variation of serum total cholesterol levels between the groups.…”

“…For example, alveolar macrophages and the pulmonary epithelium play a crucial role in immune responses induced by pulmonary exposure to CBN, 13,[23][24][25] whereas iv administration of CBN may initiate an immune response through the activation of circulating leukocytes. 26 Our previous studies demonstrated that MWCNT instilled through oropharyngeal aspiration induces IL-33 production in the lung.…”

“…A targeting construct that replaced exons 1-6 was injected into 129 ES cells, and chimeras were backcrossed onto the C57BL/6 background >10 generations and confirmed using a 377 SNP panel for microsatellite analysis. All experiments were conducted with age-and sexmatched WT or IL-33-deficient mice on a C57BL/6 background obtained from Taconic and have been described elsewhere (51). N. brasiliensis was maintained in the laboratory using established protocols (23).…”
