“…IL-4 but not IL-13 reduces cord blood progenitor cell Eo/B differentiation in response to LPS and this process is dependent on IL-4R signaling. 27 Simple allergy triggering seems not the only action taken by IL-4. There are studies in cancer in which the expression of IL-4 pathway genes was shown to change depending on disease status.…”
The regulation of IL-4RA gene expression is complex and probably influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, such as farming exposures, which could provide the counterbalance to atopy.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
