Interleukin-13 enhanced Ca2+ oscillations in airway smooth muscle cells

Abstract: Physiological mechanisms associated with interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key cytokine in asthma, in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess effects of IL-13 on Ca(2+) oscillations in response to leukotriene D4 (LTD4) in human cultured ASMCs. LTD4-induced Ca(2+) oscillations in ASMCs pretreated with IL-13 were imaged by confocal microscopy. mRNA expressions of cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptors (CysLT1R), CD38, involved with the ryanodine… Show more

“…In vitro studies, using airway smooth muscle cells of humans and rodents, have shown that IL-13 increases the contractility of smooth muscle, via enhancing Ca 2+ oscillations of airway smooth muscle cells, thus implying a direct stimulatory effect of IL-13 on airway smooth cells [2830]. In addition, IL-13 was shown to increase the affinity of smooth muscle for acetylcholine released from cholinergic nerves [31].…”

“…Ca 2+ influx via SOC channels contributes to PDGFinduced cell migration of airway smooth muscle [166], and increasing [Ca 2+ ] i via other mechanisms also causes substance P-induced cell migration of airway smooth muscle [167] ( Figure 5). Since IL-13 enhances Ca 2+ oscillation in airway smooth muscle cells, cell migration induced by IL-13 may be regulated by Ca 2+ dynamics [168].…”

“…These cytokines play pivotal roles in the pathogenesis of AHR. For example, IL-13 enhances calcium oscillation in airway smooth muscle, and inhibition of IL-13 completely blocks airway hyperreactivity in mouse asthma models (2,7). IL-5 is a key factor for eosinophilia and could therefore be responsible for some of the tissue damage seen in chronic asthma (3).…”
