Inhibition of Allergic Bronchial Asthma by Thrombomodulin Is Mediated by Dendritic Cells

Abstract: the results of this study show that TM is a modulator of DC immunostimulatory properties and a novel candidate drug for the prevention of bronchial asthma in atopic patients.

“…TM occupies a central role in the regulation of coagulation and inflammation, with responsibility for its specific functions relying on the integrity of its distinct structural domains. Thus, the EGF-like repeats provide cofactor activity for thrombin-mediated activation of protein C and TAFI, resulting in dampening of coagulation, fibrinolysis and complement, while the N-terminal lectin-like domain exhibits a number of anti-inflammatory properties [5][6][7]. Using mouse models to study the host response to bacterial pneumonia, we have previously investigated the role of the EGF-like repeat of TM, which is responsible for protein C activation.…”

“…Thrombomodulin (TM) CD141 is a transmembrane, multidomain glycoprotein receptor that is expressed predominantly on vascular endothelial cells, but also on monocytes, neutrophils, osteoblasts, synovial cells and dendritic cells [5][6][7]. TM exhibits several distinct properties in coagulation, fibrinolysis, innate immunity and inflammation that are based largely on its distinct structural domains.…”

“…The purity of eosinophils was more than 90%. Under pentobarbital anesthesia, mice received intra-tracheally either bone marrow-derived eosinophils (2610 6 /cells in 100 ml saline) or sterile saline (100 ml) on day 0, 7 and 14; for intratracheal instillation, we used high number of eosinophils because we have previously detected between 1 to 2610 6 eosinophils in mouse models of bronchial asthma [34]. Mice were sacrificed and samples were taken either on day 9 or 21 for subsequent analysis.…”
