The role of airway epithelial cells and innate immune cells in chronic respiratory disease

Abstract: An abnormal immune response to environmental agents is generally thought to be responsible for causing chronic respiratory diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Based on studies of experimental models and human subjects, there is increasing evidence that the response of the innate immune system is crucial for the development of this type of airway disease. Airway epithelial cells and innate immune cells represent key components of the pathogenesis of chronic airway disease … Show more

“…While many forms of asthma are successfully managed with current treatments with corticosteroids and/or bronchodilators, many asthmatics still suffer from poor management due to steroid resistance or life-threatening exacerbations (1,2). Asthma is commonly viewed as a disease dominated by enhanced adaptive immune responses leading to eosinophilic inflammation, but recent evidence indicates that innate immune responses originating from the respiratory epithelium contribute importantly to enhanced inflammation as well as mucous metaplasia and airway remodeling, which are important hallmarks of allergic asthma (3,4). Moreover, genetic or epigenetic alterations contribute to an altered respiratory epithelium, which is hyperreactive to allergen challenges and thereby mediates exaggerated responses to allergens during exacerbations (3,5).…”

“…Other cytokines such as IL‐4, IL‐9, IL‐25, and IL‐33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, as well as other cytokine‐producing cells such as type 2 innate lymphoid cells, eosinophils, airway epithelial cells, and mast cells (within tissue) also play important roles in mediating HDM‐induced immune response 20, 28, 29, 30.…”

“…Cuando se buscaron intencionadamente en tejido post mortem de individuos previamente sanos, las ILC se encontraron cerca de los mastocitos en los pulmones. 45,100 En ratones, las ILC-2 que han tenido contacto previo con un alérgeno responden con una producción más rápida de IL-5 e IL-13 ante un nuevo contacto con el alérgeno, en comparación con los linfocitos Th2.…”
