Leukotriene D4 and interleukin-13 cooperate to increase the release of eotaxin-3 by airway epithelial cells.
Airway epithelial cells play a central role in the physiopathology of asthma. They release eotaxins when treated with T(H)2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, and these chemokines attract eosinophils and potentiate the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs), which in turn induce...

Airway epithelial cells play a central role in the physiopathology of asthma. They release eotaxins when treated with T(H)2 cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4 or IL-13, and these chemokines attract eosinophils and potentiate the biosynthesis of cysteinyl leukotrienes (cysLTs), which in turn induce bronchoconstriction and mucus secretion. These effects of cysLTs mainly mediated by CysLT(1) and CysLT(2) receptors on epithelial cell functions remain largely undefined. Because the release of inflammatory cytokines, eotaxins, and cysLTs occur relatively at the same time and location in the lung tissue, we hypothesized that they regulate inflammation cooperatively rather than redundantly. We therefore investigated whether cysLTs and the T(H)2 cytokines would act in concert to augment the release of eotaxins by airway epithelial cells.A549 cells or human primary bronchial epithelial cells were incubated with or without IL-4, IL-13, and/or LTD(4).
