Human eosinophil isolation and the measurement of apoptosis.

Methods in molecular medicine

Kankaanranta H, de Souza PM, Giembycz MA, Lindsay MA.

Methods Mol Med. 2000;44:99-110. doi: 10.1385/1-59259-072-1:99.

Eosinophils have been implicated in allergic diseases, such as bronchial asthma, which is characterized by elevated eosinophil numbers in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and peripheral blood. Their accumulation and activation within the airway mucosa is thought to cause tissue...

Dual Transmembrane Signalling Mechanisms in Eosinophils: Evidence for Two Functionally Distinct Receptors for Platelet-Activating Factor.

The effect of PAF on eosinophil activation was investigated. TxB2 release required a lower concentration of PAF (ED50 = 17.2 nM) whereas for superoxide anion (O2) production doses in excess of 1 μM (ED50 = 31.7 μM) were needed....

BACKGROUND: Asthma exacerbations are associated with the recruitment of neutrophils to the lungs. These cells release proteases and mediators, many of which act at G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that couple via Gq to promote bronchoconstriction and inflammation. Common asthma...

MAP Kinase Expression in Eosinophils.

The mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK) are an expanding family of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases that are activated, following their dual phosphorylation at conserved threonine and tyrosine residues, by a family of MAPK kinases (MEK). Presently, the MAPK family can be...

Potential mechanisms to explain how LABAs and PDE4 inhibitors enhance the clinical efficacy of glucocorticoids in inflammatory lung diseases.

F1000Prime Rep. 2015 Feb 03;7:16. doi: 10.12703/P7-16. eCollection 2015.

Inhaled glucocorticoids acting via the glucocorticoid receptor are a mainstay treatment option for individuals with asthma. There is a consensus that the remedial actions of inhaled glucocorticoids are due to their ability to suppress inflammation by modulating gene expression....
