Abstract:
Allergic airway inflammation is manifested as infiltration of CD4+ T cells and eosinophils in the airway,increased secretion of mucus,airway hyper-reactivity and airway remodeling.IL-25 is a member of the IL-17 family,which can promote and exacerbate Th2 cytokine-mediated airway inflammation after binding to its receptor IL-17RB.The increased IL-25 can induce the secretion of Th2 cytokines,including IL-4,IL-5 and IL-13,which may result in the local infiltration of eosinophils,airway hyperreactivity and therefore the injury of airway.As IL-25 plays an important role in allergic airway inflammation,the present paper would focus on the relationship between IL-25 and allergic airway inflammation.
