Physiological mechanisms associated with interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key cytokine in asthma, in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess effects of IL-13 on Ca(2+) oscillations in response to

Human 15-lipoxygenase-1 (15-LO-1) can metabolize arachidonic acid (ARA) into pro-inflammatory mediators such as the eoxins, 15-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HPETE), and 15-hydroxyeicosatetraenoyl-phosphatidylethanolamine. We have in this study investigated the formation of various lipid hydroperoxide by either purified 15-LO-1 or in the Hodgkin

Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) contribute to asthma pathogenesis, in part through cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLT1R). Recently discovered lineage-negative type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) potently produce IL-5 and IL-13. We hypothesized that lung ILC2s might be activated by leukotrienes through

Both leukotriene D(4) (LTD(4)) and methacholine bronchial provocation tests are measurements of airway responsiveness; however, their correlation and distinction remain unexplored. We sought to compare the 2 tests and classify leukotriene-responsiveness subtypes in asthmatic patients. In this randomized cross-over study

Leukotrienes are recognized as important mediators of the inflammatory process. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the role of noninflammatory cells in the regulation of the inflammatory process. To further increase our knowledge of this matter we have, in
