IL-36α, IL-36β and IL-36γ are cytokine members of IL-1 family. Although IL-36 expression was observed in human lung during pulmonary infections, it remains unknown whether IL-36 could act directly on lung tissue cells during pulmonary inflammatory responses. In this study, we showed that IL-36 receptor was expressed in human lung fibroblasts and bronchial epithelial cells. Correspondingly, IL-36α,...
To evaluate the expression and role of serum CXC chemokine ligand 13 (CXCL13) and cytokine IL-31 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients.A case-control study including preoperative serum samples of 78 patients with HCC, 78 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and 36 healthy controls (HCs) was conducted. The levels of serum CXCL13 and IL-31 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays...
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the leading cause of antibiotic- and healthcare-associated diarrhea. CXCL13 is a well-known CXC chemokine involved in inflammation, but its role in CDI remains unknown. In this study, serum and fecal samplings were collected from 51 CDI patients, 50 diarrhea patients without CDI and 50 healthy control subjects to determine the CXCL13 levels by enzyme-linked...
Although mast cells have been found in increased numbers in bronchial epithelium in asthma patients, the pathogenic role of the interaction of mast cells with bronchial epithelial cells in the development of local inflammation in asthma is not well understood.In this study, primary human bronchial epithelial cells and a human mast cell line (HMC-1) were cultured either together or separately in the...
