Background
Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) plays an important role in promoting tumor survival, by manipulating the immune response and angiogenesis. However, the clinical significance of TSLP in gastric cancer is unclear.Methods
Immunohistochemistry was used to investigate TSLP expression in non-cancerous gastric mucosa and gastric cancer tissue from patients with gastric cancer. Serum TSLP levels were measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results
Tumors with TSLP expression were significantly larger than those without TSLP expression. TSLP expression was observed more frequently in advanced (T2/T3/T4) than in early (T1) gastric cancer and in stage 3/4 than in stage 1/2. Lymph node metastasis, liver metastasis, positive peritoneal lavage cytology, lymphatic invasion, and vascular invasion occurred significantly more often in TSLP-expressing than in non-expressing tumors. The prognosis of patients with TSLP-positive tumors was significantly worse than that of patients with TSLP-negative tumors. Patients with high serum TSLP concentrations also had a significantly worse prognosis than those with low concentrations. Multivariate analysis identified serum TSLP level as an independent prognostic indicator.Conclusion
TSLP is closely related to the progression of gastric cancer and may predict survival in these patients. 相似文献2.

Background Human thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is expressed in the human asthmatic lung and activates dendritic cells (DCs) to strongly induce proallergic T‐helper type 2 (Th2) cell responses, suggesting that TSLP plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of human asthma. Th2 cells are predominantly involved in mild asthma, whereas a mixture of Th1 and Th2 cells with neutrophilic inflammation, probably induced by Th17, affects more severe asthmatic disease. Exacerbation of asthmatic inflammation is often triggered by airway‐targeting RNA viral infection; virus‐derived double‐stranded RNA, Toll‐like receptor (TLR)3 ligand, activates bronchial epithelial cells to produce pro‐inflammatory mediators, including TSLP. Objective Because TSLPR‐expressing DCs express TLR3, we examined how the relationship between TSLP and TLR3 ligand stimulation influences DC activation. Methods CD11c+DCs purified from adult peripheral blood were cultured in TLR ligands containing media with or without TSLP and then co‐cultured with allogeneic naïve CD4+T cells. Results CD11c+ DCs responded to a combination of TSLP and TLR3 ligand, poly(I : C), to up‐regulate expression of the functional TSLP receptor and TLR3. Although TSLP alone did not induce IL‐23 production by DCs, poly(I : C) alone primed DCs for the production of IL‐23, and a combination of TSLP and poly(I : C) primed DCs for further production of IL‐23. The addition of poly(I : C) did not inhibit TSLP‐activated DCs to prime naïve CD4+ T cells to differentiate into inflammatory Th2 cells. Furthermore, DCs activated by a combination of TSLP and poly(I : C) primed more naïve CD4+ T cells to differentiate into Th17‐cytokine–producing cells with a central memory T cell phenotype compared with DCs activated by poly(I : C) alone. Conclusions These results suggest that through DC activation, human TSLP and TLR3 ligands promote differentiation of Th17 cells with the central memory T cell phenotype under Th2‐polarizing conditions. 相似文献

DCs and epithelial cell‐derived thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) have pivotal roles in allergic inflammation. TSLP stimulates myeloid DCs to express OX40‐ligand (OX40L) and CCL17, which trigger and maintain Th2 cell responses. We have previously shown that statins, which are HMG‐CoA reductase inhibitors, have the ability to suppress type I IFN production by plasmacytoid DCs. Here, we extended our previous work to examine the immunomodulatory effect of statins on allergic responses, particularly the TSLP‐dependent Th2 pathway induced by myeloid DCs. We found that treatment of TSLP‐stimulated DCs with either pitavastatin or simvastatin suppressed both the DC‐mediated inflammatory Th2 cell differentiation and CRTH2+CD4+ memory Th2 cell expansion and also repressed the expressions of OX40L and CCL17 by DCs. These inhibitory effects of statins were mimicked by treatment with either a geranylgeranyl‐transferase inhibitor or Rho‐kinase inhibitor and were counteracted by the addition of mevalonate, suggesting that statins induce geranylgeranylated Rho inactivation through a mevalonate‐dependent pathway. We also found that statins inhibited the expressions of phosphorylated STA6 and NF‐κB‐p50 in TSLP‐stimulated DCs. This study identified a specific ability of statins to control DC‐mediated Th2 responses, suggesting their therapeutic potential for treating allergic diseases. 相似文献

Bullous pemphigoid and pemphigus constitute two major autoimmune blistering diseases (AIBD) with complicated disease pathomechanisms involving a multitude of cytokines and immunological pathways. The purpose of our literature review of the cytokines and chemokines involved in these AIBDs was to allow for a meta-analysis of studies detailing differential cytokine and chemokine changes in these conditions. Elucidation of inflammatory pathways could lead to more targeted therapies, several of which specific monoclonal antibodies already exist and are used safely for other autoimmune diseases. A systematic review of the Pubmed/Medline database was performed for articles characterizing cytokines/chemokines involved in BP and pemphigus. Further, a meta-analysis was carried out using standardized methods, including assessment for heterogeneity. The results of our analysis demonstrated numerous inflammatory alterations in these AIBDs. Significant alterations included serum levels of IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, IL-17, CCL-17, and CCL-26 in patients with BP, and increased blister fluids levels of IL-5, IL-6, IL-8, CCL11, and TNF-α. Blister fluid levels of IL-1α are decreased in BP. In pemphigus, we identified significantly increased serum levels of IL-10, IL-17, and CCL17. We have additionally summarized all studies excluded from meta-analysis to provide a comprehensive summary of cytokine/chemokine alterations in these two conditions. 相似文献
