Cytokines and interleukins are key molecules that regulate immune cells, influencing allergic airway inflammation. This review highlights their role in asthma and bronchial hyperreactivity pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Cytokines and interleukins are crucial signaling molecules in maintaining bodily homeostasis.
  • They regulate the growth and function of various immune cells, including eosinophils and mast cells/basophils.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the critical role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of bronchial hyperreactivity.
  • To examine the involvement of cytokines in the development of asthma.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on cytokines and interleukins.
  • Analysis of the role of immune cell activation by cytokines in allergic inflammation.

Main Results:

  • Cytokine activation of specific immune cells is implicated in allergic airway inflammation.
