An IL-8 Transiently Transgenized Mouse Model for the In Vivo Long-term Monitoring of Inflammatory Responses

Abstract:
Chronic rhinosinusitis(CRS), asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) are common chronic airway inflammatory diseases, which seriously affect patients' quality of life and bring heavy economic and social burden. Interleukin(IL) -8 is an important chemokine of neutrophils and other inflammatory cells, which plays an important role in the development of chronic airway inflammation. In this review, the inflammatory mechanisms involved in regulating IL-8 gene expression and the role of IL-8 in different airway chronic inflammation were reviewed.

Asthma: Pathogenesis and Management
Asthma is classified as allergic and non-allergic. Allergens such as dust mites, pollen, and pet dander trigger allergic asthma, while factors like cold air, intense emotions, or exercise can induce non-allergic asthma.
Asthma-II: Pathophysiology and Classification
Additionally, environmental and genetic factors play crucial roles in determining an individual's susceptibility to asthma and the severity of their condition.
Critical processes in asthma pathophysiology include:
COPD: Pathogenesis and Clinical Features
The primary cause for the onset of COPD is cigarette smoking and exposure to air pollution. These hazardous factors initiate a chain reaction within the lungs, resulting in chronic inflammation, damage to the airways, and a...
