Research Abstract

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an IL-7-like cytokine that triggers dendritic cell (DC)-mediated T helper 2-type inflammatory responses. TSLP is a master molecule for allergic inflammation such as that in asthma and atopic dermatitis. In the present study, we first found high expression of TSLP in the epithelium of allergic rhinitis with recruitment and infiltration of DCs. In human nasal epithelial cells in vitro TSLP was significantly induced by treatment with the proinflammatory cytokines and a Toll-like receptor ligand. Treatment with TSLP also enhanced the barrier function of tight junctions of human nasal epithelial cells in vitro and mouse DC line XS52 together with an increase of tight junction proteins.
