IRAK-M has effects in regulation of lung epithelial inflammation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Epithelial barrier is important for asthma development by shaping immune responses. Airway expressing-IL-1 receptor-associated kinase (IRAK)-M of Toll-like receptor pathway was involved in immunoregulation of airway inflammation through influencing activities of macrophages and dendritic cells or T cell differentiation. Whether IRAK-M has effect on cellular immunity in airway epithelial cells upon stimulation remains unclear.

Methods

We modeled cellular inflammation induced by IL-1β, TNF-α, IL-33, and house dust mite (HDM) in BEAS-2B and A549 cells. Cytokine production and pathway activation were used to reflect the effects of IRAK-M siRNA knockdown on epithelial immunity. Genotyping an asthma-susceptible IRAK-M SNP rs1624395 and measurement of serum CXCL10 levels
