The downregulation of SLAM gene expression observed here after allergen challenge, which induces a Th2 response, is consistent with this earlier observation.
5-fold of the normal control level); induction of only a limited set of genes by this allergen, as its inhalation causes an acute inflammation response mainly in airways; and the use of probes from whole-lung homogenates, which may result in a dilution of signals, making it difficult to detect genes induced only in the airways.
For instance, the EF-hand protein identified as having a pollen allergen Bra r II domain is similar to an EF-hand protein from pollen (APC1) isolated by Rozwadowski et al.
Cigarette smoke has also been considered a major player in the pathogenesis of asthma and as a trigger for acute symptoms [ 2 ] . Exposure to cigarette smoke activates an inflammatory cascade in the airway epithelium resulting in the production of a number of potent cytokines and chemokines, with accompanying damage to the lung epithelium, increased permeability, and recruitment of macrophages and neutrophils to the airway [ 3 ] . Even brief exposure to cigarette smoke has been shown to increase expression of IL-8 in primary cultures of human bronchial epithelial cells (HBEs) in the presence of dust mite allergen [ 4 ] . Increased release of the chemokine IL-8 has also been shown for cultured HBEs exposed to cigarette smoke extract (CSE) [ 5 6 ] and diesel exhaust particles [ 7 ] . However, the precise molecular events that bring about these intracellular changes and acute inflammation in lung epithelial cells are not well understood.
In keeping with this, IgE antibody responses to cat allergen are not quantitatively as high as those to dust mites [17].
