OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of dimethylsulfoxide on the expression of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) in human bronchial epithelial cell (HBE). METHODS 16HBE cells were incubated in the presence of dimethylsulfoxide at different concentrations, and the cell proliferation changes were observed. The expressions of TSLP mRNA and protein in the cells were detected by real-time quantitative PCR and ELISA, respectively. RESULTS Dimethylsulfoxide induced significantly increased TSLP mRNA expression in HBE cells (P<0.01) in a concentration-dependent manner. The level of TSLP protein in the supernatant was also increased after dimethylsulfoxide treatment, but high concentration of dimethylsulfoxide resulted in e inhibited cell proliferation. CONCLUSIONS Dimethylsulfoxide may affect the immunomodulatory function of HBE cells.

D004847 Epithelial Cells Cells that line the inner and outer surfaces of the body by forming cellular layers (EPITHELIUM) or masses. Epithelial cells lining the SKIN; the MOUTH; the NOSE; and the ANAL CANAL derive from ectoderm; those lining the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM and the DIGESTIVE SYSTEM derive from endoderm; others (CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM and LYMPHATIC SYSTEM) derive from mesoderm. Epithelial cells can be classified mainly by cell shape and function into squamous, glandular and transitional epithelial cells.

D000094632 Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin A pleiotropic cytokine involved in INFLAMMATION and immunoregulation. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin can activate MAST CELLS; DENDRITIC CELLS; and T-LYMPHOCYTES, and is produced by various cell types, including epithelial and dendritic cells..

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016207 Cytokines Non-antibody proteins secreted by inflammatory leukocytes and some non-leukocytic cells, that act as intercellular mediators. They differ from classical hormones in that they are produced by a number of tissue or cell types rather than by specialized glands. They generally act locally in a paracrine or autocrine rather than endocrine manner. Cytokine
