Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an interleukin 7-like cytokine produced mainly by epithelial cells. Many studies indicate that TSLP contributes to promote T helper (Th) 2 immune responses which are associated with the pathogenesis of allergic inflammatory diseases. Base on the cross-talk between Th2 inflammation and cancers, we will highlight the role of TSLP in the progression of cancers in this review. TSLP is involved in the increasing prevalence of Tregs in the cancer microenvironment. Besides, TSLP has an important role in promoting the growth of vascular endothelial cells and angiogenesis, which could further promote the development and progression of cervical cancer. It gives the evidence that TSLP could induce EMT to promote cancer metastasis. In addition, TSLP could be detected in some fibroblasts and may play a role in the pathogenesis of non-allergic diseases characterized by a type 2 immune response and organ fibrosis.

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.. TSLP Cytokine,Cytokine, TSLP,Lymphopoietin, Thymic Stromal,Stromal Lymphopoietin, Thymic
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
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
D050378 T-Lymphocytes, Regulatory CD4-positive T cells that inhibit immunopathology or autoimmune disease in vivo. They inhibit the immune response by influencing the activity of other cell types. Regulatory T-cells include naturally occurring CD4+CD25+ cells, IL-10 secreting Tr1 cells, and Th3 cells.
