Descripción del proyecto Currently there is an epidemic of asthma in the western world and the incidence is rising in alarming rates. Experimentation in the asthma field has identified involvement of Th2 cytokines (e.g IL-4 and IL-13), chemokines, mucus hypersecretion, airway obstruction, eosinophilia, enhanced airway hyperreactivity to spasmogens in the asthmatic response and the presence of fibrosis. IL-4 and IL-13, hallmark Th2 associated cytokines are markedly elevated in the asthmatic lung and are central regulators of many of the hallmark features of disease and is now viewed as a critical cytokine in disease pathogenesis. Resistin is a hormone that was originally identified in adipose tissue and shown to promote insulin resistance and possibly obesity. However, it is now appreciated that resistin belongs to a newly defined family of resistin-like molecules (Relm) including Relm-alpha, Relm-beta and Relm-gamma that are potent innate immune regulators, and are implicated in Th2-associated immune responses. Indeed, Relm-alpha was originally identified in inflammatory zones associated with an experimental allergic airway disease model and has been called Found in Inflammatory Zones (FIZZ) 1. Recently, I have characterized a pro-inflammatory, regulatory role for Relm-alpha in experimental colitis. Furthermore, I have identified Relm-alpha as one of the highest upregulated IL-13 induced genes in the murine asthmatic lung. Collectively, implicating an important role for Relm-alpha in lung allergic inflammatory responses. The central hypothesis of this grant application is that allergen-induced lung inflammation and fibrosis are regulated by Relm-alpha. To define the role of Relm-alpha in such settings I aim to define the expression pattern, molecular regulation and cellular source for Relm-alpha expression following experimental-asthma and -fibrosis induction. Furthermore, I aim to define the function of Relm-alpha in experimental-asthma and -fibrosis. Finally, I will define the effects o
