IL-13 Impairs Tight Junctions in Airway Epithelia

Interleukin-13 (IL-13) drives symptoms in asthma with high levels of T-helper type 2 cells (T(h)2-cells). Since tight junctions (TJ) constitute the epithelial diffusion barrier, we investigated the effect of IL-13 on TJ in human tracheal epithelial cells. We observed that IL-13 increases paracellula...
