Thymic stromal lymphopoietin contributes to ozone-induced exacerbations of eosinophilic airway inflammation via granulocyte colony-stimulating factor in mice

Ozone is one of the triggers of asthma, but its impact on the pathophysiology of asthma, such as via airway inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), is not fully understood. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is increasingly seen as a crucial molecule associated with asthma severity, such as corticosteroid resistance.
