Abstract
Monocyte chemotactic protein (MCP3) 3 interacts with several CC chemokine receptors expressed on various leukocyte subpopulations, thus activating crucial effector cells involved in asthma pathogenesis. MCP3 mRNA expression was found to be significantly increased in the bronchial mucosa of atopic and nonatopic asthmatic subjects. Additionally, MCP3 levels were significantly increased in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of asthmatic subjects and associated with increased accumulation of bronchial mucosal eosinophils.
