The epithelium produces cytokines that can recruit and activate inflammatory cells. The epithelium responds to a range of stimuli by producing chemoattractant cytokines, such as IL-8, eotaxin, and RANTES, that can recruit inflammatory cells to the airways. The production of colony-stimulating factors, such as GM-CSF, and of pleiotropic cytokines, such as IL-6, can further modulate the activation state of these cells—see text for details (© 1997 Jacqueline Schaffer).
