Cover: Autocrine motility factor receptor (AMFR) regulates asthmatic inflammation by promoting the production of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF), leading to recruitment, accumulation, and activation of eosinophils and T helper 2 cells in the airway. Under thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) stimulation, AMFR, whose expression is upregulated in alveolar macrophages, directly binds to and destabilizes cytokine-inducible SH2-containing protein (CIS), resulting in augmented activation of STAT5 and GM-CSF production. See mjac032 by Zhang et al. for details.
