In upper airway cells, Th2 cytokines that signal through IL-4 receptor alpha (IL4Rα) have been shown to stimulate eotaxin-3 secretion via a non-gastric proton pump (ngH+,K+ATPase). To seek novel targets for eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) treatments, we evaluated ngH+,K+ATPase expression in EoE squamous cells, and explored molecular pathways involved in eotaxin-3 secretion by IL4Rα signaling.
