Background:

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a novel member of the hemopoietic cytokine family that promotes the development of B cells and shares overlapping activity with IL-7. The gene encoding murine TSLP maps to chromosome 18 and its human homologue is expressed in several tissues, including heart, liver and prostate. TSLP mediates its function by binding to a receptor complex. TSLP first binds with low affinity to a TSLP-specific chain designated TSLPR, and then forms a high affinity complex with the IL-7Rα subunit, which explains the overlapping biological properties between TSLP and IL-7. Both TSLP and IL-7 induce phosphorylation of the transcription factor Stat5, but unlike IL-7, TSLP-mediated signaling does not activate the JAKs. TSLP prevents apoptosis and stimulates the proliferation of myeloid cells, which is supported by the coexpression of TSLPR and IL-7RRα on monocytes and dendritic cells.
