About 30% of MCD patients become resistant to steroid after a long period of steroid therapy; however, the mechanism of steroid resistance is unclear. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), an epithelial cytokine, is known to be associated with steroid\u2010resistant allergic disease. Experiments using mouse models of asthma suggest that TSLP\u2010mediated phosphorylation of signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5) binds to corticosteroid receptors, resulting in steroid resistance. In the present study, we aim to investigate whether TSLP is involved in steroid resistance in patients with MCD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We compared serum TSLP levels in patients with MCD (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200926) and healthy controls (\n                      <jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u200913). The cultured podocytes were used to investigate whether TSLP attenuates the podocyte\u2010protective effect of dexamethasone (DEX) and whether the administration of a TSLP\u2010neutralising antibody abolishes TSLP\u2010induced steroid resistance.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The level of serum TSLP in patients with MCD was significantly higher than that in healthy controls (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05).
