In addition, primary epithelial cell culture from human and epithelial cell lines from mouse and human were stimulated with P2Y6R agonist and treated with P2Y6R antagonist and assessed for IL-6, IL-8\/CXCL8 and KC levels. Experiments with P2Y6R\u2212\/\u2212 and P2Y6R+\/+ chimera were performed to discriminate the role of P2Y6R activation in structural lung cells and in cells from hematopoietic system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Measurements and Main Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We observed that the intratracheal application of a P2Y6R antagonist (MRS2578) and P2Y6R deficiency inhibited cardinal features of asthma, such as bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophilia, airway remodeling, Th2 cytokine production, and bronchial hyperresponsiveness in the ovalbumin-alum model. MRS2578 was also effective in reducing airway inflammation in a model using house dust mite extracts to induce allergic lung inflammation. Experiments with bone marrow chimeras revealed the importance of the P2Y6R expression on lung structural cells in airway inflammation. In accordance with this finding, we found a strong up-regulation of P2Y6 expression on airway epithelial cells of animals with experimental asthma. Concerning the underlying mechanism, we observed that MRS2578 inhibited the release of IL-6 and IL-8\/KC by lung epithelial cells in vivo, whereas intrapulmonary application of the P2Y6R agonist uridine-5\u2032-diphosphate increased the bronchoalveolar levels of IL-6 and KC. In addition, selective activation of P2Y6 receptors induced the release of IL-6 and KC\/IL-8 by murine and human lung epithelial cells in vitro.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>P2Y6R expression on airway epithelial cells is up-regulated during acute and chronic allergic airway inflammation, and selective blocking of P2Y6R or P2Y6R deficiency on the structural cells reduces cardinal features of experimental asthma.
