However, emerging studies now demonstrate that Car family members exhibit lineage-specific expression patterns within immune cells. Moreover, it has been shown that genetically and pharmacologically targeting specific Car family members is sufficient to regulate immune cell development and activation. This work has identified Car enzymes as viable therapeutic targets that can influence immunity and inflammation. Here we contribute to this growing body of literature and demonstrate that Car8 is highly expressed by basophils and basophil precursor cells compared to other Car family members. While deletion of Car8 had no effect on basophil development or recruitment, mice deficient in Car8 were protected from basophil- and interleukin (IL)-4-dependent atopic dermatitis-like inflammation. Consistent with these findings, Car8-deficient basophils exhibit defects in the cytokine-stimulated release of IL-4 that is associated with altered calcium signaling pathways. Collectively, these studies reveal the lineage-specific expression patterns of Car8 and its unappreciated function in regulating basophil activation.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fimmu.2025.1694105","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]],"date-time":"2025-11-27T06:29:05Z","timestamp":1764224945000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Carbonic anhydrase 8 regulates basophil activation and interleukin 4 production"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Jianya","family":"Peng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chandler B.","family":"Sy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Siyuan","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Arman","family":"Sawhney","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vanessa","family":"Espinosa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marissa N.","family":"Schroeter","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"Ponessa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krupa","family":"Chavan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alexander D.","family":"Lemenze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amariliz","family":"Rivera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tibor","family":"Rohacs","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark C.","family":"Siracusa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.bpj.2020.08.020","article-title":"Perspectives on the classical enzyme carbonic anhydrase and the search for inhibitors","volume":"119","author":"Jonsson","year":"2020","journal-title":"Biophys J"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"375","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.bi.64.070195.002111","article-title":"Human carbonic anhydrases and carbonic anhydrase deficiencies","volume":"64","author":"Sly","year":"1995","journal-title":"Annu Rev Biochem"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fmolb.2023.1326633","article-title":"Carbonic anhydrase versatility: from pH regulation to CO(2) sensing and metabolism","volume":"10","author":"Supuran","year":"2023","journal-title":"Front Mol Biosci"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.97.4.1677","article-title":"Mitochondrial carbonic anhydrase CA VB: differences in tissue distribution and pattern of evolution from those of CA VA suggest distinct physiological roles","volume":"97","author":"Shah","year":"2000","journal-title":"Proc Natl Acad Sci U.S.A"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/embo-reports\/kvd016","article-title":"A wheel invented three times.
