Abstract
► IL-3 in combination with TNF induces exuberant amounts of eosinophil MMP-9. ► The synergistic effect of IL-3/TNF is due to MMP-9 synthesis by eosinophils. ► Enhanced mRNA stabilization is associated with the synergistic induction of MMP-9. ► MMP-9 synthesis requires the interaction of multiple signaling pathways. ► Targeting IL-3/TNF may impede MMP-9-mediated tissue injury/remodeling.
