Interestingly, secretory lineage hyperplasia occurs upon parasitic infections and is mediated by pro‐inflammatory cytokines (Gerbe et al, 2016), while CDK8 and CDK19 potentiate NFκB‐mediated pro‐inflammatory transcription (Chen et al, 2017) and limit production of anti‐inflammatory cytokines (Johannessen et al, 2017). The gene discussed is CDK8; the disease is parasitic infectious disease.
