Deficiency of Mitochondrial Fatty Acid Enzyme, CPT1A, Underlies Airway Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction in Severe Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial fatty acid enzyme, CPT1A, is deficient in the airway epithelium of severe asthma patients. Restoration of CPT1A expression improved epithelial barrier integrity via increasing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production in airway epithelial cells. Restoration of deficient epithelial CPT1A may represent a new treatment approach for severe

Pathogenic Airway Bacteria and Local Immune Responses During Early‐Life Asthma‐Like Episodes

Allergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates how Haemophilus influenzae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Moraxella catarrhalis associate with airway immune responses during early‐life asthma‐like episodes, and compare these responses between children with and without asthma.

Nebulization of 2% lidocaine has no detectable impact on the healthy equine respiratory microbiota.

PLoS ONE
Glucocorticosteroids remain the most common pharmaceutical approach for the treatment of equine asthma but can be associated with significant side effects, including respiratory microbiome alterations. The goal of the study was to assess the impact of 2%

IgE‐Binding Bacterial Components Not Yet Documented in the Allergen Databases and Their Allergenic Mechanisms: An EAACI Position Paper

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Among bacteria that are associated with the development and/or exacerbation of allergic/atopic diseases, several have been described to produce IgE‐binding components. However, only one bacterial protein, Bac s 1, is currently listed in the official database of the World Health Organization/International Union of Immunological Societies (WHO ...

Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis Suggested That Neutrophils Predominated the Airways of Children With the Respiratory Syncytial Virus

Acta Paediatrica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim The respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a predominant aetiology of early‐life respiratory infections. This systematic review and meta‐analysis compared the cell types involved in airways inflammation in children with and without RSV, noting that immune responses can influence long‐term complications and may involve different inflammatory ...

Inhibition of the MER tyrosine kinase ameliorates pulmonary fibrosis by suppressing macrophage M2 polarisation and osteopontin signalling

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background and Purpose The MER proto‐oncogene tyrosine kinase (MERTK) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis (PF), and MERTK inhibition has been shown to ameliorate PF. However, the mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we have investigated how MERTK inhibition attenuates bleomycin (BLM)‐induced PF in mice and to elucidate the ...

Long Non‐Coding RNA, Like NEAT1 and MALAT1, in Asthma: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential

Clinical &Experimental Allergy, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNA, like NEAT1 and MALAT1, is emerging as a regulator of asthma‐related inflammation, airway remodelling, viral responses and cell death pathways, and are promising targets for future therapeutics. ABSTRACT Asthma affects millions worldwide. Long non‐coding RNA (lncRNA) are emerging as important factors in the pathophysiology of asthma

Interleukin‐12: Central Roles in Immune Regulation and Disease Therapy

Immunology &Cell Biology, EarlyView.
IL‐12 levels are tightly regulated to balance effective protective immunity against infections and cancer with the risk of excessive inflammation and autoimmune disease. Both insufficient and excessive IL‐12 activity can therefore be detrimental, highlighting the importance of precisely controlling its production and signaling. ABSTRACT Interleukin‐12 (
