Distinct emphysema subtypes defined by quantitative CT analysis are associated with specific pulmonary matrix metalloproteinases. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Emphysema is characterised by distinct pathological sub-types, but little is known about the divergent underlying aetiology. Matrix-metalloproteinases (MMPs) are proteolytic enzymes that can degrade the extracellular matrix and have been ...

Proteomic and Transcriptomic Signatures of Poor Asthma Symptom Control in the U‐BIOPRED Cohort

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
No stable features were identified as associated with asthma symptom control in transcriptomics or sputum proteomics. Higher TWEAKR/TNFRSF12A and MBL/MBP‐C serum levels increased the odds of uncontrolled symptoms, while higher MK08/MAPK8 and CD5L serum levels decreased the odds, after adjustment for clinical variables.

Induced Sputum in Asthma: From Bench to Bedside

open access: yesCurrent Medicinal Chemistry, 2011
During recent years there has been a growing interest in using non-invasive biomarkers to understand and monitor the airway inflammation in subjects with respiratory tract disorders and mainly asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Sputum induction is generally a well-tolerated and safe procedure and a European Respiratory Society ...

Characterization of Human Group 9 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Response to Allergen Immunotherapy in Patients With Allergic Rhinitis

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
We aimed to report the existence and profile of group 9 innate lymphoid cells (ILC9s). Overall, ILC9 proportions in AR patients show differences compared to healthy subjects and responder SCIT patients. IL‐9 expression decreases after siRNA inhibition of Bach2 suggesting Bach2 could display as a transcription factor of ILC9.

Sputum Eosinophil and Macrophage Changes After Aspirin Challenge in Patients With Nonsteroidal Anti‐Inflammatory Drug–Exacerbated Respiratory Disease

open access: yesClinical and Translational Allergy
Background Induced sputum cell count is crucial for assessing airway inflammatory phenotypes. This study investigated how aspirin‐induced bronchospasm affects sputum cell counts in patients with nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drug‐exacerbated respiratory
