Resolving Endoplasmic Reticulum‐Protein Misfolding Restores Corticosteroid Sensitivity in Experimental Models of Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of ER stress in steroid resistance in severe asthma. Results from advanced 3D models of human bronchial epithelial cells, steroid‐resistant severe asthma mouse models, and human severe asthma sputum samples show that treatment with ICS in combination with the ER stress inhibitor 4‐PBA significantly enhances steroid ...

Expression of a new disialyllacto structure in the lipopolysaccharide of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae

open access: yesCarbohydrate Research, 2011
The structure of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) expressed by non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) strains 1008 and 1247 has been investigated by mass spectrometry and NMR analyses on O-deacylated LPS and core oligosaccharide material. Both strains express the conserved triheptosyl inner core, [l-α-d-Hepp-(1→2)-[PEtn→6]-l-α-d-Hepp-(1→3)-l-α-d-Hepp-(1→5)-

Longer Asthma Duration Is Associated With Elevated Non‐T2 Sputum Biomarkers and Reduced T2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
Longer asthma duration is associated with increased airway non‐T2 inflammation and reduced airway and systemic T2 inflammation. Sputum CXCL9 is independently associated with duration and may predict a reduced poor response to anti‐IL‐4Rα therapy. Airway sampling and combined T2 and non‐T2 targeted strategies may be needed in long‐standing asthma. CXCL9,

NTHi killing activity is reduced in COPD patients and is associated with a differential microbiome

open access: yesRespiratory Research
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic lung disease characterized by airway obstruction and inflammation. Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) lung infections are common in COPD, promoting frequent exacerbations and accelerated ...

Epidemiology of Haemophilus influenzae Serotype a, North American Arctic, 2000–2005

open access: yesEmerging Infectious Diseases, 2008
Before the introduction of Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccines, rates of invasive H. influenzae disease among indigenous people of the North American Arctic were among the highest in the world.

Distribution of Bacterial Proteins in Biofilms Formed by Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Histochemistry & Cytochemistry, 2006
The ability to preserve the fragile ultrastructural organization of bacterial biofilms using cryo-preparation methods for electron microscopy has enabled us to probe sections through non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae (NTHi) biofilms and determine the localization of NTHi-specific lipooligosaccharide (LOS) and proteins within these structures.

The Airway Transcriptome in Type 2 Cytokine Biomarker‐High and ‐Low Severe Asthma

open access: yesAllergy, EarlyView.
This study distinguishes severe asthma–related airway transcriptomic changes from the effects of high‐dose ICS. Most dysregulated genes in severe asthma show concordance with corticosteroid responses. Corticosteroid‐resistant T2‐high asthma featured T2‐high and epithelial barrier gene upregulation, while T2‐low asthma featured Th1/IL‐17 signatures. ASM,

A review of the role of Haemophilus influenzae in community-acquired pneumonia

open access: yesPneumonia, 2015
In an era when Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) conjugate vaccine is widely used, the incidence of Hib as a cause of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) has dramatically declined. Non-typeable H.

Molecular and cellular determinants of non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae adherence and invasion [PDF]

open access: yesCellular Microbiology, 2002
Non-typeable Haemophilus influenzae is a common cause of human disease and initiates infection by colonizing the upper respiratory tract. Based on information from histopathologic specimens and in vitro studies with human cells and tissues in culture, non-typeable H. influenzae is capable of efficient adherence and appreciable invasion, properties that

A heme‐binding protein produced by Haemophilus haemolyticus inhibits non‐typeable Haemophilus influenzae [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, 2019
Abstract Commensal bacteria serve as an important line of defense against colonisation by opportunisitic pathogens, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly explored. Here, we show that strains of a commensal bacterium, Haemophilus haemolyticus , make hemophilin,
