Nasal Airway Transcriptome Reflects Selected Asthma‐Associated Gene Signatures in the Lower Airways

Allergy, EarlyView.
Seven genes and two gene modules were consistently associated with asthma in both airway compartments in ARMS and were validated in ATLANTIS. The two modules reflected IL‐13 related inflammation and mast cell activity, respectively. Nasal gene signatures provide a non‐invasive proxy for selected bronchial asthma‐associated gene signatures.

IL‐33 Drives Inflammatory Changes and Extracellular Trap Formation in Eosinophils Involving Oxidised LDL and Complement Pathways

Allergy, EarlyView.
IL‐33 induces inflammatory gene signatures in eosinophils, characterised by the upregulation of cell surface markers, inflammatory mediators and regulatory factors, all of which were also observed in nasal polyp‐derived eosinophils. Ox‐LDL and complement fragments (C3a and C5a) promote eosinophil adhesion and survival.

Adipokines in Obese Asthma: A Complex Relationship Influenced More by Sex, Weight, and Oral Steroid Treatment Than Disease Severity

Allergy, EarlyView.
Adipokine secretion from adipose tissue may be involved in obesity‐related asthma, but it is unknown how adipokine levels relate to asthma characteristics. Plasma adipokines were measured in well‐characterized lean, overweight or obese patients with mild‐to‐moderate or severe asthma.

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

Allergy, 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 ...

Type‐2‐Inflammatory‐Diseases Share Comorbidities, Molecular Signatures, IL4/IL13 Genetics, and Response to IL4/IL13 Blockade

Allergy, EarlyView.
Studies suggest that type 2 inflammatory diseases are driven by overactivation of the IL4/IL13 pathway, manifesting differently in distinct tissues. We performed quantitative analyses using several large independent datasets to explore the interrelation of type 2 inflammatory diseases based on co‐prevalence, genetic predispositions, and transcriptomic ...

The performance of an in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification for the rapid detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in sputum samples in comparison with Xpert MTB/RIF, microscopy and culture

Revista do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de São Paulo
Simple, low-cost and effective diagnostic tests for tuberculosis (TB) are needed especially in TB-high burden settings. The present study evaluated the performance of an in-house loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) for diagnosing TB by ...

Is Asthma Remission a New Achievable Goal? A Review of the Current Drug‐Related Evidence and Predictors

Allergy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Advances in asthma therapies have shown that clinical remission may be an achievable therapeutic goal for patients with asthma. This review discusses the current definitions of remission in asthma, the predictors of remission, airway inflammation/epithelial damage in asthma remission, airway remodeling, paradigms in defining remission and ...

Effect of Dupilumab on Airway Inflammation in Patients With Persistent Asthma

Allergy, EarlyView.
EXPEDITION (NCT02573233) assessed the effects of dupilumab on airway inflammation in patients with persistent asthma using bronchoscopy and gene expression analysis. Dupilumab showed no appreciable effect on inflammatory cell types in biopsies or BALF samples.
