Group 3 Innate Lymphoid Cells: A Potential Therapeutic Target for Steroid Resistant Asthma.

Clin Rev Allergy Immunol

December 2024

Asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory disease that affects millions globally. Although glucocorticoids are a mainstay of asthma treatment, a subset of patients show resistance to these therapies, resulting in poor disease control and increased morbidity. The complex mechanisms underlying steroid-resistant asthma (SRA) involve Th1 and Th17 lymphocyte activity, neutrophil recruitment, and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Introduction: The objective of this study was to ascertain the predictive value of osteopontin (OPN), a cytokine with pro-inflammatory properties implicated in inflammatory and allergic conditions, in nasal secretions for the identification of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyp (CRSwNP) endotypes and the assessment of disease severity.

Methods: A cohort comprising 81 individuals diagnosed with CRSwNP was enrolled, which included 37 subjects with the non-eosinophilic CRSwNP and 44 subjects with the eosinophilic CRSwNP (eCRSwNP), alongside 32 healthy controls (HCs). Nasal secretions and tissue samples were collected from all participants.

Article Synopsis
  • Asthma is the most prevalent non-communicable respiratory disease globally, leading to significant health issues and costs, especially for the 10% of patients with severe, uncontrolled forms.
  • Research highlights that many children and adolescents with asthma can be effectively managed with standard treatments, emphasizing the importance of correct basic management and multi-disciplinary assessments.
  • For patients with true therapy-resistant asthma, new monoclonal antibody treatments targeting type 2 inflammation are available, but there remains a lack of options for non-eosinophilic asthma.
