Published: December 2022

Purpose Of Review: The study of microRNA in asthma has revealed a vibrant new level of gene regulation underlying asthma pathology. Several miRNAs have been shown to be important in asthma, influencing various biological mechanisms which lead to asthma pathology and symptoms. In addition, miRNAs have been proposed as biomarkers of asthma affection status, asthma severity, and asthma treatment response. We review all recent asthma-miRNA work, while also presenting comprehensive tables of all miRNA results related to asthma.

Recent Findings: We here reviewed 63 recent studies published reporting asthma and miRNA research, and an additional 14 reviews of the same. We summarized the information for both adult and childhood asthma, as well as research on miRNAs in asthma-COPD overlap syndrome (ACOs), and virus-induced asthma exacerbations. We attempted to present a comprehensive collection of recently published asthma-associated miRNAs as well as tables of all published asthma-related miRNA results.

Importance: Spontaneous reports have indicated that montelukast increases the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events, and the US Food and Drug Administration added a boxed warning about these risks in 2020. However, the potential mechanism is not well understood, and the observational evidence is scarce, particularly in children.

Objective: To assess the potential association between the use of montelukast and the risk of neuropsychiatric adverse events in children and adolescents.

Asthma is a genetically complex inflammatory airway disease associated with over 200 Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). However, the functional effects of many asthma-associated SNPs in lung and airway epithelial samples are unknown. Here, we aimed to conduct expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis using a meta-analysis of nasal and lung samples.

Introduction: Asthma imposes a critical economic burden on health systems, especially with the incorporation of new drugs. Recently, mepolizumab has been approved to prevent exacerbations in patients with eosinophilic asthma, however their high cost constitutes a barrier for their use, especially in middle- and low-income countries. This study aimed to estimate the economically justifiable price of mepolizumab for preventing exacerbations in patients with severe asthma in Colombia.
