TLDR
It is shown that compared with non-allergic healthy control children, bronchial epithelial cells cultured ex vivo from severe therapy resistant atopic asthmatic children have profoundly impaired interferon-β and interferons-λ mRNA and protein in response to rhinovirus (RV) and polyIC stimulation, and this is a feature of STRA.

Impaired airway epithelial cell wound‐healing capacity is associated with airway remodelling following RSV infection in severe preschool wheeze

TL;DR: The anti‐viral and repair responses of the bronchial epithelium in children with severe therapy‐resistant asthma (STRA) and PSW are poorly understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pseudomonas aeruginosa Modulates the Antiviral Response of Bronchial Epithelial Cells.

TL;DR: It is shown that P. aeruginosa is able to block the antiviral response of airway epithelial cells thereby promoting virus infection and spread, and the infection status of CF patients correlated significantly with the amount of respiratory viruses in sputum.
Journal ArticleDOI

Experimental Antiviral Therapeutic Studies for Human Rhinovirus Infections.

TL;DR: A review of the up-to-date virological and immunological understanding of rhinovirus infection can be found in this article, where the authors discuss the challenges researchers face, and key solutions, in their work to investigate potential therapies including in vivo RHINovirus challenge studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anti-viral agents: potential utility in exacerbations of asthma.

TL;DR: The role of respiratory viral infection in asthma exacerbation is discussed and current and potential anti-viral agents and their mechanisms of action are highlighted.

A diverse range of gene products are effectors of the type I interferon antiviral response

TL;DR: It is shown that different viruses are targeted by unique sets of ISGs, and that each viral species is susceptible to multiple antiviral genes, which together encompass a range of inhibitory activities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Community study of role of viral infections in exacerbations of asthma in 9-11 year old children.

TL;DR: This study supports the hypothesis that upper respiratory viral infections are associated with 80-85% of asthma exacerbations in school age children.
Journal ArticleDOI

A large-scale, consortium-based genomewide association study of asthma.

TL;DR: A few common alleles are associated with disease risk at all ages and suggest a role for communication of epithelial damage to the adaptive immune system and activation of airway inflammation in asthma.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFN-lambdas mediate antiviral protection through a distinct class II cytokine receptor complex.

TL;DR: The identification of a ligand-receptor system that, upon engagement, leads to the establishment of an antiviral state and may contribute to antiviral or other defenses by a mechanism similar to, but independent of, type I IFNs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of inhaled formoterol and budesonide on exacerbations of asthma. Formoterol and Corticosteroids Establishing Therapy (FACET) International Study Group

TL;DR: In patients who have persistent symptoms of asthma despite treatment with inhaled glucocorticoids, the addition of formoterol to budesonid therapy or the use of a higher dose of budesonide may be beneficial.
