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.

TLR2-mediated innate immune priming boosts lung anti-viral immunity

TL;DR: Airway epithelial cell TLR2 activation induces prolonged innate immune priming, defined by early NF-κB activation, IFN-λ expression and lymphocyte recruitment, which enhanced anti-viral innate immunity and reduced virus-induced airway inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of Allergic Sensitization on Antiviral Immunity: Allergen, Virus, and Host Cell Mechanisms

TL;DR: Allergen-virus interactions in the setting of atopy involve complex tissue and cellular mechanisms that suggest that therapies tailored to restore specific components of antiviral responses will likely lead to improved clinical outcomes in allergic disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immune circuits in asthma.

TL;DR: A new view of the disease is required in which causal pathways linked to biomarkers are found and treatments targeted to these pathways as described in a more personalised approach to medicine.
Journal ArticleDOI

Critical Role of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells in Regulating Gene Expression and Innate Immune Responses to Human Rhinovirus-16.

TL;DR: Gen expression microarrays were used to examine HRV-activated peripheral blood mononuclear cells from healthy people, in combination with pDC depletion, to assess whether observed gene expression patterns were pDC dependent and confirmed key changes in gene expression.
Journal ArticleDOI

IFN Therapy in Airway Disease: Is Prophylaxis a New Approach in Exacerbation Prevention?

TL;DR: Early pulmonary vascular disease in preterm infants is associated with late respiratory outcomes in childhood and neonatal pulmonary magnetic resonance imaging of bronchopulmonary dysplasia predicts short-term clinical outcomes.

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.
