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.

Profiling of H3K27Ac Reveals the Influence of Asthma on the Epigenome of the Airway Epithelium.

TL;DR: A small pilot study validates genome-wide approaches for deciphering epigenetic mechanisms underlying asthma pathogenesis in the airways by identifying guide-RNAs capable of targeting acetylation to asthma DERs and inducing gene expression (TLR3).

Investigating the immune responses of COPD lung tissue explants to viral stimuli

TL;DR: This model is a valuable system to study the mechanisms underlying RV-induced COPD exacerbations and also to test new inhibitors in the whole tissue environment to establish which signalling pathways are responsible for the inflammatory response and IFN release.

Innate immunity in paediatric viral wheezers is virus specific and not interferon dependent

Sejal Saglani
- 28 May 2014 - 
TL;DR: It is known that an underlying susceptibility is an important determinant since variants at the 17q21 locus were associated with asthma in children who had had HRV wheezing illnesses in COAST and another unrelated high risk birth cohort and allergic sensitisation precedes HRV induced wheezed and asthma development.
Journal Article

Early-life respiratory infections are pivotal in the progression of asthma-a systematic review and meta-analysis

TL;DR: Early-life respiratory infections are positively associated with the risk of asthma and childhood asthma was significantly correlated with respiratory tract infections among children who acquired infections within 6 months of life.

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.

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.
