Impaired innate interferon induction in severe therapy resistant atopic asthmatic children.

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.

Assessing the association of early life antibiotic prescription with asthma exacerbations, impaired antiviral immunity, and genetic variants in 17q21: a population-based birth cohort study.

TL;DR: Hidden factors that may increase the likelihood of both early life antibiotic prescription and later asthma are an increased susceptibility to viral infections consequent upon impaired antiviral immunity and genetic variants on 17q21.

Joint modeling of parentally reported and physician-confirmed wheeze identifies children with persistent troublesome wheezing

TL;DR: A novel group of children with persistent troublesome wheeze, who have markedly different outcomes compared with persistent wheezers with controlled disease, is identified.

Azithromycin induces anti-viral effects in cultured bronchial epithelial cells from COPD patients

TL;DR: Azithromycin transiently increased expression of IFNβ and IFNλ1 and RIG-I like helicases in un-infected COPD cells and increased rhinovirus-induced expression of interferons in COPD but not in healthy bronchial epithelium, supporting azithromyzin’s emerging role in prevention of exacerbations of COPD.

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.
