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.

The immunology of asthma

TL;DR: Results from in-depth molecular studies of mouse models in light of the results from the first clinical trials targeting key cytokines in humans are discussed and the extraordinary heterogeneity of asthma is described.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Cytokines of Asthma

TL;DR: The cytokine networks driving asthma are reviewed, placing these in cellular context and incorporating insights from cytokine-targeting therapies in the clinic, to argue that the development of new and improved therapeutics will require understanding the diverse mechanisms underlying the spectrum of asthma pathologies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epidemiology of Asthma in Children and Adults.

TL;DR: There is an urgent need to further investigate the interrelationship between environmental and genetic determinants to identify high risk groups and key modifiable exposures and to define the role of environmental exposures in the development of asthma in both children and adults.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early local immune defences in the respiratory tract

TL;DR: The cell types that coordinate pathogen clearance and tissue repair through the serial secretion of cytokines are described, and how the environment and comorbidity influence this response is discussed.

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

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used the WNV-GFP stock used in the data set (Fig. 2 and Supplementary Table 8 of the original Letter) for West Nile virus (WNV) in this Letter was actually Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus (VEEV)-GFP.

Early intervention with budesonide in mild persistent asthma: a randomised, double-blind trial

Start Investigators
- 29 Mar 2003 - 
TL;DR: Long-term, once-daily treatment with low-dose budesonide decreases the risk of severe exacerbations and improves asthma control in patients with mild persistent asthma of recent onset.

Frequency, severity, and duration of rhinovirus infections in asthmatic and non-asthmatic individuals: a longitudinal cohort study

TL;DR: People with atopic asthma are not at greater risk of rhinovirus infection than healthy individuals but suffer from more frequent LRT infections and have more severe and longer-lasting LRT symptoms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rhinovirus-induced lower respiratory illness is increased in asthma and related to virus load and Th1/2 cytokine and IL-10 production.

TL;DR: Increased RV-induced clinical illness severity in asthmatic compared with normal subjects is demonstrated, evidence of strong relationships between virus load, lower airway virus-induced inflammation and asthma exacerbation severity is provided, and indicates augmented Th2 or impaired Th1 or IL-10 immunity are likely important mechanisms.
