TLDR
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.

Does the epithelial barrier hypothesis explain the increase in allergy, autoimmunity and other chronic conditions?

TL;DR: Akdis et al. as discussed by the authors introduced an extended "epithelial barrier hypothesis" which proposes that the increase in epithelial barrier-damaging agents linked to industrialization, urbanization and modern life underlies the rise in allergic, autoimmune and other chronic conditions.

The basic immunology of asthma

TL;DR: In this article, the underlying immunological basis of various asthma endotypes by discussing results obtained from animal studies as well as results generated in clinical studies targeting specific immune pathways is discussed.

The cytokine network involved in the host immune response to periodontitis

TL;DR: This review begins with an up-to-date aetiological hypothesis of periodontal disease and summarize the roles of cytokines in the host immune response and the latest cytokine-related therapeutic measures for periodontic disease.

Dupilumab in persistent asthma with elevated eosinophil levels.

TL;DR: In patients with persistent, moderate-to-severe asthma and elevated eosinophil levels who used inhaled glucocorticoids and LABAs, dupilumab therapy, as compared with placebo, was associated with fewer asthma exacerbations when LABs and inhaled GLPAs were withdrawn, with improved lung function and reduced levels of Th2-associated inflammatory markers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bronchoalveolar eosinophilia during allergen-induced late asthmatic reactions.

TL;DR: Bronchoalveolar lavage was performed in 19 asthmatic patients and in 5 control subjects to suggest that eosinophils and their mediators might be involved in the development of LAR after allergen inhalation.

Type 2 inflammation in asthma — present in most, absent in many

TL;DR: How dichotomizing asthma according to levels of type 2 inflammation — into 'T helper 2 (TH2)-high' and 'TH2-low' subtypes (endotypes) — has shaped the thinking about the pathobiology of asthma and has generated new interest in understanding the mechanisms of disease that are independent of type 1 inflammation is considered.

Human IL-25- and IL-33-responsive type 2 innate lymphoid cells are defined by expression of CRTH2 and CD161.

TL;DR: This work describes another lineage-negative CD127+CD161+ ILC population found in humans that expressed the chemoattractant receptor CRTH2 and identifies a unique type of human ILC that provides an innate source of T helper type 2 (TH2) cytokines.

House dust mite allergen induces asthma via Toll-like receptor 4 triggering of airway structural cells.

TL;DR: It is shown in irradiated chimeric mice that Toll-like receptor 4 expression on radioresistant lung structural cells, but not on DCs, is necessary and sufficient for DC activation in the lung and for priming of effector T helper responses to HDM.

What is the role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of asthma?

The role of cytokines in the pathogenesis of asthma is to promote airway eosinophilia, mucus overproduction, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and immunoglobulin E synthesis.
