[PMID: 38907743 DOI: 10.1007/s00011-024-01908-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/15/2024] [Revised: 06/06/2024] [Accepted: 06/15/2024] [Indexed: 06/24/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND In recent years, there has been a growing interest in the utilization of biologic therapies for the management of asthma. Both TSLP and IgE are important immune molecules in the development of asthma, and they are involved in the occurrence and regulation of inflammatory response. METHODS A comprehensive search of PubMed and Web of Science was conducted to gather information on anti-TSLP antibody and anti-IgE antibody. RESULTS This investigation elucidates the distinct mechanistic roles of Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) and Immunoglobulin E (IgE) in the pathogenesis of asthma, with a particular emphasis on delineating the therapeutic mechanisms and pharmacological properties of monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE and TSLP. Through a meticulous examination of clinical trials involving paradigmatic agents such as omalizumab and tezepelumab, we offer valuable insights into the potential treatment modalities for diseases with shared immunopathogenic pathways involving IgE and TSLP. CONCLUSION The overarching objective of this comprehensive study is to delve into the latest advancements in asthma therapeutics and to provide guidance for future investigations in this domain.

Abstract
Although horses with asthma share similar clinical signs, the heterogeneity of the disease in terms of severity, triggering factors, inflammatory profile, and pathological features has hindered our ability to define biologically distinct subgroups. The recognition of phenotypes and endotypes could enable the development of precision medicine, including personalized, targeted therapy, to benefit affected horses. While in its infancy in horses, this review outlines the phenotypes of equine asthma and discusses how knowledge gained from targeted therapy in human medicine can be applied to evaluate the potential opportunities for personalized medicine in equine asthma and to suggest avenues for research to advance this emerging field.

Abstract
Bronchial asthma is not considered a singular disease, but rather a collection of syndromes with multiple phenotypes and mechanisms that involve various signaling pathways. It typically emerges during the preschool years, and its etiology is intricate and diverse. In recent years, the advancement of high-throughput sequencing technology has revealed that early alterations in lung microbiota may be associated with asthma incidence and progression. Moreover, significant variations in lung microbiota have been observed among different airway inflammation profiles, known as asthma endotypes. Hence, a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of lung microbiota in children with asthma can aid in managing disease progression and improving long-term prognosis. Additionally, such insights may spark novel approaches to diagnosing and treating childhood asthma.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Corticosteroids are the most cost-effective anti-inflammatory drugs available for the treatment of asthma. Despite their effectiveness, several asthmatic patients have corticosteroid resistance or insensitivity and exhibit a poor response. Corticosteroid insensitivity implies a poor prognosis due to challenges in finding alternative therapeutic options for asthma. AREAS COVERED In this review, we describe asthma phenotypes and endotypes, as well as their differential responsiveness to corticosteroids. In addition, we describe the mechanism of action of corticosteroids underlying their regulation of the expression of glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) and their anti-inflammatory effects. Furthermore, we summarize the mechanistic evidence underlying corticosteroid-insensitive asthma, which is mainly related to changes in GR gene expression, structure, and post-transcriptional modifications. Finally, various pharmacological strategies designed to reverse corticosteroid insensitivity are discussed. EXPERT OPINION Corticosteroid insensitivity is influenced by the asthma phenotype, endotype, and severity, and serves as an indication for biological therapy. The molecular mechanisms underlying corticosteroid-insensitive asthma have been used to develop targeted therapeutic strategies. However, the lack of clinical trials prevents the clinical application of these treatments.

Abstract
Contemporary asthma management requires a proactive and individualized approach, combining precision diagnosis and personalized treatment. The introduction of biologic therapies for severe asthma to everyday clinical practice, increases the need for specific patient selection, prediction of outcomes and monitoring of these costly and long-lasting therapies. Several biomarkers have been used in asthma in disease identification, prediction of asthma severity and prognosis, and response to treatment. Novel advances in the area of personalized medicine regarding disease phenotyping and endotyping, encompass the development and application of reliable biomarkers, accurately quantified using robust and reproducible methods. The availability of powerful omics technologies, together with integrated and network-based genome data analysis, and microbiota changes quantified in serum, body fluids and exhaled air, will lead to a better classification of distinct phenotypes or endotypes. Herein, in this review we discuss on currently used and novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of asthma.

Abstract
Asthma phenotyping and endotyping are constantly evolving. Currently, several biologic agents have been developed towards a personalized approach to asthma management. This review will focus on different eosinophilic phenotypes and Th2-associated endotypes with eosinophilic inflammation. Additionally, airway remodeling is analyzed as a key feature of asthmatic eosinophilic endotypes. In addition, evidence of biomarkers is examined with a predictive value to identify patients with severe, uncontrolled asthma who may benefit from new treatment options. Finally, there will be a discussion on the results from clinical trials regarding severe eosinophilic asthma and how the inhibition of the eosinophilic pathway by targeted treatments has led to the reduction of recurrent exacerbations.
