Similar activation of sputum granulocytes in eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic asthma
نویسندگان
چکیده
Method We obtained peripheral blood and induced sputum from 21 asthma patients and defined two patient groups based on sputum eosinophilia (cut-off 3%). Eosinophils and neutrophils from blood and sputum were analysed by flow cytometry for expression of activation and degranulation markers. Data were analysed by both classical, non-parametric statistics and a more advanced multi-dimensional approach, using principal component analysis (PCA).

Method Clinical parameters, activation of blood granulocytes and sputum phenotypes were assessed in 115 adult asthma patients (NCT01611012). Blood granulocytes were stained with antibodies against the active FcgRII receptor (CD32, clones A17/A27) and a-chain of MAC-1 (CD11b) in the presence or absence of fMLF, and analysed by flow cytometry. NLPCA was used to reduce dimensions in a combined cel...
متن کاملCytokine production from sputum cells in eosinophilic versus non-eosinophilic asthmatics.
The inflammatory pathways involved in asthma are more complex than the sole Th2-mediated eosinophilic airway inflammation. Different phenotypes of asthma have been recently highlighted and are probably underlied by different immunological profiles. The aim of the study was to assess cytokine production from sputum cells in eosinophilic versus non-eosinophilic asthmatics. Induced sputum was obta...
متن کاملSputum inflammatory phenotypes are not stable in children with asthma.
BACKGROUND Two distinct, stable inflammatory phenotypes have been described in adults with asthma: eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic. Treatment strategies based on these phenotypes have been successful. This study evaluated sputum cytology in children with asthma to classify sputum inflammatory phenotypes and to assess their stability over time. METHODS Sputum induction was performed in 51 ch...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression and cytokine production from neutrophils in asthma phenotypes.
Asthma is characterised into eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic phenotypes based on inflammatory cell patterns in airway secretions. Neutrophils are important in innate immunity, and are increased in the airways in non-eosinophilic asthma. The present study investigated the activity of neutrophils in asthma phenotypes. Participants with eosinophilic (n = 8) and non-eosinophilic asthma (n = 9) an...
متن کاملNeutrophilic asthma is characterised by increased rhinosinusitis with sleep disturbance and GERD.
BACKGROUND Asthma is a heterogeneous inflammatory disease and eosinophilic, non-eosinophilic and neutrophilic forms are recognised. While clinically similar to eosinophilic asthma, patients with non-eosinophilic asthma have different responses to treatment and little is known about the triggers of symptoms and inflammation. OBJECTIVE This study sought to characterise asthma control, exacerbat...
