CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42189350\nTitle: Epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis: mechanistic roles and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease affecting over 300\u00a0million people worldwide. The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42121933\nTitle: Eosinophil-Epithelial Cell Crosstalk at Mucosal Barriers: From Homeostatic Regulation to Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that reside constitutively within mucosal tissues, where they engage in bidirectional communication with the epithelial cells lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy."

Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation."

A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting a KIT+ ILC2 state remain poorly understood. We defined the molecular basis for the enhanced plasticity of KIT+ ILC2s and identified signals that induce this phenotype, including links with immune disease susceptibility. We combined bulk as well as single-cell transcriptome (RNA sequencing) and epigenome (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) analysis with in vitro culture assays using primary human KIT+ or KITneg ILC2s and multipotent ILC progenitors. Epigenomic data were integrated with genetic risk variants for major human immune diseases. Multiomic analyses revealed that KIT+ ILC2s maintain a unique hybrid character marked by expression and open chromatin of genes linked to both ILC progenitors and ILC2 biology. KIT+ ILC2s showed extensive epigenomic priming at gene loci related to naive lymphocyte biology, tissue homing, and ILC3 effector functions, including IL17 and IL23R-explaining why KIT+ ILC2s are poised to adopt an ILC3-like phenotype. Genetic risk variants for asthma and autoimmunity are enriched in the poised epigenome of KIT+ ILC2s. Common \u03b3-chain cytokines IL-2/IL-7 induced and maintained a KIT+ phenotype in KITneg ILC2s through STAT5 activation. Our study defines KIT+ ILC2s as existing in a developmentally immature state and carrying a precursor-like epigenome that promotes phenotypic plasticity and is linked to immune disease susceptibility. Importantly, we identify STAT5-mediated cytokine signals as candidates for therapeutic targeting of KIT+ ILC2s."

We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol. In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus.

However, the protective regulation of protease-dependent interleukin-33 (IL-33) activation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a serine protease inhibitor, in this protective regulation and aimed to clarify its contribution to type 2 immunity. Methods We evaluated the role of SLPI in the\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced expansion of ILC2s and Th2-type airway inflammation via IL-33, using three models: SLPI-deficient mice, an in vivo SLPI knockdown model with shRNA, and an in vitro model utilizing primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract under various conditions, including plasmid transfection. Results We showed that two mouse models of downregulation of\u00a0SLPI\u00a0gene expression augmented\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced release of IL-33 and the expansion of ILC2s, together with Th2 airway inflammation. Furthermore, two treatment models using\u00a0SLPI\u00a0KO mice, administration of a serine protease inhibitor, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, or anti-IL-33 antibody, attenuated Th2\u00a0airway inflammation. In two in vitro experiments, SLPI, as a serine protease inhibitor, prevented both the release of IL-33 from HBECs and the cleavage of full-length IL-33 to shorter mature forms by neutrophil elastase. Discussion These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses. Low\u00a0SLPI levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting Th2 inflammation, highlighting SLPI as a potential therapeutic target in patients with low SLPI expression."

Here, we identified the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 as a key regulator of ILC2 effector function through translational control. Piezo1 is highly expressed in murine and human ILC2s, and its activation by mechanical stress or the Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1 induces calcium influx, triggering mTOR signaling and selectively enhancing IL-13 protein production. Conditional deletion of Piezo1 in ILC2s reduced mTOR activation and puromycin incorporation, leading to impaired protein synthesis and attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in the IL-33, Alternaria alternata, and bleomycin models. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq confirmed that Piezo1-deficient ILC2s retained Il13 transcription and chromatin accessibility but presented translational suppression, as evidenced by protein\u2012mRNA interactions. Pharmacologic mTOR inhibition phenocopied Piezo1 loss, supporting the functional relevance of the Piezo1-mTOR axis. These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation. Targeting Piezo1 signaling or its downstream effectors may provide therapeutic benefits in type 2 inflammation-associated lung diseases."

However, precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DEP exposure on airway innate immune cells, focusing on macrophages/monocytes, and their role in asthma exacerbation. Using a murine asthma model, we sensitized and challenged 6-week-old BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). These mice underwent 10 repeated OVA inhalations over three weeks, with and without concurrent DEP inhalation. Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation were assessed. We characterized immune cell populations and their crosstalk,\u00a0focusing on mouse Ly6C+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs) and human CD14+CD16- MoMs. DEP exposure worsened histological scores in the asthmatic lungs and altered the OVA-induced type 2 inflammation profile, leading to increased type 3 inflammation. In terms of lung macrophages, DEP inhalation resulted in the depletion of SiglecF+CD11c+CD11b- resident alveolar macrophages and an increase in SiglecF-CD11b+ MoMs, particularly Ly6C+ MoMs. DEP-exposed Ly6C+ MoMs isolated from the OVA model (DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA) heightened neutrophil chemotaxis and the expression of fibrosis-related genes. DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA also promoted the differentiation of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T helper (Th) cells toward ILC3s and Th17 cells, respectively. Ex vivo DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA transfer also induced significant type 3 inflammation with SiglecF+ neutrophils. In vitro DEP-treated human CD14+CD16- MoMs upregulated neutrophil chemotaxis-related genes and exacerbated non-type 2 inflammation. In conclusion, DEP exposure exacerbates asthma by inducing mixed type 2 and type 3 inflammation in the asthmatic airways through the modulation of Ly6C+ MoMs, which enhance type 3 immunity."

Beyond their traditional role as a physical barrier against antibiotics, recent evidence positions biofilms as sophisticated immune modulators that actively perpetuate mucosal dysbiosis. This review synthesizes the pathological continuum of biofilm-associated CRS, elucidating how biofilm derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) trigger the release of epithelial alarmins (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25), thereby fueling a maladaptive Type 2 inflammatory loop. We further examine bacterial survival strategies, such as the formation of small colony variants (SCVs) and intracellular \"Trojan Horse\" reservoirs, which render conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and antimicrobial monotherapies insufficient for complete eradication. Crucially, we discuss the current diagnostic disconnect where standard cultures fail to detect biofilm burdens. Finally, we propose a therapeutic paradigm shift from a purely bactericidal approach to one of ecological restoration. By integrating cutting-edge strategies, including matrix-degrading enzymes, bacteriophage cocktails, and Nasal Microbiota Transplantation (NMT), we construct a multi-dimensional framework aiming to restore sinonasal homeostasis. Together, these emerging strategies support a shift from pathogen suppression alone toward ecological and immunologic rebalancing of the sinonasal mucosa, offering a more durable conceptual framework for overcoming treatment recalcitrance."

A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting a KIT+ ILC2 state remain poorly understood. We defined the molecular basis for the enhanced plasticity of KIT+ ILC2s and identified signals that induce this phenotype, including links with immune disease susceptibility. We combined bulk as well as single-cell transcriptome (RNA sequencing) and epigenome (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) analysis with in vitro culture assays using primary human KIT+ or KITneg ILC2s and multipotent ILC progenitors. Epigenomic data were integrated with genetic risk variants for major human immune diseases. Multiomic analyses revealed that KIT+ ILC2s maintain a unique hybrid character marked by expression and open chromatin of genes linked to both ILC progenitors and ILC2 biology. KIT+ ILC2s showed extensive epigenomic priming at gene loci related to naive lymphocyte biology, tissue homing, and ILC3 effector functions, including IL17 and IL23R-explaining why KIT+ ILC2s are poised to adopt an ILC3-like phenotype.

Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation."

However, the protective regulation of protease-dependent interleukin-33 (IL-33) activation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a serine protease inhibitor, in this protective regulation and aimed to clarify its contribution to type 2 immunity. Methods We evaluated the role of SLPI in the\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced expansion of ILC2s and Th2-type airway inflammation via IL-33, using three models: SLPI-deficient mice, an in vivo SLPI knockdown model with shRNA, and an in vitro model utilizing primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract under various conditions, including plasmid transfection. Results We showed that two mouse models of downregulation of\u00a0SLPI\u00a0gene expression augmented\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced release of IL-33 and the expansion of ILC2s, together with Th2 airway inflammation. Furthermore, two treatment models using\u00a0SLPI\u00a0KO mice, administration of a serine protease inhibitor, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, or anti-IL-33 antibody, attenuated Th2\u00a0airway inflammation. In two in vitro experiments, SLPI, as a serine protease inhibitor, prevented both the release of IL-33 from HBECs and the cleavage of full-length IL-33 to shorter mature forms by neutrophil elastase. Discussion These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses. Low\u00a0SLPI levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting Th2 inflammation, highlighting SLPI as a potential therapeutic target in patients with low SLPI expression."

Here, we identified the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 as a key regulator of ILC2 effector function through translational control. Piezo1 is highly expressed in murine and human ILC2s, and its activation by mechanical stress or the Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1 induces calcium influx, triggering mTOR signaling and selectively enhancing IL-13 protein production. Conditional deletion of Piezo1 in ILC2s reduced mTOR activation and puromycin incorporation, leading to impaired protein synthesis and attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in the IL-33, Alternaria alternata, and bleomycin models. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq confirmed that Piezo1-deficient ILC2s retained Il13 transcription and chromatin accessibility but presented translational suppression, as evidenced by protein\u2012mRNA interactions. Pharmacologic mTOR inhibition phenocopied Piezo1 loss, supporting the functional relevance of the Piezo1-mTOR axis. These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation. Targeting Piezo1 signaling or its downstream effectors may provide therapeutic benefits in type 2 inflammation-associated lung diseases."

Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy."

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

This study aimed to investigate the impact of DEP exposure on airway innate immune cells, focusing on macrophages/monocytes, and their role in asthma exacerbation. Using a murine asthma model, we sensitized and challenged 6-week-old BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). These mice underwent 10 repeated OVA inhalations over three weeks, with and without concurrent DEP inhalation. Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation were assessed. We characterized immune cell populations and their crosstalk,\u00a0focusing on mouse Ly6C+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs) and human CD14+CD16- MoMs. DEP exposure worsened histological scores in the asthmatic lungs and altered the OVA-induced type 2 inflammation profile, leading to increased type 3 inflammation.

In this study, we identify S100A9 as a macrophage-derived alarmin that is markedly elevated in CRSwNP tissues. Integrative analyses of public bulk transcriptomic datasets and single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases demonstrated that S100A9 expression was predominantly enriched in macrophage clusters, where it showed strong co-expression with canonical M1-associated markers, while exhibiting limited expression in epithelial cell subsets. Spatial and correlation analyses further supported a close association between S100A9\u207a macrophages and epithelial barrier-related gene signatures. Functionally, shRNA-mediated silencing of S100A9 attenuated M1-like macrophage polarization, as evidenced by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and polarization markers, accompanied by a shift toward a less inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Conditioned media derived from S100A9-deficient macrophages significantly mitigated epithelial injury, leading to restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, as indicated by enhanced expression of tight junction proteins, including occludin and claudins. Importantly, S100A9 knockdown disrupted the pathogenic macrophage-epithelial inflammatory feedback loop, thereby dampening sustained inflammatory signaling and limiting epithelial barrier breakdown that perpetuates tissue damage in CRSwNP. Clinically, elevated S100A9 levels correlated with disease severity indices and effectively distinguished a macrophage-enriched inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP, highlighting S100A9 as both a mechanistic driver and a potential biomarker for disease stratification. Collectively, these findings position S100A9 as a mechanistic mediator and a promising therapeutic target for CRSwNP."

We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours.

Several pivotal studies demonstrating tezepelumab effectiveness and leading to regulatory and marketing authorization have since been complemented by further evidence, most notably from the following studies: (a) for severe uncontrolled asthma, the PASSAGE phase 4 clinical trial, conducted in a routine clinical practice setting, found that tezepelumab significantly reduced exacerbations, including in underrepresented populations (African-Americans, adolescents, smokers, individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and improved lung function, disease control, and quality of life. (b) For corticosteroid-dependent asthma, the WAYFINDER phase 3b clinical trial reported tezepelumab's effectiveness in reducing both dependency and the number of exacerbations as well as clinical remission in around a quarter of patients. (c) For chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, the WAYPOINT phase 3 clinical trial found that tezepelumab, after therapeutic optimization, decreased nasal polyp size and nasal congestion, improved clinical impact and sense of smell, and reduced the need for surgery. (d) For moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the COURSE phase 2a clinical trial reported a non-significant reduction in exacerbations, but also that reductions were greater for the type 2 phenotype (eosinophils \u2265150\u00a0cells/\u03bcL).

As a mitochondrial gatekeeper, voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) mediates the elimination of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy. However, whether VDAC1 contributes to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization reduced infarct volume and improved neurological function following cerebral I/R. We further confirmed that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization promoted mitophagy, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. Additionally, VDAC1 knockdown restored mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, thereby alleviating mitochondria damage in neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation /reoxygenation (OGD/R). Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into the regulation of mitophagy in cerebral I/R injury and suggest that VDAC1 represents a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke."

How environmental allergens activate GSDMD remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that exposing epithelial cells to allergens triggers protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1)-dependent ferritinophagy, elevating intracellular labile iron. This iron pool is essential for noncanonical, protease-independent GSDMD activation. The iron chaperone poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) delivers iron directly to GSDMD, initiating a highly localized Fenton reaction. This generates constrained hydroxyl radicals that cleave GSDMD, releasing the active N-terminal p40 fragment to form pores for IL-33 release. Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Our findings reveal an unconventional, iron-catalyzed, and protease-independent mechanism for GSDMD activation, offering potential new therapeutic targets for allergic inflammatory diseases."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42307017\nTitle: Spatial and Phenotypic Heterogeneity of ILC Subsets in Mouse Lung Under Type 2 Inflammatory Conditions.\nAbstract: As key regulators of mucosal immunity, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are involved in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Studying ILCs within their native microenvironment remains challenging due to the low abundance of these tissue-resident immune cells. Here, we applied cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence, namely multiepitope ligand cartography (MELC), in a systemic IL-33-induced type 2 inflammation model to spatio-temporally characterize ILC phenotype and localization in mouse lungs. Niche analysis with all identified cell types resulted in four distinct niches and an expansion of a mixed B and Plasma cell (BPC)/blood endothelial cell (BEC) niche, while the niche predominated by blood endothelial cells decreased at IL-33 day 3. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation. ILC2s were in direct contact with activated alveolar macrophages and lymphatics. While they expressed ICOS under homeostatic conditions, pronounced expression of MHCII at days 1 and 3 of IL-33 stimulation was observed. Unlike ILC2s, NK\u00a0cells/ILC1s were coenriched near blood\u00a0vessels, next to B\u00a0cells\u00a0and plasma cells. Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatial multiplex imaging for dissecting rare immune cell localization and phenotypes and uncover dynamic, tissue-specific remodeling of ILC niches during early type 2 inflammation."

Physical examination revealed polyp-like masses in bilateral olfactory clefts and middle meatus. The patient was diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and exhibited poor response to an adequate course of topical intranasal corticosteroids, then he enrolled in two clinical trials using anti IL4-R\u03b1 and anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies consequently. The treatment duration for each trial was 16 weeks, respectively. The size of his nasal polyps did not change, which was the main endpoint result for both clinical trials. Then the patient underwent an endoscopic surgery and the pathology was respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma\uff08REAH\uff09, which was further confirmed by the single cell sequencing results of the operative specimen, which were different from normal nasal polyps. The diagnosis of REAH is dependent on pathology and preoperative examination has limited specificity, and REAH may share similarities with nasal polyps. Therefore, REAH should be considered for the differential diagnosis when patients with polyp-like masses exhibit poor response to sufficient treatment using biologics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u672c\u6587\u62a5\u90531\u4f8b\u7537\u6027\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u56e0\u201c\u9f3b\u585e\u4f34\u55c5\u89c9\u51cf\u900020\u4f59\u5e74\u201d\u5c31\u8bca\uff0c\u4f53\u68c0\u53ef\u89c1\u53cc\u4fa7\u4e2d\u9f3b\u9053\u53ca\u55c5\u88c2\u533a\u606f\u8089\u6837\u80bf\u7269\uff0c\u8db3\u91cf\u9f3b\u55b7\u6fc0\u7d20\u6cbb\u7597\u6548\u679c\u4e0d\u4f73\uff0c\u5148\u540e\u4e88\u767d\u7ec6\u80de\u4ecb\u7d204\u53d7\u4f53\u03b1\u4e9a\u57fa\uff08IL4-R\u03b1\uff09\u91cd\u7ec4\u4eba\u6e90\u5316\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u53ca\u6297\u80f8\u817a\u57fa\u8d28\u6dcb\u5df4\u7ec6\u80de\u751f\u6210\u7d20\uff08TSLP\uff09\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\uff0c\u6cbb\u7597\u540e\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u5927\u5c0f\u65e0\u660e\u663e\u6539\u53d8\uff0c\u884c\u9f3b\u5185\u955c\u624b\u672f\u6cbb\u7597\uff0c\u672f\u540e\u75c5\u7406\u63d0\u793a\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u3002\u56e0\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u9053\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u4e34\u5e8a\u68c0\u9a8c\u68c0\u67e5\u65e0\u7279\u5f02\u6027\uff0c\u53ef\u4e0e\u666e\u901a\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8868\u73b0\u7c7b\u4f3c\uff0c\u786e\u8bca\u9700\u4f9d\u8d56\u75c5\u7406\uff0c\u63d0\u793a\u5728\u751f\u7269\u5236\u5242\u6cbb\u7597\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u60a3\u8005\u7597\u6548\u4e0d\u4f73\u65f6\uff0c\u4e34\u5e8a\u533b\u751f\u9700\u63d0\u9ad8\u5bf9\u4e8e\u60a3\u8005\u5408\u5e76\u672c\u75c5\u7684\u8b66\u60d5\u3002."

Real-world data on the use of tezepelumab in patients with severe relapsing CRSwNP remain limited. To describe the initial experience of tezepelumab application in real-world setting in patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate early improvement of symptoms, quality of life, and tolerability of therapy based on available clinical data. We describe clinical observations of 8 patients with recurrent CRSwNP who received tezepelumab 210 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 2 months. Patients were treated in a multidisciplinary day hospital. The total severity of symptoms was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life - using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, the initial endoscopic picture - using the Lund-Kennedy score. In addition, peripheral blood eosinophils, treatment history, comorbidity and tolerability of therapy were evaluated. The primary assessment was performed at the baseline visit and approximately 2 months after the start of treatment. The analysis was descriptive. The series included 8 patients, 6 of whom were women; the mean age was 54.2\u00b19.0 years. All patients had recurrent CRSwNP and a history of surgical interventions. Bronchial asthma was described in 5 of 8 patients, and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or Samster's triad - in 4 of 8. Initially, the average score for VAS was 30.2\u00b11.7, for SNOT-22 - 63.8\u00b13.9. After 2 months, the mean VAS score decreased to 11.0\u00b11.2, the average absolute change amounted to 19.2\u00b11.5 points. The mean SNOT-22 score decreased to 30.1\u00b15.8, with an average absolute change of -33.6\u00b15.9 points. Improvement in VAS and SNOT-22 scores was observed in all 8 patients. The course of treatment was continued for all patients due to clinical improvement. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The obtained observation results are preliminary. Confirmation in larger, systematically assembled cohorts with longer follow-up and standardized assessment of endoscopic, radiographic symptoms and safety indicators is needed.

We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity."

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42421742\nTitle: Mitochondrial transcription factor A: linking mtDNA maintenance, mitochondrial stress responses, and inflammaging.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that directly binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and contributes to mitochondrial genome maintenance. Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression."

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities."

Several pivotal studies demonstrating tezepelumab effectiveness and leading to regulatory and marketing authorization have since been complemented by further evidence, most notably from the following studies: (a) for severe uncontrolled asthma, the PASSAGE phase 4 clinical trial, conducted in a routine clinical practice setting, found that tezepelumab significantly reduced exacerbations, including in underrepresented populations (African-Americans, adolescents, smokers, individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and improved lung function, disease control, and quality of life. (b) For corticosteroid-dependent asthma, the WAYFINDER phase 3b clinical trial reported tezepelumab's effectiveness in reducing both dependency and the number of exacerbations as well as clinical remission in around a quarter of patients. (c) For chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, the WAYPOINT phase 3 clinical trial found that tezepelumab, after therapeutic optimization, decreased nasal polyp size and nasal congestion, improved clinical impact and sense of smell, and reduced the need for surgery. (d) For moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the COURSE phase 2a clinical trial reported a non-significant reduction in exacerbations, but also that reductions were greater for the type 2 phenotype (eosinophils \u2265150\u00a0cells/\u03bcL). In conclusion, up-to-date evidence confirms tezepelumab safety and efficacy in treating severe uncontrolled asthma in routine clinical practice and in managing corticosteroid-dependent asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

As a mitochondrial gatekeeper, voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) mediates the elimination of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy. However, whether VDAC1 contributes to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization reduced infarct volume and improved neurological function following cerebral I/R. We further confirmed that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization promoted mitophagy, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. Additionally, VDAC1 knockdown restored mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, thereby alleviating mitochondria damage in neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation /reoxygenation (OGD/R). Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into the regulation of mitophagy in cerebral I/R injury and suggest that VDAC1 represents a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke."

How environmental allergens activate GSDMD remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that exposing epithelial cells to allergens triggers protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1)-dependent ferritinophagy, elevating intracellular labile iron. This iron pool is essential for noncanonical, protease-independent GSDMD activation. The iron chaperone poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) delivers iron directly to GSDMD, initiating a highly localized Fenton reaction. This generates constrained hydroxyl radicals that cleave GSDMD, releasing the active N-terminal p40 fragment to form pores for IL-33 release. Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Our findings reveal an unconventional, iron-catalyzed, and protease-independent mechanism for GSDMD activation, offering potential new therapeutic targets for allergic inflammatory diseases."

Studying ILCs within their native microenvironment remains challenging due to the low abundance of these tissue-resident immune cells. Here, we applied cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence, namely multiepitope ligand cartography (MELC), in a systemic IL-33-induced type 2 inflammation model to spatio-temporally characterize ILC phenotype and localization in mouse lungs. Niche analysis with all identified cell types resulted in four distinct niches and an expansion of a mixed B and Plasma cell (BPC)/blood endothelial cell (BEC) niche, while the niche predominated by blood endothelial cells decreased at IL-33 day 3. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation. ILC2s were in direct contact with activated alveolar macrophages and lymphatics. While they expressed ICOS under homeostatic conditions, pronounced expression of MHCII at days 1 and 3 of IL-33 stimulation was observed. Unlike ILC2s, NK\u00a0cells/ILC1s were coenriched near blood\u00a0vessels, next to B\u00a0cells\u00a0and plasma cells. Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatial multiplex imaging for dissecting rare immune cell localization and phenotypes and uncover dynamic, tissue-specific remodeling of ILC niches during early type 2 inflammation."

Real-world data on the use of tezepelumab in patients with severe relapsing CRSwNP remain limited. To describe the initial experience of tezepelumab application in real-world setting in patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate early improvement of symptoms, quality of life, and tolerability of therapy based on available clinical data. We describe clinical observations of 8 patients with recurrent CRSwNP who received tezepelumab 210 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 2 months. Patients were treated in a multidisciplinary day hospital. The total severity of symptoms was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life - using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, the initial endoscopic picture - using the Lund-Kennedy score. In addition, peripheral blood eosinophils, treatment history, comorbidity and tolerability of therapy were evaluated. The primary assessment was performed at the baseline visit and approximately 2 months after the start of treatment. The analysis was descriptive. The series included 8 patients, 6 of whom were women; the mean age was 54.2\u00b19.0 years. All patients had recurrent CRSwNP and a history of surgical interventions. Bronchial asthma was described in 5 of 8 patients, and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or Samster's triad - in 4 of 8. Initially, the average score for VAS was 30.2\u00b11.7, for SNOT-22 - 63.8\u00b13.9. After 2 months, the mean VAS score decreased to 11.0\u00b11.2, the average absolute change amounted to 19.2\u00b11.5 points. The mean SNOT-22 score decreased to 30.1\u00b15.8, with an average absolute change of -33.6\u00b15.9 points. Improvement in VAS and SNOT-22 scores was observed in all 8 patients. The course of treatment was continued for all patients due to clinical improvement.

We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity."

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42421742\nTitle: Mitochondrial transcription factor A: linking mtDNA maintenance, mitochondrial stress responses, and inflammaging.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that directly binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and contributes to mitochondrial genome maintenance. Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression."

Moreover, guidelines for initiating, monitoring biologics and assessing treatment response varies across countries lacking consensus. This is the second in a series of narrative reviews on biologics in severe paediatric asthma. The first review summarised key clinical trials findings and offered practical guidance for initiating therapy. In this review, we focus on strategies for monitoring treatment response, the role of asthma biomarkers and the potential of emerging therapies.

"abstract_text": "ID: 42189350\nTitle: Epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis: mechanistic roles and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease affecting over 300\u00a0million people worldwide. The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity."

Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury.

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma."

Previous works suggest that mitochondria are key mediators of this cardiotoxicity. Leakage of mitochondrial contents after DOX treatment, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is thought to activate apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways implicated in cardiomyocyte cell death. Whether the master mitochondrial protease, LonP1, can dampen these pathways and improve cardiomyocyte viability following DOX treatment remains unknown. Human cardiac cells (AC-16) and primary (1\u00b0) human cardiomyocytes were subjected to DOX treatment, followed by bulk RNA-Seq, RT-qPCR, qPCR, and immunoblotting to assess apoptotic signaling, inflammatory signaling, mtDNA release, and LonP1 expression, respectively. Lentivirus transduction of AC-16 cells was used to generate both knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) LonP1 cell lines to determine the effects of altered LonP1 levels on DOX-induced apoptosis and mtDNA release. Further, levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were measured using qPCR from serum samples obtained from patients undergoing DOX treatment to assess the clinical relevance of released mtDNA as a potential biomarker for the development of DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX treatment of AC-16 cells, as well as 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes, upregulated both apoptotic and inflammatory signaling in both cell models. Increased LonP1 levels were also observed under DOX treatment in AC-16 cells and 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes.

Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects. Furthermore, DOX treatment in cancer patients increases plasma mtDNA levels. These findings suggest LonP1 plays a protective role in the heart following DOX treatment, supporting LonP1 as a potential novel therapeutic target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity.

Although inhaled therapies remain the cornerstone of treatment, many patients continue to experience exacerbations despite optimized therapy, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Advances in understanding COPD immunopathology have identified several inflammatory pathways that may be amenable to monoclonal antibody therapies. Traditionally, COPD has been associated with neutrophilic inflammation linked to type-1 and type-3 immune responses. However, clinical trials targeting these pathways, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2, and IL-17, have largely failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. In contrast, increasing evidence supports a role for type-2 inflammation and upstream pathways in a subset of patients with COPD, including individuals without a history of asthma.

Randomized trials of monoclonal antibodies suppressing inflammatory pathways have demonstrated reductions in exacerbations among carefully selected patients with eosinophilic COPD, leading to the recent recommendation of dupilumab and mepolizumab in international treatment guidelines. Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways. A consistent finding is that patients with moderate (nonsevere) COPD and concomitantly elevated blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide derive greater benefit from monoclonal antibodies.

Mitochondria have emerged not only as central hubs of cellular metabolism but also as active modulators of immunity and inflammation. Mitochondrial proteases are essential regulators of mitochondrial protein quality control, dynamics, and stress responses. By selectively degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, they maintain mitochondrial function and bioenergetic capacity. Beyond housekeeping roles, mitochondrial proteases also influence immune signaling by modulating mitochondrial stress pathways, reactive oxygen species production, and the release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial proteases CLPXP, LONP1, i-AAA, m-AAA, as well as processing peptidase OMA1, in immune cells and inflammatory pathologies. We explore the molecular mechanisms by which these mitochondrial proteases regulate immune signaling, integrating the results from immune cells as well as other non-immune cell types, including those involved in cancer, neurodegeneration, renal injury, and other inflammatory pathologies. We explore mitochondrial proteases function as context-dependent regulators of immunometabolic signaling, with effects shaped by cell type, metabolic state, and stress conditions. Finally, we discuss emerging small molecules and drugs targeting mitochondrial proteases to highlight their potential therapeutic role in modulating inflammation. By situating mitochondrial proteases at the crossroads of immunometabolism and therapeutic intervention, this review underscores their untapped potential in the development of innovative anti-inflammatory strategies."

Although the IL-22 receptor is primarily expressed on non-hematopoietic cells, such as airway epithelial cells, the role of IL-22BP in the pathogenesis of asthma remains uncertain. We observed that IL-22BP was upregulated in the airways of wild-type (WT) mice intranasally sensitized and challenged with house dust mite (HDM) extract. To directly elucidate the function of IL-22BP in allergic airway responses, IL-22BP-deficient (IL-22BP-/-) and WT mice were sensitized and challenged with HDM, and airway responses were systematically assessed. IL-22BP-/- mice exhibited significantly lower airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) compared to WT mice following sensitization and challenge with HDM. In contrast, eosinophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid did not differ significantly between the two groups. Similarly, levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17A, and keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) in BAL fluid were comparable between WT and IL-22BP-/- mice.

These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production."

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity."

We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation.

The provided literature supports a highly integrated model where epithelial injury from fungal allergens (e.g., Alternaria) triggers the release of alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, IL-25), which then drive Type 2 inflammation via group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Lon protease (LONP1) serves as a critical regulatory checkpoint in this inflammatory landscape, influencing mitochondrial health, stress adaptation, and the inflammatory activation of structural and immune cells.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis synthesis examines the convergence of epithelial alarmin signaling and mitochondrial metabolic checkpoints (specifically LONP1) in the pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases. The evidence demonstrates that fungal-derived proteolytic stress disrupts epithelial barriers, initiating a cytokine cascade that orchestrates ILC2-mediated Type 2 immunity, while intracellular mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms, regulated by LONP1, dictate cellular susceptibility to these inflammatory drivers.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nIn the context of allergic airway disease, the airway epithelium functions as a primary sensor of environmental insults. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins subsequently engage \"Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) [which] are key effector cells of type 2 immunity,\" facilitating the characteristic features of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRSwNP). \n\nThe role of mitochondrial homeostasis in this process is underscored by the function of \"Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) [as] an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation.\" Disruptions in this mitochondrial surveillance can exacerbate inflammatory outcomes, as LONP1 deficiency is linked to oxidative stress and aberrant cytokine production. Mechanotransduction also plays a part, as \"These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation.\" Furthermore, the modulation of alarmin release is contingent on protease inhibitors, where \"These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses.\" These pathways converge to drive \"Epithelial cells [to] initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention.\" Finally, the phenotypic state of ILC2s is dynamic, as \"A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Alternaria-induced ILC2 activation is not merely a consequence of alarmin signaling but is subject to mechanical checkpoints like Piezo1.\n* LONP1 acts as a potential immunometabolic checkpoint, where mitochondrial protein quality control directly impacts the inflammatory trajectory of the airway epithelium.\n* The severity of Alternaria-driven responses is modulated by SLPI, which serves as a molecular brake on the protease-mediated activation of IL-33.\n* ILC2s exhibit significant phenotypic plasticity, particularly when transitioning toward ILC3-like or steroid-resistant states.\n* The cross-talk between eosinophils and epithelial cells is bi-directional and foundational to tissue-resident remodeling in chronic rhinosinusitis.\n* Mitochondrial dysfunction (driven by LONP1/Drp1) is an upstream contributor to the cytokine/chemokine environment of the asthma/CRSwNP mucosa.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

The evidence confirms that this axis represents a critical frontier in precision medicine for airway diseases.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis of the provided literature confirms that fungal allergens, particularly *Alternaria alternata*, trigger airway inflammation through the release of epithelial alarmins (IL-33, TSLP), which activate Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s). Parallel evidence reveals that the mitochondrial protease LONP1 acts as a checkpoint for metabolic and inflammatory homeostasis, influencing cellular responses to oxidative stress. Collectively, these pathways characterize a shift toward personalized, endotype-driven asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management, highlighting the potential for novel therapeutic interventions targeting epithelial signaling and mitochondrial quality control.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe orchestration of airway inflammation in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis is a complex process defined by epithelial injury. Fungal proteases, such as those from *Alternaria*, disrupt mucosal barriers and initiate a cascade of alarmin release. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. These alarmins effectively prime the local microenvironment, leading to the expansion and activation of ILC2s. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation.\n\nCentral to this cellular activation are the metabolic and proteolytic checkpoints that govern inflammatory survival. Mitochondrial quality control, managed by proteins like LONP1, prevents the maladaptive release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. When these checkpoints fail, or when environmental triggers like allergens create a \"two-hit\" inflammatory state, the immune response becomes chronic and difficult to manage with conventional steroids alone. This has driven the development of targeted biologics. Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against thymic stromal lymphopoietin that inhibits initiation of the type 2 inflammatory cascade. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. This interplay between mitochondrial maintenance and inflammatory secretion is further regulated by intracellular iron and metabolic programs: Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Additionally, Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Finally, MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal allergens can initiate a \"two-hit\" inflammatory model where live spore exposure exacerbates pre-existing, OVA-primed airway damage.\n* LONP1 serves as a dual-function gatekeeper, maintaining mitochondrial DNA integrity while modulating inflammatory cell polarization in response to oxidative stress.\n* The \"residual molecular scar\" phenomenon explains why some patients with ECRS exhibit persistent mucus hyperviscosity even after successful biological blockade of IL-4/IL-13.\n* ILC2s are not merely passive responders; they exhibit subset heterogeneity (migratory, transitional, inflammatory, exhausted) that correlates with clinical severity in nasal polyps.\n* Treg/Th2 imbalance in severe asthma is reversible, as shown by benralizumab therapy restoring immune homeostasis and modifying adhesion molecule expression.\n* The gut-lung axis utilizes tryptophan metabolism to reprogram ILC2s, potentially allowing microbiome-derived postbiotics to serve as non-live therapeutic alternatives.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Evidence confirms that fungal allergens induce oxidative stress and alarmin release, while mitochondrial proteases like LonP1 act as critical checkpoints for managing cellular integrity and preventing inflammatory signaling.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nAsthma and chronic rhinosinusitis are increasingly characterized as diseases of maladaptive epithelial-immune communication. Epithelial cell sentinel activity is triggered by environmental insults, such as *Alternaria alternata*. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins are the upstream orchestrators of Type 2 inflammation. \"Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma.\" \n\nCrucially, the maintenance of epithelial and cellular health under these stressors is governed by mitochondrial homeostasis. \"Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.\" The mitochondrial protease LonP1 is central to these stress responses, as \"LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation\". In cases of mitochondrial damage, such as those exacerbated by drug or environmental stress, proteases act as a \"break\" on pro-inflammatory apoptosis. \"Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects.\" The alignment of these pathways defines a therapeutic window where targeting upstream alarmins, such as TSLP, may yield significant clinical control. \"Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal *Alternaria* allergens act not only as biochemical triggers for alarmins but also cause physical and oxidative damage that necessitates mitochondrial quality control.\n* Mitochondrial proteases (LonP1) serve as an immunometabolic checkpoint, where their dysfunction directly links mitochondrial DNA release to chronic inflammation via the cGAS-STING axis.\n* The IL-22BP decoy receptor has been shown to play a paradoxical role; while IL-22 is typically protective, \"These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production.\"\n* Biologics targeting TSLP, such as tezepelumab, are effective across diverse asthma endotypes, emphasizing the hierarchy of alarmins as \"source-directed\" intervention targets.\n* The metabolic state of ILC2s (glycolysis, lipid metabolism) is an emerging regulator of their plasticity, suggesting that metabolic modulation (e.g., via serotonin catabolism or MAOA inhibition) can alter immune responsiveness.\n* Epigenetic memory, established through DNA methylation and histone modifications in basal epithelial progenitors, explains why asthma is often a relapsing, chronic condition rather than a simple acute response to fungal allergens.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities."

A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting a KIT+ ILC2 state remain poorly understood. We defined the molecular basis for the enhanced plasticity of KIT+ ILC2s and identified signals that induce this phenotype, including links with immune disease susceptibility. We combined bulk as well as single-cell transcriptome (RNA sequencing) and epigenome (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) analysis with in vitro culture assays using primary human KIT+ or KITneg ILC2s and multipotent ILC progenitors. Epigenomic data were integrated with genetic risk variants for major human immune diseases. Multiomic analyses revealed that KIT+ ILC2s maintain a unique hybrid character marked by expression and open chromatin of genes linked to both ILC progenitors and ILC2 biology. KIT+ ILC2s showed extensive epigenomic priming at gene loci related to naive lymphocyte biology, tissue homing, and ILC3 effector functions, including IL17 and IL23R-explaining why KIT+ ILC2s are poised to adopt an ILC3-like phenotype. Genetic risk variants for asthma and autoimmunity are enriched in the poised epigenome of KIT+ ILC2s. Common \u03b3-chain cytokines IL-2/IL-7 induced and maintained a KIT+ phenotype in KITneg ILC2s through STAT5 activation. Our study defines KIT+ ILC2s as existing in a developmentally immature state and carrying a precursor-like epigenome that promotes phenotypic plasticity and is linked to immune disease susceptibility. Importantly, we identify STAT5-mediated cytokine signals as candidates for therapeutic targeting of KIT+ ILC2s."

Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation."

However, the protective regulation of protease-dependent interleukin-33 (IL-33) activation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a serine protease inhibitor, in this protective regulation and aimed to clarify its contribution to type 2 immunity. Methods We evaluated the role of SLPI in the\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced expansion of ILC2s and Th2-type airway inflammation via IL-33, using three models: SLPI-deficient mice, an in vivo SLPI knockdown model with shRNA, and an in vitro model utilizing primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract under various conditions, including plasmid transfection. Results We showed that two mouse models of downregulation of\u00a0SLPI\u00a0gene expression augmented\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced release of IL-33 and the expansion of ILC2s, together with Th2 airway inflammation. Furthermore, two treatment models using\u00a0SLPI\u00a0KO mice, administration of a serine protease inhibitor, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, or anti-IL-33 antibody, attenuated Th2\u00a0airway inflammation. In two in vitro experiments, SLPI, as a serine protease inhibitor, prevented both the release of IL-33 from HBECs and the cleavage of full-length IL-33 to shorter mature forms by neutrophil elastase. Discussion These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses. Low\u00a0SLPI levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting Th2 inflammation, highlighting SLPI as a potential therapeutic target in patients with low SLPI expression."

Here, we identified the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 as a key regulator of ILC2 effector function through translational control. Piezo1 is highly expressed in murine and human ILC2s, and its activation by mechanical stress or the Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1 induces calcium influx, triggering mTOR signaling and selectively enhancing IL-13 protein production. Conditional deletion of Piezo1 in ILC2s reduced mTOR activation and puromycin incorporation, leading to impaired protein synthesis and attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in the IL-33, Alternaria alternata, and bleomycin models. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq confirmed that Piezo1-deficient ILC2s retained Il13 transcription and chromatin accessibility but presented translational suppression, as evidenced by protein\u2012mRNA interactions. Pharmacologic mTOR inhibition phenocopied Piezo1 loss, supporting the functional relevance of the Piezo1-mTOR axis.

Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy."

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

However, precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DEP exposure on airway innate immune cells, focusing on macrophages/monocytes, and their role in asthma exacerbation. Using a murine asthma model, we sensitized and challenged 6-week-old BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). These mice underwent 10 repeated OVA inhalations over three weeks, with and without concurrent DEP inhalation. Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation were assessed. We characterized immune cell populations and their crosstalk,\u00a0focusing on mouse Ly6C+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs) and human CD14+CD16- MoMs. DEP exposure worsened histological scores in the asthmatic lungs and altered the OVA-induced type 2 inflammation profile, leading to increased type 3 inflammation. In terms of lung macrophages, DEP inhalation resulted in the depletion of SiglecF+CD11c+CD11b- resident alveolar macrophages and an increase in SiglecF-CD11b+ MoMs, particularly Ly6C+ MoMs. DEP-exposed Ly6C+ MoMs isolated from the OVA model (DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA) heightened neutrophil chemotaxis and the expression of fibrosis-related genes. DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA also promoted the differentiation of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T helper (Th) cells toward ILC3s and Th17 cells, respectively. Ex vivo DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA transfer also induced significant type 3 inflammation with SiglecF+ neutrophils. In vitro DEP-treated human CD14+CD16- MoMs upregulated neutrophil chemotaxis-related genes and exacerbated non-type 2 inflammation. In conclusion, DEP exposure exacerbates asthma by inducing mixed type 2 and type 3 inflammation in the asthmatic airways through the modulation of Ly6C+ MoMs, which enhance type 3 immunity."

In this study, we identify S100A9 as a macrophage-derived alarmin that is markedly elevated in CRSwNP tissues. Integrative analyses of public bulk transcriptomic datasets and single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases demonstrated that S100A9 expression was predominantly enriched in macrophage clusters, where it showed strong co-expression with canonical M1-associated markers, while exhibiting limited expression in epithelial cell subsets. Spatial and correlation analyses further supported a close association between S100A9\u207a macrophages and epithelial barrier-related gene signatures. Functionally, shRNA-mediated silencing of S100A9 attenuated M1-like macrophage polarization, as evidenced by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and polarization markers, accompanied by a shift toward a less inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Conditioned media derived from S100A9-deficient macrophages significantly mitigated epithelial injury, leading to restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, as indicated by enhanced expression of tight junction proteins, including occludin and claudins. Importantly, S100A9 knockdown disrupted the pathogenic macrophage-epithelial inflammatory feedback loop, thereby dampening sustained inflammatory signaling and limiting epithelial barrier breakdown that perpetuates tissue damage in CRSwNP. Clinically, elevated S100A9 levels correlated with disease severity indices and effectively distinguished a macrophage-enriched inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP, highlighting S100A9 as both a mechanistic driver and a potential biomarker for disease stratification. Collectively, these findings position S100A9 as a mechanistic mediator and a promising therapeutic target for CRSwNP."

We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol.

The provided literature supports a highly integrated model where epithelial injury from fungal allergens (e.g., Alternaria) triggers the release of alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, IL-25), which then drive Type 2 inflammation via group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Lon protease (LONP1) serves as a critical regulatory checkpoint in this inflammatory landscape, influencing mitochondrial health, stress adaptation, and the inflammatory activation of structural and immune cells.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis synthesis examines the convergence of epithelial alarmin signaling and mitochondrial metabolic checkpoints (specifically LONP1) in the pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases. The evidence demonstrates that fungal-derived proteolytic stress disrupts epithelial barriers, initiating a cytokine cascade that orchestrates ILC2-mediated Type 2 immunity, while intracellular mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms, regulated by LONP1, dictate cellular susceptibility to these inflammatory drivers.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nIn the context of allergic airway disease, the airway epithelium functions as a primary sensor of environmental insults. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins subsequently engage \"Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) [which] are key effector cells of type 2 immunity,\" facilitating the characteristic features of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRSwNP). \n\nThe role of mitochondrial homeostasis in this process is underscored by the function of \"Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) [as] an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation.\" Disruptions in this mitochondrial surveillance can exacerbate inflammatory outcomes, as LONP1 deficiency is linked to oxidative stress and aberrant cytokine production. Mechanotransduction also plays a part, as \"These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation.\" Furthermore, the modulation of alarmin release is contingent on protease inhibitors, where \"These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses.\" These pathways converge to drive \"Epithelial cells [to] initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention.\" Finally, the phenotypic state of ILC2s is dynamic, as \"A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Alternaria-induced ILC2 activation is not merely a consequence of alarmin signaling but is subject to mechanical checkpoints like Piezo1.\n* LONP1 acts as a potential immunometabolic checkpoint, where mitochondrial protein quality control directly impacts the inflammatory trajectory of the airway epithelium.\n* The severity of Alternaria-driven responses is modulated by SLPI, which serves as a molecular brake on the protease-mediated activation of IL-33.\n* ILC2s exhibit significant phenotypic plasticity, particularly when transitioning toward ILC3-like or steroid-resistant states.\n* The cross-talk between eosinophils and epithelial cells is bi-directional and foundational to tissue-resident remodeling in chronic rhinosinusitis.\n* Mitochondrial dysfunction (driven by LONP1/Drp1) is an upstream contributor to the cytokine/chemokine environment of the asthma/CRSwNP mucosa.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Biologic therapies targeting IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R have shown efficacy in type 2 inflammatory asthma and CRSwNP, but comprehensive evidence on their efficacy, safety, and research trends is limited. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab in patients with type 2 inflammatory asthma and/or CRSwNP. Primary outcomes included lung function (FEV1), symptom control (ACQ, SNOT-22, nasal polyp score), and serious adverse events (SAEs). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool. Publication bias was evaluated with funnel plots and Trim-and-Fill analysis. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify publication trends and emerging research directions. Results: A total of 23 RCTs involving 8758 participants were included. Biologic therapy was not associated with a significant increase in serious adverse events (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.89-1.50). Compared with control treatment, biologics significantly improved FEV1 (MD = 100.67 mL, 95% CI: 65.94-135.40) and ACQ scores (MD = -0.40, 95% CI: -0.54 to -0.25). In patients with CRSwNP and comorbid asthma, biologics also improved SNOT-22 scores (MD = -13.16, 95% CI: -24.85 to -1.47) and nasal polyp scores (MD = -1.31, 95% CI: -1.95 to -0.68). Dupilumab trials showed larger reductions in nasal polyp score than IL-5/IL-5R-targeted trials, although this indirect comparison should be interpreted cautiously. Bibliometric analysis indicated increasing research attention to upstream epithelial targets such as TSLP. Conclusions: Both IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R-targeted biologics are effective and well-tolerated in type 2 inflammatory airway diseases. IL-4R\u03b1 inhibition shows favorable upper-airway outcomes in CRSwNP with asthma, but head-to-head trials are needed to clarify its comparative efficacy relative to IL-5/IL-5R-targeted therapies. Emerging research directions are shifting toward upstream epithelial alarmin antibodies.\n\nID: 42448002\nTitle: The PEACE-24 Study: Tezepelumab Improves Functional Exercise Capacity and Asthma Control in Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Tezepelumab is effective in improving disease control and reducing exacerbations, regardless of the T2 inflammatory profile 1-5. With its ability to mitigate bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion, improve respiratory function, and modulate the inflammatory response 1,6,7, this drug could play a role in increasing exercise tolerance. Our study aims to evaluate the improvement in exercise tolerance, a less-explored aspect, in patients treated with Tezepelumab using the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Patients treated with Tezepelumab at Respiratory and Allergy Clinic of Genoa Metropolitan Hospital were included in the study. Patients were assessed at baseline and at 24 weeks using spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide measurement, asthma control and quality of life questionnaires (ACT, AQLQ, SNOT22, RAPP), and 6MWT. Pre- and post-treatment data were analyzed using the paired samples t-test and Spearman's correlation. After 24 weeks, a significant improvement was observed in the distance covered in the 6MWT, both in absolute terms (409m vs. 478m, p=0.031) and in terms of % of the predicted theoretical value (73% vs. 82%, p=0.034), with improvement in pre-test dyspnea (Borg 3.55 vs. 1.47, p=0.002) and the average score of the domains related to physical exercise in the AQLQ questionnaire (4.24 vs. 5.80, p=0.01). There was also a positive correlation between improvement in FEV1 and distance covered (\u03c1=0.658, p=0.028). Tezepelumab, with its effects, increases exercise tolerance in patients with severe asthma, highlighting this as a potentially treatable trait to consider in the management of such patients.\n\nID: 42445462\nTitle: Tezepelumab attenuates exertional symptom burden in severe asthma: insights from a real-world cohort.\nAbstract: Exertional symptom burden is an important yet insufficiently characterised component of morbidity in severe asthma. Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), reduces exacerbations and improves asthma control across phenotypes, but its effects on patient-reported exertional symptoms and physical activity limitation remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective study in 24 adults with severe asthma initiating tezepelumab per GINA criteria. The 6-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6), Asthma Control Test (ACT), and mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) were administered at baseline and at 3 (n\u2009=\u200924), 6 (n\u2009=\u200920), and 12 months (n\u2009=\u200916). Pre-specified exercise-related items were analysed alongside total scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. At baseline, patients had poorly controlled asthma (median ACQ-6 3.50/6, ACT 11/25, miniAQLQ 3.53/6) and moderate-to-severe airflow limitation (median FEV\u2081 57% predicted). Total scores improved progressively over 12 months, with changes at months 6 and 12 exceeding the respective minimal clinically important differences. Exertion-related items showed consistent improvements at least as pronounced as total score changes. The largest improvements were in strenuous activity limitation (miniAQLQ Q12: median change +2.0, p\u2009=\u20090.006) and overall activity limitation (ACQ-6 Q3: median change -2.5, p\u2009=\u20090.008). In severe asthma, Tezepelumab is associated with progressive attenuation of exertional symptoms over 12 months of real-world treatment. These associative findings are consistent with mechanistic data and support further prospective studies.\n\nID: 42436595\nTitle: Influenza-induced tuft cell expansion is associated with changes in ILC2 populations in the distal lungs of mice.\nAbstract: Tuft cells act as sentinels that amplify type 2 inflammation primarily by activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 deficiency was associated with an increase in tuft cell and ILC2 expansion, whereas ILC2 deficiency was associated with reduced tuft cell expansion, consistent with a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation and oxidative stress in the tuft cell-deficient mice. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data are consistent with the presence of a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that may help shape inflammatory responses to viral injury and aeroallergens.\n\nID: 42430077\nTitle: Targeting IL-33 in Precision Neuroimmunology: Cellular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies for CNS Disorders.\nAbstract: Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an alarmin cytokine of the IL-1 family, has emerged as a pivotal regulator of neuroimmune interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). Acting through its receptor ST2, IL-33 orchestrates diverse immune responses by modulating microglial polarization, shaping T cell differentiation, activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and engaging mast cell-macrophage regulatory circuits. Across distinct neurological disorders, including epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral malaria, and glioma, IL-33 exerts both protective and pathogenic effects in a context-dependent manner. In epilepsy, IL-33 modulates neuroinflammation and neuronal excitability; in stroke, it attenuates acute neurovascular injury while influencing post-stroke remodeling; in AD, it enhances amyloid-\u03b2 clearance and mitigates chronic neuroinflammation; in MS, it regulates autoimmune demyelination via T cell and innate immune pathways. These shared yet disease-specific mechanisms underscore IL-33's central role in neuroimmune homeostasis and its potential as a precision therapeutic target. Future research integrating multi-disease models, temporal disease staging, and single-cell multi-omics will be essential to define the conditions under which IL-33 modulation yields maximal therapeutic benefit.\n\nID: 42421946\nTitle: Innate airway immune response to fungal allergens.\nAbstract: Fungi are ubiquitous in our environment, and inhaled exposure of their spores is associated with the development of upper and lower respiratory airway diseases including asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities.\n\nID: 42421939\nTitle: New-onset allergic diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection: mechanistic hypotheses and emerging strategies for risk stratification.\nAbstract: Multinational cohort studies consistently associate SARS-CoV-2 infection with elevated incidence of allergic diseases, with hazard ratios of 2.25 for asthma and 1.23 for allergic rhinitis persisting beyond six months post-infection; whether this excess risk reflects de novo allergic sensitization or preferential unmasking of pre-existing subclinical atopy remains to be established. Yet mechanisms bridging acute viral illness to delayed allergic phenotypes remain incompletely understood. This review synthesizes recent advances across epithelial biology, immunology, and neuroimmune interactions to propose a unified mechanistic framework organized around three interconnected axes. First, epithelial injury during COVID-19 triggers passive IL-33 release while inducing active TSLP and IL-25 production. These alarmins act through mechanistically distinct pathways to converge on type 2 immune priming, which is established and reinforced by epigenetic memory in group 2 innate lymphoid cells and dendritic cells. Second, regulatory T cell depletion and, hypothetically, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell epigenetic reprogramming driven by acute interleukin-6 elevation may generate immune cell progeny with persistently altered inflammatory responsiveness, while dendritic cells adopt Th2-polarizing phenotypes that lower the threshold for allergic sensitization; the direct contribution of hematopoietic reprogramming to Th2-skewed allergic outcomes remains to be demonstrated. Third, mast cells undergo direct spike protein-mediated activation via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, and alarmin-primed mast cells establish bidirectional crosstalk with sensory neurons that amplifies neuroinflammation and links long COVID symptoms to heightened allergic susceptibility. Together, these axes define a post-infectious vulnerability window during which allergen encounters trigger exaggerated type 2 responses. Risk stratification incorporating disease severity, circulating biomarkers including immunoglobulin E and eosinophil counts, and genetic susceptibility variants may identify individuals requiring targeted surveillance, while mechanistically informed interventions such as low-dose interleukin-2, mast cell stabilizers, and alarmin-targeted biologics warrant prospective evaluation in convalescent cohorts.\n\nID: 42419778\nTitle: Fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia: from inflammation to fibrosis and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare inflammatory lung disease that typically responds to systemic glucocorticoids but is frequently complicated by relapses and treatment-related toxicity. In recent years, monoclonal antibodies targeting the interleukin-5 (IL-5) pathway have emerged as effective glucocorticoid-sparing therapies in relapsing or glucocorticoid-dependent chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Alongside these advances, a substantial proportion of patients develops progressive fibrotic changes over time, challenging the traditional view of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia as a fully reversible condition. This narrative review summarises current clinical evidence on the use of anti-IL-5/IL-5 receptor subunit \u03b1 biologicals in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, examines the emerging phenotype of fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and discusses the mechanistic links between eosinophilic inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. We also review experimental and clinical data implicating eosinophils, type 2 cytokines, epithelial alarmins and extracellular traps in fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, providing a biological rationale for a continuum from inflammation to irreversible lung remodelling. Available data on the use of IL-5-targeted therapies in fibrotic disease are limited, and no prospective studies have specifically addressed this patient population. Conversely, antifibrotic agents such as nintedanib have demonstrated efficacy in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases but have been rarely studied in eosinophilic lung disorders. We propose a phenotype-adapted therapeutic framework in which sustained control of eosinophilic inflammation aims to prevent fibrotic progression in early disease, while antifibrotic therapy may be considered in patients with established or progressive fibrosis. Fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia thus represents a clinical entity at the crossroads between inflammation and fibrosis, requiring individualised management strategies and dedicated future studies.\n\nID: 42419394\nTitle: New Pharmaceutical Options for Patients with Allergic and Asthma-Related Diseases: Balancing Effectiveness and Safety in Selection of Specific Therapies.\nAbstract: Targeted immunotherapies have expanded treatment options for allergic and immunologic diseases by enabling selective modulation of key inflammatory pathways. However, their growing use necessitates careful evaluation of safety profiles and long-term risks. This review examines the mechanisms of action, safety considerations, and clinical implications of emerging monoclonal antibody and small-molecule therapies used in allergic and immunologic diseases. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE, IL-5/IL-5R\u03b1, IL-4R\u03b1, IL-13, TSLP, and IL-31 demonstrate efficacy across a range of atopic conditions, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. They are generally well tolerated, though associated with adverse events such as anaphylaxis, conjunctivitis, eosinophilia, and herpes virus reactivation. Small-molecule therapies, including Janus kinase (JAK), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors, expand treatment options by targeting intracellular signaling pathways and offering broader immunomodulatory effects. Among these, JAK inhibitors carry boxed warnings for major adverse cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancy, and viral reactivation. Second-generation BTK inhibitors and PDE4 inhibitors demonstrate comparatively favorable safety profiles, though tolerability could remain an issue for PDE4 inhibitors. Despite promising short-term safety and efficacy, long-term risks still pose a question given limited longitudinal data. The increasing complexity of therapeutic selection, underscores the need for shared decision-making and long term surveillance to ensure successful therapeutic outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.\n\nID: 42415819\nTitle: In vitro IgE diagnostics in inhalant allergy: Plant and mold allergens.\nAbstract: Respiratory allergies represent one of the most prevalent immune-mediated disorders worldwide, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. The advent of in vitro diagnostic methods, particularly those based on molecular allergology, has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to inhalant allergies by enabling precise identification of sensitizing allergens at the molecular level. This review presents an analysis of the current status of in vitro diagnostics in respiratory allergy to plants and molds, with emphasis on molecular diagnostics for key allergens from trees (e.g., birch/Betula verrucosa), grasses (Poaceae family), weeds (e.g.mugwort/Artemisia vulgaris, ragweed/Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and molds (e.g. Alternaria, Aspergillus). We discuss major allergenic proteins, diagnostic tools, implications for precision medicine, and integration with precision immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42405352\nTitle: AI-based prediction of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease using nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles.\nAbstract: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a distinct asthma endotype marked by asthma, nasal polyposis, and respiratory reactions to COX-1 inhibitors. Early and accurate identification of AERD remains clinically challenging. We sought to develop and externally validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model that uses nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles to accurately identify AERD. mRNA gene expression profiles were obtained from nasal epithelial brushing in 71 subjects with AERD and 57 without AERD. AI models were trained to predict an AERD diagnosis in a training cohort using gene expression alone, which was then validated on an independent validation cohort. The clinical data analysis revealed noteworthy findings of AERD: 29% reported cutaneous manifestations during nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reactions, 50% experienced symptoms related to alcohol consumption, and 59% required 2 or more sinus surgeries. AERD was predicted with an accuracy of 93% in the training cohort and 83% in the independent validation cohort. The top AERD-predicting genes included IL1RL1 (IL-33 receptor) and CLC (Charcot-Leyden crystal protein), which are known to be important to AERD pathogenesis. Nasal transcriptomics can predict AERD diagnosis accurately and may improve disease understanding, enabling earlier and more precise endotype-based diagnosis and management.\n\nID: 42403892\nTitle: Validity of an Alternaria alternata Skin Prick Test Extract for Diagnosing Sensitization.\nAbstract: Alternaria alternata is a major fungal allergen, yet standardized skin prick test (SPT) extracts are lacking in China, hindering the use of this simple, first-line diagnostic tool. This study aimed to clinically evaluate a novel, domestically developed A. alternata extract for SPT and establish a diagnostic cutoff in a Chinese population. In this prospective, single-center study, 910 patients with allergic diseases were consecutively enrolled. All underwent SPT with the in-house A. alternata extract (Alt a 1: 25.7-34.8\u00a0\u00b5g/mL). Serum-specific IgE (sIgE) (ImmunoCAP\u2122) served as the reference standard. Diagnostic accuracy was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events. The per-protocol set included 610 subjects. The area under the ROC curve was 0.868 (95% CI: 0.839-0.897). The optimal diagnostic cutoff was a mean wheal diameter of 3.25 mm, yielding a sensitivity of 81.10% (95% CI: 76.76%-85.24%) and specificity of 79.32% (95% CI: 74.46%-84.18%). To achieve 95% specificity, the cutoff increased to 4.25 mm. No adverse events were reported among all 910 participants. The novel A. alternata SPT extract demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for detecting Alternaria alternata sensitization and an excellent safety profile. The established cutoff of 3.25 mm provides a population-optimized threshold for identifying sensitized individuals in China. This study addresses a critical gap in allergen standardization and supports the use of SPT as a reliable first-line tool for assessing fungal sensitization in clinical practice.

Physical examination revealed polyp-like masses in bilateral olfactory clefts and middle meatus. The patient was diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and exhibited poor response to an adequate course of topical intranasal corticosteroids, then he enrolled in two clinical trials using anti IL4-R\u03b1 and anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies consequently. The treatment duration for each trial was 16 weeks, respectively. The size of his nasal polyps did not change, which was the main endpoint result for both clinical trials. Then the patient underwent an endoscopic surgery and the pathology was respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma\uff08REAH\uff09, which was further confirmed by the single cell sequencing results of the operative specimen, which were different from normal nasal polyps. The diagnosis of REAH is dependent on pathology and preoperative examination has limited specificity, and REAH may share similarities with nasal polyps. Therefore, REAH should be considered for the differential diagnosis when patients with polyp-like masses exhibit poor response to sufficient treatment using biologics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u672c\u6587\u62a5\u90531\u4f8b\u7537\u6027\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u56e0\u201c\u9f3b\u585e\u4f34\u55c5\u89c9\u51cf\u900020\u4f59\u5e74\u201d\u5c31\u8bca\uff0c\u4f53\u68c0\u53ef\u89c1\u53cc\u4fa7\u4e2d\u9f3b\u9053\u53ca\u55c5\u88c2\u533a\u606f\u8089\u6837\u80bf\u7269\uff0c\u8db3\u91cf\u9f3b\u55b7\u6fc0\u7d20\u6cbb\u7597\u6548\u679c\u4e0d\u4f73\uff0c\u5148\u540e\u4e88\u767d\u7ec6\u80de\u4ecb\u7d204\u53d7\u4f53\u03b1\u4e9a\u57fa\uff08IL4-R\u03b1\uff09\u91cd\u7ec4\u4eba\u6e90\u5316\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u53ca\u6297\u80f8\u817a\u57fa\u8d28\u6dcb\u5df4\u7ec6\u80de\u751f\u6210\u7d20\uff08TSLP\uff09\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\uff0c\u6cbb\u7597\u540e\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u5927\u5c0f\u65e0\u660e\u663e\u6539\u53d8\uff0c\u884c\u9f3b\u5185\u955c\u624b\u672f\u6cbb\u7597\uff0c\u672f\u540e\u75c5\u7406\u63d0\u793a\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u3002\u56e0\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u9053\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u4e34\u5e8a\u68c0\u9a8c\u68c0\u67e5\u65e0\u7279\u5f02\u6027\uff0c\u53ef\u4e0e\u666e\u901a\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8868\u73b0\u7c7b\u4f3c\uff0c\u786e\u8bca\u9700\u4f9d\u8d56\u75c5\u7406\uff0c\u63d0\u793a\u5728\u751f\u7269\u5236\u5242\u6cbb\u7597\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u60a3\u8005\u7597\u6548\u4e0d\u4f73\u65f6\uff0c\u4e34\u5e8a\u533b\u751f\u9700\u63d0\u9ad8\u5bf9\u4e8e\u60a3\u8005\u5408\u5e76\u672c\u75c5\u7684\u8b66\u60d5\u3002.\n\nID: 42397368\nTitle: [First experience of using tezepelumab for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in the Moscow region].\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses associated with severe nasal congestion, olfactory impairment, decreased quality of life, the need for repeated surgical interventions, and the use of systemic glucocorticosteroids. Real-world data on the use of tezepelumab in patients with severe relapsing CRSwNP remain limited. To describe the initial experience of tezepelumab application in real-world setting in patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate early improvement of symptoms, quality of life, and tolerability of therapy based on available clinical data. We describe clinical observations of 8 patients with recurrent CRSwNP who received tezepelumab 210 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 2 months. Patients were treated in a multidisciplinary day hospital. The total severity of symptoms was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life - using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, the initial endoscopic picture - using the Lund-Kennedy score. In addition, peripheral blood eosinophils, treatment history, comorbidity and tolerability of therapy were evaluated. The primary assessment was performed at the baseline visit and approximately 2 months after the start of treatment. The analysis was descriptive. The series included 8 patients, 6 of whom were women; the mean age was 54.2\u00b19.0 years. All patients had recurrent CRSwNP and a history of surgical interventions. Bronchial asthma was described in 5 of 8 patients, and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or Samster's triad - in 4 of 8. Initially, the average score for VAS was 30.2\u00b11.7, for SNOT-22 - 63.8\u00b13.9. After 2 months, the mean VAS score decreased to 11.0\u00b11.2, the average absolute change amounted to 19.2\u00b11.5 points. The mean SNOT-22 score decreased to 30.1\u00b15.8, with an average absolute change of -33.6\u00b15.9 points. Improvement in VAS and SNOT-22 scores was observed in all 8 patients. The course of treatment was continued for all patients due to clinical improvement. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

Therapies for Type 2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma and Eosinophilic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Safety.\nAbstract: Severe asthma affects a minority of patients but accounts for disproportionate morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The development of targeted biologic therapies has revolutionized treatment, offering precision medicine approaches based on underlying inflammatory endotypes. Currently approved biologics target immunoglobulin E (omalizumab), interleukin (IL)-5 or its receptor (mepolizumab, reslizumab, depemokimab, and benralizumab), IL-4 receptor \u03b1 (dupilumab), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (tezepelumab). These agents have demonstrated substantial reductions in exacerbation rates, improved lung function, corticosteroid-sparing effects, and enhanced quality of life across diverse patient populations. This review examines the mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, safety profiles, and optimal patient selection strategies for biologic therapies in severe asthma and eosinophilic COPD.\n\nID: 42381636\nTitle: Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions.\nAbstract: Cytotoxic type 2 T cells (Tc2) are increasingly recognized as contributors to type 2 inflammation, including asthma, yet the metabolic programs that support their function remain poorly defined. We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity.\n\nID: 42379714\nTitle: Characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with severe asthma receiving tezepelumab after marketing approval in Spain (T-ROSS II study): an observational study protocol.\nAbstract: Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease characterised by airway inflammation, reversible airflow obstruction and airway hyper-responsiveness. Most patients with severe asthma (SA) remain uncontrolled despite the availability of multiple therapies, representing a significant global health burden.Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a central role in asthma initiation via both allergic and non-allergic mechanisms as well as in the persistence of airway inflammation in patients with asthma, acting upstream in the inflammatory cascade.Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets TSLP, has shown clinical efficacy and safety in pivotal trials in patients with T2 and non-T2 asthma. Tezepelumab was approved for use in Europe in October 2022, and the marketing authorisation was issued in Spain in October 2023. The T-ROSS II study is a retrospective, observational, single-arm, multicentre study planned to include 400 patients aged \u226512 years treated in SA units. T-ROSS II will represent the largest published series of patients with SA who initiated tezepelumab after its market authorisation.Eligible patients must have at least 12 months of medical history prior to treatment initiation and a minimum of 3 months of follow-up data recorded in the electronic health records.The co-primary outcomes are to describe baseline patient demographics and clinical characteristics and evaluate changes in the annualised asthma exacerbation rate before and after the initiation of tezepelumab. These findings will complement clinical trial data and inform physicians and healthcare decision-makers about the real-world effectiveness and utilization of tezepelumab in patients with SA. This study is expected to provide valuable insights into the clinical outcomes and treatment patterns of this population. The final protocol of the study has been approved by the ethics committee/Institutional Review Board (EC/IRB) of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre (Madrid, Spain) (EC/IRB number: 25/226). The results will be disseminated through scientific publications, including manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international congresses.

However, the secretory profile of ITGB5 in induced sputum and its clinical significance in asthma remains poorly understood. This study aimed to measure ITGB5 levels in induced sputum supernatant from asthma patients and investigate its potential clinical implications. We enrolled 78 participants (18 healthy controls and 60 asthma patients) and quantified ITGB5 protein levels in induced sputum supernatant using ELISA. Correlations between ITGB5 and inflammatory markers, as well as airway obstruction parameters, were analyzed. Subsequently, we performed comparative analyses to evaluate variations in inflammatory cytokines between high- and low-ITGB5 expression subgroups. Induced sputum ITGB5 levels were significantly elevated in asthma patients and markedly increased following inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. ITGB5 levels showed positive correlations with Th2-associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP) and Th2 signature genes (SERPINB2, CLCA1, and POSTN). Notably, IL-5, FeNO, and POSTN were significantly higher in the high-ITGB5(n\u2009=\u200930) than the low- ITGB5 (n\u2009=\u200930) expression group. Furthermore, sputum ITGB5 levels were inversely associated with pulmonary function (FEV1% pred, FVC% pred, MEF% pred, MEF25% pred and MEF50% pred). Increased sputum ITGB5 in asthma was positively associated with inflammatory mediators and negatively correlated with pulmonary function, suggesting that ITGB5 upregulation may be involved in airway inflammation and obstruction in asthma pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42364850\nTitle: Biomarkers for COPD with Type 2 Inflammation.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disease traditionally characterized by neutrophilic inflammation. However, a distinct Type 2 (T2) inflammatory endotype is present in 20-40% of patients. This review examines the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of T2 inflammation in COPD, focusing on established and emerging biomarkers to identify this treatable trait and guide targeted therapies. Orchestrated by Th2 cells and innate lymphoid cells, T2 inflammation involves signature cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which drive eosinophilic tissue infiltration, mucus hypersecretion, airway hyperreactivity, and accelerated remodeling. These processes correlate with increased exacerbation risk and more rapid lung function decline. Blood eosinophil count (BEC) is the most validated and accessible biomarker, with established thresholds guiding the use of inhaled corticosteroids and biologics. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and serum IgE offer complementary predictive value, and combining biomarkers may enhance the identification of responders to specific targeted agents. Clinical trials of biologics, such as dupilumab and mepolizumab, have validated the therapeutic potential of targeting T2 pathways in selected populations, though variable success with other agents highlights unique aspects of COPD pathophysiology and persistent knowledge gaps. Precision medicine, informed by a nuanced interpretation of reliable T2 biomarkers, is crucial for optimizing outcomes in this significant patient subgroup.\n\nID: 42363337\nTitle: Modern approaches in asthma management: Revolutionizing severe asthma treatment with biologics.\nAbstract: There have been advancements in the management of asthma among adults over the last two decades. The type 2 processes of airways inflammation and the use of type 2 biomarkers fractional expired nitric oxide and eosinophils have been further illuminated owing to such advancements. Moreover, epithelial cells are appearing as noteworthy elements for inflammation via the production of alarmins to start the local injury along with downstream pathways. Five new biologics have revolutionised severe asthma therapy apart from omalizumab, which are mepolizumab, benralizumab, reslizumab, dupilumab and tezepelumab. These biologics prevent the exacerbations significantly, thereby sparing the use of systemic corticosteroids and their adverse effects. For both rescue and maintenance therapies, the available guidelines prove the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists, like formoterol. Future guidelines ought to incorporate phenotype/endotype-focussed management to acquire further precision-directed therapy.\n\nID: 42351791\nTitle: The Complement System and Its Role in Eosinophilic Inflammation in Respiratory Diseases.\nAbstract: The complement system is a key link between innate and adaptive immunity, contributing to pathogen elimination, immune regulation, and tissue homeostasis. Its activation is not only crucial in infections, such as COVID-19, but also plays a major role in the pathomechanism of several non-infectious respiratory diseases, such as asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis and lung cancer. Complement components can modulate the quality of the adaptive immune responses, including through the regulation of T2 immunity and eosinophilic inflammation, thereby linking natural defense to complex immune processes. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that dysregulated complement activity contributes to inflammation, thrombosis and tissue damage in a wide range of respiratory diseases. The study of the various components of this cascade system may therefore be promising from both a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. Some of its components may serve as biomarkers for distinguishing between different phenotypes of certain lung diseases, while their targeted inhibition or modulation may open the way towards new treatment options. A better understanding of the complement system's integrative and regulatory role not only allows for a deeper insight into immunological interactions but may also bring us closer to phenotype-oriented, immunology-based pulmonology, which may have real clinical benefits in the future.\n\nID: 42345643\nTitle: Reticular Basement Membrane Remodelling Regulates Bronchial Epithelial Attachment, Barrier Integrity and Inflammatory Signalling in Asthma.\nAbstract: Asthma is characterized by persistent airway epithelial dysfunction and remodelling of the reticular basement membrane (RBM). In healthy airways, the RBM is primarily composed of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins laminin and collagen-IV, but in remodelled asthmatic airways, the RBM has increased deposition of collagen-I, -III and fibronectin. Here, we systematically compared the effects of collagen-I, -III, -IV, fibronectin, laminin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) control on bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) from six healthy controls and seven individuals with asthma. Epithelial attachment, spreading and barrier function were assessed in real time over 72 h using electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing. Cell culture supernatants were analyzed for release of epithelial cytokines, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-11 using ELISA. BECs from both control and asthma donors had faster cell attachment, spreading, and barrier formation on collagen-I, -III, -IV, and fibronectin compared to laminin and BSA. BECs from both control and asthma donors cultured on collagen -I and -III produced more TSLP, but had no effect on IL-6, IL-8, and IL-11 expression. In summary, remodelling of the RBM in asthma may promote epithelial barrier formation whilst simultaneously enhancing epithelial-derived Th2 inflammation through increased TSLP release.\n\nID: 42341000\nTitle: Inflammatory Signatures Beyond Th1/Th2 Endotypes Provide Insights Into Postoperative Recurrence in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents a spectrum of inflammatory endotypes, driven by distinct T helper (Th) immune responses. The high rate of recurrent disease despite appropriate medical and surgical interventions highlights the need for improved characterization beyond the traditional type 2 and non-type 2 phenotypes to better inform personalized treatment. Sinonasal tissue samples were obtained from 105 CRS patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. Histopathologic evaluation classified inflammatory patterns by predominant cell type and severity. Levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17- and epithelial-derived cytokines were quantified using a multiplex immunoassay targeting 12 markers. Clinical, radiologic, and follow-up data were correlated with inflammatory patterns and cytokine profiles. Type 2 CRS, identified in 65 patients (62%), was associated with higher levels of IL-5, IL-13, and TSLP (p = 0.0002, <0.0001, and 0.02, respectively), whereas IL-8 was elevated in non-type 2 disease (p = 0.022). Recurrence occurred in 22 patients (21%) and was associated with asthma (p = 0.002), anosmia (p = 0.006), prior steroids use (p = 0.044), lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory pattern (p = 0.022), higher IL-13 (p = 0.045), and IL-33 (p = 0.031). Recurrence rates did not differ between inflammatory profiles (Th2, Th1/Th17, and mixed). Asthma remained the only independent predictor of recurrence in multivariable Cox model (HR 2.48, 95% CI 1.003-8.042, p = 0.049). Elevated IL-33 levels and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation were associated with postoperative recurrence, underscoring the role of epithelial\u2012immune signaling in persistent mucosal inflammation, whereas comorbid asthma remained the only independent predictor of refractory CRS.\n\nID: 42331527\nTitle: [Analysis of allergen sensitization profile in children at a hospital in Suzhou City from 2022 to 2024].\nAbstract: To systematically characterize the allergen sensitization profile among children attending a tertiary hospital in Suzhou and to explore its associations with age, sex, and clinical disease phenotypes, thereby providing regional evidence for precision prevention and control strategies. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted involving 3 374 children aged 0-18 years who attended the Department of Pediatrics of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from November 2022 to May 2024. Participants were stratified into three age groups: infants (0 0.05). During exacerbation, sST2 levels were markedly elevated compared with remission (p < 0.001), whereas vitamin D levels were significantly reduced (p = 0.038). A significant negative correlation was identified between sST2 and 25(OH)D (r = -0.333, p = 0.016). Conclusions: The presence of asthma and the severity of exacerbations are associated with elevated circulating sST2 levels and reduced vitamin D levels. These findings suggest a regulatory interaction between vitamin D and the IL-33/ST2 axis in airway inflammation and indicate that targeting this axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy.\n\nID: 42140395\nTitle: Emerging insights into the presentation, pathophysiology, and management of eosinophilic esophagitis.\nAbstract: Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease of the esophagus with substantial clinical manifestations including dysphagia, odynophagia, food impaction and failure to thrive in children. New evidence is emerging regarding phenotypic and symptom variations in diverse EoE populations. EoE pathogenesis involves impaired epithelial barrier function, antigen-driven Type 2 inflammation, and eosinophilic infiltration, yet eosinophil and mast cell depletion does not improve patient symptoms. Recent research has unveiled new potential mechanisms of epithelial dysfunction, including the role of epithelial alarmins in inducing downstream inflammatory cascades. New clinical scoring tools are emerging to improve diagnosis and monitor disease severity. Therapeutic approaches for EoE are rapidly evolving with a wider range of therapies becoming available. Dietary elimination, topical corticosteroids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and anti-type 2 biological agents aim to provide histologic and symptomatic relief. Overall, this review aims to present recent advances in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of EoE, while also extending this information to the broader field of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs).\n\nID: 42133244\nTitle: Aeroallergens in Atopic Dermatitis and Chronic Urticaria.\nAbstract: Aeroallergens are well established triggers of allergic rhinitis and asthma, yet their contribution to allergic skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and chronic urticaria (CU) remains incompletely understood. This article reviews the molecular basis of aeroallergen-driven skin disease in AD and CU as well as management strategies. Aeroallergen triggered skin disease involves epithelial barrier disruption, innate immune activation, and neuroimmune amplification. Allergen disruption of the epithelial barrier through PAR-2 and TLR-mediated signaling, induces alarmins that sustain an IL-31-driven itch-scratch cycle. Biologics targeting these pathways reshape these cytokine networks, while checkpoint inhibitors show promise for durable remission. In CU, house dust mite sensitization correlates with basophil hyperreactivity and greater disease severity. Aeroallergen triggered inflammation involves overlapping barrier dysfunction, innate immune activation, and neuroimmune pathways that extend beyond traditional IgE-mediated allergic responses. Future research should prioritize endotype-based patient stratification and quantify the impact of aeroallergen exposure on chronic skin disease trajectory.\n\nID: 42121933\nTitle: Eosinophil-Epithelial Cell Crosstalk at Mucosal Barriers: From Homeostatic Regulation to Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that reside constitutively within mucosal tissues, where they engage in bidirectional communication with the epithelial cells lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy.\n\nID: 42110556\nTitle: Tezepelumab: redefining TSLP blockade in severe asthma through mechanistic precision and translational pharmacology.\nAbstract: Approximately 40%-50% of patients prescribed GINA Step 4-5 ICS/LABA therapy remain inadequately controlled, and existing biologics are restricted by phenotypic eligibility criteria that exclude the substantial type 2-low patient population. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived alarmin cytokine that functions as a key upstream orchestrator of both type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory pathways in asthma pathogenesis. Tezepelumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, represents the first biologic approved for severe asthma without phenotype- or biomarker-restricted eligibility, including type 2-low disease, with the caveat that the magnitude of benefit is somewhat smaller in T2-low patients. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of tezepelumab's molecular pharmacology, structural basis of target engagement, clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, pivotal clinical trial evidence, safety data, and regulatory positioning. We systematically evaluate tezepelumab's mechanistic rationale, therapeutic efficacy, biomarker correlations, and real-world implementation considerations, including pharmacoeconomic and access barriers. Furthermore, we critically discuss the current limitations of clinical trial evidence, population selection biases, real-world applicability concerns, and the need for long-term outcome data. Future research directions encompassing predictive biomarker development, expansion into non-asthma indications, real-world evidence generation, and advanced mechanistic studies are outlined. Tezepelumab exemplifies precision respiratory medicine by targeting upstream inflammatory cascades and establishes a paradigm for next-generation asthma therapeutics.\n\nID: 42097684\nTitle: Azithromycin enhances epithelial antiviral immunity in uncontrolled asthma: results from the AZIMUNE randomized controlled trial.\nAbstract: Viral respiratory infections are the leading trigger of asthma exacerbations and impaired epithelial type I and III interferon responses may contribute to more severe exacerbations. Azithromycin reduces exacerbations clinically, but its effects on epithelial antiviral immunity remain unclear. This study investigated whether azithromycin treatment enhances airway epithelial antiviral responses and modulates alarmin concentration in patients with uncontrolled asthma. In the investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled AZIMUNE trial, 40 adults with uncontrolled asthma were randomized (1:1) to azithromycin (500\u2005mg, three times/week) or placebo (500\u2005mg/week) for 12\u2005weeks. Bronchial epithelial cells were obtained via bronchoscopy at baseline and after week 12, and cultured and infected ex vivo with rhinovirus. Protein levels of IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03bb, alarmins (IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)), and proinflammatory cytokines were quantified. Azithromycin significantly increased rhinovirus-induced concentration of IFN-\u03b2 (p=0.047) and IFN-\u03bb (p=0.013) in azithromycin group (n=16) compared with baseline, whereas no change was seen in the placebo group (n=16). Azithromycin treatment also reduced IL-33 concentration (p=0.001), while TSLP levels were unaffected. Clinical outcomes improved numerically in the azithromycin group, but differences versus placebo were not statistically significant. Azithromycin enhances epithelial antiviral immunity and attenuates IL-33 concentration in response to rhinoviral infection in asthma. The dual immunomodulatory effect of azithromycin supports its role as adjunctive therapy to prevent virus-induced exacerbations.\n\nID: 42093293\nTitle: Targeting Inflammatory Alarmin S100A9 Modulates Activation of Pro-Inflammatory Macrophage to Protect Nasal Epithelial Cells From LPS-Induced Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) exhibits pronounced endotypic heterogeneity, with macrophages serving as key drivers of sustained mucosal inflammation. In this study, we identify S100A9 as a macrophage-derived alarmin that is markedly elevated in CRSwNP tissues. Integrative analyses of public bulk transcriptomic datasets and single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases demonstrated that S100A9 expression was predominantly enriched in macrophage clusters, where it showed strong co-expression with canonical M1-associated markers, while exhibiting limited expression in epithelial cell subsets. Spatial and correlation analyses further supported a close association between S100A9\u207a macrophages and epithelial barrier-related gene signatures. Functionally, shRNA-mediated silencing of S100A9 attenuated M1-like macrophage polarization, as evidenced by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and polarization markers, accompanied by a shift toward a less inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Conditioned media derived from S100A9-deficient macrophages significantly mitigated epithelial injury, leading to restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, as indicated by enhanced expression of tight junction proteins, including occludin and claudins. Importantly, S100A9 knockdown disrupted the pathogenic macrophage-epithelial inflammatory feedback loop, thereby dampening sustained inflammatory signaling and limiting epithelial barrier breakdown that perpetuates tissue damage in CRSwNP. Clinically, elevated S100A9 levels correlated with disease severity indices and effectively distinguished a macrophage-enriched inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP, highlighting S100A9 as both a mechanistic driver and a potential biomarker for disease stratification. Collectively, these findings position S100A9 as a mechanistic mediator and a promising therapeutic target for CRSwNP.\n\nID: 42090232\nTitle: Dupilumab Alleviates IL-13-Induced Nasal Epithelial Barrier Dysfunction by Regulating Claudin-10 Expression.\nAbstract: Nasal epithelial barrier impairment is a crucial pathology in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). However, the mechanisms driving tight junctions (TJs) disruption remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate the role of IL-13 in TJs breakdown and epithelial remodeling, and to evaluate whether dupilumab can restore epithelial integrity under Type-2 inflammatory conditions. Differentially expressed TJs-related genes were identified by integrating the GSE136825 dataset with clinical samples from 23 healthy controls and 73 CRSwNP patients. The effects of IFN-\u03b3, IL-13, IL-17A, and dupilumab on epithelial barrier function and claudin-10 (CLDN10) expression were investigated in seven human nasal epithelial cells using transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), RT-qPCR, WB, and immunofluorescence. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Spearman's rank correlation. CLDN10 was identified as the most significantly downregulated TJs in CRSwNP and negatively correlated with eosinophil infiltration (r = -0.4414, p < 0.0001). In vitro, IL-13 markedly reduced CLDN10 and TER levels, and induced epithelial remodeling with fewer club cells and ciliated cells and more goblet cells (all p < 0.05). Additionally, dupilumab effectively mitigated IL-13-induced CLDN10 loss, restored barrier integrity, and normalized epithelial alarmins, including IL-25 and TSLP expression (all p < 0.05). IL-13-driven Type-2 inflammation disrupts nasal epithelial barrier integrity by downregulating CLDN10 and altering epithelial cell differentiation. Dupilumab counteracts these effects by restoring CLDN10 expression and epithelial barrier function, highlighting CLDN10 as a crucial mediator of barrier dysfunction and a potential therapeutic target in CRSwNP.\n\nID: 42061467\nTitle: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells: Where are we 15 years out?\nAbstract: Over the past 2 decades, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have emerged as critical early responders in immune responses, orchestrating inflammation through cytokine production independent of antigen specificity. Early after their discovery, group 2 ILCs (ILC2s) were found to produce high levels of IL5 and IL13 upon stimulation by epithelial-derived alarmins IL33, IL25, and TSLP. Since then, a robust amount of literature has emerged that places ILC2s central to type 2 inflammatory diseases, including rhinosinusitis and asthma. Recent work continues to rapidly expand our knowledge of how ILC2s are modulated and contribute to immune disease and maintain homeostasis. This review will focus on recent updates to our understanding of ILC2s in the context of neural and endocrine modulation, memory/trained immunity, cellular fate/plasticity, and adaptive type 2 responses.\n\nID: 42058217\nTitle: Biofilm adaptation and mucosal immune dysregulation in recalcitrant chronic rhinosinusitis: from pathogenesis to a therapeutic roadmap.\nAbstract: The management of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is frequently complicated by treatment recalcitrance, a phenomenon primarily driven by the persistence of microbial biofilms. Beyond their traditional role as a physical barrier against antibiotics, recent evidence positions biofilms as sophisticated immune modulators that actively perpetuate mucosal dysbiosis. This review synthesizes the pathological continuum of biofilm-associated CRS, elucidating how biofilm derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) trigger the release of epithelial alarmins (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25), thereby fueling a maladaptive Type 2 inflammatory loop. We further examine bacterial survival strategies, such as the formation of small colony variants (SCVs) and intracellular \"Trojan Horse\" reservoirs, which render conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and antimicrobial monotherapies insufficient for complete eradication. Crucially, we discuss the current diagnostic disconnect where standard cultures fail to detect biofilm burdens. Finally, we propose a therapeutic paradigm shift from a purely bactericidal approach to one of ecological restoration. By integrating cutting-edge strategies, including matrix-degrading enzymes, bacteriophage cocktails, and Nasal Microbiota Transplantation (NMT), we construct a multi-dimensional framework aiming to restore sinonasal homeostasis. Together, these emerging strategies support a shift from pathogen suppression alone toward ecological and immunologic rebalancing of the sinonasal mucosa, offering a more durable conceptual framework for overcoming treatment recalcitrance.\n\nID: 42032301\nTitle: IL-9 and Blimp-1 protect the transcriptional identity of group 2 innate lymphocytes in allergic asthma.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is driven by type 2 immune responses, including type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although ILC2s are activated by the tissue alarmins interleukin (IL)-33 and IL-25, these signals do not intrinsically enforce type 2 identity and the mechanisms that maintain type 2 cytokine expression remain unclear. Here we show that allergen-induced IL-33 and IL-25 rapidly induce IL-9, which in turn upregulates the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1 in ILC2s. Blimp-1 sustains type 2 immunity by directly repressing type 1 inflammatory programs, including expression of interferon-\u03b3 and tumor necrosis factor. Deletion of Blimp-1 in ILC2s increased type 1 cytokine production and reduced IL-5 and IL-13 expression, eosinophil recruitment and mucus production in the lung. In contrast, IL-9 expression was enhanced in the absence of Blimp-1, leading to increased mast cell recruitment. Together, these findings identify Blimp-1 as a key regulator of ILC2 transcriptional fidelity that stabilizes type 2 inflammation while constraining divergent inflammatory programs during allergic responses.\n\nID: 42028242\nTitle: Overview of allergic disease: Pathogenesis of allergic inflammation - WAO White Book on Allergy 2026 - 2.1.\nAbstract: Allergic inflammation underlies several diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis). It involves a great array of cells and molecules of innate and adaptive immunity. Components of the innate inflammatory pathways, among them epithelium receptors, alarmins and ILC2, are the earliest participants in some inflammatory processes, mainly the house dust mite induced bronchial inflammation in asthma. The importance of innate mechanisms, not only as a necessary step for inducing adaptive Th2 response but also to maintain chronic inflammation, is being increasingly recognized in recent years. In addition, the specificity of the Th2 cells and IgE is not only a crucial component of allergic inflammation but allows also identification of the causal inducers and their effects on eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils recruitment and activation. The regulatory mechanisms of the allergic responses include Treg and Breg activity but the most important action to control this process is stopping the specific allergen exposure. However, this is very difficult to achieve in asthma because, in general, not all the allergens involved can be identified; in addition, non-immune pathways play also a role. Since most people exposed to proallergic environments do not develop allergic diseases and it is well known that these conditions run in families, their genetic and epigenetic influences are a matter of intensive research. In this review we make an update of the basic mechanisms of allergic inflammation, trying to identify important pathways that involve both innate and adaptive immunity, including environmental factors that can modify important regulators of immunity such as intestinal microbiota and air pollution.\n\nID: 42014025\nTitle: Emerging Targeted Therapies in Asthma: From Upstream Epithelial Biology to Novel Biologic and Small-Molecule Strategies.\nAbstract: Biologic and targeted small-molecule therapies have revolutionized the management of severe asthma by specifically targeting key inflammatory pathways. These advances have led to significant reductions in exacerbations, improved lung function, and decreased dependence on corticosteroids. However, a substantial number of patients still experience breakthrough exacerbations and inadequate disease control, indicating that there are residual inflammatory mechanisms beyond the classical type-2 pathways. Current biologics that target immunoglobulin E, interleukin-5, interleukin-4 receptor alpha, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin show efficacy in biomarker-defined populations. Yet, their clinical benefits are closely tied to baseline type-2 biomarkers, and they often fall short for patients with non-type-2 or mixed inflammatory phenotypes. Emerging evidence from transcriptomic and clinical studies suggests that factors such as epithelial dysfunction, innate immune activation, and tissue repair pathways contribute to ongoing disease instability, even with targeted cytokine blockade. These insights have spurred the development of new therapeutic strategies, including biologics aimed at upstream epithelial alarmins like interleukin-33, oral small-molecule inhibitors such as Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, lineage-directed eosinophil-suppressing agents, inhaled biologics, and nanobody-based therapies. Additionally, long-acting and ultra- long-acting biologics are designed to enhance treatment durability and adherence, while bispecific antibodies integrate both upstream and downstream inflammatory inhibition into a single molecular construct. These advancements signify a shift towards broader and more sustained modulation of inflammatory pathways. Future progress in asthma treatment will hinge on integrating insights from epithelial biology, refining biomarker- guided patient selection, and developing multispecific and upstream-targeting therapies to address persistent disease heterogeneity and improve long-term clinical outcomes.\n\nID: 41960844\nTitle: KCNJ2 is Required for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation That Drives Allergic Airway Inflammation and Remodeling.\nAbstract: Airway inflammation and remodeling are cardinal features of asthma pathogenesis. Genome-wide association studies have shown that several SNPs of KCNJ2, a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family, are associated with asthma in patients. However, the role of KCNJ2 in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the Kcnj2 serves as a critical regulator of airway epithelial inflammation and remodeling. KCNJ2 expression is significantly reduced in the airway epithelium of asthmatic patients, which is associated with goblet cell metaplasia and mucus overproduction. Epithelial cell depletion of Kcnj2 attenuates airway inflammation, Th2 inflammatory response, goblet cell metaplasia, and mucus overproduction in the airways of asthmatic mice. In cultured primary airway epithelial cells of asthmatic patients, KCNJ2 inhibition also hampers goblet cell metaplasia, mucus production, and lung epithelial cell-derived alarmins expression. This process appears to be mediated, at least in part, through inhibition of NLRP3 by restricting Ca2+ influx and K+ efflux, as pharmacological activation of NLRP3 diminishes the KCNJ2 inhibition-ameliorated airway phenotypes. These results provide insight into the role of Kcnj2 in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthmatic conditions.\n\nID: 41947372\nTitle: Biologics for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps: from downstream cytokine blockade to upstream epithelial targets.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a heterogenous inflammatory disease that often persist despite optimal medical and surgical treatment. Advances in the understanding of CRS immunopathophysiology have led to the development of biologic therapies targeting specific inflammatory pathways. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the downstream biologics and the latest update on the next generation upstream biologics therapies in CRSwNP, with focus on endotype-driven treatment selection. Biologic therapies targeting downstream mediators of type 2 inflammation, including immunoglobulin E and interleukins interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13, have demonstrated substantial clinical benefit in selected patients. Nevertheless, CRSwNP commonly involves overlapping inflammatory endotypes, which may limit treatment response. Newer biologics targeting upstream epithelial-derived cytokines offer broader approach by modulating multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously and may address current therapeutic gaps. The development of long-acting biologics also improves treatment convenience and adherence. Biologic therapy has shifted CRSwNP management towards a more personalized, mechanism-based approach. Upstream-targeted treatments represent an important step forward, particularly for patients with refractory or mixed disease. Future research should focus on biomarker-guided therapy and long-term clinical outcomes.\n\nID: 41939213\nTitle: Targeting the Epithelial Alarmin Axis with Biomedical Nanoparticles: A New Frontier in Allergic Asthma Therapy.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease driven by type 2 immune responses, whose pathogenesis correlates with the release of epithelial alarm proteins-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-25 (IL-25), and interleukin-33 (IL-33)-by airway epithelial cells following barrier injury. This paper systematically reviews the cutting-edge applications of nanoparticles (NPs) in targeting the epithelial alarmin signaling axis and its downstream immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, Th2 cells, and regulatory T cells. By systematically reviewing research progress on nanoparticles in allergic asthma treatment, this review provides crucial theoretical support and technical frameworks for developing precise, efficient, and less-side-effect asthma therapies. It offers forward-looking guidance for advancing asthma treatment from laboratory to clinical translation.\n\nID: 41922900\nTitle: Tim-3 agonist restrains ILC2 function and attenuates airway hyperreactivity via NLK pathway.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is promoted by type 2 inflammation involving cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, with group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) playing a key pathogenic role. Here, we identify T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) as a negative regulator of ILC2 function. Tim-3 expression is upregulated in activated pulmonary ILC2s, and engagement with Tim-3 agonists inhibits ILC2 activation, proliferation, and type 2 cytokine production via the Nemo Like Kinase (NLK) signaling pathway and suppression of mitochondrial metabolism. In vivo, Tim-3 agonists alleviate airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and inflammation in both IL-33- and Alternaria alternata-induced AHR models, while ILC2-specific Tim-3 deletion exacerbates AHR. These results are confirmed in human ILC2s and humanized mice, supporting the translational relevance. Our findings establish Tim-3 as an inhibitory checkpoint for ILC2s and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target in allergic asthma and other ILC2-mediated diseases.\n\nID: 41904701\nTitle: STAT6-IP-dependent inhibition of type 2 innate and Th2 adaptive immunity in the murine lung.\nAbstract: Type 2 airway inflammation is one of the main characteristics of allergen-induced asthma. Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity.\n\nID: 41904357\nTitle: Current and Emerging Biologic Therapies for Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by persistent symptoms, frequent exacerbations, and corticosteroid dependence despite optimized therapy. Seven monoclonal antibodies are currently approved, targeting immunoglobulin E (IgE;\u00a0omalizumab), interleukin\u00a0(IL)-5 or IL-5 receptor \u03b1 (mepolizumab, reslizumab, depemokimab, benralizumab), IL-4 receptor \u03b1 (dupilumab), and the epithelial alarmin thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP;\u00a0tezepelumab). These therapies have demonstrated substantial reductions in exacerbation rates and oral corticosteroid use, along with improvements in lung function and patient-reported outcomes. Safety profiles are generally favorable across populations. Key predictors of response include blood eosinophil counts, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and phenotype-specific biomarkers. Despite these advances, unmet needs remain. Current biologics only partially address type 2-low, neutrophilic, and mixed granulocytic phenotypes, as well as airway remodeling and persistent exacerbations in type 2-high patients. Emerging strategies aim to overcome these limitations by targeting upstream alarmins (TSLP and IL-33), dual or trispecific cytokine pathways, and IgE-producing B cells. Novel Fc-engineered and dual-receptor anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies enhance the magnitude and durability of IgE suppression. Multi-target constructs, including bispecific and trispecific agents, simultaneously block overlapping type 2 and non-type 2 pathways, which could improve outcomes in heterogeneous and refractory populations. Preclinical and early-phase clinical studies suggest that these approaches may provide disease-modifying effects and support biomarker-guided personalized therapy. This review summarizes the current landscape of approved biologics and the rationale for next-generation therapies in severe asthma. It highlights mechanistic insights, clinical efficacy, and future directions for precision-targeted treatment strategies.\n\nID: 41898409\nTitle: The Architecture of Deep Phenotyping in Asthma: Integrating Molecular, Metabolic, and Neuro-Hormonal Endotypes.\nAbstract: Asthma is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome where traditional management fails, particularly given spirometry's limitations in assessing small airway dysfunction. This review synthesizes the transition from clinical phenotyping to deep molecular endotyping, establishing a framework for precision medicine. We highlight the insufficiency of absolute eosinophil counts, proposing eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) as superior activation metrics. Furthermore, we explore Type 2 drivers (IL-4/IL-13, periostin) and epithelial alarmins like TSLP. Beyond classical immunology, the text describes metabolic dysregulation, specifically asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in obese-asthma phenotypes where nitric oxide synthase uncoupling promotes oxidative stress. We also analyze YKL-40 and surfactant protein D (SP-D) as markers of remodeling and barrier permeability, alongside microRNAs-specifically miR-21-in corticosteroid resistance. We conclude that managing refractory asthma requires shifting from reactive symptom control to an integrated analysis of multi-omic biomarkers. Establishing this comprehensive molecular profile via specialized centers is fundamental for addressing current diagnostic limitations, selecting biological therapies, and modifying the disease trajectory through an endotype-driven strategy addressing inflammatory, metabolic, and structural pathologies.\n\nID: 41885394\nTitle: Reframing paucigranulocytic asthma through genetic endotyping: a hypothesis-generating focus on the 17q21 rs7216389 locus.\nAbstract: Non-T2 asthma is currently defined by missing parameters, such as low blood eosinophils and FeNO, rather than positively identifiable mechanistic features. This definition overlaps with paucigranulocytic asthma (PGA). However, T2-biomarkers fluctuate over time, especially during glucocorticoid therapy, leading to potential over-diagnosis of T2-low asthma. Advancing beyond traditional endotyping is required for precision medicine. Alarmin-driven asthma [interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25] can drive inflammation even without high T2-markers, but these are difficult to measure clinically. Genetic testing, such as the rs7216389 SNP (17q21 locus, GSDMB/ORMDL3), offers a stable alternative. The T allele is linked to childhood-onset asthma, viral-induced alarmin release, and epithelial dysfunction. Notably, carriers of the T allele are more likely to respond to allergen immunotherapy (AIT). This genetic marker is not subjected to treatment-dependent modification and segregates with both T2-driven and alarmin-driven asthma. We propose that rs7216389 genotyping could be explored, within a treatable trait framework, to improve the mechanistic characterization of paucigranulocytic or low-biomarker asthma. While current data are associative, this one-time genetic assessment might contribute to research-driven stratification of \"hidden\" T2- or alarmin-leaning endotypes, potentially guiding the use of AIT and upstream biologics like anti-TSLP.\n\nID: 41828770\nTitle: Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A \"Module-First\" Review of Murine Models and Chemical Interventions.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) comprises multiple molecular endotypes that only partly align with the clinical phenotype, which complicates target selection and interpretation of treatment effects. Human omics and biomarker studies define candidate pathways, but causal attribution of specific nodes to lesion formation and remodeling requires perturbable in vivo systems. Here, we present a \"module-first\" framework that links murine induction paradigms to epithelial-immune-stromal circuits and to a minimal, module-matched endpoint set for reproducible causal inference. We summarize commonly used CRSwNP-like protocols (allergen/protease \u00b1 SEB, aeroallergen + SEB, innate trigger-enriched paradigms, and modifier layers), emphasize operational pathology terminology (\"polyp-like lesion\" versus \"true polyp\"), and propose a uniform causal template for validated pathway modules (alarmins/IL-33-NF-\u03baB, type 2/ILC2-eosinophil, IL-17A/neutrophil, Wnt/EMT remodeling, and JAK/STAT kinase convergence). Finally, we organize chemical and molecular interventions by leverage point and propose an ARRIVE-aligned Minimum Reporting Set to standardize model anchoring, target engagement, and cross-study comparability. This module-first roadmap is intended to accelerate mechanism-linked discovery and preclinical validation of tractable drug targets in CRSwNP. Importantly, this module-first roadmap is intended as a heuristic organizing principle rather than an exhaustive taxonomy, because pathway modules can overlap and shift dynamically across time and tissue compartments in vivo.\n\nID: 41817776\nTitle: Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Mechanisms of Disease and Approach to Treatment.\nAbstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the underlying mechanisms of disease pathogenesis in eosinophilic esophagitis with the aim of identifying how current and emerging therapies target specific pathologic pathways. RECENT FINDINGS: Over the past three decades, the incidence and prevalence of EoE have risen significantly and it is now a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in both children and adults. Recent studies highlight how genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and abnormal type 2 immune responses interact to contribute to EoE pathogenesis. Key mechanisms include the release of epithelial alarmins, elevated type 2 cytokine signaling, and the recruitment of immune effector cells, all of which lead to chronic inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrostenosis. Current treatments include dietary management, proton pump inhibitors, swallowed corticosteroids, and dupilumab, the first approved biologic. New biologics and agents targeting the epithelial barrier, IL-13, TSLP, and related pathways offer hope for more personalized, mechanism-based therapies. Current therapies for EoE aim to reduce inflammation and prevent fibrostenotic complications, but challenges such as treatment nonresponse and long-term disease progression still exist. Mechanism-based therapies, particularly biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways and barrier dysfunction, represent a promising frontier for more personalized treatment strategies. Understanding the interplay of immune signaling and epithelial dysfunction can inform the development of next-generation therapies with the potential to transform outcomes in EoE.\n\nID: 41813615\nTitle: A Link Between Allergy and Hematological Malignancies? Focus on Possible Mechanisms and the Potential Role of Biological Therapies.\nAbstract: Immune dysregulation has been widely recognized in the international literature as an underlying condition for hematological malignancies and allergic disorders. This commonality has led researchers to study the potential association, positive or negative, between blood cancers and allergy, but the results remain unclear. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying allergic inflammation appear to have dual effects on immune surveillance, potentially positively or negatively influencing carcinogenesis in solid tumors. The same mechanisms may also play a role in the genesis of hematological malignancies, but there is little evidence in the literature to support this. In our review, we explored the possible link between the immune pathways involved in allergic responses and the mechanisms underlying hematological malignancies, focusing on Th2 responses, the activity of inflammatory cells, cytokines, and the emerging role of alarmins. Furthermore, our review aims to assess the association between biologics and the risk of neoplastic disease, with a focus on hematological malignancies. A deeper understanding of shared immune dysregulation pathways and the interactions between various cell types could lead to new preventive or therapeutic approaches for patients with hematological malignancies. Understanding the complex roles of various cellular and molecular mediators of Th2 inflammation in stimulating or inhibiting tumor growth could be a key goal of future research, paving the way for innovative targeted therapies, especially at a time when immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapies are increasingly important and effective.\n\nID: 41780570\nTitle: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells program pulmonary adaptive immunity via granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and CD4+ TH2 cells are the cores of type 2 immunity in the lungs and play central roles in the pathology of asthma. ILC2s rapidly produce innate type 2 cytokines in response to environmental allergens, whereas TH2 cells provide adaptive antigen-specific immune memory. However, little is known regarding the interaction between the innate and adaptive arms of type 2 immunity. We investigated the roles of ILC2s in establishing adaptive antigen-specific immunity in a mouse model of human asthma. ILC2-deficient mice were intranasally sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) using Alternaria extract as an adjuvant. Innate and adaptive responses were assessed by flow cytometry and by intranasal OVA recall challenge. The underlying mechanisms were investigated using gene-deficient mice, in vivo antibody neutralization, adoptive transfer of ILC2s, and in vitro culture systems. Exposure of naive mice to the fungal allergen Alternaria increased the number of lung dendritic cells (DCs), activated migratory DCs, and promoted DC production of the TH2-recruiting chemokines CCL17 and CCL22; these responses were significantly suppressed in ILC2-deficient mice. Consequently, ILC2-deficient mice failed to develop TH2-type tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells in the lungs and antigen-induced type 2 airway inflammation, which were restored by adoptive transfer of lung ILC2s. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor produced by ILC2s was indispensable in promoting these DC responses and development of lung tissue-resident memory T cells. ILC2s license lung DCs via granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to prime and recruit TH2 cells, establishing antigen-specific T-cell immune memory in the lungs.\n\nID: 41763365\nTitle: IL-33 enhances responsiveness and mast cell mediator release in isolated human small airways.\nAbstract: Concomitant exposure to IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25 augments antigen-induced contractions of isolated human small bronchi through enhanced mast cell reactivity. We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol. In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus. IL-33, but not TSLP or IL-25, enhances bronchoconstriction in human small bronchi by amplifying mast cell activation and mediator release in response to both antigen and hyperosmolar challenge.\n\nID: 41752128\nTitle: Mucosal Remodeling in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells and Reprogramming Under IL-4R\u03b1 Blockade.\nAbstract: The nasal mucosa functions as a highly specialized barrier that integrates epithelial, stromal, neuronal, and immune signals to maintain homeostasis and mount rapid responses to environmental challenges. Among its resident immune populations, innate lymphoid cells-particularly type 2 ILCs (ILC2s)-play a pivotal role in orchestrating type 2 inflammation driven by epithelial-derived alarmins such as IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP. Upon activation, ILC2s release IL-5 and IL-13, promoting eosinophilic inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia, mucus hypersecretion, and tissue remodeling, all central features of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and severe allergic rhinitis. Recent advances have revealed substantial ILC plasticity, the presence of nasal-resident ILC progenitors, and the influence of metabolic and neuroimmune cues in shaping ILC activation and persistence. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4R\u03b1, has emerged as a highly effective therapy, providing unique mechanistic insight into the epithelial-ILC axis. By blocking IL-4/IL-13 signaling, dupilumab dampens ILC2 effector functions, reduces IL-5/IL-13 output, restores epithelial barrier integrity, interrupts alarmin-driven amplification loops, and rebalances innate and adaptive immune networks. Clinical and translational studies indicate that baseline ILC2 phenotypes-particularly inflammatory ILC2 subsets-may predict treatment responsiveness, positioning ILC profiling as a promising biomarker strategy. This review synthesizes current knowledge of ILC classification, plasticity, progenitor biology, and epithelial-ILC communication in the nasal mucosa, while integrating emerging evidence on dupilumab-mediated immunomodulation. Collectively, these insights highlight ILCs as central drivers of type 2 inflammation and key targets for precision immunomodulation, offering a framework for personalized treatment approaches in CRSwNP and allergic rhinitis.\n\nID: 42421742\nTitle: Mitochondrial transcription factor A: linking mtDNA maintenance, mitochondrial stress responses, and inflammaging.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that directly binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and contributes to mitochondrial genome maintenance. Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression.\n\nID: 42302976\nTitle: Beyond proteostasis: LONP1 as an immunometabolic checkpoint in health and disease.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation. Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation.\n\nID: 42182319\nTitle: Influenza-induced tuft cell expansion alters ILC-mediated inflammation.\nAbstract: Tuft cells act as sentinels that amplify type 2 inflammation primarily by activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 restrains tuft cell differentiation, whereas ILC2s drive tuft cell expansion, establishing a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited reduced eosinophilic inflammation and expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation, type 2 suppression and oxidative stress. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data identify a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that helps maintain a balanced inflammatory environment in response to viral injury and aeroallergens.\n\nID: 41577142\nTitle: Platelet-macrophage cooperation drives IL-33-dependent type 2 lung immunopathology in a sex-biased manner.\nAbstract: Platelets amplify lung type 2 inflammation (T2I), but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. We elucidated the platelet-driven T2I mechanisms, particularly the role of platelet-derived leukotriene C4 (LTC4). We assessed lung T2I to Alternaria alternata extract in vivo using mice with targeted deletions of Ltc4s in platelets, macrophages (Macs), or mast cells (MCs); Il33 in Macs, hematopoietic cells, or alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells; and cysteinyl leukotriene receptors. Exogenous administration of LTC4 and IL-33 in na\u00efve mice complemented the genetic models. Sex- and age-matched mice were randomly assigned, and histopathologic evaluations were performed under blinded conditions. Platelets promoted IL-33 expression in perivascular Macs and induced transcellular LTC4 synthesis. Although platelet Ltc4s was not needed to induce IL-33+ Macs, it promoted both IL-33+ AT2 cell and group 2 innate lymphoid cell expansions in a sex-biased manner. Platelet depletion abrogated A alternata-induced increases in IL-33 and AT2 cell expansion. Platelet-adherent Macs expressed higher IL-33 than no-adherent counterparts. Platelet-specific Ltc4s deletion reduced eosinophil, group 2 innate lymphoid cell, and AT2 cell expansion in female animals in a delayed manner. Mac-specific Il33 deletion eliminated platelet-driven IL-33 increases and attenuated AT2 cell expansion selectively in female animals. Exogenous LTC4 and IL-33 synergistically induced IL-33+ Macs and expanded AT2 cells. Adherent platelets rapidly upregulate IL-33-expressing Macs, and platelet-derived LTC4 sustains IL-33-driven expansion of AT2 cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells, driving sex-biased amplification of T2I. This platelet-Mac axis may contribute to sex differences in type 2 inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma.\n\nID: 41275592\nTitle: Endothelial Lon protease 1 facilitates the redox balance to prevent glomerulosclerosis by acting on superoxide dismutase 2 ubiquitination.\nAbstract: Endothelial injury is an early event in chronic kidney disease (CKD) leading to renal hemodynamic disorders and even glomerulosclerosis. During this process, both oxidative stress and inflammation originating from injured endothelial cells can initiate pathogenic cell-to-cell interactions via a paracrine mechanism. Accumulating evidence underscores the pivotal role of mitochondrial dysfunction as a crucial mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction. Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is a mitochondrial protease that plays a key role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis; however, its role in endothelial dysfunction-related renal disease is unknown. In CKD patients and mice subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx), we observed decreased LONP1 expression in glomerular endothelial cells. Interestingly, endothelial cell-specific heterozygous knockout of LONP1 exacerbated glomerulosclerosis and aggravated renal function decline, proteinuria, hypertension and kidney inflammation in 5/6Nx mice. Mechanistically, our results suggest that the loss of LONP1 strikingly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by promoting the ubiquitination of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2); which in turn led to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation within endothelial cells. Additionally, the increase in mitochondrial ROS and subsequent production of inflammatory cytokines from damaged endothelial cells further trigger mesangial cell proliferation and podocyte injury, which together result in glomerulosclerosis and CKD progression. Taken together, our findings identify LONP1 as a therapeutic target for balancing glomerular redox, alleviating inflammation, and retarding glomerulosclerosis.\n\nID: 40841361\nTitle: Piezo1-mediated mechanotransduction regulates the translational activity, function and lung pathogenicity of group 2 innate lymphoid cells.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central effectors of type 2 immune responses in the lung; however, how mechanical cues regulate their function remains unclear. Here, we identified the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 as a key regulator of ILC2 effector function through translational control. Piezo1 is highly expressed in murine and human ILC2s, and its activation by mechanical stress or the Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1 induces calcium influx, triggering mTOR signaling and selectively enhancing IL-13 protein production. Conditional deletion of Piezo1 in ILC2s reduced mTOR activation and puromycin incorporation, leading to impaired protein synthesis and attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in the IL-33, Alternaria alternata, and bleomycin models. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq confirmed that Piezo1-deficient ILC2s retained Il13 transcription and chromatin accessibility but presented translational suppression, as evidenced by protein\u2012mRNA interactions. Pharmacologic mTOR inhibition phenocopied Piezo1 loss, supporting the functional relevance of the Piezo1-mTOR axis. These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation. Targeting Piezo1 signaling or its downstream effectors may provide therapeutic benefits in type 2 inflammation-associated lung diseases.\n\nID: 40777291\nTitle: Activation of IL-17+ ILC subsets in IL-18R-deficient mice during fungal allergen exposure.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are critical players during type 2 inflammation present in most forms of asthma. ILC2s are tissue-resident cells that produce cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 critical to eosinophilic airway inflammation, mucus production, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Though each ILC subset (ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s) is identified by specific transcription factors, cell surface receptors and cytokine profiles, functional plasticity between ILC subtypes occurs in various contexts. IL-18/IL-18R loci SNPs are linked to asthma in multiple genome-wide association studies and IL-18 has been shown to promote plasticity in ILC2s. Despite this, little is known about the in vivo role of IL-18/IL-18R on ILC2 responses in the lung. Within hours after mice were exposed to the fungal allergy Alternaria alternata, airway levels of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor expression increased on ST2+ ILCs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of lung cells from Alternaria-challenged mice showed that Il18 was largely expressed by alveolar macrophages, while IL-18R was highly expressed in IL-13+ILC2s. Utilizing IL-18 receptor knock-out mice (IL-18R-/-), we observed increases in IL-17A production from both ST2+ and ST2-negative ILCs compared to control mice. We further observed an early increase in dual production of IL-5 and IL-17A in ST2+ ILCs followed by enhanced lung eosinophilia in the absence of IL-18R. Together, our findings suggest that IL-18 signaling prevents IL-17A production from ILC2s and subsequent eosinophilia in vivo. A further understanding of the regulation of ILC plasticity may lead to novel therapeutic targets in the treatment of ILC-driven asthma.\n\nID: 40546642\nTitle: Low Secretory Leukocyte Protease Inhibitor (SLPI)-Level Potentiates Alternaria Extract-Induced T-Helper 2 (Th2) Airway Inflammation via the Interleukin-33 (IL-33) Pathway.\nAbstract: Introduction Serine proteases play a critical role in the augmented release and cleavage of IL-33, leading to the expansion of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and T-helper 2 (Th2) airway inflammation. However, the protective regulation of protease-dependent interleukin-33 (IL-33) activation remains poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a serine protease inhibitor, in this protective regulation and aimed to clarify its contribution to type 2 immunity. Methods We evaluated the role of SLPI in the\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced expansion of ILC2s and Th2-type airway inflammation via IL-33, using three models: SLPI-deficient mice, an in vivo SLPI knockdown model with shRNA, and an in vitro model utilizing primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract under various conditions, including plasmid transfection. Results We showed that two mouse models of downregulation of\u00a0SLPI\u00a0gene expression augmented\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced release of IL-33 and the expansion of ILC2s, together with Th2 airway inflammation. Furthermore, two treatment models using\u00a0SLPI\u00a0KO mice, administration of a serine protease inhibitor, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, or anti-IL-33 antibody, attenuated Th2\u00a0airway inflammation. In two in vitro experiments, SLPI, as a serine protease inhibitor, prevented both the release of IL-33 from HBECs and the cleavage of full-length IL-33 to shorter mature forms by neutrophil elastase. Discussion These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses. Low\u00a0SLPI levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting Th2 inflammation, highlighting SLPI as a potential therapeutic target in patients with low SLPI expression.\n\nID: 40526428\nTitle: Allergens abrogate antiinflammatory DNA effects and unmask macrophage-driven neutrophilic asthma via ILC2/STING/TNF-\u03b1 signaling.\nAbstract: The mechanisms of neutrophilic and mixed neutrophilic-eosinophilic asthma are poorly understood. We found that extracellular DNA and nucleosomes (Nucs) were elevated in the airways of patients with neutrophilic-eosinophilic asthma and correlated with bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils. Bronchial tissue from neutrophilic-eosinophilic asthma had more DNA sensor-positive cells. Intranasally administered DNA did not induce airway hyperreactivity (AHR) or any pathology but induced AHR and neutrophilic-eosinophilic inflammation when coadministered with the allergen Alternaria (Alt). Nuc alone induced antiinflammatory/defensive genes, whereas the Nuc-Alt combination increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and innate cytokines. The Alt-Nuc phenotype was abolished in Cgas-/-, ALR-/-, Sting-/-, LysMCre:Stingfl/fl, IL7RCre:Ror\u03b1fl/fl, and Tnfr2-/- mice. Alt, unexpectedly, played an essential role in the Nuc-induced phenotype. It abrogated Nuc induction of antiinflammatory genes, facilitated Nuc uptake, induced type 2 innate lymphoid cells, which, in the presence of Nuc, produced high levels of TNF-\u03b1, and promoted neutrophilic infiltration. We established a paradigm whereby allergens inhibit the antiinflammatory effects of DNA/Nuc and facilitate STING-TNF-\u03b1-driven neutrophilic-eosinophilic inflammation in asthma.\n\nID: 40334085\nTitle: PGI2 restricts trained ILC2 responses in allergic inflammation.\nAbstract: Pulmonary type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) exhibit immune memory, termed \"trained immunity,\" which enhances their activation following exposure to an independent protease-containing allergen. The role of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), a cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway metabolite, in modulating these trained ILC2 responses remains unclear. PGI2 acts through its G protein-coupled receptor IP. We hypothesized that IP signaling inhibits ILC2 training. To test this hypothesis, we used a mouse ILC2 training model in which we challenged wild-type (WT) and IP knockout (KO) mice with Alternaria alternata extract (Alt) to induce ILC2 activation and training. After a 33-d resting period, ILC2 responses subsided to a homeostatic level. Mice were then intranasally challenged with papain to evaluate responses to an unrelated allergen. IP KO mice displayed significantly heightened ILC2 interleukin (IL)-13 expression and with concomitant increased eosinophilia in the lungs post-papain challenge compared with WT control mice. Notably, neither WT nor IP KO mice challenged with papain only, devoid of ILC2 training, exhibited lung type 2 responses. The augmented type 2 inflammation observed in IP KO mice following both Alt and papain challenges correlated with increased numbers and percentages of IL-13-producing ILC2s and greater mean fluorescence intensity of IL-13 compared with WT mice. Furthermore, RNA sequencing of sorted ILC2s from WT and IP KO mice following Alt-papain challenges revealed heightened activation of immune response pathways and mitochondrial respiratory pathways in IP-deficient ILC2s. These findings reveal an inhibitory role of PGI2 signaling in trained ILC2 responses, emphasizing its pivotal contribution to innate immune responses and allergic inflammation.\n\nID: 40187068\nTitle: Novel genetic associations with childhood adipocytokines in Indian adolescents.\nAbstract: Adipocytokines, including leptin, adiponectin, and resistin, are key mediators linking adiposity, insulin resistance, and inflammation. We present the first genome-wide association study (GWAS; N\u00a0=\u00a05258) and exome-wide association study (ExWAS; N\u00a0=\u00a04578) on leptin, adiponectin, and resistin in South Asian population. We identified novel associations in genes ZNF467, and LEPREL2 for leptin; ZNF467, LEPREL2, CRLF3, ZNF732, SOX30, XIRP1, ATP8B3, SPATA2L, TMCO4, TLN2, ABCA12, and SHB for adiponectin; and D2HGDH for resistin. Additionally, we confirmed known associations of FTO, MC4R, and HOXB3 with leptin and ADIPOQ with adiponectin. Notably, ADIPOQ variants were consistently significant across GWAS, ExWAS, and gene-based analyses, reinforcing their central role in regulating adiponectin levels. Most of these novel associations identified were population-specific, highlighting the importance of studying diverse populations to uncover unique genetic signals. After adjusting for BMI, the associations with adiponectin and resistin remained significant, whereas most associations for leptin weakened in both effect size and significance. Functional annotation revealed that the identified variants were enriched for expression in adipose tissue, the brain (cerebellar hemisphere and cerebral cortex), and the pituitary gland. These variants act as eQTLs and splice-QTLs in adipose, brain, and pancreas, suggesting cross-tissue regulatory mechanisms. ExWAS further implicated rare variant burden in genes such as LONP1, ZNF335, and TTC16 for adiponectin and resistin. These findings enhance our understanding of adipocytokine biology, emphasises the need for population-specific genetic research, and lays foundation for future functional studies.\n\nID: 40044488\nTitle: Dual regulation of Atf3 and Lonp1 as therapeutic targets in cerebral ischaemia-reperfusion injury.\nAbstract: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) leads to cognitive dysfunction, neuronal death, and inflammation. Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying CIRI is crucial for developing effective therapeutic strategies. This study aims to investigate the roles of activating transcription factor 3 (Atf3) and lon protease homolog 1 (Lonp1) in CIRI, particularly focusing on how Atf3 regulates Lonp1 expression and its effects on mitochondrial function. Single-cell transcriptomics and proteomic analyses were employed to explore Atf3's influence on Lonp1 and its subsequent impact on neuronal survival and apoptosis. The findings indicate that Atf3 plays a crucial role in modulating Lonp1 expression, which in turn affects mitochondrial function, neuronal survival, and apoptotic pathways. This study provides new insights into the regulatory mechanisms of Atf3 and Lonp1 in CIRI, identifying potential therapeutic targets for managing ischemic brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases.\n\nID: 39774991\nTitle: E3 ligase RNF128 restricts A. alternata-induced ILC2 activation and type 2 immune response in the murine lung.\nAbstract: Allergic airway inflammation is a universal airway disease induced by inhaling allergens. Published data show that RNF128, an E3 ligase, promotes Th2 activation in the OVA-induced asthma model. Recent advances have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) produce the cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 to mediate type 2 immune response. However, whether RNF128 regulates ILC2-dependent allergic lung inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we observed greater expression of the E3 ligase RNF128 in ILC2s than in other immune cells. RNF128 deficiency caused a selective increase in the number of peripheral mature ILC2s, and mice with RNF128 deficiency were more susceptible to Alternaria alternata (A. alternata) -induced allergic lung inflammation. Furthermore, RNF128 deficiency increased recruitment of eosinophils and levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. RNF128 effectively inhibited the expansion of ILC2s and the number of IL-5- and IL-13-producing ILC2s. Specially, RNF128 deficiency promoted the expression of the interleukin-33 (IL-33) receptor ST2 in A. alternata-induced allergic lung inflammation. Above all, our study demonstrated that RNF128 played a key role in A. alternata-induced ILC2 activation and type 2 immune response, suggesting that RNF128 may be an effective therapeutic target for allergic lung inflammation initiated by ILC2s.\n\nID: 39559998\nTitle: Endogenous Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor and Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Receptor Signaling Inhibits Aeroallergen-Induced Innate Airway Inflammation.\nAbstract: Anti-inflammatory effects of incretin signaling through the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in mice have been reported. Therefore, we hypothesized that signaling through the endogenous GLP-1R and the GIPR individually decreases allergic airway inflammation and that the combination of GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together additively inhibits allergen-induced lung and airway inflammation. WT (C57BL/6J), GLP-1R knockout (KO), GIPR KO, and GLP-1R/GIPR double KO (DKO) mice were challenged intranasally with Alternaria alternata extract (Alt-Ext) or vehicle to evaluate the impact of signaling through these receptors on the innate allergen-induced inflammatory response that is primarily driven by group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2). Alt-Ext-induced IL-33 release in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was not different between the mouse strains, but thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other strains. Furthermore, Alt-Ext-induced protein expression of IL-5, IL-13, CCL11, and CCL24 in the lung homogenates, the number of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils in the BALF, and the number of lung GATA3+ ILC2 were significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice compared to the other 3 strains. Furthermore, ICAM-1 expression on lung epithelial cells was increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other 3 strains. Deficiency of both GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together increased TSLP release, ILC2 activation, and early type 2 innate immune responses to aeroallergen exposure. Combined GLP-1R and GIPR signaling should be explored for the treatment of asthma.\n\nID: 39287985\nTitle: PAC1 constrains type 2 inflammation through promotion of CGRP signaling in ILC2s.\nAbstract: Dysfunction of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) plays an important role in the development of type 2 inflammation-related diseases such as asthma and pulmonary fibrosis. Notably, neural signals are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators of ILC2s. However, how ILC2s intrinsically modulate their responsiveness to these neural signals is still largely unknown. Here, using single-cell RNA-Seq, we found that the immune-regulatory molecule phosphatase of activated cells 1 (PAC1) selectively promoted the signaling of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in ILC2s in a cell-intrinsic manner. Genetic ablation of PAC1 in ILC2s substantially impaired the inhibitory effect of CGRP on proliferation and IL-13 secretion. PAC1 deficiency significantly exacerbated allergic airway inflammation induced by Alternaria alternata or papain in mice. Moreover, in human circulating ILC2s, the expression level of PAC1 was also significantly negatively correlated with the number of ILC2s and their expression level of IL13. Mechanistically, PAC1 was necessary for ensuring the expression of CGRP response genes by influencing chromatin accessibility. In summary, our study demonstrated that PAC1 is an important regulator of ILC2 responses, and we propose that PAC1 is a potential target for therapeutic interventions in type 2 inflammation-related diseases.\n\nID: 39215111\nTitle: PIP-seq identifies novel heterogeneous lung innate lymphocyte population activation after combustion product exposure.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous population that play diverse roles in airway inflammation after exposure to allergens and infections. However, how ILCs respond after exposure to environmental toxins is not well understood. Here we show a novel method for studying the heterogeneity of rare lung ILC populations by magnetic enrichment for lung ILCs followed by particle-templated instant partition sequencing (PIP-seq). Using this method, we were able to identify novel group 1 and group 2 ILC subsets that exist after exposure to both fungal allergen and burn pit-related constituents (BPC) that include dioxin, aromatic hydrocarbon, and particulate matter. Toxin exposure in combination with fungal allergen induced activation of specific ILC1/NK and ILC2 populations as well as promoted neutrophilic lung inflammation. Oxidative stress pathways and downregulation of specific ribosomal protein genes (Rpl41 and Rps19) implicated in anti-inflammatory responses were present after BPC exposure. Increased IFN\u03b3 expression and other pro-neutrophilic mediator transcripts were increased in BPC-stimulated lung innate lymphoid cells. Further, the addition of BPC induced Hspa8 (encodes HSC70) and aryl hydrocarbon transcription factor activity across multiple lung ILC subsets. Overall, using an airway disease model that develops after occupational and environmental exposures, we demonstrate an effective method to better understand heterogenous ILC subset activation.\n\nID: 39108003\nTitle: Dietary human milk oligosaccharides reduce allergic airway inflammation by modulating SCFAs level and ILC2 activity.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play a crucial role in the progression of asthma, yet the regulatory mechanisms modulating ILC2 responses in asthma remain underexplored. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), vital non-nutritive components of breast milk, are known to significantly shape immune system development and influence the incidence of allergic diseases. However, their impact on ILC2-driven asthma is not fully understood. Our research reveals that dietary HMOs act as potent inhibitors of ILC2 responses and allergic airway inflammation. Treatment with 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) significantly reduced ILC2-related airway inflammation induced by papain or Alternaria alternata in mice, evidenced by decreased eosinophil (EOS) infiltration and lower IL-5 and IL-13 levels in BALF. Notably, while ILC2 expresses HMO receptors, HMO did not act directly on ILC2 but potentially modulated their activity through alterations in gut microbiota derived SCFAs. HMO treatments alleviated airway inflammation in SCFA-dependent manners, with SCFA depletion or receptor blocking reversing these beneficial effects. This study reveals the potential of dietary HMOs in managing asthma through modulation of ILC2 activity and the gut-lung axis, proposing a new therapeutic avenue that utilises the immunomodulatory capacities of nutritional components to combat respiratory diseases.\n\nID: 38979234\nTitle: PIP-Seq identifies novel heterogeneous lung innate lymphocyte population activation after combustion product exposure.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a heterogeneous population that play diverse roles in airway inflammation after exposure to allergens and infections.

CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. We aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). We administered IL-33 intranasally to wild-type mice, followed by treatment with anti-CD226 antibody or isotype control. Pulmonary ILC2s were sorted for ex vivo analyses through RNA sequencing and flow cytometry. Next, we evaluated the effects of CD226 on AHR and lung inflammation in wild-type and Rag2-/- mice. Additionally, we compared peripheral ILC2s from healthy donors and asthmatic patients to ascertain the role of CD226 in human ILC2s. Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Mechanistically, CD226 alters intracellular metabolism and enhances PI3K/AKT and MAPK signal pathways. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls. Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.\n\nID: 38117887\nTitle: JAK3 inhibitor suppresses multipotent ILC2s and attenuates steroid-resistant asthma.\nAbstract: Steroids are the standard treatment for allergic airway inflammation in asthma, but steroid-refractory asthma poses a challenge. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), such as T helper 2 (TH2) cells, produce key asthma-related type 2 cytokines. Recent insights from mouse and human studies indicate a potential connection between ILC2s and steroid-resistant asthma. Here, we highlight that lung ILC2s, rather than TH2 cells, can develop steroid resistance, allowing them to persist and maintain their disease-driving activity even during steroid treatment. The emergence of multipotent IL-5+IL-13+IL-17A+ ILC2s is associated with steroid-resistant ILC2s. The Janus kinase 3 (JAK3)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, 5, and 6 pathways contribute to the acquisition of steroid-resistant ILC2s. The JAK3 inhibitor reduces ILC2 survival, proliferation, and cytokine production in vitro and ameliorates ILC2-driven Alternaria-induced asthma. Furthermore, combining a JAK3 inhibitor with steroids results in the inhibition of steroid-resistant asthma. These findings suggest a potential therapeutic approach for addressing this challenging condition in chronic asthma.\n\nID: 37695914\nTitle: TNF\u03b1 increases the degradation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 by the Lon protease to support proinflammatory genes.\nAbstract: The endothelium is a major target of the proinflammatory cytokine, tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF\u03b1). Exposure of endothelial cells (EC) to proinflammatory stimuli leads to an increase in mitochondrial metabolism; however, the function and regulation of elevated mitochondrial metabolism in EC in response to proinflammatory cytokines remain unclear. Studies using high-resolution metabolomics and 13C-glucose and 13C-glutamine labeling flux techniques showed that pyruvate dehydrogenase activity (PDH) and oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) flux are elevated in human umbilical vein ECs in response to overnight (16 h) treatment with TNF\u03b1 (10 ng/mL). Mechanistic studies indicated that TNF\u03b1 mediated these metabolic changes via mitochondrial-specific protein degradation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4, inhibitor of PDH) by the Lon protease via an NF-\u03baB-dependent mechanism. Using RNA sequencing following siRNA-mediated knockdown of the catalytically active subunit of PDH, PDHE1\u03b1 (PDHA1 gene), we show that PDH flux controls the transcription of approximately one-third of the genes that are up-regulated by TNF\u03b1 stimulation. Notably, TNF\u03b1-induced PDH flux regulates a unique signature of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines and chemokines) but not inducible adhesion molecules. Metabolomics and ChIP sequencing for acetylated modification on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27ac) showed that TNF\u03b1-induced PDH flux promotes histone acetylation of specific gene loci via citrate accumulation and ATP-citrate lyase-mediated generation of acetyl CoA. Together, these results uncover a mechanism by which TNF\u03b1 signaling increases oxidative TCA flux of glucose to support TNF\u03b1-induced gene transcription through extramitochondrial acetyl CoA generation and histone acetylation.\n\nID: 37497449\nTitle: Monitoring Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Biology in Models of Lung Inflammation.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a rare cell population subdivided into ILC1s, ILC2s, and ILC3s, based on transcription factor expression and cytokine production. In models of lung inflammation, the release of alarmins from the epithelium activates ILC2s and promotes the production of Th2-cytokines and the proliferation and migration of ILC2s within the lung. ILC2s are the innate counterpart to CD4+ Th2s and, as such, express Gata-3 and produce IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. Due to the low number of ILCs and the lack of specific surface markers, flow cytometry is the most reliable technique for the identification and characterization of ILCs. In this protocol, multicolor flow cytometry is utilized to identify Lineage- Thy1.2+ ILCs. Intracellular cytokine staining further identifies ILC2s within the lung. This protocol presents a reliable method for promoting ILC2-mediated lung inflammation and for monitoring ILC2 biology. Key features In this protocol, ILC2s are expanded via intranasal challenges withAlternaria alternata, a fungal allergen, or recombinant IL-33. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung are collected and processed into single-cell suspension for multicolor flow cytometric analysis, including intracellular staining of transcription factors and cytokines. During lung inflammation, the percentage of ILC2s and eosinophils increases. ILC2s express greater levels ofGata-3andKi-67and produce greater amounts of IL-5 and IL-13. Graphical overview.\n\nID: 37307890\nTitle: Tetramethylpyrazine alleviates mitochondrial abnormality in models of cerebral ischemia and oxygen/glucose deprivation Reoxygenation.\nAbstract: Traditional herbal medicine Ligusticum wallichii Franchat (Chuan Xiong) is frequently prescribed and highly recommended to patients with stroke. Rodent studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of its active component tetramethylpyrazine against post-stroke brain injury and highlighted its role in antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis activity. Using permanent cerebral ischemia in rats and oxygen/glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGDR) in rat primary neuron/glia cultures, this study sheds light on the role of mitochondria as crucial targets for tetramethylpyrazine neuroprotection. Tetramethylpyrazine protected against injury and alleviated oxidative stress, interleukin-1\u03b2 release, and caspase 3 activation both in vivo and in vitro. Reduction of mitochondrial biogenesis- and integrity-related proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha, mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20, mitochondrial DNA, and citrate synthase activity, as well as activation of mitochondrial dynamics disruption-related Lon protease, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) phosphorylation, stimulator of interferon genes, TANK-binding kinase 1 phosphorylation, protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase phosphorylation, eukaryotic initiation factor 2\u03b1 phosphorylation, and activating transcription factor 4 were revealed in permanent cerebral ischemia in rats and OGDR in neuron/glia cultures. TMP alleviated those biochemical changes. Our findings suggest that preservation or restoration of mitochondrial dynamics and functional integrity and alleviation of mitochondria-oriented pro-oxidant, pro-inflammatory, and pro-apoptotic cascades are alternative neuroprotective mechanisms of tetramethylpyrazine. Additionally, mitochondrial TFAM and Drp1 as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress could be targeted by TMP to induce neuroprotection. Data of this study provide experimental base to support clinical utility and value of Chuan Xiong towards stroke treatment and highlight an alternative neuroprotective target of tetramethylpyrazine.\n\nID: 36458017\nTitle: Mucosal-associated invariant T cells repress group 2 innate lymphoid cells in Alternaria alternata-induced model of allergic airway inflammation.\nAbstract: Mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, a blossoming member of the innate-like T cells, play a pivotal role in host defense through engaging the mucosal immunity. Although it has been suggested that MAIT cells are somehow implicated in the allergic airway inflammation mediated by group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) such as asthma, the precise role(s) of MAIT cells in such inflammation has remained elusive. To explore the possible roles of MAIT cells in the inflammation, we examined whether MAIT cells suppressed the production of T helper (Th) 2 and inflammatory cytokines from ILC2s, and constrained the proliferation of ILC2s, both of which are prerequisite for airway inflammation. Given that laboratory mice are poor at MAIT cells, a novel mouse line rich in MAIT cells was used. We found that mice rich in MAIT cells showed alleviated airway inflammation as evidenced by reduced infiltration of the immune cells and hyperplasia in goblet cells in the lung concomitant with compromised production of Th2 and inflammatory cytokines, while wild type mice exhibited severe inflammation upon challenge with the fungal extracts. In vitro coculture experiments using purified ILC2s and MAIT cells unrevealed that cytokine-stimulated MAIT cells suppressed ILC2s to produce the cytokines as well as to proliferate most likely via production of IFN-\u03b3. Furthermore, reconstitution of the allergic airway inflammation in the highly immunocompromised mice showed that ILC2-mediated inflammation was alleviated in mice that received MAIT cells along with ILC2s. We concluded that MAIT cells played a crucial role in suppressing the cytokine-producing capacity of ILC2s and ILC2 proliferation, that ultimately led to decrease in the allergic airway inflammation. The results open up a novel therapeutic horizon in ILC2-mediated inflammatory diseases by modulating MAIT cell activity.\n\nID: 36154922\nTitle: Mitochondrial oxidative stress in the tumor microenvironment and cancer immunoescape: foe or friend?\nAbstract: The major concept of \"oxidative stress\" is an excess elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which are generated from vigorous metabolism and consumption of oxygen. The precise harmonization of oxidative stresses between mitochondria and other organelles in the cell is absolutely vital to cell survival. Under oxidative stress, ROS produced from mitochondria and are the major mediator for tumorigenesis in different aspects, such as proliferation, migration/invasion, angiogenesis, inflammation, and immunoescape to allow cancer cells to adapt to the rigorous environment. Accordingly, the dynamic balance of oxidative stresses not only orchestrate complex cell signaling events in cancer cells but also affect other components in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Immune cells, such as M2 macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells are the major components of the immunosuppressive TME from the ROS-induced inflammation. Based on this notion, numerous strategies to mitigate oxidative stresses in tumors have been tested for cancer prevention or therapies; however, these manipulations are devised from different sources and mechanisms without established effectiveness. Herein, we integrate current progress regarding the impact of mitochondrial ROS in the TME, not only in cancer cells but also in immune cells, and discuss the combination of emerging ROS-modulating strategies with immunotherapies to achieve antitumor effects.\n\nID: 35908044\nTitle: RNA-binding protein RBM3 intrinsically suppresses lung innate lymphoid cell activation and inflammation partially through CysLT1R.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILC) promote lung inflammation in asthma through cytokine production. RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical post-transcriptional regulators, although less is known about RBPs in ILC biology. Here, we demonstrate that RNA-binding motif 3 (RBM3) is highly expressed in lung ILCs and is further induced by alarmins TSLP and IL-33. Rbm3-/- and Rbm3-/-Rag2-/- mice exposed to asthma-associated Alternaria allergen develop enhanced eosinophilic lung inflammation and ILC activation. IL-33 stimulation studies\u00a0in\u00a0vivo and in vitro show that RBM3 suppressed lung ILC responses. Further, Rbm3-/- ILCs from bone marrow chimeric mice display increased ILC cytokine production suggesting an ILC-intrinsic suppressive function of RBM3. RNA-sequencing of Rbm3-/- lung ILCs demonstrates increased expression of type 2/17 cytokines and cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptor (CysLT1R). Finally, Rbm3-/-Cyslt1r-/- mice show dependence on CysLT1R for accumulation of ST2+IL-17+ ILCs. Thus, RBM3 intrinsically regulates lung ILCs during allergen-induced type 2 inflammation that\u00a0is partially dependent on CysLT1R.\n\nID: 35771471\nTitle: Detection, Isolation, and Functional Studies of Mouse Pulmonary Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells.\nAbstract: ILC2s are key players in the emergence of type 2 inflammation in many pulmonary diseases. While several phenotypic markers can be used to identify ILC2s, our method utilizes the surface markers CD127 and ST2 to classify a group of type 2 cytokine-producing ILC2s upon activation by the fungal allergen Alternaria alternata . Here, we provide our protocol for the detection and isolation of a highly pure population of pulmonary mouse ILCs via flow cytometry and cell sorting. We also describe the methods for in vitro stimulation to assess the functionality of ILC2s.\n\nID: 34682259\nTitle: Alternaria as an Inducer of Allergic Sensitization.\nAbstract: Alternaria alternata is a saprophytic mold whose spores are disseminated in warm dry air, the typical weather of the Mediterranean climate region (from 30\u00b0 to 45\u00b0), with a peak during the late summer and early autumn. Alternaria spores are known to be biological contaminants and a potent source of aeroallergens. One consequence of human exposure to Alternaria is an increased risk of developing asthma, with Alt a 1 as its main elicitor and a marker of primary sensitization. Although the action mechanism needs further investigation, a key role of the epithelium in cytokine production, TLR-activated alveolar macrophages and innate lymphoid cells in the adaptive response was demonstrated. Furthermore, sensitization to A. alternata seems to be a trigger for the development of co-sensitization to other allergen sources and may act as an exacerbator of symptoms and an elicitor of food allergies. The prevalence of A. alternata allergy is increasing and has led to expanding research on the role of this fungal species in the induction of IgE-mediated respiratory diseases. Indeed, recent research has allowed new perspectives to be considered in the assessment of exposure and diagnosis of fungi-induced allergies, although more studies are needed for the standardization of immunotherapy formulations.\n\nID: 34673048\nTitle: Cannabinoid receptor 2 engagement promotes group 2 innate lymphoid cell expansion and enhances airway hyperreactivity.\nAbstract: Cannabinoids modulate the activation of immune cells and physiologic processes in the lungs. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central players in type 2 asthma, but how cannabinoids modulate ILC2 activation remains to be elucidated. Our goal was to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on ILC2s and their role in asthma. A combination of cannabinoid receptor (CB)2 knockout (KO) mice, CB2 antagonist and agonist were used in the mouse models of IL-33, IL-25, and Alternaria alternata ILC2-dependent airway inflammation. RNA sequencing was performed to assess transcriptomic changes in ILC2s, and humanized mice were used to assess the role of CB2 signaling in human ILC2s. We provide evidence that CB2 signaling in ILC2s is important for the development of ILC2-driven airway inflammation in both mice and human. We showed that both naive and activated murine pulmonary ILC2s express CB2. CB2 signaling did not affect ILC2 homeostasis at steady state, but strikingly it stimulated ILC2 proliferation and function upon activation. As a result, ILC2s lacking CB2 induced lower lung inflammation, as we made similar observations using a CB2 antagonist. Conversely, CB2 agonism remarkably exacerbated ILC2-driven airway hyperreactivity and lung inflammation. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and protein analysis revealed that CB2 signaling induced cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation in ILC2s. Human ILC2s expressed CB2, as CB2 antagonism and agonism showed opposing effects on ILC2 effector function and development of airway hyperreactivity in humanized mice. Collectively, our results define CB2 signaling\u00a0in\u00a0ILC2s as an important modulator of airway inflammation.\n\nID: 34462397\nTitle: Mesenchymal Stem Cells Suppress Severe Asthma by Directly Regulating Th2 Cells and Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells.\nAbstract: Patients with severe asthma have unmet clinical needs for effective and safe therapies. One possibility may be mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy, which can improve asthma in murine models. However, it remains unclear how MSCs exert their beneficial effects in asthma. Here, we examined the effect of human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUC-MSC) on two mouse models of severe asthma, namely, Alternaria alternata-induced and house dust mite (HDM)/diesel exhaust particle (DEP)-induced asthma. hUC-MSC treatment attenuated lung type 2 (Th2 and type 2 innate lymphoid cell) inflammation in both models. However, these effects were only observed with particular treatment routes and timings. In vitro co-culture showed that hUC-MSC directly downregulated the interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13 production of differentiated mouse Th2 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from asthma patients. Thus, these results showed that hUC-MSC treatment can ameliorate asthma by suppressing the asthmogenic cytokine production of effector cells. However, the successful clinical application of MSCs in the future is likely to require careful optimization of the route, dosage, and timing.\n\nID: 34428519\nTitle: TLR3-driven IFN-\u03b2 antagonizes STAT5-activating cytokines and suppresses innate type 2 response in the lung.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are involved in type 2 immune responses in mucosal organs and are associated with various allergic diseases in humans. Studies are needed to understand the molecules and pathways that control ILC2s. The aims of this study were to develop a mouse model that limits the innate type 2 immune response in the lung and to investigate the immunologic mechanisms involved in regulation of lung ILC2s. Naive BALB/c mice were administered various Toll-like receptor agonists and exposed intranasally to the fungal allergen Alternaria alternata. The mechanisms were investigated using gene knockout mice as well as cultures of lung cells and isolated lung ILC2s. Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, or poly (I:C), effectively inhibited innate type 2 response to A alternata. Poly (I:C) promoted production of IFN\u03b1, -\u03b2, and -\u03b3, and its inhibitory effects were dependent on the IFN-\u03b1/\u03b2 receptor pathway. IFN-\u03b2 was 100 times more potent than IFN-\u03b1 at inhibiting type 2 cytokine production by lung ILC2s. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5)-activating cytokines, including IL-2, IL-7, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin, but not IL-33, promoted survival and proliferation of lung ILC2s in\u00a0vitro, while IFN-\u03b2 blocked these effects. Expression of the transcription factor GATA3, which is critical for differentiation and maintenance of ILC2s, was inhibited by IFN-\u03b2. IFN-\u03b2 blocks the effects of STAT5-activating cytokines on lung ILC2s and inhibits their survival and effector functions. Administration of IFN-\u03b2 may provide a new strategy to treat diseases involving ILC2s.\n\nID: 34402091\nTitle: Direct platelet adhesion potentiates group 2 innate lymphoid cell functions.\nAbstract: Platelets are thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of asthma, presumably through direct adhesion to inflammatory cells, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Here, we tried to elucidate the effects of platelet adhesion to ILC2s in vitro and in vivo, as well as the mechanisms involved. Alternaria-induced ILC2-dependent airway inflammation models using wild-type and c-mpl-/- mice were evaluated. Both purified CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were cultured with IL-2 and IL-33 to determine in vitro Type 2 (T2) cytokine production and cell proliferation. RNA-seq data of flow-cytometry-sorted CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were used to isolate ILC2-specific genes. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the expression of CD41 and adhesion-related molecules on ILC2s in both mouse and human tissues. T2 inflammation and T2 cytokine production from ILC2s were significantly reduced in the c-mpl-/- mice compared to wild-type mice. Platelet-adherent ILC2s underwent significant proliferation and showed enhanced T2 cytokine production when exposed to IL-2 and IL-33. The functions of ILC2-specific genes were related to cell development and function. Upstream regulator analysis identified 15\u00a0molecules, that are thought to be involved in ILC2 activation. CD41 expression levels were higher in ILC2s from human PBMCs and mouse lung than in those from secondary lymphoid tissues, but they did not correlate with the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 or CD24 expression level. Platelets spontaneously adhere to ILC2s, probably in the peripheral blood and airways, thereby potentiating ILC2s to enhance their responses to IL-33.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42189350 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 41763365 for the quote: \"In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus.

We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol. In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus. IL-33, but not TSLP or IL-25, enhances bronchoconstriction in human small bronchi by amplifying mast cell activation and mediator release in response to both antigen and hyperosmolar challenge.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 41763365 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42166932 for the quote: \"DEP-exposed Ly6C+ MoMs also promoted the differentiation of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T helper (Th) cells toward ILC3s and Th17 cells, respectively.\"\n FACT: Strict Misquote Detected!

However, precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DEP exposure on airway innate immune cells, focusing on macrophages/monocytes, and their role in asthma exacerbation. Using a murine asthma model, we sensitized and challenged 6-week-old BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). These mice underwent 10 repeated OVA inhalations over three weeks, with and without concurrent DEP inhalation. Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation were assessed. We characterized immune cell populations and their crosstalk,\u00a0focusing on mouse Ly6C+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs) and human CD14+CD16- MoMs. DEP exposure worsened histological scores in the asthmatic lungs and altered the OVA-induced type 2 inflammation profile, leading to increased type 3 inflammation. In terms of lung macrophages, DEP inhalation resulted in the depletion of SiglecF+CD11c+CD11b- resident alveolar macrophages and an increase in SiglecF-CD11b+ MoMs, particularly Ly6C+ MoMs. DEP-exposed Ly6C+ MoMs isolated from the OVA model (DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA) heightened neutrophil chemotaxis and the expression of fibrosis-related genes. DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA also promoted the differentiation of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T helper (Th) cells toward ILC3s and Th17 cells, respectively. Ex vivo DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA transfer also induced significant type 3 inflammation with SiglecF+ neutrophils. In vitro DEP-treated human CD14+CD16- MoMs upregulated neutrophil chemotaxis-related genes and exacerbated non-type 2 inflammation. In conclusion, DEP exposure exacerbates asthma by inducing mixed type 2 and type 3 inflammation in the asthmatic airways through the modulation of Ly6C+ MoMs, which enhance type 3 immunity.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42166932 ---\n\n- ERROR: You cited ID: 42058217 for the quote: \"Beyond their traditional role as a physical barrier against antibiotics, recent evidence positions biofilms as sophisticated immune modulators that actively perpetuate mucosal dysbiosis... thereby fueling a maladaptive Type 2 inflammatory loop.\"\n FACT: Ellipses (...) are strictly forbidden.

Beyond their traditional role as a physical barrier against antibiotics, recent evidence positions biofilms as sophisticated immune modulators that actively perpetuate mucosal dysbiosis. This review synthesizes the pathological continuum of biofilm-associated CRS, elucidating how biofilm derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) trigger the release of epithelial alarmins (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25), thereby fueling a maladaptive Type 2 inflammatory loop. We further examine bacterial survival strategies, such as the formation of small colony variants (SCVs) and intracellular \"Trojan Horse\" reservoirs, which render conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and antimicrobial monotherapies insufficient for complete eradication. Crucially, we discuss the current diagnostic disconnect where standard cultures fail to detect biofilm burdens. Finally, we propose a therapeutic paradigm shift from a purely bactericidal approach to one of ecological restoration. By integrating cutting-edge strategies, including matrix-degrading enzymes, bacteriophage cocktails, and Nasal Microbiota Transplantation (NMT), we construct a multi-dimensional framework aiming to restore sinonasal homeostasis. Together, these emerging strategies support a shift from pathogen suppression alone toward ecological and immunologic rebalancing of the sinonasal mucosa, offering a more durable conceptual framework for overcoming treatment recalcitrance.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42058217 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" (Source: 42421946)\n- \"Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention.\" (Source: 42121933)\n- \"Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation.\" (Source: 42302976)\n- \"Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are key effector cells of type 2 immunity.

This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe claim evaluated is the functional interplay of Lon Protease, Alternaria, IL-33, TSLP, alarmins, asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, and innate lymphoid cells. The provided literature supports a highly integrated model where epithelial injury from fungal allergens (e.g., Alternaria) triggers the release of alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, IL-25), which then drive Type 2 inflammation via group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Lon protease (LONP1) serves as a critical regulatory checkpoint in this inflammatory landscape, influencing mitochondrial health, stress adaptation, and the inflammatory activation of structural and immune cells.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nThis synthesis examines the convergence of epithelial alarmin signaling and mitochondrial metabolic checkpoints (specifically LONP1) in the pathogenesis of allergic airway diseases. The evidence demonstrates that fungal-derived proteolytic stress disrupts epithelial barriers, initiating a cytokine cascade that orchestrates ILC2-mediated Type 2 immunity, while intracellular mitochondrial protein quality control mechanisms, regulated by LONP1, dictate cellular susceptibility to these inflammatory drivers.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nIn the context of allergic airway disease, the airway epithelium functions as a primary sensor of environmental insults. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins subsequently engage \"Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) [which] are key effector cells of type 2 immunity,\" facilitating the characteristic features of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRSwNP). \n\nThe role of mitochondrial homeostasis in this process is underscored by the function of \"Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) [as] an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation.\" Disruptions in this mitochondrial surveillance can exacerbate inflammatory outcomes, as LONP1 deficiency is linked to oxidative stress and aberrant cytokine production. Mechanotransduction also plays a part, as \"These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation.\" Furthermore, the modulation of alarmin release is contingent on protease inhibitors, where \"These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses.\" These pathways converge to drive \"Epithelial cells [to] initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention.\" Finally, the phenotypic state of ILC2s is dynamic, as \"A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Alternaria-induced ILC2 activation is not merely a consequence of alarmin signaling but is subject to mechanical checkpoints like Piezo1.\n* LONP1 acts as a potential immunometabolic checkpoint, where mitochondrial protein quality control directly impacts the inflammatory trajectory of the airway epithelium.\n* The severity of Alternaria-driven responses is modulated by SLPI, which serves as a molecular brake on the protease-mediated activation of IL-33.\n* ILC2s exhibit significant phenotypic plasticity, particularly when transitioning toward ILC3-like or steroid-resistant states.\n* The cross-talk between eosinophils and epithelial cells is bi-directional and foundational to tissue-resident remodeling in chronic rhinosinusitis.\n* Mitochondrial dysfunction (driven by LONP1/Drp1) is an upstream contributor to the cytokine/chemokine environment of the asthma/CRSwNP mucosa.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities."

Several pivotal studies demonstrating tezepelumab effectiveness and leading to regulatory and marketing authorization have since been complemented by further evidence, most notably from the following studies: (a) for severe uncontrolled asthma, the PASSAGE phase 4 clinical trial, conducted in a routine clinical practice setting, found that tezepelumab significantly reduced exacerbations, including in underrepresented populations (African-Americans, adolescents, smokers, individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and improved lung function, disease control, and quality of life. (b) For corticosteroid-dependent asthma, the WAYFINDER phase 3b clinical trial reported tezepelumab's effectiveness in reducing both dependency and the number of exacerbations as well as clinical remission in around a quarter of patients. (c) For chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, the WAYPOINT phase 3 clinical trial found that tezepelumab, after therapeutic optimization, decreased nasal polyp size and nasal congestion, improved clinical impact and sense of smell, and reduced the need for surgery. (d) For moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the COURSE phase 2a clinical trial reported a non-significant reduction in exacerbations, but also that reductions were greater for the type 2 phenotype (eosinophils \u2265150\u00a0cells/\u03bcL). In conclusion, up-to-date evidence confirms tezepelumab safety and efficacy in treating severe uncontrolled asthma in routine clinical practice and in managing corticosteroid-dependent asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.

As a mitochondrial gatekeeper, voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) mediates the elimination of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy. However, whether VDAC1 contributes to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization reduced infarct volume and improved neurological function following cerebral I/R. We further confirmed that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization promoted mitophagy, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. Additionally, VDAC1 knockdown restored mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, thereby alleviating mitochondria damage in neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation /reoxygenation (OGD/R). Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into the regulation of mitophagy in cerebral I/R injury and suggest that VDAC1 represents a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke."

How environmental allergens activate GSDMD remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that exposing epithelial cells to allergens triggers protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1)-dependent ferritinophagy, elevating intracellular labile iron. This iron pool is essential for noncanonical, protease-independent GSDMD activation. The iron chaperone poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) delivers iron directly to GSDMD, initiating a highly localized Fenton reaction. This generates constrained hydroxyl radicals that cleave GSDMD, releasing the active N-terminal p40 fragment to form pores for IL-33 release. Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Our findings reveal an unconventional, iron-catalyzed, and protease-independent mechanism for GSDMD activation, offering potential new therapeutic targets for allergic inflammatory diseases."

Studying ILCs within their native microenvironment remains challenging due to the low abundance of these tissue-resident immune cells. Here, we applied cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence, namely multiepitope ligand cartography (MELC), in a systemic IL-33-induced type 2 inflammation model to spatio-temporally characterize ILC phenotype and localization in mouse lungs. Niche analysis with all identified cell types resulted in four distinct niches and an expansion of a mixed B and Plasma cell (BPC)/blood endothelial cell (BEC) niche, while the niche predominated by blood endothelial cells decreased at IL-33 day 3. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation. ILC2s were in direct contact with activated alveolar macrophages and lymphatics. While they expressed ICOS under homeostatic conditions, pronounced expression of MHCII at days 1 and 3 of IL-33 stimulation was observed. Unlike ILC2s, NK\u00a0cells/ILC1s were coenriched near blood\u00a0vessels, next to B\u00a0cells\u00a0and plasma cells. Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatial multiplex imaging for dissecting rare immune cell localization and phenotypes and uncover dynamic, tissue-specific remodeling of ILC niches during early type 2 inflammation."

Real-world data on the use of tezepelumab in patients with severe relapsing CRSwNP remain limited. To describe the initial experience of tezepelumab application in real-world setting in patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate early improvement of symptoms, quality of life, and tolerability of therapy based on available clinical data. We describe clinical observations of 8 patients with recurrent CRSwNP who received tezepelumab 210 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 2 months. Patients were treated in a multidisciplinary day hospital. The total severity of symptoms was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life - using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, the initial endoscopic picture - using the Lund-Kennedy score. In addition, peripheral blood eosinophils, treatment history, comorbidity and tolerability of therapy were evaluated. The primary assessment was performed at the baseline visit and approximately 2 months after the start of treatment. The analysis was descriptive. The series included 8 patients, 6 of whom were women; the mean age was 54.2\u00b19.0 years. All patients had recurrent CRSwNP and a history of surgical interventions. Bronchial asthma was described in 5 of 8 patients, and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or Samster's triad - in 4 of 8. Initially, the average score for VAS was 30.2\u00b11.7, for SNOT-22 - 63.8\u00b13.9. After 2 months, the mean VAS score decreased to 11.0\u00b11.2, the average absolute change amounted to 19.2\u00b11.5 points. The mean SNOT-22 score decreased to 30.1\u00b15.8, with an average absolute change of -33.6\u00b15.9 points. Improvement in VAS and SNOT-22 scores was observed in all 8 patients. The course of treatment was continued for all patients due to clinical improvement. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The obtained observation results are preliminary. Confirmation in larger, systematically assembled cohorts with longer follow-up and standardized assessment of endoscopic, radiographic symptoms and safety indicators is needed.

We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42226044\nTitle: MyD88 mediates allergic airway inflammation by regulating ILC2s function through inducing the formation of P38/GATA3 complex.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma stands as the predominant asthma phenotype propelled by aberrant type 2 immune response. Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42421742\nTitle: Mitochondrial transcription factor A: linking mtDNA maintenance, mitochondrial stress responses, and inflammaging.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that directly binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and contributes to mitochondrial genome maintenance. Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression."

Currently approved biologics for paediatric use (\u22656 or \u226512\u00a0years of age) include anti-immunoglobulin E (omalizumab), anti-interleukin (IL)-5 (mepolizumab), ultra-long acting anti-IL5 (depemokimab), anti-IL-5 receptor (benralizumab), anti-IL4/IL-13 (dupilumab), and anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) (tezepelumab). While clinical trials have shown promising results, real-world data on long-term efficacy and safety in children and adolescents remain limited. Moreover, guidelines for initiating, monitoring biologics and assessing treatment response varies across countries lacking consensus. This is the second in a series of narrative reviews on biologics in severe paediatric asthma. The first review summarised key clinical trials findings and offered practical guidance for initiating therapy. In this review, we focus on strategies for monitoring treatment response, the role of asthma biomarkers and the potential of emerging therapies. We also highlight current research gaps and future directions to optimise biologics use in children and adolescents with severe asthma."

Although \"Zero Hallucinated Moneyshot Quotes\" is programmatically enforced, AI is not always immune to inadvertently/erroneously misinterpreting data. This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe claim evaluated is that Lon Protease (LONP1), fungal allergens like *Alternaria*, and alarmins (IL-33, TSLP) function within an interconnected immunometabolic network that dictates inflammatory endotypes in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis. The evidence confirms that this axis represents a critical frontier in precision medicine for airway diseases.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis of the provided literature confirms that fungal allergens, particularly *Alternaria alternata*, trigger airway inflammation through the release of epithelial alarmins (IL-33, TSLP), which activate Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s). Parallel evidence reveals that the mitochondrial protease LONP1 acts as a checkpoint for metabolic and inflammatory homeostasis, influencing cellular responses to oxidative stress. Collectively, these pathways characterize a shift toward personalized, endotype-driven asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management, highlighting the potential for novel therapeutic interventions targeting epithelial signaling and mitochondrial quality control.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe orchestration of airway inflammation in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis is a complex process defined by epithelial injury. Fungal proteases, such as those from *Alternaria*, disrupt mucosal barriers and initiate a cascade of alarmin release. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. These alarmins effectively prime the local microenvironment, leading to the expansion and activation of ILC2s. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation.\n\nCentral to this cellular activation are the metabolic and proteolytic checkpoints that govern inflammatory survival. Mitochondrial quality control, managed by proteins like LONP1, prevents the maladaptive release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. When these checkpoints fail, or when environmental triggers like allergens create a \"two-hit\" inflammatory state, the immune response becomes chronic and difficult to manage with conventional steroids alone. This has driven the development of targeted biologics. Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against thymic stromal lymphopoietin that inhibits initiation of the type 2 inflammatory cascade. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. This interplay between mitochondrial maintenance and inflammatory secretion is further regulated by intracellular iron and metabolic programs: Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Additionally, Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Finally, MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal allergens can initiate a \"two-hit\" inflammatory model where live spore exposure exacerbates pre-existing, OVA-primed airway damage.\n* LONP1 serves as a dual-function gatekeeper, maintaining mitochondrial DNA integrity while modulating inflammatory cell polarization in response to oxidative stress.\n* The \"residual molecular scar\" phenomenon explains why some patients with ECRS exhibit persistent mucus hyperviscosity even after successful biological blockade of IL-4/IL-13.\n* ILC2s are not merely passive responders; they exhibit subset heterogeneity (migratory, transitional, inflammatory, exhausted) that correlates with clinical severity in nasal polyps.\n* Treg/Th2 imbalance in severe asthma is reversible, as shown by benralizumab therapy restoring immune homeostasis and modifying adhesion molecule expression.\n* The gut-lung axis utilizes tryptophan metabolism to reprogram ILC2s, potentially allowing microbiome-derived postbiotics to serve as non-live therapeutic alternatives.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities.\n\nID: 42415819\nTitle: In vitro IgE diagnostics in inhalant allergy: Plant and mold allergens.\nAbstract: Respiratory allergies represent one of the most prevalent immune-mediated disorders worldwide, such as allergic rhinitis and asthma. The advent of in vitro diagnostic methods, particularly those based on molecular allergology, has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to inhalant allergies by enabling precise identification of sensitizing allergens at the molecular level. This review presents an analysis of the current status of in vitro diagnostics in respiratory allergy to plants and molds, with emphasis on molecular diagnostics for key allergens from trees (e.g., birch/Betula verrucosa), grasses (Poaceae family), weeds (e.g.mugwort/Artemisia vulgaris, ragweed/Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and molds (e.g. Alternaria, Aspergillus). We discuss major allergenic proteins, diagnostic tools, implications for precision medicine, and integration with precision immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42331527\nTitle: [Analysis of allergen sensitization profile in children at a hospital in Suzhou City from 2022 to 2024].\nAbstract: To systematically characterize the allergen sensitization profile among children attending a tertiary hospital in Suzhou and to explore its associations with age, sex, and clinical disease phenotypes, thereby providing regional evidence for precision prevention and control strategies. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted involving 3 374 children aged 0-18 years who attended the Department of Pediatrics of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from November 2022 to May 2024. Participants were stratified into three age groups: infants (03.6 points) significantly increased the risk of persistent CRS (OR\u2009=\u20093.41; 95% CI: 1.50-7.76; p\u2009=\u2009.003). ILC-2 cells were detected more frequently in nasal samples from preschool children with persistent CRS. Independent predictors of AR-HDM included a history of food allergy in infancy (OR\u2009=\u20093.87; 1.10-13.60; 0.034) and prominent allergic symptoms at baseline (allergy-related SN-5 domain ratio \u226521%), (OR\u2009=\u20093.96; 1.20-13.10; 0.025). The combined presence of these factors additionally improves the prediction of AR-HDM. Higher SN-5 score and presence of ILC-2 in the nasal mucosa increase the risk of persistence of CRS. The co-occurrence of a relatively higher allergy domain of SN-5 score and a history of food allergy facilitates prediction of HDM allergy in preschoolers, enabling the timely initiation of allergen immunotherapy in allergic children.

Mitochondria have emerged not only as central hubs of cellular metabolism but also as active modulators of immunity and inflammation. Mitochondrial proteases are essential regulators of mitochondrial protein quality control, dynamics, and stress responses. By selectively degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, they maintain mitochondrial function and bioenergetic capacity. Beyond housekeeping roles, mitochondrial proteases also influence immune signaling by modulating mitochondrial stress pathways, reactive oxygen species production, and the release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial proteases CLPXP, LONP1, i-AAA, m-AAA, as well as processing peptidase OMA1, in immune cells and inflammatory pathologies. We explore the molecular mechanisms by which these mitochondrial proteases regulate immune signaling, integrating the results from immune cells as well as other non-immune cell types, including those involved in cancer, neurodegeneration, renal injury, and other inflammatory pathologies. We explore mitochondrial proteases function as context-dependent regulators of immunometabolic signaling, with effects shaped by cell type, metabolic state, and stress conditions. Finally, we discuss emerging small molecules and drugs targeting mitochondrial proteases to highlight their potential therapeutic role in modulating inflammation. By situating mitochondrial proteases at the crossroads of immunometabolism and therapeutic intervention, this review underscores their untapped potential in the development of innovative anti-inflammatory strategies.\n\nID: 42393712\nTitle: The mitochondrial protease, LonP1, is a potential cardioprotective target for attenuating doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death.\nAbstract: Doxorubicin (DOX), a first-line chemotherapeutic agent, has been linked to severe off-target cardiotoxicity in the clinic. Previous works suggest that mitochondria are key mediators of this cardiotoxicity. Leakage of mitochondrial contents after DOX treatment, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is thought to activate apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways implicated in cardiomyocyte cell death. Whether the master mitochondrial protease, LonP1, can dampen these pathways and improve cardiomyocyte viability following DOX treatment remains unknown. Human cardiac cells (AC-16) and primary (1\u00b0) human cardiomyocytes were subjected to DOX treatment, followed by bulk RNA-Seq, RT-qPCR, qPCR, and immunoblotting to assess apoptotic signaling, inflammatory signaling, mtDNA release, and LonP1 expression, respectively. Lentivirus transduction of AC-16 cells was used to generate both knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) LonP1 cell lines to determine the effects of altered LonP1 levels on DOX-induced apoptosis and mtDNA release. Further, levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were measured using qPCR from serum samples obtained from patients undergoing DOX treatment to assess the clinical relevance of released mtDNA as a potential biomarker for the development of DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX treatment of AC-16 cells, as well as 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes, upregulated both apoptotic and inflammatory signaling in both cell models. Increased LonP1 levels were also observed under DOX treatment in AC-16 cells and 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes. Likewise, DOX increased mtDNA release from both cell lines, both prior to, and as a sequel to cell death. Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects. Furthermore, DOX treatment in cancer patients increases plasma mtDNA levels. These findings suggest LonP1 plays a protective role in the heart following DOX treatment, supporting LonP1 as a potential novel therapeutic target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity. Patterns of mtDNA release within patients undergoing DOX treatment also highlight the potential of mtDNA as a potential biomarker and target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity, justifying the need for more extensive, prospectively monitored cohort studies to expand upon these findings and statistically model mtDNA release patterns.\n\nID: 42345640\nTitle: Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Insights from Tissue and Peripheral Blood Flow Cytometric Analysis.\nAbstract: (1) Background: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are potent cytokine producers that regulate local immune responses in tissues. Natural killer (NK) cells belong to group 1 ILCs and play an important role in tumor clearance and defense against intracellular pathogens. ILC2 and 3 have been implied in allergic responses and other chronic inflammatory diseases. The role of these cells in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is not completely understood. There are changes in the cellular infiltrate in the mucosa of patients with CRS with and without polyps. The aim of this study was to characterize the number and phenotype of NK cells, ILC2s and ILC3s in patients with CRS. (2) Methods: Tissue samples were collected from patients with CRS with and without nasal polyps who were undergoing nasal sinus surgery as well as control patients who were undergoing surgery due to non-inflammatory reasons. Lymphocytes were isolated from the tissues using mechanical and enzymatic dissociation. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from the same patients. All cells were examined by multicolor flow cytometry. NK cells were analyzed for the distribution of CD56dimCD16+ and CD56brightCD16- subsets and the expression of IL18R\u03b1, CD16, CD57, GATA3, TCF1 and NKp44. In ILC2s, GATA3 and IL18R\u03b1 expression was determined, and ILC3s as well as NKp44+ and NKp44-ILC3 subsets were analyzed for the expression of IL18R\u03b1. (3) Results: There were significantly fewer NK cells in the nasal polyps compared to the peripheral blood of patients with CRSwNP and tissues from CRSsNP patients, which both showed higher levels of TCF1 expression. Irrespective of the disease condition, NK cells in tissues showed lower CD16 expression and a lower frequency of the CD56dimCD16+ subset compared to the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Additionally, a smaller percentage of NK cells were terminally matured, as measured by CD16+ and CD57+ expression, in all examined nasal mucosa tissues. In the tissue ILC3s, we predominantly found cells from the NKp44- subset in all groups. ILC3s from CRSsNP patients showed the highest frequencies of IL18R\u03b1+ cells of all examined tissues. ILC2s from the polyps ofCRSwNP patients showed higher levels of GATA3 expression than their peripheral blood counterparts. (4) Conclusions: We found that tissue-resident NK cells in mucosa from the nose and sinuses are a more heterogenous and less mature population than those in peripheral blood. Expression of the examined markers in NK cells was similar among groups. NK cell frequency, both in blood and tissue from CRSsNP patients, was higher than in the other groups, indicating that these cells might play an important role in this phenotype. Changes in the IL18R\u03b1 expression of ILC3s suggest a potential role of IL18 signaling in CRS pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42182319\nTitle: Influenza-induced tuft cell expansion alters ILC-mediated inflammation.\nAbstract: Tuft cells act as sentinels that amplify type 2 inflammation primarily by activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 restrains tuft cell differentiation, whereas ILC2s drive tuft cell expansion, establishing a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited reduced eosinophilic inflammation and expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation, type 2 suppression and oxidative stress. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data identify a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that helps maintain a balanced inflammatory environment in response to viral injury and aeroallergens.\n\nID: 42061467\nTitle: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells: Where are we 15 years out?\nAbstract: Over the past 2 decades, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have emerged as critical early responders in immune responses, orchestrating inflammation through cytokine production independent of antigen specificity. Early after their discovery, group 2 ILCs (ILC2s) were found to produce high levels of IL5 and IL13 upon stimulation by epithelial-derived alarmins IL33, IL25, and TSLP. Since then, a robust amount of literature has emerged that places ILC2s central to type 2 inflammatory diseases, including rhinosinusitis and asthma. Recent work continues to rapidly expand our knowledge of how ILC2s are modulated and contribute to immune disease and maintain homeostasis. This review will focus on recent updates to our understanding of ILC2s in the context of neural and endocrine modulation, memory/trained immunity, cellular fate/plasticity, and adaptive type 2 responses.\n\nID: 41956382\nTitle: Heterogeneity and clinical relevance of group 2 innate lymphoid cells subsets in nasal polyps.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is characterized by type 2 (T2) inflammation with elevated IL-5 and IL-13. Although group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) drive T2 inflammation, their subset diversity and clinical relevance in nasal polyps (NPs) remain unclear. We investigated cellular sources of T2 cytokines, subset heterogeneity of ILC2s, and the relationship between ILC2 subsets and clinical severity in chronic rhinosinusitis with NPs. ILC2s and CD4+ T cells were isolated from NP tissue and analyzed for cytokine production. ILC2s from 6 NP and 4 peripheral blood samples underwent single-cell RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression, subset heterogeneity, and pseudotime trajectory analyses were performed. Flow cytometry validated ILC2 subsets and associations with clinical parameters. Under ex vivo conditions, NP-derived ILC2s produced higher IL-5 and IL-13 levels than TH2 cells. NP-derived ILC2s showed downregulation of early developmental and trafficking genes (CD48, S1PR1) and upregulation of T2-associated cytokines (IL5, IL13), chemokines (XCL1, CXCL8), remodeling factors (AREG, TNFSF14), and METRNL. Four ILC2 subsets reflecting activation states were identified: migratory (tissue-homing with less activation), transitional (intermediate activation), inflammatory (high activation and T2 cytokines), and exhausted-like (expression of inhibitory receptors [eg, TIGIT]). The combined number of T2 cytokine-enriched subsets (transitional, inflammatory, and exhausted-like ILC2s) correlated with Lund-Mackay computed tomography scores. Inflammatory and exhausted-like ILC2s were associated with clinical symptom severity. ILC2s are one of the important effector populations driving local T2 inflammation in NPs and include 4 subsets with specific clinical associations. Subset-level ILC2 profiling may clarify chronic rhinosinusitis with NP pathophysiology and inform clinical stratification.\n\nID: 42421939\nTitle: New-onset allergic diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection: mechanistic hypotheses and emerging strategies for risk stratification.\nAbstract: Multinational cohort studies consistently associate SARS-CoV-2 infection with elevated incidence of allergic diseases, with hazard ratios of 2.25 for asthma and 1.23 for allergic rhinitis persisting beyond six months post-infection; whether this excess risk reflects de novo allergic sensitization or preferential unmasking of pre-existing subclinical atopy remains to be established. Yet mechanisms bridging acute viral illness to delayed allergic phenotypes remain incompletely understood. This review synthesizes recent advances across epithelial biology, immunology, and neuroimmune interactions to propose a unified mechanistic framework organized around three interconnected axes. First, epithelial injury during COVID-19 triggers passive IL-33 release while inducing active TSLP and IL-25 production. These alarmins act through mechanistically distinct pathways to converge on type 2 immune priming, which is established and reinforced by epigenetic memory in group 2 innate lymphoid cells and dendritic cells. Second, regulatory T cell depletion and, hypothetically, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell epigenetic reprogramming driven by acute interleukin-6 elevation may generate immune cell progeny with persistently altered inflammatory responsiveness, while dendritic cells adopt Th2-polarizing phenotypes that lower the threshold for allergic sensitization; the direct contribution of hematopoietic reprogramming to Th2-skewed allergic outcomes remains to be demonstrated. Third, mast cells undergo direct spike protein-mediated activation via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, and alarmin-primed mast cells establish bidirectional crosstalk with sensory neurons that amplifies neuroinflammation and links long COVID symptoms to heightened allergic susceptibility. Together, these axes define a post-infectious vulnerability window during which allergen encounters trigger exaggerated type 2 responses. Risk stratification incorporating disease severity, circulating biomarkers including immunoglobulin E and eosinophil counts, and genetic susceptibility variants may identify individuals requiring targeted surveillance, while mechanistically informed interventions such as low-dose interleukin-2, mast cell stabilizers, and alarmin-targeted biologics warrant prospective evaluation in convalescent cohorts.\n\nID: 42381636\nTitle: Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions.\nAbstract: Cytotoxic type 2 T cells (Tc2) are increasingly recognized as contributors to type 2 inflammation, including asthma, yet the metabolic programs that support their function remain poorly defined. We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity.\n\nID: 42363337\nTitle: Modern approaches in asthma management: Revolutionizing severe asthma treatment with biologics.\nAbstract: There have been advancements in the management of asthma among adults over the last two decades. The type 2 processes of airways inflammation and the use of type 2 biomarkers fractional expired nitric oxide and eosinophils have been further illuminated owing to such advancements. Moreover, epithelial cells are appearing as noteworthy elements for inflammation via the production of alarmins to start the local injury along with downstream pathways. Five new biologics have revolutionised severe asthma therapy apart from omalizumab, which are mepolizumab, benralizumab, reslizumab, dupilumab and tezepelumab. These biologics prevent the exacerbations significantly, thereby sparing the use of systemic corticosteroids and their adverse effects. For both rescue and maintenance therapies, the available guidelines prove the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists, like formoterol. Future guidelines ought to incorporate phenotype/endotype-focussed management to acquire further precision-directed therapy.\n\nID: 42351791\nTitle: The Complement System and Its Role in Eosinophilic Inflammation in Respiratory Diseases.\nAbstract: The complement system is a key link between innate and adaptive immunity, contributing to pathogen elimination, immune regulation, and tissue homeostasis. Its activation is not only crucial in infections, such as COVID-19, but also plays a major role in the pathomechanism of several non-infectious respiratory diseases, such as asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis and lung cancer. Complement components can modulate the quality of the adaptive immune responses, including through the regulation of T2 immunity and eosinophilic inflammation, thereby linking natural defense to complex immune processes. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that dysregulated complement activity contributes to inflammation, thrombosis and tissue damage in a wide range of respiratory diseases. The study of the various components of this cascade system may therefore be promising from both a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. Some of its components may serve as biomarkers for distinguishing between different phenotypes of certain lung diseases, while their targeted inhibition or modulation may open the way towards new treatment options. A better understanding of the complement system's integrative and regulatory role not only allows for a deeper insight into immunological interactions but may also bring us closer to phenotype-oriented, immunology-based pulmonology, which may have real clinical benefits in the future.\n\nID: 42341000\nTitle: Inflammatory Signatures Beyond Th1/Th2 Endotypes Provide Insights Into Postoperative Recurrence in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents a spectrum of inflammatory endotypes, driven by distinct T helper (Th) immune responses. The high rate of recurrent disease despite appropriate medical and surgical interventions highlights the need for improved characterization beyond the traditional type 2 and non-type 2 phenotypes to better inform personalized treatment. Sinonasal tissue samples were obtained from 105 CRS patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. Histopathologic evaluation classified inflammatory patterns by predominant cell type and severity. Levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17- and epithelial-derived cytokines were quantified using a multiplex immunoassay targeting 12 markers. Clinical, radiologic, and follow-up data were correlated with inflammatory patterns and cytokine profiles. Type 2 CRS, identified in 65 patients (62%), was associated with higher levels of IL-5, IL-13, and TSLP (p = 0.0002, <0.0001, and 0.02, respectively), whereas IL-8 was elevated in non-type 2 disease (p = 0.022). Recurrence occurred in 22 patients (21%) and was associated with asthma (p = 0.002), anosmia (p = 0.006), prior steroids use (p = 0.044), lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory pattern (p = 0.022), higher IL-13 (p = 0.045), and IL-33 (p = 0.031). Recurrence rates did not differ between inflammatory profiles (Th2, Th1/Th17, and mixed). Asthma remained the only independent predictor of recurrence in multivariable Cox model (HR 2.48, 95% CI 1.003-8.042, p = 0.049). Elevated IL-33 levels and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation were associated with postoperative recurrence, underscoring the role of epithelial\u2012immune signaling in persistent mucosal inflammation, whereas comorbid asthma remained the only independent predictor of refractory CRS.\n\nID: 42327775\nTitle: Restoring balance in atopic disorders: insights into type 2 immunity and chronic inflammation.\nAbstract: Atopic diseases arise from an immunological imbalance where regulatory mechanisms are unable to preserve or restore homeostasis, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions affecting epithelial organs. This may involve homeostasis, deficient or insufficient regulatory T cells (Tregs) or other aberrant regulatory mechanisms. Type 2 (T2) immunity is a conserved response that evolved to combat large helminth parasites (worms), venoms, and toxins involving both innate and adaptive immune pathways. Many T2 cytokines and alarmins act to recruit and activate innate and adaptive immune cells, and they also lead to mucous production, hyperplasia, and tissue remodeling. These responses were designed to enhance expulsion of parasites, repair the barrier and elicit protective mechanical reflexes such as scratching or coughing. Today, with reduced parasitic exposure serving as an opposing influence on T2 immunity, it is hypothesized that T2 responses may be triggered by low amounts of environmental stimuli in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to unchecked T2 inflammation and atopic diseases at multiple barrier surfaces. This paper reviews the evidence linking host T2 immunity with T2 inflammatory mechanisms in atopic diseases and explores the hypothesis that these diseases may be perpetuated from a central imbalance between Th2 vs. Th1, Th3, and Tregs, influenced by tissue-dependent, local environmental-insult-driven innate cell responses, interconnected by a cycle of self-amplifying cytokine signaling.\n\nID: 42327099\nTitle: Mitochondrial degradation of metallothionein enables local zinc mobilization during zinc limitation.\nAbstract: Zinc is an essential structural and enzymatic cofactor for roughly 10% of proteins, including transcription factors, metabolic enzymes, and cytoskeletal components. It also supports critical functions across organelles such as gene regulation in the nucleus, protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, and energy production and antioxidant defense in mitochondria. Despite these indispensable roles, the cellular mechanism that recycles zinc to maintain homeostasis during zinc deficiency remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a biphasic response to zinc limitation, which involves the rapid degradation of the zinc-storing metallothionein followed by the degradation, in an autophagy-dependent manner, of other zinc-binding proteins. We show that metallothionein is rapidly imported into the mitochondria to be degraded by the mitoprotease LONP1. Zinc starvation leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction and metallothionein degradation allows local zinc release to alleviate nutrient stress. Our results reveal a non-canonical, mitochondria-mediated degradation pathway for a nutrient-storing protein that mobilizes zinc locally to maintain metabolic homeostasis and establish mitochondria as active hubs for nutrient recycling.\n\nID: 42273761\nTitle: Murine Eosinophilic and Neutrophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis Models Reveal Phenotype-Specific Steroid Responses.\nAbstract: BackgroundChronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) comprises heterogeneous eosinophilic (type-2) and neutrophilic (type-1/3) endotypes, yet existing murine models rarely distinguish them or compare their therapeutic responsiveness.MethodsSeven-week-old female C57BL/6N mice received intranasal instillations three times weekly for 4 or 12 weeks with either (1) a clinically relevant airborne allergen cocktail (house dust mite [HDM], Aspergillus fumigatus, Alternaria alternata, and Staphylococcus aureus protease) to induce eosinophilic CRS (ECRS) or (2) an innate stimulus mixture (lipopolysaccharide, \u03b2-1,3-glucan, and S. aureus protease) to induce neutrophilic CRS (NCRS). A parallel cohort received weekly dexamethasone administration (2 mg/kg). Endpoints included flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, quantitative PCR, histology, and immunofluorescence assays.ResultsFour-week allergen exposure produced a pure ECRS phenotype characterized by robust tissue eosinophilia, type-2 cytokines, and marked responsiveness to dexamethasone. Extending allergen delivery to 12 weeks generated mixed CRS with superimposed neutrophilia, upregulation of Il1b/Tgfb1, mucus hypersecretion, and attenuated steroid efficacy. Innate stimulus treatment yielded a steroid-resistant NCRS phenotype dominated by neutrophils, elevated Ifng/Il17a expression, and minimal type-2 biomarkers. Systemic eotaxin and HDM-specific immunoglobulin E mirrored those found in local eosinophilia, whereas circulating granulocytes remained unchanged across groups.ConclusionsBy adjusting the stimulus type and duration, we established tunable murine models that recapitulate pure ECRS, mixed CRS, and steroid-resistant NCRS within a single genetic background. These paired models provide a versatile platform for dissecting endotype-specific mechanisms and evaluating tailored interventions, highlighting the potential importance of early, phenotype-directed CRS therapy.\n\nID: 42262699\nTitle: Evaluating the Potential Infectious Risk Profile of Biologics in Chronic Rhinosinusitis With Nasal Polyposis.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42259242\nTitle: Macrophage-derived exosomal miR-146b-5p exacerbates ILC2-mediated inflammation in allergic asthma by regulating the TRAF6/NF-\u03baB pathway.\nAbstract: Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are key drivers of the type 2 inflammatory response. This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles regulate ILC2 cells during the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, thereby providing novel evidence and directions for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition. An ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma mouse model was established. Macrophage-derived exosomes were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) via ultracentrifugation, followed by miRNA sequencing analysis. Using Deseq2 software and RT-qPCR to screen and validate key miRNAs and their enriched pathways; In vivo experiments were conducted by tail vein injection of miRNA-146b-5p mimics into asthmatic mice. Subsequent assessments included Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL fluorescence, pulmonary function testing, RT-qPCR, Western blot analysis, and ELISA. These evaluated the effects of miRNA-146b-5p mimics on pulmonary inflammation, lung function, ILC2 cell proliferation, and the inflammatory cytokines produced (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) and the TRAF-6/NF-\u03baB pathway; In vitro experiments: Co-culturing macrophage exosomes and miRNA-146b-5p mimics with ILC2 cells, followed by ELISA detection of ILC2-associated inflammatory cytokines and Western blot analysis of relevant inflammatory pathways. Compared with normal mice, 99 miRNAs were upregulated and 92 miRNAs were downregulated in macrophage exosomes from the alveolar lavage fluid of allergic asthma mice. Differentially expressed miRNAs were significantly enriched in pathways such as NF-\u03baB. By intersecting the top 50 differentially expressed miRNAs with those targeting candidate pathways, yielding three candidate miRNAs: mmu-miR-181b-5p, mmu-miR-146b-5p, and mmu-miR-222-3p. Sequencing and RT-qPCR validation revealed that miR-146b-5p was significantly downregulated in the model group, with upregulation of TRAF-6 gene expression and NF-\u03baB pathway activity. Intravenous tail vein injection of miRNA-146b-5p mimics into model group mice alleviated pulmonary inflammatory infiltration, improved lung function, and reduced levels of ILC2-associated inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, TSLP); Co-culture of macrophage exosomes with ILC2 cells demonstrated that exosomes from asthma mice promoted ILC2 cell proliferation. Co-incubation with miRNA-146b-5p mimics inhibited ILC2 cell proliferation and reduced NF-\u03baB pathway expression. Alveolar macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles containing miR-146b-5p promote ILC2 cell activation and inflammatory cytokine release by targeting the TRAF6/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, thereby exacerbating the pathological progression of allergic asthma. Exogenous supplementation with miR-146b-5p mimics effectively suppresses activation of the TRAF6/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby alleviating ILC2-mediated inflammatory responses. This provides novel potential targets and theoretical rationale for the prevention and treatment of allergic asthma.\n\nID: 42259139\nTitle: Club cells in asthma: Multifunctional regulators of airway integrity and emerging therapeutic targets.\nAbstract: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by complex interactions among multiple cell types within the local microenvironment. Among these, Club cells (CCs) are specialized airway epithelial cells that play key roles in maintaining airway integrity and immune homeostasis. They contribute to epithelial repair, barrier maintenance, innate defense, circadian control, and xenobiotic metabolism. Accumulating evidence also indicates that CCs exhibit substantial functional heterogeneity and may act as both protectors of bronchiolar integrity and context-dependent drivers of airway inflammation and remodeling. However, the roles of CCs in asthma remain incompletely understood, as current evidence is fragmented across different subfields of respiratory research. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the multifaceted roles of CCs by highlighting their critical regenerative and immune-regulatory functions pertaining to the pathobiology of asthma. We further discuss how loss of protective mediators such as SCGB1A1, dysregulated club-to-goblet cell differentiation, the release of alarmins, and damage-associated molecular patterns may link CCs dysfunction to inflammatory endotypes, mucus hypersecretion and airway remodeling. Finally, emerging CC-targeted therapeutic strategies are also summarized, highlighting their potential to move beyond symptom management toward precision interventions that restore bronchiolar homeostasis.\n\nID: 42219609\nTitle: The Multiple Roles and Targeting Strategies of LonP1 in the Occurrence and Development of Cancer.\nAbstract: LonP1, a mitochondrial AAA+ protease, serves as a pivotal integrator of mitochondrial quality control (MQC) and metabolic reprogramming in cancer progression. Alternative splicing generates three functionally distinct isoforms: full-length ISO1 maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by degrading oxidized proteins and stabilizing mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) for mtDNA integrity; truncated ISO2 (\u039442-105 AA) drives glycolytic reprogramming and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by upregulating Snail/vimentin; and cytoplasmic ISO3 (\u03941-196 AA) lacks protease activity and is tumor-irrelevant. Tumor microenvironment (TME) cues (hypoxia, H. pylori infection, PFOA exposure, glutamine depletion) regulate LonP1 via Akt phosphorylation/Sirt3 deacetylation, coordinating MQC and metabolic adaptation to support cancer cell survival and metastasis. Functional data confirm its pro-tumor role: LonP1 upregulation enhances cervical cancer mitophagy and gastric cancer glycolysis, while knockdown induces mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. This review summarizes current advances by (1) systematically integrating the isoform-specific functions of LonP1; (2) constructing a \"LonP1-MQC-metabolism\" regulatory network based on published evidence; and (3) proposing isoform-specific targeted strategies for precision oncology. These insights position LonP1 as a promising candidate for precision oncology, offering a cohesive understanding of mitochondrial regulation in cancer.\n\nID: 42219146\nTitle: Monoclonal antibodies targeting inflammatory pathways in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Evidence and opportunities.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and heterogeneous inflammatory lung disease associated with exacerbations that drive morbidity, mortality, and health care utilization worldwide. Although inhaled therapies remain the cornerstone of treatment, many patients continue to experience exacerbations despite optimized therapy, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Advances in understanding COPD immunopathology have identified several inflammatory pathways that may be amenable to monoclonal antibody therapies. Traditionally, COPD has been associated with neutrophilic inflammation linked to type-1 and type-3 immune responses. However, clinical trials targeting these pathways, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2, and IL-17, have largely failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. In contrast, increasing evidence supports a role for type-2 inflammation and upstream pathways in a subset of patients with COPD, including individuals without a history of asthma. Biomarkers such as blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide can help identify this endotype and guide therapeutic selection. Randomized trials of monoclonal antibodies suppressing inflammatory pathways have demonstrated reductions in exacerbations among carefully selected patients with eosinophilic COPD, leading to the recent recommendation of dupilumab and mepolizumab in international treatment guidelines. Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways. A consistent finding is that patients with moderate (nonsevere) COPD and concomitantly elevated blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide derive greater benefit from monoclonal antibodies. These developments suggest that targeted monoclonal antibody therapy may play an expanding role in COPD management, supporting the concept of earlier intervention in high-risk COPD.\n\nID: 42203684\nTitle: Association Between Fungi and Postoperative Recurrence in Eosinophilic Chronic Rhinosinusitis.\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42194624\nTitle: Clinical Significance of the IL-33/sST2 Axis and Vitamin D Status in the Assessment of Disease Severity and Exacerbation Risk in Asthma: A Prospective Controlled Study.\nAbstract: Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by recurrent exacerbations and variable airflow limitation. Epithelial-derived alarmins, particularly interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor ST2, play key roles in type 2 inflammation. The soluble form of ST2 (sST2) acts as a decoy receptor regulating IL-33 signaling. Vitamin D is an important immunomodulator influencing airway inflammation, but its interaction with the IL-33/ST2 pathway remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the association between serum IL-33, sST2, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels with asthma severity and exacerbation status, and to assess their potential as clinical biomarkers. Methods: This study enrolled 52 adult asthma patients (27 experiencing exacerbation and 25 in remission) and 28 healthy controls. Serum levels of IL-33 and sST2 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, while 25(OH)D concentrations were determined via electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Results: Serum sST2 levels were significantly higher and 25(OH)D levels significantly lower in asthma patients compared with controls (p < 0.000 for both). Serum IL-33 levels did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). During exacerbation, sST2 levels were markedly elevated compared with remission (p < 0.001), whereas vitamin D levels were significantly reduced (p = 0.038). A significant negative correlation was identified between sST2 and 25(OH)D (r = -0.333, p = 0.016). Conclusions: The presence of asthma and the severity of exacerbations are associated with elevated circulating sST2 levels and reduced vitamin D levels. These findings suggest a regulatory interaction between vitamin D and the IL-33/ST2 axis in airway inflammation and indicate that targeting this axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy.\n\nID: 42193919\nTitle: Rebuilding the Mucociliary Apparatus in ECRS: TSLP/IL-33 Signaling Synergy and the Residual Molecular Scar of DNASE1L3 Following IL-4/13 Blockade.\nAbstract: Eosinophilic chronic rhinosinusitis (ECRS) is characterized by refractory nasal polyps and severely impaired mucociliary clearance (MCC). The molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of mucociliogenesis following IL-4/13 blockade with dupilumab remain poorly understood, notwithstanding its proven clinical efficacy. Bulk RNA Barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq) was performed on nasal polyp tissues collected from healthy controls (n = 6), patients with non-ECRS (n = 8), and patients with ECRS both before and four weeks after dupilumab treatment (n = 9) to identify the early molecular drivers underlying ciliary regeneration. Comprehensive gene-set scoring systems were developed to evaluate multiciliogenesis master regulators, master regulators of core/ciliary planar cell polarity (PCP) and PCP components. Interaction scores for epithelial-derived cytokines-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25, and IL-33-were calculated based on ligand and cognate receptor subunit expression. The ciliary master regulatory hierarchy (e.g., FOXJ1, RFX2/3), PCP components (CELSR1 and the ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector (CPLANE) module: FUZ, INTU, WDPCP), and structural ciliogenesis pathways were robustly restored following IL-4/13 blockade. The TSLP interaction score correlated with global mucosal damage, serving as a trigger for compensatory multiciliogenesis. The pre-treatment IL-33 interaction score emerged as a significant predictor of transcriptomic ciliary recovery (p < 0.05). DNASE1L3-the primary endonuclease for degrading eosinophilic extracellular traps (EETs)-remained persistently downregulated post-treatment. IL-4/13 blockade successfully restores the structural and directional \"hardware\" of the respiratory epithelium but fails to rectify the enzymatic \"software\" required for mucus degradation. This \"residual molecular scar\" may explain the persistent mucus hyperviscosity observed in some ECRS patients even after clinical polyp resolution.\n\nID: 42430077\nTitle: Targeting IL-33 in Precision Neuroimmunology: Cellular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies for CNS Disorders.\nAbstract: Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an alarmin cytokine of the IL-1 family, has emerged as a pivotal regulator of neuroimmune interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). Acting through its receptor ST2, IL-33 orchestrates diverse immune responses by modulating microglial polarization, shaping T cell differentiation, activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and engaging mast cell-macrophage regulatory circuits. Across distinct neurological disorders, including epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral malaria, and glioma, IL-33 exerts both protective and pathogenic effects in a context-dependent manner. In epilepsy, IL-33 modulates neuroinflammation and neuronal excitability; in stroke, it attenuates acute neurovascular injury while influencing post-stroke remodeling; in AD, it enhances amyloid-\u03b2 clearance and mitigates chronic neuroinflammation; in MS, it regulates autoimmune demyelination via T cell and innate immune pathways. These shared yet disease-specific mechanisms underscore IL-33's central role in neuroimmune homeostasis and its potential as a precision therapeutic target. Future research integrating multi-disease models, temporal disease staging, and single-cell multi-omics will be essential to define the conditions under which IL-33 modulation yields maximal therapeutic benefit.\n\nID: 42379714\nTitle: Characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with severe asthma receiving tezepelumab after marketing approval in Spain (T-ROSS II study): an observational study protocol.\nAbstract: Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease characterised by airway inflammation, reversible airflow obstruction and airway hyper-responsiveness. Most patients with severe asthma (SA) remain uncontrolled despite the availability of multiple therapies, representing a significant global health burden.Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a central role in asthma initiation via both allergic and non-allergic mechanisms as well as in the persistence of airway inflammation in patients with asthma, acting upstream in the inflammatory cascade.Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets TSLP, has shown clinical efficacy and safety in pivotal trials in patients with T2 and non-T2 asthma. Tezepelumab was approved for use in Europe in October 2022, and the marketing authorisation was issued in Spain in October 2023. The T-ROSS II study is a retrospective, observational, single-arm, multicentre study planned to include 400 patients aged \u226512 years treated in SA units. T-ROSS II will represent the largest published series of patients with SA who initiated tezepelumab after its market authorisation.Eligible patients must have at least 12 months of medical history prior to treatment initiation and a minimum of 3 months of follow-up data recorded in the electronic health records.The co-primary outcomes are to describe baseline patient demographics and clinical characteristics and evaluate changes in the annualised asthma exacerbation rate before and after the initiation of tezepelumab. These findings will complement clinical trial data and inform physicians and healthcare decision-makers about the real-world effectiveness and utilization of tezepelumab in patients with SA. This study is expected to provide valuable insights into the clinical outcomes and treatment patterns of this population. The final protocol of the study has been approved by the ethics committee/Institutional Review Board (EC/IRB) of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre (Madrid, Spain) (EC/IRB number: 25/226). The results will be disseminated through scientific publications, including manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international congresses. NCT07013760.\n\nID: 42370849\nTitle: Increased induced sputum ITGB5 expression was correlated with airway inflammation and lung function in asthma.\nAbstract: ITGB5 encodes integrin subunit beta 5 of that has been implicated in the eosinophilic asthma phenotype. However, the secretory profile of ITGB5 in induced sputum and its clinical significance in asthma remains poorly understood. This study aimed to measure ITGB5 levels in induced sputum supernatant from asthma patients and investigate its potential clinical implications. We enrolled 78 participants (18 healthy controls and 60 asthma patients) and quantified ITGB5 protein levels in induced sputum supernatant using ELISA. Correlations between ITGB5 and inflammatory markers, as well as airway obstruction parameters, were analyzed. Subsequently, we performed comparative analyses to evaluate variations in inflammatory cytokines between high- and low-ITGB5 expression subgroups. Induced sputum ITGB5 levels were significantly elevated in asthma patients and markedly increased following inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. ITGB5 levels showed positive correlations with Th2-associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP) and Th2 signature genes (SERPINB2, CLCA1, and POSTN). Notably, IL-5, FeNO, and POSTN were significantly higher in the high-ITGB5(n\u2009=\u200930) than the low- ITGB5 (n\u2009=\u200930) expression group. Furthermore, sputum ITGB5 levels were inversely associated with pulmonary function (FEV1% pred, FVC% pred, MEF% pred, MEF25% pred and MEF50% pred). Increased sputum ITGB5 in asthma was positively associated with inflammatory mediators and negatively correlated with pulmonary function, suggesting that ITGB5 upregulation may be involved in airway inflammation and obstruction in asthma pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42364850\nTitle: Biomarkers for COPD with Type 2 Inflammation.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disease traditionally characterized by neutrophilic inflammation. However, a distinct Type 2 (T2) inflammatory endotype is present in 20-40% of patients. This review examines the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of T2 inflammation in COPD, focusing on established and emerging biomarkers to identify this treatable trait and guide targeted therapies. Orchestrated by Th2 cells and innate lymphoid cells, T2 inflammation involves signature cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which drive eosinophilic tissue infiltration, mucus hypersecretion, airway hyperreactivity, and accelerated remodeling. These processes correlate with increased exacerbation risk and more rapid lung function decline. Blood eosinophil count (BEC) is the most validated and accessible biomarker, with established thresholds guiding the use of inhaled corticosteroids and biologics. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and serum IgE offer complementary predictive value, and combining biomarkers may enhance the identification of responders to specific targeted agents. Clinical trials of biologics, such as dupilumab and mepolizumab, have validated the therapeutic potential of targeting T2 pathways in selected populations, though variable success with other agents highlights unique aspects of COPD pathophysiology and persistent knowledge gaps. Precision medicine, informed by a nuanced interpretation of reliable T2 biomarkers, is crucial for optimizing outcomes in this significant patient subgroup.\n\nID: 42361797\nTitle: Iron drives protease-independent cleavage of gasdermin D in allergic airway diseases.\nAbstract: Gasdermin D (GSDMD)-mediated interleukin (IL)-33 secretion by lung epithelial cells initiates airway inflammation upon allergen challenge. How environmental allergens activate GSDMD remains elusive. Here, we demonstrate that exposing epithelial cells to allergens triggers protease-activated receptor 1 (PAR1)-dependent ferritinophagy, elevating intracellular labile iron. This iron pool is essential for noncanonical, protease-independent GSDMD activation. The iron chaperone poly(rC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2) delivers iron directly to GSDMD, initiating a highly localized Fenton reaction. This generates constrained hydroxyl radicals that cleave GSDMD, releasing the active N-terminal p40 fragment to form pores for IL-33 release. Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Our findings reveal an unconventional, iron-catalyzed, and protease-independent mechanism for GSDMD activation, offering potential new therapeutic targets for allergic inflammatory diseases.\n\nID: 42345643\nTitle: Reticular Basement Membrane Remodelling Regulates Bronchial Epithelial Attachment, Barrier Integrity and Inflammatory Signalling in Asthma.\nAbstract: Asthma is characterized by persistent airway epithelial dysfunction and remodelling of the reticular basement membrane (RBM). In healthy airways, the RBM is primarily composed of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins laminin and collagen-IV, but in remodelled asthmatic airways, the RBM has increased deposition of collagen-I, -III and fibronectin. Here, we systematically compared the effects of collagen-I, -III, -IV, fibronectin, laminin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) control on bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) from six healthy controls and seven individuals with asthma. Epithelial attachment, spreading and barrier function were assessed in real time over 72 h using electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing. Cell culture supernatants were analyzed for release of epithelial cytokines, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-11 using ELISA. BECs from both control and asthma donors had faster cell attachment, spreading, and barrier formation on collagen-I, -III, -IV, and fibronectin compared to laminin and BSA. BECs from both control and asthma donors cultured on collagen -I and -III produced more TSLP, but had no effect on IL-6, IL-8, and IL-11 expression. In summary, remodelling of the RBM in asthma may promote epithelial barrier formation whilst simultaneously enhancing epithelial-derived Th2 inflammation through increased TSLP release.\n\nID: 42329842\nTitle: Gingival Fibroblast-Driven Osteoimmunology via the IL-33-ILC2-IL-13 Axis.\nAbstract: Tooth extraction is a fundamental dental intervention for managing oral infections; however, the resulting tooth loss is associated with systemic health risks, including cognitive decline and increased mortality. Alveolar bone resorption following tooth extraction significantly alters jaw morphology, complicating subsequent functional rehabilitation. Despite its clinical significance, the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing bone regeneration within extraction sockets remain poorly understood. Here, we identified group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) as pivotal regulators of alveolar bone regeneration following tooth extraction. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry, we demonstrated that ILC2s accumulate and persist within extraction sockets beyond the acute inflammatory phase. Genetic lymphocyte ablation revealed that loss of all ILCs severely impairs bone formation, highlighting their essential role in socket regeneration. Following tooth extraction, ILC2s exhibited increased interleukin (IL)-13 production and promoted bone formation via IL-13-mediated activation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing and histological analyses suggested that gingival fibroblasts are a major source of IL-33 in extraction sockets during mucosal healing. IL-33 activated ILC2s, increasing IL-13 production and promoting osteogenesis, whereas IL-33 neutralization suppressed ILC2 activation and impaired socket bone regeneration. Collectively, these findings suggest that the gingival fibroblast-IL-33-ILC2-IL-13 axis may contribute to the regulation of alveolar bone regeneration following tooth extraction. This study provides a biological basis for developing novel therapeutic strategies to optimize postextraction bone preservation.\n\nID: 42314770\nTitle: Redox-sensitive GPCR signaling drives Gq-dependent Ca2+ mobilization and cytokine production in human bronchial epithelial cells.\nAbstract: Organic dust (OD) from animal production facilities contains a complex mixture of microbial products, metabolites, and particulates that engage airway epithelial signaling pathways. Here we investigated the mechanisms by which OD extract (ODE) activates immune signaling pathways in human bronchial epithelial cells. ODE rapidly stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and a biphasic increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), consisting of an early transient peak followed by a smaller sustained phase. Antioxidant scavenger pretreatment (glutathione, N-acetyl-cysteine) markedly attenuated both ROS production and Ca2+ mobilization, whereas induction of endogenous antioxidant defenses with bardoxolone abolished the response, indicating redox sensitivity. Pharmacologic inhibition of Gq\u03b1 with YM-254890 suppressed both phases of the Ca2+ response, implicating Gq-coupled receptor activation. Consistent with an autocrine amplification mechanism, selective antagonists of histamine (H1), cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT1 and CysLT2), leukotriene B4 (BLT1), and prostaglandin receptors (EP1) each reduced ODE-evoked Ca2+ mobilization. In parallel, inhibitors of histidine decarboxylase, 5-lipoxygenase, and cyclooxygenases (COX-1/COX-2) attenuated Ca2+ signaling, supporting rapid endogenous ligand production and secretion. Downstream of Ca2+ mobilization, ODE activated protein kinase C alpha/beta (PKC\u03b1/\u03b2) and protein kinase C delta (PKC\u03b4) and induced robust transcription of proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine mRNAs (IL1\u03b2, IL6, IL8, IL33, TNF\u03b1) within 2 h of exposure. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed increased secretion of IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-33, with differential sensitivity to PKC isoforms and NF-\u03baB inhibition. These findings identify a redox-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)\u00a0network that amplifies Gq-dependent Ca2+ signaling in airway epithelial cells and provides a mechanistic framework for epithelial inflammatory activation following ROS-inducing environmental exposures.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study investigates how agricultural organic dust promotes airway inflammation. We show that organic dust extract rapidly induces ROS production along with a biphasic Ca2+ response through a redox-sensitive, Gq-coupled G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)\u00a0network involving histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. This signaling cascade activates PKC isoforms that trigger production and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, linking oxidative stress to Ca2+-dependent inflammatory responses by the airway epithelium following organic dust exposure.\n\nID: 42307017\nTitle: Spatial and Phenotypic Heterogeneity of ILC Subsets in Mouse Lung Under Type 2 Inflammatory Conditions.\nAbstract: As key regulators of mucosal immunity, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are involved in tissue homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Studying ILCs within their native microenvironment remains challenging due to the low abundance of these tissue-resident immune cells. Here, we applied cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence, namely multiepitope ligand cartography (MELC), in a systemic IL-33-induced type 2 inflammation model to spatio-temporally characterize ILC phenotype and localization in mouse lungs. Niche analysis with all identified cell types resulted in four distinct niches and an expansion of a mixed B and Plasma cell (BPC)/blood endothelial cell (BEC) niche, while the niche predominated by blood endothelial cells decreased at IL-33 day 3. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation. ILC2s were in direct contact with activated alveolar macrophages and lymphatics. While they expressed ICOS under homeostatic conditions, pronounced expression of MHCII at days 1 and 3 of IL-33 stimulation was observed. Unlike ILC2s, NK\u00a0cells/ILC1s were coenriched near blood\u00a0vessels, next to B\u00a0cells\u00a0and plasma cells. Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatial multiplex imaging for dissecting rare immune cell localization and phenotypes and uncover dynamic, tissue-specific remodeling of ILC niches during early type 2 inflammation.\n\nID: 42285363\nTitle: Is an inhaled biologic a better approach to treat asthma?\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42256021\nTitle: Subcutaneous immunotherapy-induced IgG1 suppresses allergic airway inflammation through Fc\u03b3RIIb-mediated inhibition of group 2 innate lymphoid cell proliferation.\nAbstract: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), a form of allergy immunotherapy, can alter the natural course of allergic diseases and induce tolerance to causative allergens by modulating type 2 immune responses. While the regulatory effects of SCIT on Th2 cells have been extensively studied, its effects on group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) remain poorly understood. In a murine model of asthma, we demonstrated that SCIT increased the production of allergen-specific IgG1, which is analogous to human IgG4. To clarify the role of IgG1 in the mechanisms underlying SCIT, we evaluated its effects on the development of allergic asthma and the proliferation of ILC2s. BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) and Al(OH)3, followed by SCIT consisting of 3 subcutaneous OVA injections at a dose of 1 mg/animal. After SCIT, sera were collected, and total IgG1 was purified using the pH-gradient elution method. ILC2s were isolated from the lungs of OVA-challenged mice and stimulated with IL-33 in the presence of OVA and the purified IgG1 for 72 h, after which cell proliferation was assessed using an ATP assay. For in vivo experiments, the purified IgG1 was intratracheally administered to OVA-challenged asthmatic mice, and airway remodeling and lung leukocyte populations were subsequently analyzed. Animal experiments were approved by the Experimental Animal Research Committee of Setsunan University (approval Nos. K21-1, K22-1, K23-1, K24-1, and K25-1) and conducted in accordance with the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines. (1) IgG1+ B cells were markedly increased in the lungs of SCIT-treated asthmatic mice (p = 0.0409) and were the most abundant among the 4 IgG+ B-cell subsets. (2) Intratracheal administration of IgG1 derived from SCIT mice (SCIT-IgG1) significantly suppressed epithelial thickening and mucus accumulation, and reduced the numbers of lung ILC2s and eosinophils in the asthma model (p = 0.0034, 0.0341, 0.0246, and 0.0041, respectively). (3) Fc\u03b3RIIb expression on lung ILC2s derived from asthmatic mice was significantly increased (p = 0.0004). (4) SCIT-IgG1 significantly suppressed OVA and IL-33-induced in vitro proliferation of ILC2s (p = 0.0018), and this inhibitory effect disappeared in the presence of an anti-Fc\u03b3RIIb antibody. SCIT-IgG1 attenuates airway remodeling and limits ILC2 expansion in allergic airway inflammation. Mechanistically, SCIT-IgG1 restrains ILC2 proliferation via Fc\u03b3RIIb engagement, revealing an antibody-ILC2 inhibitory axis that likely contributes to the efficacy of allergy immunotherapy and suggests therapeutic strategies that enhance inhibitory Fc\u03b3R signaling to control type 2 inflammation.\n\nID: 42247295\nTitle: IL-33/TGF-\u03b2/IL-4-induced bone marrow-derived DC9 subset promotes Th9 differentiation and allergic airway inflammation.\nAbstract: Dendritic cells (DCs) are professional antigen-presenting cells that exhibit significant heterogeneity in development and function. This study found that among 17 cytokines screened, only IL-33 could induce DCs to display a Th9-type cytokine profile, including IL-9, IL-4, and IL-13, in vitro. The response of DCs to IL-33 was synergistically enhanced by TGF-\u03b2 and IL-4, defining a distinct subset termed DC9. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that DC9 possesses a unique gene expression signature, particularly in cytokine/chemokine clusters, compared to conventional DCs. Mechanistically, DC9 polarization depends on the JAK-STAT6-IRF4 signaling pathway. Functionally, DC9 preferentially drives naive CD4+ T cell differentiation toward Th9 cells in vitro. In an ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammatory mouse model, DC9 cells were detectable in lungs and adoptive transfer of DC9 exacerbated disease severity, and increased pulmonary Th9 cells. Collectively, we identify DC9 as a novel DC subset induced by IL-33/TGF-\u03b2/IL-4 through the JAK-STAT6-IRF4 axis, which promotes Th9 differentiation and aggravates allergic airway inflammation.\n\nID: 42231621\nTitle: 17,18-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid and its metabolite attenuate IL-33-induced airway inflammation involving group 2 innate lymphoid cells.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) play critical roles in type 2 airway inflammation. 17,18-epoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (17,18-EpETE), an eicosapentaenoic acid metabolite, is generated from dietary omega-3 fatty acids, and may have anti-inflammatory activities. We evaluated the effect of 17,18-EpETE and its metabolite, 17,18-dihydroxy-eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid (17,18-diHETE), on IL-33-induced airway inflammation involving ILC2s. We evaluated the in vitro effects of 17,18-EpETE and 17,18-diHETE on the IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 by human ILC2s (isolated from peripheral blood) using ELISA. Expression of the corresponding fatty acid receptors and the GATA-3 transcription factor were examined using flow cytometry and quantitative RT-PCR. Additionally, we examined the in vivo effects of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE in a mouse model of type 2 airway inflammation induced by intranasal (i.n.) instillation of IL-33. 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE inhibited IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13, and IL-33-induced expression of GATA-3 in human ILC2s. GW1100, an antagonist of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40, or GW9662, an antagonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), counteracted the inhibitory effects of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE on the IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 by ILC2s. I.n. administration of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE attenuated IL-33-induced eosinophil infiltration and mucus production in mouse nasal mucosa, and production of IL-5 and IL-13 in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The present study demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of 17,18-EpETE and 17,18-diHETE on IL-33-induced airway inflammation involving ILC2s. I.n. administration of 17,18-EpETE may be a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of intractable type 2 airway inflammation.\n\nID: 42226044\nTitle: MyD88 mediates allergic airway inflammation by regulating ILC2s function through inducing the formation of P38/GATA3 complex.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma stands as the predominant asthma phenotype propelled by aberrant type 2 immune response. Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma.\n\nID: 42223828\nTitle: Targeting Type 2 and Non-type 2 Asthma: Emerging Biologics and Personalized Strategies.\nAbstract: Asthma continues to pose a serious global health issue affecting billions of people and causing significant morbidity. It is immunologically heterogeneous disease, classified as Type 2 (Th2/ILC2-mediated, eosinophilic) or Type 1 (Th1-mediated, neutrophilic, steroid-resistant) inflammation. This review aims to evaluates current biologic therapies, emerging strategies, and challenges in asthma management and highlights the challenges and future directions in personalized asthma management. Current biologics for Type 2 asthma like anti-IgE (omalizumab), anti-IL-5 (mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab), anti-IL-4/IL-13 (dupilumab) and anti-TSLP (tezepelumab) were effectively controlling severe eosinophilic asthma. Emerging therapies for Type 1 and mixed phenotypes include anti-TNF-\u03b1 agents, CXCR2 antagonists, IL-17 blockers, JAK-STAT inhibitors and microbiome-based approaches and upstream epithelial cytokine-targeting therapies such as anti-TSLP agents. Dual or broad-spectrum strategies, such as bispecific antibodies and endotype-guided biologic selection offer more targeted interventions. Despite these advances, challenges persist regarding high costs, limited accessibility, absence of robust biomarkers, and potential risks of immunosuppression. Biologics have transformed severe Type 2 asthma management, but effective treatments for Type 1 and steroid-resistant asthma remain limited. Future directions involve multi-omics, machine learning and gene therapy to optimize personalized therapy and develop inclusive strategies for the diverse inflammatory endotypes.\n\nID: 42222524\nTitle: A Multi-Compartment Cytological Approach to Severe Asthma Phenotyping: The BRISA Study (Biomedical Research in Severe Asthma).\nAbstract: Accurate inflammatory phenotyping in asthma remains challenging. Nasal cytology has emerged as a potential non-invasive tool to assess airway inflammation in asthma. However, its relationship with lower airway inflammation and systemic biomarkers remains unclear, particularly in severe asthma (SA). To evaluate whether a multi-compartment approach could improve the characterisation of type 2 inflammation and the relationship between nasal cytology, induced sputum, and systemic inflammatory biomarkers in patients with severe asthma. In this cross-sectional exploratory BRISA study, twenty-two patients with SA underwent nasal cytology by mucosal scraping, induced sputum analysis, and serum biomarker assessment (periostin, eosinophil cationic protein, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4, and total IgE). Patients were stratified according to blood eosinophil count (BEC <300 vs \u2265300 cells/\u00b5L). Correlations between compartments and associations with clinical and inflammatory variables were analysed. Higher blood eosinophil counts were associated with worse lung function, increased exacerbations, and higher serum periostin levels. Valid induced sputum samples were obtained in 16 patients: 7 eosinophilic, 3 neutrophilic, 2 mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic and 4 paucigranulocytic. Nasal cytology predominantly showed limited agreement with induced sputum inflammatory phenotypes. Serum TSLP, DPP4, and IgE also showed an upward trend in patients with higher blood eosinophil counts, although these differences were not statistically significant. Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive association between sputum and blood eosinophils, as well as between blood eosinophils and serum periostin. A strong positive correlation was also observed between serum eotaxin and TSLP. Nasal cytology alone cannot replace induced sputum for inflammatory phenotyping in SA, although it may provide complementary information on upper airway inflammation. Among the evaluated systemic biomarkers, periostin emerged as the most consistent marker associated with blood eosinophilia, while other biomarkers showed only non-significant trends. Further studies are needed to validate the role of combined biomarkers in predicting airway inflammation.\n\nID: 42193352\nTitle: Th9 and IL9 in Chronic Superior Airway Inflammation: A Narrative Review.\nAbstract: Inflammation at the superior airway level has multiple manifestations, and allergic rhinitis and chronic rhinosinusitis with or without polyps are two of the most frequent and troublesome of them, with innate and adaptive immunity being implicated. Dendritic cells, epithelial cells, neutrophils, macrophages, mucosal mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and NK cells are the players in innate immunity, while regulatory T (Treg), TH1, TH2, TH17, T follicular helper, and B cells are components of the adaptative immune system. Th9 cells, a subset of T helper cells discovered in 2008 that produce interleukin-9 (IL-9), play a vital role in the adaptive immune response and have advantageous and harmful effects in different diseases due to the induction pattern. We queried international databases for current, up-to-date information regarding the interplay between interleukin 9 (IL-9) and helper T cells (especially Th9 cells), and by other immune cells. Interleukin-9 has multiple immunological functions, acting on various target cells through its specific receptor (IL-9R), such as the following: the regulation of allergic (Th2-type) immune responses; effects on epithelial and mucosal cells, mast cells, and eosinophils; chronic inflammation; and autoimmunity. Thus, there is a further need to translate laboratory findings into clinical practice regarding IL-9.\n\nID: 42405352\nTitle: AI-based prediction of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease using nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles.\nAbstract: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a distinct asthma endotype marked by asthma, nasal polyposis, and respiratory reactions to COX-1 inhibitors. Early and accurate identification of AERD remains clinically challenging. We sought to develop and externally validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model that uses nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles to accurately identify AERD. mRNA gene expression profiles were obtained from nasal epithelial brushing in 71 subjects with AERD and 57 without AERD. AI models were trained to predict an AERD diagnosis in a training cohort using gene expression alone, which was then validated on an independent validation cohort. The clinical data analysis revealed noteworthy findings of AERD: 29% reported cutaneous manifestations during nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reactions, 50% experienced symptoms related to alcohol consumption, and 59% required 2 or more sinus surgeries. AERD was predicted with an accuracy of 93% in the training cohort and 83% in the independent validation cohort. The top AERD-predicting genes included IL1RL1 (IL-33 receptor) and CLC (Charcot-Leyden crystal protein), which are known to be important to AERD pathogenesis. Nasal transcriptomics can predict AERD diagnosis accurately and may improve disease understanding, enabling earlier and more precise endotype-based diagnosis and management.\n\nID: 42380489\nTitle: A novel drug series optimized to address cystic fibrosis and other CFTR deficiency diseases of human airways.\nAbstract: Pharmacologic activation of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) has transformed cystic fibrosis (CF) therapy. Other, more common airway diseases can also be associated with CFTR deficiency. For example, individuals with one dysfunctional CFTR variant (i.e., CF carriers), as well as those with acquired CFTR deficiency, are predisposed to both non-CF bronchiectasis and chronic rhinosinusitis, raising the possibility that CFTR stimulation in these settings could provide clinical improvement. This study describes a new triazolo-thiadiazine-based compound series optimized to augment mutant and wildtype CFTR function when administered topically to airway epithelium. Mechanism of action appears attributable-at least in part-to phosphodiesterase 4 inhibition (PDE4i), with effects on other PDEs also noted. Together with a growing body of previous and emerging evidence, our results suggest a novel therapeutic strategy for treating people with CF (PwCF) who lack access to effective modulator therapy-and addressing common diseases such as chronic bronchiectasis and rhinosinusitis in the non-CF population.\n\nID: 42324975\nTitle: Adhesion molecules and T cell imbalance in severe eosinophilic asthma: Insights from anti-IL-5R treatment.\nAbstract: Severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) is driven by type 2 (T2) inflammation, characterised by dysregulated cytokine release and aberrant expression of adhesion molecules involved in immune cell trafficking and activation. Despite the established role of intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) and L-selectin (CD62L) in these processes, their dysregulation in SEA and their potential remodulation in response to biologic therapy remain unclear.To investigate the expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ICAM-3, CD62L) on T-cell subsets in SEA, their modulation by IL-25 and IL-33, and the immunological impact of benralizumab therapy. Peripheral blood from SEA patients and healthy controls were analysed using flow cytometry and live-cell imaging. A subset of patients was re-evaluated after 6\u2009months of benralizumab therapy to assess changes in T-cell phenotype, adhesion molecule expression, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. At baseline, SEA patients exhibited a marked Treg/Th2 imbalance, with increased ICAM-1 and CD62L expression on effector T cells and reduced ICAM-3 on Tregs. Alarmin stimulation enhanced ICAM-1 and CD62L expression on Th2 and Treg subsets and increased T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. After benralizumab therapy, Treg levels increased, and effector T-cell expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-3, and CD62L was significantly downregulated upon alarmin stimulation, suggesting a restoration of immune homoeostasis. SEA is associated with alarmin-driven dysregulation of adhesion molecule expression on T cells. Treatment with benralizumab induces an at least partial immunological rebalancing by indirectly modulating T-cell responses to epithelial-derived signals.\n\nID: 42310240\nTitle: Downregulation of Lonp1 Promotes Melanocyte Pyroptosis via Suppressing Mitophagy and Activating NLRP3 Pathway in Vitiligo under Oxidative Stress.\nAbstract: Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by the loss of epidermal melanocytes. Oxidative stress serves as a key initiating factor in its pathogenesis. Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, perform multiple essential functions in eukaryotic cells and participate in melanocyte physiological processes. Lonp1 is a crucial mitochondrial matrix soluble protease involved in maintaining mtDNA stability, clearing aberrant proteins, and regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. Meanwhile, mitophagy serves as a crucial function within the mitochondrial quality control system, responsible for eliminating damaged mitochondria. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death mediated by inflammasomes, accompanied by cell membrane pore formation and the release of inflammatory cytokines. This study confirmed that oxidative stress was associated with decreased Lonp1 in PIG1 cells, the human melanocyte line. This downregulation impairs mitochondrial homeostasis by suppressing the expression of PINK1, a key mitophagy-related protein, ultimately leading to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, release of IL-1\u03b2, and induction of melanocyte pyroptosis.\n\nID: 42304287\nTitle: Predictive value of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid interleukin-25, interleukin-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin levels for asthma development in children with recurrent wheezing.\nAbstract: To investigate the predictive value of interleukin-25 (IL-25), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) levels in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) for the development of asthma in children under 6 years of age with recurrent wheezing. A prospective cohort study was conducted from May 1 to September 30, 2024. Fifty children under 6 years of age with recurrent wheezing were enrolled as the wheezing group from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, while 51 age-matched children with bronchial foreign bodies were recruited as controls during the same period. Levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Children in the wheezing group were followed for one year and were subsequently categorized into an asthma group or a non-asthma group based on the follow-up outcomes. Integrating these clinical data with BALF cytokine levels, we constructed a predictive model for asthma development using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the wheezing group and the control group in terms of clinical characteristics (the number of wheezing episodes, age, history of allergy, breastfeeding), peripheral blood eosinophil count, BALF parameters (nucleated cells, red blood cells, neutrophils, macrophages), and cytokine levels (IL-25, IL-33, TSLP) (P\u2009<\u20090.05). Of the 47 children in the wheezing group who completed the follow-up, 17 were diagnosed with asthma (asthma group) and 30 did not develop asthma (non-asthma group). Univariable analysis revealed significant differences between these two groups in terms of age, the number of wheezing episodes, levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF (P\u2009<\u20090.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that these factors were significant predictors for the progression to asthma in children with recurrent wheezing (P\u2009<\u20090.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combination of the number of wheezing episodes with IL-25, IL-33, or TSLP levels yielded higher predictive values, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.788-1.000), 0.946 (95% CI: 0.855-1.000), and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.698-1.000), respectively. These were superior to predictions based on wheezing episodes alone (AUC: 0.705) or individual cytokine levels (IL-25 AUC: 0.779; IL-33 AUC: 0.857; TSLP AUC: 0.841). In children under 6 years with recurrent wheezing, the levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF are elevated and hold predictive value for the subsequent development of asthma, providing a reference for the early clinical identification of at-risk children.\n\nID: 42278883\nTitle: Nasal Epithelial Organoids as Translational Platforms in Inflammatory, Infectious, and Precision Medicine Applications: A Systematic Review.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: The airway epithelium plays a central role in host defense, inflammatory signaling, and disease progression across infectious, inflammatory, and genetic respiratory disorders. Human nasal epithelial organoids have emerged as accessible and patient-specific in vitro platforms with increasing translational relevance. This systematic review aimed to critically evaluate the current evidence on nasal epithelial organoid models, focusing on donor characteristics, culture methodologies, differentiation strategies, and translational applications. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies published between 1990 and April 2026. The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was structured according to the PICOTS framework. Eligible studies included in vitro experimental investigations using human-derived nasal epithelial organoids in infectious, inflammatory, or precision medicine contexts. Risk of bias was assessed using the QUIN tool. Results: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Applications clustered into three principal domains: infectious disease modeling, inflammatory and epithelial remodeling research, and cystic fibrosis precision medicine. Most studies employed expandable three-dimensional Matrigel-embedded organoids or organoid-derived air-liquid interface systems. Infection-focused studies demonstrated variant-specific viral replication dynamics and epithelial immune responses, while inflammatory models reproduced disease-associated differentiation and remodeling phenotypes. Cystic fibrosis oriented studies showed that organoid swelling and electrophysiological assays correlate with CFTR functional rescue and, in selected cases, clinical response. Methodological heterogeneity across protocols and outcome reporting precluded quantitative synthesis. Conclusions: Human nasal epithelial organoids represent versatile translational platforms bridging accessible patient-derived tissue and advanced airway disease modeling. Although variability in culture protocols and functional benchmarks limits standardization, these models hold significant promise for mechanistic investigation, therapeutic stratification, and precision medicine applications.\n\nID: 42253476\nTitle: Airway epithelial dysfunction in asthma pathogenesis: epigenetic mechanisms, inflammatory crosstalk, and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide and remains incompletely explained by the traditional T cell-centric immunological model, which offers incomplete mechanistic explanations for disease chronicity, recurrence during clinical remission, and the poor treatment response observed in T2-low phenotypes. Emerging evidence positions the airway epithelium as a central organizer of asthma pathogenesis rather than a passive barrier. This review proposes a unifying framework in which airway epithelial dysfunction and epigenetic memory drive the persistent and relapse-prone nature of asthmatic airways. We first examine how structural barrier defects-including tight junction dysfunction mediated by claudin-18 and E-cadherin loss-initiate and amplify type 2 inflammation through alarmin release (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25) and ILC2 activation. We then review how environmental exposures and inflammatory signals, particularly IL-13, induce durable epigenetic reprogramming of airway epithelial cells through DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, establishing molecular imprints that persist beyond the resolution of acute inflammation. Special attention is given to basal progenitor cells as repositories of allergic epigenetic memory, and to the concept of trained innate immunity as a mechanism underlying chronic airway hyperresponsiveness. We further contrast the epigenetic landscapes of T2-high and T2-low asthma, identifying the latter as a critical unmet need for biomarker and therapeutic development. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including HDAC inhibitors, miRNA-based therapies, and the potential of anti-alarmin biologics (tezepelumab, itepekimab) and downstream cytokine receptor antagonists (dupilumab) to partially restore epithelial function and progenitor states. We acknowledge that, given current data availability, this review is weighted toward T2-high (eosinophilic) endotypes; mechanistic characterization of T2-low asthma remains an important area for future investigation. This framework reconceptualizes asthma not only as a disorder of dysregulated immunity, but as a disease of maladaptively reprogrammed barrier tissue, with important implications for disease prevention, endotype-specific treatment, and the goal of achieving true biological remission.\n\nID: 42193381\nTitle: From Inflammation to Precision Medicine: Mechanistic Insights into Asthma, COPD, and IPF.\nAbstract: Asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are major non-communicable respiratory diseases (NCD-RDs) with high morbidity and mortality. Despite distinct clinical features, they share overlapping mechanisms including oxidative stress, epithelial injury, and immune dysregulation. Asthma is mainly driven by type 2 inflammation, with IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 inducing eosinophilia, IgE production, mucus hypersecretion, and airway remodeling. Biologics targeting IgE, IL-5, and IL-4R\u03b1 have transformed treatment, and agents directed against TSLP and IL-33 further extend the range of targeted interventions. In contrast, COPD involves chronic inflammation with macrophages, neutrophils, and CD8+ T cells, persisting after smoking cessation. Advances include biologics such as dupilumab and benralizumab in eosinophilic COPD, and novel inhaled therapies such as ensifentrine, the first dual PDE3/4 inhibitor delivered via inhalation. IPF, on the other hand, arises from defective epithelial repair and fibroblast activation, causing progressive fibrosis. Approved antifibrotics (nintedanib, pirfenidone) slow lung function decline, while new strategies target TGF-\u03b2, CTGF, and fibroblast-directed pathways. Across these diseases, biomarkers and the treatable traits framework are reshaping precision care. Personalized approaches integrating biomarkers, omics, and targeted therapies represent the most promising path for improved outcomes.\n\nID: 42448002\nTitle: The PEACE-24 Study: Tezepelumab Improves Functional Exercise Capacity and Asthma Control in Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Tezepelumab is effective in improving disease control and reducing exacerbations, regardless of the T2 inflammatory profile 1-5. With its ability to mitigate bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion, improve respiratory function, and modulate the inflammatory response 1,6,7, this drug could play a role in increasing exercise tolerance. Our study aims to evaluate the improvement in exercise tolerance, a less-explored aspect, in patients treated with Tezepelumab using the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Patients treated with Tezepelumab at Respiratory and Allergy Clinic of Genoa Metropolitan Hospital were included in the study. Patients were assessed at baseline and at 24 weeks using spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide measurement, asthma control and quality of life questionnaires (ACT, AQLQ, SNOT22, RAPP), and 6MWT. Pre- and post-treatment data were analyzed using the paired samples t-test and Spearman's correlation. After 24 weeks, a significant improvement was observed in the distance covered in the 6MWT, both in absolute terms (409m vs. 478m, p=0.031) and in terms of % of the predicted theoretical value (73% vs. 82%, p=0.034), with improvement in pre-test dyspnea (Borg 3.55 vs. 1.47, p=0.002) and the average score of the domains related to physical exercise in the AQLQ questionnaire (4.24 vs. 5.80, p=0.01). There was also a positive correlation between improvement in FEV1 and distance covered (\u03c1=0.658, p=0.028). Tezepelumab, with its effects, increases exercise tolerance in patients with severe asthma, highlighting this as a potentially treatable trait to consider in the management of such patients.\n\nID: 42445462\nTitle: Tezepelumab attenuates exertional symptom burden in severe asthma: insights from a real-world cohort.\nAbstract: Exertional symptom burden is an important yet insufficiently characterised component of morbidity in severe asthma. Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), reduces exacerbations and improves asthma control across phenotypes, but its effects on patient-reported exertional symptoms and physical activity limitation remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective study in 24 adults with severe asthma initiating tezepelumab per GINA criteria. The 6-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6), Asthma Control Test (ACT), and mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) were administered at baseline and at 3 (n\u2009=\u200924), 6 (n\u2009=\u200920), and 12 months (n\u2009=\u200916). Pre-specified exercise-related items were analysed alongside total scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. At baseline, patients had poorly controlled asthma (median ACQ-6 3.50/6, ACT 11/25, miniAQLQ 3.53/6) and moderate-to-severe airflow limitation (median FEV\u2081 57% predicted). Total scores improved progressively over 12 months, with changes at months 6 and 12 exceeding the respective minimal clinically important differences. Exertion-related items showed consistent improvements at least as pronounced as total score changes. The largest improvements were in strenuous activity limitation (miniAQLQ Q12: median change +2.0, p\u2009=\u20090.006) and overall activity limitation (ACQ-6 Q3: median change -2.5, p\u2009=\u20090.008). In severe asthma, Tezepelumab is associated with progressive attenuation of exertional symptoms over 12 months of real-world treatment. These associative findings are consistent with mechanistic data and support further prospective studies.\n\nID: 42419394\nTitle: New Pharmaceutical Options for Patients with Allergic and Asthma-Related Diseases: Balancing Effectiveness and Safety in Selection of Specific Therapies.\nAbstract: Targeted immunotherapies have expanded treatment options for allergic and immunologic diseases by enabling selective modulation of key inflammatory pathways. However, their growing use necessitates careful evaluation of safety profiles and long-term risks. This review examines the mechanisms of action, safety considerations, and clinical implications of emerging monoclonal antibody and small-molecule therapies used in allergic and immunologic diseases. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE, IL-5/IL-5R\u03b1, IL-4R\u03b1, IL-13, TSLP, and IL-31 demonstrate efficacy across a range of atopic conditions, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. They are generally well tolerated, though associated with adverse events such as anaphylaxis, conjunctivitis, eosinophilia, and herpes virus reactivation. Small-molecule therapies, including Janus kinase (JAK), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors, expand treatment options by targeting intracellular signaling pathways and offering broader immunomodulatory effects. Among these, JAK inhibitors carry boxed warnings for major adverse cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancy, and viral reactivation. Second-generation BTK inhibitors and PDE4 inhibitors demonstrate comparatively favorable safety profiles, though tolerability could remain an issue for PDE4 inhibitors. Despite promising short-term safety and efficacy, long-term risks still pose a question given limited longitudinal data. The increasing complexity of therapeutic selection, underscores the need for shared decision-making and long term surveillance to ensure successful therapeutic outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.\n\nID: 42388935\nTitle: A Narrative Review of Biologic Therapies for Type 2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma and Eosinophilic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Safety.\nAbstract: Severe asthma affects a minority of patients but accounts for disproportionate morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The development of targeted biologic therapies has revolutionized treatment, offering precision medicine approaches based on underlying inflammatory endotypes. Currently approved biologics target immunoglobulin E (omalizumab), interleukin (IL)-5 or its receptor (mepolizumab, reslizumab, depemokimab, and benralizumab), IL-4 receptor \u03b1 (dupilumab), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (tezepelumab). These agents have demonstrated substantial reductions in exacerbation rates, improved lung function, corticosteroid-sparing effects, and enhanced quality of life across diverse patient populations. This review examines the mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, safety profiles, and optimal patient selection strategies for biologic therapies in severe asthma and eosinophilic COPD.\n\nID: 42356198\nTitle: A Bibliographic Review of Airborne Fungal Allergens from Dominant and Undercharacterized Genera.\nAbstract: Atmospheric fungi represent an important group of allergens with a major impact on public health, especially among sensitized or immunocompromised individuals. This article reviews the ubiquitous fungal taxa in the atmosphere-Alternaria, Cladosporium, Aspergillus, Penicillium-as well as the undercharacterized taxa-Epicoccum, Pithomyces, Torula and Rhodotorula-with an emphasis on the antigenic composition and protein structures involved in type I hypersensitivity reactions. Recent data from the scientific literature (2000-2025) is presented, along with the frequency of spores in the atmosphere and the global distribution of research, highlighted by the analysis of Google Scholar and PubMed results. While Alternaria, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Cladosporium are recognized as major contributors to allergic sensitization worldwide, Epicoccum, Torula, Rhodotorula, and Pithomyces remain relatively undercharacterized, but associated with allergic reactions and cross-reactivity.\n\nID: 42352334\nTitle: Dysregulation of the HSF1-Mediated UPRmt Pathway in Colonic Smooth Muscle Cells Drives Motility Dysfunction in Functional Constipation.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial dysfunction in colonic smooth muscle cells (SMCs) is closely associated with impaired gut motility in functional constipation (FC), but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain incompletely understood. The mitochondrial unfolded protein response (UPRmt) is a critical pathway for maintaining mitochondrial proteostasis, and heat shock factor 1 (HSF1) acts as an important upstream regulator of this response. In the present study, we employed a loperamide-induced FC mouse model, combined with single-cell transcriptomic, molecular, and functional analyses to characterize the HSF1-UPRmt pathway in colonic SMCs and to investigate its role in FC. Single-cell transcriptomic analysis of colon tissue from FC mice revealed marked downregulation of UPRmt-associated genes in colonic SMCs. Immunofluorescence, Western blotting, and RT-qPCR analyses of colonic tissue confirmed that HSF1 expression was reduced in colonic SMCs, along with the downregulation of the UPRmt components, including HSP60, mtHSP70, and LONP1. These molecular changes were accompanied by mitochondrial structural damage, seen by transmission electron microscopy, and by functional impairments, including reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, elevated mtROS production, decreased ATP levels, and diminished activities of respiratory chain complexes I-V. AAV9-mediated overexpression of HSF1 reactivated the UPRmt pathway, improved mitochondrial function, and ameliorated constipation, whereas shRNA-mediated knockdown of HSF1 further suppressed UPRmt activity and aggravated mitochondrial damage, indicating that HSF1 bidirectionally regulates this pathway. Complementary experiments in primary colonic SMCs confirmed that this regulatory mechanism operates in a cell-autonomous manner, as modulation of HSF1 expression produced corresponding changes in the UPRmt pathway, in the expression of mitochondrial respiratory chain complex subunits (ATP5A, NDUFA9, COX1, SDHA, UQCRC1), and in ATP production, mirroring the in vivo findings. Collectively, these results demonstrate that HSF1 plays a pivotal role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis in colonic SMCs through regulation of the UPRmt pathway and that HSF1 dysfunction is closely associated with slowed gut motility in FC. These findings offer a new mechanistic perspective on FC and point to the HSF1-UPRmt axis as a potential therapeutic target.\n\nID: 42323248\nTitle: How to monitor response to biologics in children with severe asthma.\nAbstract: Severe paediatric asthma imposes a substantial health and financial burden. Biologics-monoclonal antibodies targeting specific asthma inflammatory pathways, are transforming severe asthma management. Currently approved biologics for paediatric use (\u22656 or \u226512\u00a0years of age) include anti-immunoglobulin E (omalizumab), anti-interleukin (IL)-5 (mepolizumab), ultra-long acting anti-IL5 (depemokimab), anti-IL-5 receptor (benralizumab), anti-IL4/IL-13 (dupilumab), and anti-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) (tezepelumab). While clinical trials have shown promising results, real-world data on long-term efficacy and safety in children and adolescents remain limited. Moreover, guidelines for initiating, monitoring biologics and assessing treatment response varies across countries lacking consensus. This is the second in a series of narrative reviews on biologics in severe paediatric asthma. The first review summarised key clinical trials findings and offered practical guidance for initiating therapy. In this review, we focus on strategies for monitoring treatment response, the role of asthma biomarkers and the potential of emerging therapies. We also highlight current research gaps and future directions to optimise biologics use in children and adolescents with severe asthma.\n\nID: 42270343\nTitle: [THE ROLE OF TSLP IN THE PATHOGENESIS OF ALLERGIC DISEASES AND FUTURE THERAPEUTIC PERSPECTIVES].\nAbstract: \n\nID: 42445460\nTitle: Routine lipid profiles in allergic disease: a mini review.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases are traditionally interpreted through epithelial barrier dysfunction, type 2 immune activation, and downstream inflammatory mediators, whereas routine serum lipid measures have usually been considered markers of cardiometabolic risk. However, emerging clinical and mechanistic evidence suggests that high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) may provide additional information about systemic inflammatory and metabolic contexts in allergic diseases. This review synthesizes current evidence on routine lipid profiles across asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, with emphasis on their clinical associations, disease-specific differences, and potential immune mechanisms. Asthma currently provides the strongest case for clinical relevance, with lipid abnormalities linked to disease burden, metabolic complexity, and heterogeneous clinical outcomes. In atopic dermatitis, circulating lipid measures appear less central than epidermal barrier lipid abnormalities, although they may still reflect selected metabolic or cardiovascular risk contexts. In allergic rhinitis, clinical associations remain inconsistent, but mechanistic studies suggest that lipoprotein function, particularly HDL-related regulation of eosinophils, antigen-presenting cells, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells, may be biologically relevant. Overall, this review presents routine lipid profiles as accessible contextual markers that may help connect systemic metabolism with allergic immune regulation, refine clinical stratification, and generate hypotheses about lipid-immune crosstalk. Future studies integrating routine lipid panels with functional lipoprotein assays, tissue-level immunology, and longitudinal outcome data are needed to determine whether these measures can become useful tools in allergic disease management.\n\nID: 42397540\nTitle: Postbiotics as Emerging Therapeutics for Allergic Diseases: A Novel Approach Beyond Live Biologics.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies, are characterized by immune dysregulation, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and exaggerated type 2 inflammation. Although current therapeutic strategies have improved disease management, many treatments remain symptomatic, costly, and insufficiently effective in a substantial proportion of patients. Increasing recognition of the gut-immune axis has shifted attention toward microbiome-derived therapeutic approaches. However, safety concerns and inconsistent clinical outcomes associated with live probiotics have accelerated interest in postbiotics, defined as preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their bioactive components that confer health benefits to the host.\u00a0This comprehensive review summarizes current mechanistic, translational, and clinical evidence regarding the role of postbiotics in allergic diseases. Particular emphasis is placed on immunological checkpoints targeted by postbiotic-derived bioactive molecules, including modulation of Th1/Th2 balance, induction of regulatory T cells, restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, regulation of innate lymphoid cells, and systemic immune signaling through the gut-lung and gut-skin axes.\u00a0Accumulating evidence indicates that postbiotics-including short-chain fatty acids, cell wall components, extracellular vesicles, exopolysaccharides, and microbial metabolites-can modulate immune responses independently of microbial viability. Preclinical studies consistently demonstrate that postbiotics restore immune tolerance, attenuate allergic inflammation, and improve epithelial barrier function. Clinical studies, particularly in atopic dermatitis, have shown promising but heterogeneous outcomes, highlighting the need for standardized formulations and biomarker-guided patient stratification.\u00a0Postbiotics represent a mechanistically distinct and potentially safer microbiome-based therapeutic strategy for allergic diseases. Nevertheless, important challenges remain regarding standardization, regulatory harmonization, mechanistic characterization, and long-term clinical validation. Future progress will depend on rigorously designed longitudinal studies, multi-omics integration, and precision medicine approaches to determine whether postbiotics can evolve from adjunctive therapies into disease-modifying interventions.\n\nID: 42309230\nTitle: Common \u03b3-chain cytokines induce an epigenomically plastic precursor-like KIT+ ILC2 state linked to immune disease susceptibility.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are key effector cells of type 2 immunity. A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting a KIT+ ILC2 state remain poorly understood. We defined the molecular basis for the enhanced plasticity of KIT+ ILC2s and identified signals that induce this phenotype, including links with immune disease susceptibility. We combined bulk as well as single-cell transcriptome (RNA sequencing) and epigenome (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) analysis with in vitro culture assays using primary human KIT+ or KITneg ILC2s and multipotent ILC progenitors. Epigenomic data were integrated with genetic risk variants for major human immune diseases. Multiomic analyses revealed that KIT+ ILC2s maintain a unique hybrid character marked by expression and open chromatin of genes linked to both ILC progenitors and ILC2 biology. KIT+ ILC2s showed extensive epigenomic priming at gene loci related to naive lymphocyte biology, tissue homing, and ILC3 effector functions, including IL17 and IL23R-explaining why KIT+ ILC2s are poised to adopt an ILC3-like phenotype. Genetic risk variants for asthma and autoimmunity are enriched in the poised epigenome of KIT+ ILC2s. Common \u03b3-chain cytokines IL-2/IL-7 induced and maintained a KIT+ phenotype in KITneg ILC2s through STAT5 activation. Our study defines KIT+ ILC2s as existing in a developmentally immature state and carrying a precursor-like epigenome that promotes phenotypic plasticity and is linked to immune disease susceptibility. Importantly, we identify STAT5-mediated cytokine signals as candidates for therapeutic targeting of KIT+ ILC2s.\n\nID: 42297305\nTitle: Genome-wide identification and expression profiling analysis of receptor-like cytoplasmic kinase family gene in Pyrus bretschneideri reveals the role of PbrRLCK99 in black spot resistance.\nAbstract: Receptor-like cytoplasmic kinases (RLCKs) are crucial for plant growth, development and stress responses. Despite the economic importance of pear (Pyrus bretschneideri), comprehensive insights into its RLCK gene family remain limited. This study identified 155 PbrRLCKs in the Chinese white pear genome and systematically characterized their phylogenetic relationships, chromosome distribution, conserved motifs and gene structures. Segmental duplication was identified as the primary driver of PbrRLCK family expansion. Promoter analysis revealed numerous cis-acting elements linked to light, hormones, stress and developmental responses. Transcriptome analysis indicated that PbrRLCKs exhibited marked heterogeneity in response to Alternaria alternata infection. Subcellular localization assays revealed that PbrRLCK99 is localized to the plasma membrane. Moreover, functional analysis demonstrated that PbrRLCK99-silenced lines increased susceptibility to A. alternata, along with elevated H2O2 accumulation and decreased activities of defense enzymes including chitinase (CHI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD). Conversely, PbrRLCK99-overexpressing pear callus enhanced resistance, characterized by decreased H2O2 levels, increased activities of PPO and PAL, and upregulation of salicylic acid (SA)-responsive genes (WRKY53 and PAD4) and the defense enzyme gene CHI. These findings provide the first comprehensive genomic overview of RLCK family in pear and establish PbrRLCK99 as a crucial positive regulator in the defense against black spot disease, with its function potentially associated with the SA signaling pathway, offering new insights into the molecular mechanisms of disease resistance in fruit trees.\n\nID: 42292359\nTitle: Innate immune regulation of adaptive immunity: mechanisms, implications, and bias.\nAbstract: Innate immunity is not merely an early defensive system but a key regulator of adaptive immune fate. Through pattern-recognition receptor signaling, antigen presentation, cytokine production, and metabolic-epigenetic reprogramming, innate immune responses shape the strength, duration, and direction of T- and B-cell immunity. This review summarizes how innate immune regulation of adaptive immunity contributes to immune dysregulation in infection, autoimmunity, and allergic disease. We focus on three major mechanisms: remodeling of antigen presentation and costimulation, reshaping of cytokine microenvironments that guide T helper cell polarization, and metabolic-epigenetic programming associated with trained immunity or immune tolerance. We further propose that disease outcomes can be interpreted through three regulatory dimensions of innate immune signaling: insufficient signal strength promotes defective pathogen control and weak adaptive priming; persistent or excessive activation sustains autoimmune inflammation and loss of tolerance; and type 2-biased epithelial-innate signaling drives allergic inflammation through the alarmin-ILC2-Th2-IgE axis. By integrating molecular signaling, innate immune cell crosstalk, metabolic regulation, and epigenetic remodeling, this review provides a concise framework for understanding how innate immune imbalance shapes adaptive immune dysfunction and highlights therapeutic opportunities targeting interferon pathways, inflammasomes, epithelial alarmins, metabolic programs, and microbiome-related immune regulation.\n\nID: 42287819\nTitle: Ma-Xing-Shi-Gan decoction alleviates allergic asthma by modulating the gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolism-ILC2 axis.\nAbstract: Ma-Xing-Shi-Gan decoction (MXSG) shows clinical efficacy in asthma, yet how it shapes gut-lung immunity-particularly type 2 innate lymphoid responses-remains poorly defined. To investigate whether MXSG mitigates asthma by restraining group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) via a gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolic pathway, and to identify microbiota-dependent active compounds. An asthma mouse model was used. ILC2 in the lung and intestinal lamina propria were assessed by flow cytometry. Rag1\u207b/\u207b mice were used to assess T and B cell-independent effects. Untargeted fecal metabolomics and antibiotic-mediated microbiota depletion were conducted to evaluate metabolic and microbial contributions. Microbiota-dependent MXSG constituents were traced using anaerobic fecal fermentation coupled with LC-MS/MS profiling, followed by in vivo validation. MXSG significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation, reduced bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils and improved histopathology. It decreased ILC2s populations in lung and gut. These effects were preserved in Rag1\u207b/\u207b mice but abolished with antibiotics pretreatment, indicating microbiota dependence. Metabolomics revealed that MXSG reprogrammed tryptophan metabolism, restoring tryptamine and rebalancing kynurenine, indole, and serotonin-related branches. Anaerobic fermentation and LC-MS/MS profiling identified microbiota-dependent flavonoids, and isorhamnetin partially reproduced the anti-inflammatory and ILC2-modulating effects in vivo. MXSG exerts its anti-asthmatic effects via the gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolism-ILC2 axis. These findings reveal a novel gut-lung mechanism centered on type 2 innate immunity and microbiota-derived indole metabolism.\n\nID: 42286958\nTitle: Circadian control of innate immunity: molecular mechanisms and implications for allergic disorders.\nAbstract: Circadian clocks are increasingly recognized as fundamental regulators of innate immune function, yet their relevance to allergy and clinical immunology has only recently been clarified. This review summarizes emerging evidence linking circadian regulation of innate immune cells to allergic inflammation and highlights the translational potential of circadian-informed therapeutic strategies. Core clock components are rhythmically expressed in macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils and innate lymphoid cells, where they regulate inflammatory signalling, immunometabolism and activation thresholds. Disruption of these rhythms exaggerates cytokine production, inflammasome activation and mast cell mediator release, contributing to diurnal patterns of allergic disease such as nocturnal asthma. Human and experimental studies demonstrate that circadian misalignment driven by shift work, irregular sleep and mistimed feeding amplifies innate inflammation and worsens allergic outcomes. Circadian regulation represents an underappreciated dimension of innate immunity in allergic disease. Aligning immunomodulatory therapies, vaccination, and lifestyle interventions with endogenous immune rhythms offers a rational approach to improving efficacy and reducing inflammatory burden. Future studies should prioritize time-stratified clinical trials and direct circadian phenotyping in allergic populations.\n\nID: 42269551\nTitle: Arginine metabolism and the NF-\u0138B pathway jointly regulate the airway inflammation in asthma mediated by ILC2s.\nAbstract: Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are the key effector cells in airway inflammation of asthma. Arginase 2 (Arg2) and the NF-\u0138B pathway are both involved in the inflammatory response, but the mechanism by which they jointly regulate the function of ILC2s remains unclear. In this study, an OVA-induced mouse asthma model was used, combined with in vivo and in vitro experiments, flow cytometry and targeted metabolomics to explore the roles of both and their mutual regulatory relationship. In OVA-induced asthmatic mice, airway inflammation was aggravated and the proportion of lung ILC2s increased, while Arg2 expression was upregulated and the NF-\u0138B pathway was activated. In the in vivo experiments, the Arg2 inhibitor nor-NOHA or the NF-\u0138B inhibitor DHMEQ could alleviate inflammation, and the combined treatment was more effective. Experiments in vitro have shown that NF-\u0138B may promote the expression of Arg2, and inhibiting the expression of Arg2 can partially reduce the activation of the NF-\u0138B pathway; combined inhibition can reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors by ILC2s. Additionally, TNF-\u03b1 could weaken the inhibitory effect of nor-NOHA on Arg2. In summary, NF-\u0138B may regulate the expression of Arg2 in ILC2s, and Arg2 may feedback-regulate the NF-\u0138B-mediated inflammation through arginine metabolism. The two synergistically affect the activation of ILC2s and the type 2 inflammation of asthma. Targeting both simultaneously can alleviate airway inflammation and provide a potential new idea for asthma treatment.\n\nID: 42220476\nTitle: Studies on allergic diseases and B cells in the past 20 years: a bibliometric analysis via CiteSpace and VOSviewer.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases represent a growing global health burden, and B cells have emerged as central yet incompletely defined regulators of IgE-mediated immunity and tolerance. There is currently a lack of bibliometric research on allergic diseases and B cells. Records were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and PubMed. After applying language, time, and article-type restrictions, 3, 084 WoSCC articles and 71 PubMed-indexed clinical trials were included. CiteSpace (v6.4.R1), VOSviewer (v1.6.20), and Excel were used to analyze publication and citation trends, journals, countries, institutions, authors, keyword co-occurrence, and burst terms, and to visualize co-authorship and thematic networks. Annual publications and citations increased steadily, indicating sustained academic interest. Output was concentrated in leading allergy and immunology journals and in institutions from Europe and the United States, although contributions from other regions have increased over time. Keyword clustering identified stable cores around 'food allergy, ' 'asthma, ' and 'plasma cells, ' while burst and overlay analyses highlighted 'regulatory B cells' and 'innate lymphoid cells' as emerging research hotspots. These bibliometric patterns indicate growing attention to tissue-associated B-cell biology, immune regulation, and allergen immunotherapy. PubMed clinical-trial records further suggest increasing translational interest in B-cell-related interventions for allergic diseases. Over the past 20 years, research on allergic diseases and B cells has evolved from descriptive immunoglobulin E (IgE) associations toward a tissue- and systems-level exploration of B-cell biology. This bibliometric analysis delineates research hotspots and translational themes, Future progress will require large, multicenter studies with standardized B-cell phenotyping and functional endpoints to support precision medicine in allergy.\n\nID: 42205905\nTitle: Tissue-resident immune cells in asthma: drivers of inflammation, memory, and airway remodeling.\nAbstract: The complex inflammatory condition associated with airflow obstruction and variable airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) is a characteristics condition of asthma. Exposure of the lungs to different environmental triggers, such as allergens, pollen, and environmental toxicants, exaggerates the immune reaction, narrowing the airways and resulting in episodes of reversible bronchoconstriction. The interaction of resident immune cells, structural cells, and altered extracellular matrix proteins creates persistent inflammatory condition in lung, resulting in airways inflammation, hyperresponsiveness, and remodelling. The imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response from granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes, along with an imbalanced ratio of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), this results in continual airway inflammation and airway remodeling. The emerging protective role of a specific group of tissue-resident eosinophils (rEos), long-lived tissue-resident memory CD4\u207a T cells (TRM) and B cells (BRM), resident macrophages, endothelial cell (ECs), and innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in amelioration of asthma is disclosing the novel approach for attenuation of asthma pathogenesis. This new understanding emphasizes the elasticity, tenacity, and communication of myeloid and lymphoid cells in the lung microenvironment, opening the door to new therapeutic possibilities, particularly for severe and chronic asthma. This review combines recent findings that refine our understanding of how immune cells contribute to asthma development and progression. It highlights the important roles of innate immune cells and tissue-resident memory lymphocytes, their interactions with resident cells, and also identifies new treatment approaches that could attenuate asthma progression.\n\nID: 42201298\nTitle: Differential responses of group 2 innate lymphoid cells and TH2 cells to benralizumab in severe asthma.\nAbstract: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous disease with variable treatment responses to biologic therapy. Conventional biomarkers, including blood eosinophil counts and fractional exhaled nitric oxide, only partially capture response heterogeneity. We evaluated the cytokine secretion profiles of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and TH2 cells and examined their associations with clinical outcomes after benralizumab therapy. We analyzed 70 patients with severe type 2-high asthma enrolled onto the multicenter Tokyo Asthma Study. Cytokine secretion by ILC2s and TH2 cells was evaluated by live cell imaging of secretion activity, which enables real-time visualization of cytokine secretion from individual lymphocytes. The frequencies of IL-4-, IL-5-, and IL-13-producing cells were quantified at baseline and after 24 weeks of benralizumab treatment. Clinical responses were primarily assessed by the Asthma Control Questionnaire 5, and patients were classified as experiencing response or not. Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031190237). In type 2-high asthma, ILC2s and TH2 cells exhibited distinct cytokine secretion profiles with no significant correlation between the two cell populations. Benralizumab selectively suppressed IL-5- and IL-13-producing ILC2s but had little effect on TH2 cells. Patients with higher baseline frequencies of IL-4-producing TH2 cells showed limited clinical improvement after benralizumab therapy. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, baseline IL-4-producing TH2 cell frequency was associated with Asthma Control Questionnaire-defined nonresponse after adjustment for blood eosinophil counts and fractional exhaled nitric oxide. Single-cell functional lymphocyte profiling identifies distinct innate and adaptive type 2 responses to benralizumab and provides complementary information associated with response heterogeneity in severe asthma.\n\nID: 42199420\nTitle: Melatonin suppresses ILC2-driven airway hyperreactivity via glutathione-dependent metabolic reprogramming.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is characterized by type 2 inflammation and overnight worsening of symptoms, yet dynamic fluxes in cellular metabolic profiles driving time-of-day variation remain poorly defined. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central mediators of airway hyperreactivity. We identify melatonin as a previously unrecognized regulator of ILC2 metabolism and function. In murine models of allergic airway inflammation, melatonin reduced eosinophilia, type 2 cytokine production, and airway hyperreactivity without altering ILC2 abundance. Mechanistically, melatonin acted independently of canonical melatonin receptors and instead reprogrammed ILC2 metabolism toward pentose phosphate pathway activity, enhancing NADPH generation and NRF2-dependent glutathione accumulation. Metabolic profiling, loss-of-function approaches, and pharmacologic activation studies demonstrated that NRF2 is both necessary and sufficient to restrain ILC2 effector function. Importantly, primary human ILC2s exhibited conserved NRF2 activation, glutathione accumulation, and reduced type 2 cytokine production in response to melatonin, underscoring clinical relevance. Together, these findings identify the melatonin-NRF2-glutathione axis as a metabolic checkpoint regulating innate type 2 immunity and suggest that therapeutic targeting of redox metabolism may represent a strategy for modulating airway inflammation in allergic asthma.\n\nID: 42449908\nTitle: Baseline Inflammatory Biomarkers and Disease Burden for Predicting Response to Stapokibart in CRSwNP.\nAbstract: Background: Stapokibart is a novel biologic for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to identify baseline biomarkers predicting early (4-week) and mid-term (16-week) responses to stapokibart in CRSwNP. Methods: A total of 57 patients were prospectively enrolled. Baseline clinical data and complete blood count (CBC) parameters were collected, and derived inflammatory indices were calculated. Patients were classified as responders or non-responders at week 4 and 16 based on achieving either a \u22658.9-point reduction in SNOT-22 or a \u22651-point decrease in Nasal Polyp Score (NPS). Results: Stapokibart significantly improved SNOT-22, VAS, and NPS at both week 4 and week 16 (all p < 0.001). At week 4, 80.7% achieved an early response. Responders showed significantly higher baseline eosinophil count and eosinophil percentage and lower neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (N/E) (all p < 0.05). Univariate analysis identified N/E, comorbid asthma, eosinophil count, and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) as predictors of early response (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified N/E as an independent predictor (OR = 0.943, p = 0.011; AUC = 0.756). At week 16, 75.4% of patients achieved a mid-term response. Responders had significantly higher baseline SNOT-22 scores and NPS (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that baseline NPS and SNOT-22 scores were independently associated with mid-term response, and their combined model showed good predictive performance (AUC = 0.832, 95% CI: 0.716-0.948). Conclusions: Peripheral blood inflammatory biomarkers, particularly N/E, may predict early response to stapokibart in CRSwNP, whereas mid-term response appears more strongly associated with baseline disease severity. These findings support biomarker-driven stratification for individualized treatment strategies in CRSwNP.\n\nID: 42439685\nTitle: Mechanisms of Eosinophil Degranulation.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are highly granulated white blood and tissue cells that play complex roles in the immune system including host protection against helminthic parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. These bone marrow-derived cells cause tissue damage in a range of diseases and disorders, particularly in allergy, asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Eosinophils are recruited to tissues in response to chemotactic signals, and during inflammation, they release a plethora of mediators, including immunoregulatory cytokines, through multiple pathways involving degranulation, respiratory burst, lipid mediator release, exosome release, and extracellular trap formation. Degranulation from eosinophils has been implicated as a major effector mechanism in airway diseases, particularly late phase asthma responses and in nasal polyps from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. In degranulation responses, eosinophils release numerous granule proteins by classical exocytosis, compound exocytosis, piecemeal degranulation, and cytolysis, which refers to cell lysis through membrane rupture and cell destruction. Cytolysis can lead to suicidal extracellular trap formation, which is a regulated form of cell death involving the release of extracellular DNA traps and granule proteins. Granule release from eosinophils is dependent on activation of specific and tightly regulated intracellular signaling pathways, including Rac and Rab guanosine triphosphatases, soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs), Cdk5 kinase, and actin dynamics. These observations have shown selective and nonredundant roles for signaling in degranulation responses. In this review, we explore findings from the literature on the mechanisms controlling granule-derived mediator release from eosinophils.\n\nID: 42433066\nTitle: Benralizumab is effective in severe asthma with CRS, regardless of demographic and clinical basal outcomes.\nAbstract: Severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) frequently coexists with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with or without nasal polyps (CRSwNP/CRSsNP), exacerbating disease burden. The Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) assesses quality of life in CRS patients, but the impact of benralizumab on nasal symptoms remains controversial. This retrospective multicenter study analyzed SNOT-22 changes after 12 months of benralizumab treatment in SEA patients with comorbid CRS from the AUTOBENRA study, including data from nine Spanish hospitals. Among 121 screened SEA patients, 72 (59.5%) had CRS, with 31 providing complete SNOT-22 data pre- and posttreatment. Subjects were predominantly female (74.2%), with a mean age of 56.4 \u00b1 13.8 years. Most (85%) had CRSwNP, 71% reported anosmia, and 67.6% had undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) (mean: 2.3 \u00b1 1.7 surgeries). The baseline SNOT-22 score averaged 55.7 \u00b1 24.6 points. After 12 months, 21 (67.7%) achieved a minimal clinically important difference (MCID; \u226512 points). Notably, anosmic subjects were more likely to achieve the MCID (82% vs 33%; P = 0.005). No significant correlations emerged between SNOT-22 improvement and demographic, clinical, or biomarker profiles.These findings suggest that benralizumab significantly improves quality of life in SEA patients with CRS, particularly those with anosmia, regardless of baseline characteristics or biomarker levels.\n\nID: 42431178\nTitle: Peripheral blood eosinophils as an adjunctive biomarker for eosinophilic otitis media: Supporting the validity of current diagnostic criteria.\nAbstract: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is recognized as a type 2 inflammatory airway disease closely associated with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Although peripheral blood eosinophils are established biomarkers of type 2 inflammation, their clinical significance in EOM remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of peripheral blood eosinophil counts in EOM in relation to current diagnostic criteria. This retrospective study included 64 patients with EOM and 69 patients with chronic perforated otitis media (COM) who underwent tympanoplasty as controls. Peripheral blood eosinophil counts at the initial visit were compared between the groups. The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing EOM was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. In addition, associations between eosinophil counts and clinical features were analyzed in the EOM group. The mean eosinophil percentage and absolute count were significantly higher in the EOM group than in the COM group (8.6% vs. 2.6% and 543/\u03bcL vs. 140/\u03bcL, respectively; P\u00a0<\u00a00.001). The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing EOM was >\u00a0249/\u03bcL (sensitivity: 85.7%, specificity: 79.2%, odds ratio: 22.9). In patients with EOM, higher eosinophil counts were significantly associated with perennial allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) positivity and the presence of nasal polyposis. However, eosinophil counts were not significantly correlated with middle ear findings, disease severity, or imaging scores. Peripheral blood eosinophil counts >\u00a0249/\u03bcL may serve as an adjunctive biomarker to current diagnostic criteria for EOM. These levels do not appear to reflect local disease activity but rather indicate underlying systemic type 2 inflammation. The findings support the validity of current diagnostic criteria that incorporate comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as bronchial asthma and CRSwNP.\n\nID: 42402749\nTitle: Differential histopathological features and comorbidity profiles in chronic rhinosinusitis phenotypes.\nAbstract: The aim of this study was to analyze histopathological (HP) changes, blood eosinophil levels, and comorbidities associated with Type 2 inflammation in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP), in order to determine the prevalence of inflammatory endotypes among chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) patients in Romania. This retrospective, observational, nonrandomized study has been conducted between January 2021-December 2022 enrolling 186 consecutive patients with CRSwNP (Group A, n=119 patients) and CRSsNP (Group B, n=67 patients), for whom endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) have been performed. Among the CRSwNP group, 27 (23%) patients had asthma, and 22 (18.48%) patients had associated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) hypersensitivity, in comparison with CRSsNP group, where we found two (3.03%) patients who had associated asthma and one (1.51%) patient who had associated NSAIDs hypersensitivity. Among the CRSsNP (Group B) patients, 18 (27%) had peripheral blood hypereosinophilia, while eosinophilic infiltration was identified in the HP analysis of biopsy samples from 18 (27%) individuals in this group. Among the cohort of patients diagnosed with CRSwNP, 56 (47%) had blood hypereosinophilia, while eosinophils were detected in the HP analysis of biopsy samples from 73 (61%) individuals. This research reinforces the critical role of endotyping in CRS, moving beyond simple phenotypic classification. By identifying specific biological mechanisms, clinicians can better predict disease behavior and treatment response.\n\nID: 42402689\nTitle: [The impact of the severity of chronic sinusitis with nasal polyps and the coexistence of Th2-type inflammation on 25\uff08OH\uff09 D and pulmonary function].\nAbstract: Objective:To explore the superimposed effects of the severity of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and Th2-type inflammatory comorbidities\uff08allergic rhinitis/asthma\uff09 on 25-hydroxyvitamin D[25\uff08OH\uff09 D]and pulmonary function. Methods:A total of 159 patients with CRSwNP were retrospectively enrolled and divided into 4 groups according to comorbidities\uff08single disease group, AR group, asthma group, AR+ asthma group\uff09. CT Lund-Mackay score, endoscopic Lund-Kennedy score, pulmonary function\uff08FEV1.0/FVC\uff09, serum 25\uff08OH\uff09 D and eosinophil proportion\uff08EOS%\uff09 were evaluated. Analysis of variance, partial correlation and logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Results:The comorbidity group had significantly aggravated sinonasal inflammation and lung function damage: Lund-Kennedy score\uff0814.740\u00b15.465 vs Single disease group: 8.49\u00b14.02, P<0.001\uff09, EOS%\uff0813.68%\u00b13.47% vs 3.95%\u00b12.13%, P<0.001\uff09 were the highest, and 25\uff08OH\uff09 D[\uff0820.22\u00b18.20\uff09nmol/L vs \uff0841.55\u00b114.37\uff09nmol/L, P<0.001] was the lowest, and pulmonary function limitation\uff08FEV1.0/FVC=77.15%\u00b115.92% vs 97.43%\u00b114.01%\uff09 was the most significant\uff08P<0.001\uff09. Multivariate regression analysis showed that comorbidity group\uff08odds ratio, OR=2.482, 95%CI 1.350-4.562\uff09 and Lund-Kennedy score\uff08OR=1.583, 95%CI 1.358-1.844\uff09 were independent risk factors for 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency. Both of them also significantly predicted lung function limitation\uff08OR=5.341, 1.414\uff09. The ROC curve confirmed that a Lund-Kennedy score of \u226514 predicted a 92.5% sensitivity for vitamin D deficiency, and a score of \u226511 predicted a 100% sensitivity for pulmonary function limitation. Conclusion:A Lund-Kennedy score of \u226514 and 11 are high-risk warning indicators for 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency and restricted lung function. Sinonasal lesions in severe CRSwNP coexisting with Th2-type inflammation are accompanied by more significant 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency and lung function impairment. Clinically, such patients need to be monitored more closely. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u63a2\u8ba8\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\uff08CRSwNP\uff09\u75be\u75c5\u4e25\u91cd\u7a0b\u5ea6\u53caTh2\u578b\u708e\u75c7\u5171\u75c5[\uff08\u53d8\u5e94\u6027\u9f3b\u708e\uff08AR\uff09/\u54ee\u5598\uff09]\u5bf925-\u7f9f\u7ef4\u751f\u7d20D[25\uff08OH\uff09D]\u548c\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u7684\u53e0\u52a0\u5f71\u54cd\u3002 \u65b9\u6cd5\uff1a\u56de\u987e\u6027\u7eb3\u5165159\u4f8bCRSwNP\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u6309\u5171\u75c5\u60c5\u51b5\u52064\u7ec4[\uff08\u5355\u75c5\u7ec4\u3001\u5408\u5e76AR\u7ec4\u3001\u5408\u5e76\u54ee\u5598\u7ec4\u3001AR+\u54ee\u5598\u7ec4\uff09]\u3002\u8bc4\u4f30\u9f3b\u7aa6CT Lund-Mackay\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u5185\u955cLund-Kennedy\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\uff08FEV1.0/FVC\uff09\u3001\u8840\u6e0525\uff08OH\uff09D\u53ca\u55dc\u9178\u6027\u7c92\u7ec6\u80de\u6bd4\u4f8b\uff08EOS%\uff09\u7b49\u6307\u6807\uff0c\u91c7\u7528\u65b9\u5dee\u5206\u6790\u3001\u504f\u76f8\u5173\u53calogistic\u56de\u5f52\u8fdb\u884c\u7edf\u8ba1\u5b66\u5206\u6790\u3002 \u7ed3\u679c\uff1a\u5171\u75c5\u7ec4\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u75c7\u53ca\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u635f\u4f24\u663e\u8457\u52a0\u91cd\uff1aAR+\u54ee\u5598\u7ec4Lund-Kennedy\u8bc4\u5206\uff0814.74\u00b15.47 vs \u5355\u75c5\u7ec48.49\u00b14.02\uff0cP<0.001\uff09\u3001EOS%\uff0813.68%\u00b13.47% vs 3.95%\u00b12.13%\uff0cP<0.001\uff09\u6700\u9ad8\uff0c25\uff08OH\uff09D\u6700\u4f4e[\uff0820.22\u00b18.19\uff09nmol/L vs \uff0841.55\u00b114.37\uff09nmol/L\uff0cP<0.001]\uff0c\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u53d7\u9650\uff08FEV1.0/FVC=77.15%\u00b115.92% vs 97.43%\u00b114.01%\uff09\u6700\u663e\u8457\uff08P<0.001\uff09\u3002\u591a\u56e0\u7d20\u56de\u5f52\u663e\u793a\uff1a\u5171\u75c5\u5206\u7ec4\uff08OR=2.482\uff0c95%CI1.350\uff5e4.562\uff09\u548cLund-Kennedy\u8bc4\u5206\uff08OR=1.583\uff0c95%CI 1.358\uff5e1.844\uff09\u662f25\uff08OH\uff09D\u7f3a\u4e4f\u7684\u72ec\u7acb\u5371\u9669\u56e0\u7d20\uff1b\u4e8c\u8005\u4ea6\u663e\u8457\u9884\u6d4b\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u53d7\u9650\uff08OR=5.341\u30011.414\uff09\u3002ROC\u66f2\u7ebf\u8bc1\u5b9e\uff1aLund-Kennedy\u8bc4\u5206\u226514\u5206\u9884\u6d4b25\uff08OH\uff09D\u7f3a\u4e4f\u7684\u654f\u611f\u5ea692.5%\uff0c\u226511\u5206\u9884\u6d4b\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u53d7\u9650\u7684\u654f\u611f\u5ea6\u8fbe100%\u3002 \u7ed3\u8bba\uff1aLund-Kennedy\u8bc4\u5206\u226514\u5206\u300111\u5206\u662f25\uff08OH\uff09D\u7f3a\u4e4f\u7f3a\u4e4f\u548c\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u53d7\u9650\u7684\u9ad8\u5371\u9884\u8b66\u6307\u6807\u3002\u4e25\u91cdCRSwNP\u7684\u9f3b\u7aa6\u75c5\u53d8\u4e0eTh2\u578b\u708e\u75c7\u5171\u75c5\u4f34\u968f\u66f4\u663e\u8457\u768425\uff08OH\uff09D\u7f3a\u4e4f\u548c\u80ba\u529f\u80fd\u635f\u4f24\uff0c\u4e34\u5e8a\u9700\u5bf9\u6b64\u7c7b\u60a3\u8005\u52a0\u5f3a\u76d1\u6d4b\u3002.\n\nID: 42402683\nTitle: [Efficacy assessment of stapokibart in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps stratified by Type 2 inflammation-related clinical characteristics].\nAbstract: Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of Stapokibart in patients with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 based on key type 2 inflammatory clinical characteristics. Methods:A total of 28 patients with CRSwNP receiving either stapokibart or placebo were stratified based on peripheral blood eosinophil\uff08EOS\uff09 count\uff08cutoff value: 0.3\u00d710\u2078/L\uff09, comorbid asthma, and history of sinus surgery. After 24 weeks of treatment, changes from baseline in efficacy endpoints-including nasal polyp score\uff08NPS\uff09, nasal congestion score\uff08NCS\uff09, loss of smell score\uff08LOS\uff09, total nasal symptom score\uff08TNSS\uff09, 22-item Sino-Nasal Outcome Test\uff08SNOT-22\uff09, University of Pennsylvania Smell Identification Test\uff08UPSIT\uff09, and Lund-Mackay CT score were analyzed within each subgroup and compared against the placebo group. Results:After 24 weeks of treatment, stapokibart demonstrated significant improvements in nasal symptoms and related outcome measures across all subgroups compared to placebo. Due to the reduced sample sizes following subgroup stratification, differences in efficacy within each subgroup did not reach statistical significance. Conclusion:Stapokibart is effective in the overall CRSwNP population. However, whether its efficacy is influenced by factors such as comorbid asthma, eosinophil levels, or surgical history warrants validation in larger cohort studies. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u57fa\u4e8e2\u578b\u708e\u75c7\u76f8\u5173\u4e3b\u8981\u4e34\u5e8a\u7279\u5f81\u8bc4\u4f30\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u6cbb\u7597\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\uff08chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff0cCRSwNP\uff09\u7684\u7597\u6548\u3002 \u65b9\u6cd5\uff1a28\u4f8b\u63a5\u53d7\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u6216\u5b89\u6170\u5242\u6cbb\u7597\u7684CRSwNP\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u6839\u636e\u5916\u5468\u8840\u55dc\u9178\u6027\u7c92\u7ec6\u80de\uff08eosinophil\uff0cEOS\uff09\u8ba1\u6570\uff08\u4e34\u754c\u503c0.3\u00d710\u2078/L\uff09\u3001\u5408\u5e76\u54ee\u5598\u4ee5\u53ca\u624b\u672f\u53f2\u8fdb\u884c\u5206\u5c42\u5206\u6790\uff0c\u6bd4\u8f8324\u5468\u6cbb\u7597\u540e\u5404\u4e9a\u7ec4\u5185\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8bc4\u5206\uff08NPS\uff09\u3001\u9f3b\u585e\u8bc4\u5206\uff08NCS\uff09\u3001\u55c5\u89c9\u51cf\u9000\u8bc4\u5206\uff08LOS\uff09\u3001\u9f3b\u90e8\u603b\u75c7\u72b6\u7efc\u5408\u8bc4\u5206\uff08TNSS\uff09\u3001\u9f3b-\u9f3b\u7aa6\u7ed3\u5c40\u6d4b\u8bd522\u91cf\u8868\uff08SNOT-22\uff09\u3001\u5bbe\u5915\u6cd5\u5c3c\u4e9a\u5927\u5b66\u55c5\u89c9\u8bc6\u522b\u6d4b\u8bd5\uff08UPSIT\uff09\u3001Lund-Mackay CT\u8bc4\u5206\u76f8\u5173\u7597\u6548\u6307\u6807\u8f83\u57fa\u7ebf\u7684\u53d8\u5316\uff0c\u5e76\u4e0e\u5b89\u6170\u5242\u7ec4\u8fdb\u884c\u7ec4\u95f4\u6bd4\u8f83\u3002 \u7ed3\u679c\uff1a\u4e0e\u5b89\u6170\u5242\u7ec4\u6bd4\u8f83\uff0c\u6cbb\u759724\u5468\u540e\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u5404\u4e9a\u7ec4\u4e2d\u60a3\u8005\u9f3b\u90e8\u75c7\u72b6\u53ca\u76f8\u5173\u6307\u6807\u8bc4\u5206\u5747\u663e\u8457\u6539\u5584\u3002\u7531\u4e8e\u4e9a\u7ec4\u5206\u5c42\u540e\u6837\u672c\u91cf\u8f83\u5c0f\uff0c\u5404\u4e9a\u7ec4\u5185\u7684\u7597\u6548\u5dee\u5f02\u65e0\u7edf\u8ba1\u5b66\u610f\u4e49\u3002 \u7ed3\u8bba\uff1a\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u5bf9\u6574\u4f53CRSwNP\u4eba\u7fa4\u5177\u6709\u7597\u6548\uff0c\u4f46\u5176\u7597\u6548\u662f\u5426\u53d7\u5230\u5408\u5e76\u54ee\u5598\u3001\u55dc\u9178\u7c92\u7ec6\u80de\u6c34\u5e73\u53ca\u624b\u672f\u53f2\u7b49\u56e0\u7d20\u5f71\u54cd\uff0c\u9700\u66f4\u5927\u6837\u672c\u7684\u7814\u7a76\u8fdb\u4e00\u6b65\u9a8c\u8bc1\u3002.\n\nID: 42402681\nTitle: [Real-world efficacy and influencing factors of stapokibart in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps].\nAbstract: Objective:To evaluate the real-world efficacy and safety of stapokibart in the treatment of moderate-to-severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and to explore baseline predictors for quality-of-life improvement.

Regarding safety, injection site reactions involving swelling and pain were the most frequently reported adverse events, and no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusion:Stapokibart demonstrated significant and rapid efficacy with a favorable safety profile in real-world clinical practice for moderate-to-severe CRSwNP, showing strong applicability across different baseline patient characteristics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u8bc4\u4ef7\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\uff08stapokibart\uff09\u6cbb\u7597\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\uff08CRSwNP\uff09\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u4e16\u754c\u7597\u6548\u3001\u5b89\u5168\u6027\uff0c\u5e76\u63a2\u7d22\u5f71\u54cd\u751f\u6d3b\u8d28\u91cf\u6539\u5584\u7684\u57fa\u7ebf\u9884\u6d4b\u56e0\u7d20\u3002 \u65b9\u6cd5\uff1a\u672c\u7814\u7a76\u524d\u77bb\u6027\u7eb3\u516536\u4f8b\u63a5\u53d7\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u6cbb\u7597\uff08300 mg\uff0c\u6bcf2\u54681\u6b21\uff0c\u517116\u5468\uff09\u7684\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6CRSwNP\u60a3\u8005\u3002\u89c2\u5bdf\u6307\u6807\u5305\u62ecSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u603b\u9f3bVAS\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u55c5\u89c9\u529f\u80fd\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8bc4\u5206\uff08NPS\uff09\u3001\u9f3b\u7aa6CT Lund-Mackay\u8bc4\u5206\u53ca\u5916\u5468\u8840\u55dc\u9178\u6027\u7c92\u7ec6\u80de\u8ba1\u6570\u7b49\u3002\u91c7\u7528\u5355\u53d8\u91cf\u968f\u673a\u622a\u8ddd\u6df7\u5408\u7ebf\u6027\u6a21\u578b\u5206\u6790\u8bc4\u4f30\u7597\u6548\u5f71\u54cd\u56e0\u7d20\u3002 \u7ed3\u679c\uff1a\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u540e\uff0c\u60a3\u8005\u4e3b\u5ba2\u89c2\u6307\u6807\u5747\u663e\u8457\u6539\u5584\uff1aSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u7531\u57fa\u7ebf\uff0845.90\u00b115.60\uff09\u5206\u964d\u81f3\uff0818.20\u00b113.60\uff09\u5206\uff0cNPS\u8bc4\u5206\u5e73\u5747\u6539\u5584\uff082.72\u00b11.93\uff09\u5206\uff0cSniffin'Sticks\u55c5\u89c9\u8bc6\u522b\u8bc4\u5206\u63d0\u5347\uff085.36\u00b13.84\uff09\u5206\uff08\u5747P<0.001\uff09\u3002\u55c5\u89c9\u75c7\u72b6\u5728\u6cbb\u75972\u5468\u65f6\u5373\u51fa\u73b0\u65e9\u671f\u6539\u5584\u3002\u5355\u53d8\u91cf\u968f\u673a\u622a\u8ddd\u6df7\u5408\u7ebf\u6027\u6a21\u578b\u663e\u793a\uff0c\u5e74\u9f84\u3001BMI\u3001\u624b\u672f\u53f2\u3001\u53d8\u5e94\u6027\u9f3b\u708e\u3001\u54ee\u5598\u75c5\u53f2\u53ca\u57fa\u7ebf\u5916\u5468\u8840\u8ba1\u6570\u7b49\u6307\u6807\u5747\u4e0d\u80fd\u663e\u8457\u9884\u6d4bSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u7684\u7eb5\u5411\u6539\u5584\u8d8b\u52bf\uff08P>0.05\uff09\u3002\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u65b9\u9762\uff0c\u6ce8\u5c04\u90e8\u4f4d\u80bf\u75db\u7684\u76f8\u5173\u53cd\u5e94\u6700\u5e38\u89c1\uff0c\u672a\u53d1\u751f\u4e25\u91cd\u4e0d\u826f\u4e8b\u4ef6\u3002 \u7ed3\u8bba\uff1a\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u5728\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6CRSwNP\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u4e16\u754c\u4e34\u5e8a\u5b9e\u8df5\u4e2d\u663e\u793a\u51fa\u663e\u8457\u4e14\u5feb\u901f\u7684\u7597\u6548\uff0c\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u826f\u597d\uff0c\u4e14\u5176\u7597\u6548\u83b7\u76ca\u5177\u6709\u8f83\u5f3a\u7684\u666e\u9002\u6027\u3002.\n\nID: 42398863\nTitle: Comparative Efficacy of Biologic Agents for Severe Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis.\nAbstract: Biologic therapies improve outcomes in severe chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), but their comparative efficacy remains uncertain. To compare the efficacy and safety of seven biologic agents (dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, depemokimab, tezepelumab, and stapokibart) for the treatment of severe CRSwNP. We systematically reviewed randomized trials in PubMed and EMBASE evaluating biologic agents for severe CRSwNP. Primary outcomes were changes in nasal-polyp score (NPS) and nasal congestion score (NCS) at 20-24 and 48-56 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in loss-of-smell, SNOT-22, UPSIT, Lund-Mackay scores, need for nasal-polyp surgery or systemic corticosteroids, and safety. We used mean differences (MDs) and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for analysis. Fifteen randomized trials involving 3,642 patients were included. At 20-24 weeks, dupilumab and stapokibart produced greater reductions in NPS and NCS compared to depemokimab, omalizumab, and benralizumab, with no significant differences between dupilumab and stapokibart for NPS (MD: 0.29; 95%CI: [-0.97, 0.40]) and NCS (MD: 0.19; 95%CI: [-0.03, 0.42]). At 48-56 weeks, dupilumab and tezepelumab produced greater reductions in NPS and NCS than depemokimab, mepolizumab, or benralizumab; no significant differences were observed between dupilumab and tezepelumab for NPS (MD: 0.32; 95%CI: [-0.17, 0.81]) and NCS (MD: 0.06; 95%CI: [-0.19, 0.31]). Dupilumab, tezepelumab (at 48-56 weeks only) and stapokibart (at 20-24 weeks only) showed superior outcomes for secondary endpoints against other tested biologics. There were no analyzable data for stapokibart at 48-56 weeks and tezepelumab at 20-24 weeks. In the subgroup of patients with concomitant asthma, tezepelumab was superior to depemokimab and mepolizumab at 48-56 weeks, while at 20-24 weeks stapokibart was not superior to dupilumab with regards to NPS and NCS. In patients with concomitant aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, tezepelumab was superior to depemokimab in reducing NPS and NCS, while at 20-24 weeks, dupilumab was superior to omalizumab with regards to reductions in NPS and NCS. Safety profiles were comparable across agents. Dupilumab, tezepelumab, and stapokibart were associated with greater clinical benefit than other biologics in severe CRSwNP. Indirect comparisons did not demonstrate superiority of stapokibart (at 20-24 weeks) or tezepelumab (at 48-56 weeks) over dupilumab, highlighting the need for direct comparative trials.\n\nID: 42396451\nTitle: Evaluating antioxidant treatment approaches for eosinophilic chronic sinusitis.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with eosinophilia (ECRS) is a refractory sinusitis characterized by eosinophilia in the nasal mucosa and peripheral blood. In ECRS, multiple nasal polyps are present in the ethmoid sinuses, and the disease is often accompanied by olfactory dysfunction and asthma. It is a disease that significantly impairs the quality of life of patients by causing persistent nasal congestion and thick nasal discharge, leading to decreased concentration and insomnia. From previous studies, we found that (1) defects in Cu,Zn-SOD in ECRS epithelium contribute to increased IL-17A, macrophage infiltration in the subepithelial tissue, and excessive production of mucin gene (MUC5AC) in the epithelium, thereby potentially exacerbating inflammation and excessive mucus secretion, and (2) reduced HO-1 expression in the epithelium and macrophage infiltration are associated with epithelial damage in CRS accompanied by eosinophil infiltration. These findings suggest that antioxidants may play a crucial role in elucidating the pathophysiology of refractory diseases such as ECRS and may provide new therapeutic strategies. In this paper, three new comprehensive molecular signaling pathway networks of (1) oxidative stress, (2) inflammation inhibition mechanisms and (3) inflammation in ECRS were developed for the first time, based on a critical analysis of scientific literature. In addition, three immunology flowsheets related to oxidative stress, inflammation and carbon monoxide-based inflammation inhibition mechanisms of ECRS were developed for the first time and examined from both clinical and biochemical perspectives. Based on these pathways, this study identified the treatment targets which can be used in future ECRS treatments.\n\nID: 42389539\nTitle: Case Report: Benralizumab combined with a steroid-sparing strategy in a case of severe eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.\nAbstract: Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis characterized by eosinophilic inflammation and necrotizing vasculitis. Benralizumab, an anti-IL-5R\u03b1 monoclonal antibody that directly targets eosinophils, was approved for EGPA in China in December 2025. We report an early real-world experience of benralizumab combined with corticosteroids in a patient with severe ANCA-negative EGPA. A 73-year-old male with a history of childhood asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis, CKD stage 4 presented with recurrent pulmonary infiltrates, progressive interstitial lung disease, severe eosinophilia (peak 12.90\u00d7109/L), diffuse skin lesion and new-onset arrhythmia. After systematic differential diagnosis, EGPA was diagnosed according to the 2022 ACR/EULAR criteria (score 7). BALF and blood testing detected nucleic acids of Pneumocystis jirovecii and CMV. He was treated with methylprednisolone 40 mg/day and subcutaneous benralizumab 30 mg every 4 weeks. Concurrently, empirical preemptive anti-infective therapy (caspofungin for Pneumocystis jirovecii, ganciclovir for CMV) was initiated. At 4-week follow-up, prednisone was tapered to 30 mg/day; dyspnea and rash markedly improved, eosinophils decreased to 0, IgE fell from 1,860 to 519 IU/mL, chest CT showed significant resolution of infiltrates, and pulmonary function improved from severe to mild restrictive impairment. At 3 months, prednisone was further tapered to 25 mg/day in combination with benralizumab, and the patient remained stable without disease relapse or acute infection. This case represents an early real-world application of benralizumab in a high-risk ANCA-negative EGPA patient following its approval in China. The findings suggest that benralizumab, used as an adjunctive steroid-sparing agent, may facilitate rapid corticosteroid tapering in selected vulnerable patients with infection risk. Long-term follow-up and studies are needed to validate these findings.\n\nID: 42386151\nTitle: The management of NSAID-ERD patients in the current treatment landscape: aspirin desensitization, biologics, both, or neither?\nAbstract: The management of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-exacerbated respiratory disease (NSAID-ERD) has undergone a fundamental shift over the past decade with the emergence of respiratory biologics. Characterized by the clinical triad of asthma, chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), and hypersensitivity to cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1) inhibition, the disease is marked by aggressive Type 2 inflammation and eicosanoid dysregulation. This review evaluates the strategic balance between aspirin therapy after desensitization (ATAD) and targeted biologics in the modern treatment landscape. While ATAD remains a high-value, cost-effective, disease-modifying intervention, its clinical success is often contingent upon comprehensive surgical debulking and strict daily adherence. Conversely, the existing respiratory biologics available for the treatment of CRSwNP, including dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, tezepelumab, and, in Europe, depemokimab, offer potent, non-surgical alternatives that target specific inflammatory pathways. Despite these clinical gains, the high financial cost of biologics remains a barrier compared to the pharmacoeconomic superiority of post-operative ATAD. For refractory cases, combination therapy or a stepwise strategy may be necessary. Ultimately, a multidisciplinary, individualized approach is essential to optimize outcomes in this complex patient population.\n\nID: 42377059\nTitle: Clinical Efficacy of Tezepelumab in Moderate-to-Severe Uncontrolled Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: A Systematic Review of Randomized Controlled Trials.\nAbstract: BackgroundChronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the sinuses, resulting in the appearance of nasal polyps and is often associated with comorbidities. Many cases do not respond to corticosteroid treatment or surgery.ObjectiveThis study aimed to explore the role of tezepelumab in the treatment of CRSwNP.MethodsPubmed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library were searched. Three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing tezepelumab and placebo in 655 patients with CRSwNP were included. The main outcomes were nasal polyp size (nasal polyp score, NPS), nasal congestion or obstruction (nasal congestion score, NCS), and quality of life using the sino-nasal outcome test (SNOT-22).ResultsThree RCTS were included, in which tezepelumab was used to treat CRSwNP. The mean age was 50.9 years, with 56.9% male patients and 75.6% of patients with coexisting asthma. The mean difference (MD) for NPS ranged from -0.9 to -2.0 compared to placebo. Consistent benefits were observed for NCS with MD between -0.8 and -1.0 compared to placebo and SNOT-22 with MD ranging from -10 to -28 points compared to placebo.ConclusionIn conclusion, evidence suggests that tezepelumab may improve NPS and NCS, SNOT-22, loss of sense of smell, and clinically relevant endpoints (reduced need for surgery and corticosteroid use), as demonstrated in all included trials. However, the certainty and clinical applicability remain limited due to small trial size, industry sponsorship, and the lack of direct comparison with standard management and endoscopic sinus surgery. Large-scale, independent clinical trials are needed to confirm the position of tezepelumab in clinical practice for patients with moderate to severe CRSwNP.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Physical examination revealed polyp-like masses in bilateral olfactory clefts and middle meatus. The patient was diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and exhibited poor response to an adequate course of topical intranasal corticosteroids, then he enrolled in two clinical trials using anti IL4-R\u03b1 and anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies consequently. The treatment duration for each trial was 16 weeks, respectively. The size of his nasal polyps did not change, which was the main endpoint result for both clinical trials. Then the patient underwent an endoscopic surgery and the pathology was respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma\uff08REAH\uff09, which was further confirmed by the single cell sequencing results of the operative specimen, which were different from normal nasal polyps. The diagnosis of REAH is dependent on pathology and preoperative examination has limited specificity, and REAH may share similarities with nasal polyps. Therefore, REAH should be considered for the differential diagnosis when patients with polyp-like masses exhibit poor response to sufficient treatment using biologics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u672c\u6587\u62a5\u90531\u4f8b\u7537\u6027\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u56e0\u201c\u9f3b\u585e\u4f34\u55c5\u89c9\u51cf\u900020\u4f59\u5e74\u201d\u5c31\u8bca\uff0c\u4f53\u68c0\u53ef\u89c1\u53cc\u4fa7\u4e2d\u9f3b\u9053\u53ca\u55c5\u88c2\u533a\u606f\u8089\u6837\u80bf\u7269\uff0c\u8db3\u91cf\u9f3b\u55b7\u6fc0\u7d20\u6cbb\u7597\u6548\u679c\u4e0d\u4f73\uff0c\u5148\u540e\u4e88\u767d\u7ec6\u80de\u4ecb\u7d204\u53d7\u4f53\u03b1\u4e9a\u57fa\uff08IL4-R\u03b1\uff09\u91cd\u7ec4\u4eba\u6e90\u5316\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u53ca\u6297\u80f8\u817a\u57fa\u8d28\u6dcb\u5df4\u7ec6\u80de\u751f\u6210\u7d20\uff08TSLP\uff09\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\uff0c\u6cbb\u7597\u540e\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u5927\u5c0f\u65e0\u660e\u663e\u6539\u53d8\uff0c\u884c\u9f3b\u5185\u955c\u624b\u672f\u6cbb\u7597\uff0c\u672f\u540e\u75c5\u7406\u63d0\u793a\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u3002\u56e0\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u9053\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u4e34\u5e8a\u68c0\u9a8c\u68c0\u67e5\u65e0\u7279\u5f02\u6027\uff0c\u53ef\u4e0e\u666e\u901a\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8868\u73b0\u7c7b\u4f3c\uff0c\u786e\u8bca\u9700\u4f9d\u8d56\u75c5\u7406\uff0c\u63d0\u793a\u5728\u751f\u7269\u5236\u5242\u6cbb\u7597\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u60a3\u8005\u7597\u6548\u4e0d\u4f73\u65f6\uff0c\u4e34\u5e8a\u533b\u751f\u9700\u63d0\u9ad8\u5bf9\u4e8e\u60a3\u8005\u5408\u5e76\u672c\u75c5\u7684\u8b66\u60d5\u3002.\n --- END ACTUAL ABSTRACT FOR 42402688 ---\n\n\n\u2705 PASSED (DO NOT CHANGE THESE):\n- \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" (Source: 42421946)\n- \"Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against thymic stromal lymphopoietin that inhibits initiation of the type 2 inflammatory cascade.\" (Source: 42438767)\n- \"Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury.\" (Source: 42413666)\n- \"Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice.\" (Source: 42361797)\n- \"Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation.\" (Source: 42307017)\n- \"In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps.\" (Source: 42397368)\n- \"Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production.\" (Source: 42381636)\n- \"MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR.\" (Source: 42226044)\n- \"TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor.

"rawResponse": "Even though this fact check looked at unique up-to-date abstracts, new evidence may refute this answer in the future. Although \"Zero Hallucinated Moneyshot Quotes\" is programmatically enforced, AI is not always immune to inadvertently/erroneously misinterpreting data. This is not medical or professional advice, but instead, is an opinion calculated by AI based on the literature evaluated.\n\n###[CLAIM EVALUATED AND ANSWER TO USER]\nThe claim evaluated is that Lon Protease (LONP1), fungal allergens like *Alternaria*, and alarmins (IL-33, TSLP) function within an interconnected immunometabolic network that dictates inflammatory endotypes in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis. The evidence confirms that this axis represents a critical frontier in precision medicine for airway diseases.\n\n### [ABSTRACT & REWRITTEN CLAIM]\nScientific synthesis of the provided literature confirms that fungal allergens, particularly *Alternaria alternata*, trigger airway inflammation through the release of epithelial alarmins (IL-33, TSLP), which activate Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells (ILC2s). Parallel evidence reveals that the mitochondrial protease LONP1 acts as a checkpoint for metabolic and inflammatory homeostasis, influencing cellular responses to oxidative stress. Collectively, these pathways characterize a shift toward personalized, endotype-driven asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management, highlighting the potential for novel therapeutic interventions targeting epithelial signaling and mitochondrial quality control.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nThe orchestration of airway inflammation in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis is a complex process defined by epithelial injury. Fungal proteases, such as those from *Alternaria*, disrupt mucosal barriers and initiate a cascade of alarmin release. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. These alarmins effectively prime the local microenvironment, leading to the expansion and activation of ILC2s. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation.\n\nCentral to this cellular activation are the metabolic and proteolytic checkpoints that govern inflammatory survival. Mitochondrial quality control, managed by proteins like LONP1, prevents the maladaptive release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. When these checkpoints fail, or when environmental triggers like allergens create a \"two-hit\" inflammatory state, the immune response becomes chronic and difficult to manage with conventional steroids alone. This has driven the development of targeted biologics. Tezepelumab is a human monoclonal antibody directed against thymic stromal lymphopoietin that inhibits initiation of the type 2 inflammatory cascade. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. This interplay between mitochondrial maintenance and inflammatory secretion is further regulated by intracellular iron and metabolic programs: Blocking any step of this iron-GSDMD pathway, via iron chelation or genetic ablation, abolishes IL-33 secretion, prevents group 2 innate lymphoid cell (ILC2) activation, and mitigates allergic airway inflammation and tissue damage in mice. Additionally, Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Finally, MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR.\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal allergens can initiate a \"two-hit\" inflammatory model where live spore exposure exacerbates pre-existing, OVA-primed airway damage.\n* LONP1 serves as a dual-function gatekeeper, maintaining mitochondrial DNA integrity while modulating inflammatory cell polarization in response to oxidative stress.\n* The \"residual molecular scar\" phenomenon explains why some patients with ECRS exhibit persistent mucus hyperviscosity even after successful biological blockade of IL-4/IL-13.\n* ILC2s are not merely passive responders; they exhibit subset heterogeneity (migratory, transitional, inflammatory, exhausted) that correlates with clinical severity in nasal polyps.\n* Treg/Th2 imbalance in severe asthma is reversible, as shown by benralizumab therapy restoring immune homeostasis and modifying adhesion molecule expression.\n* The gut-lung axis utilizes tryptophan metabolism to reprogram ILC2s, potentially allowing microbiome-derived postbiotics to serve as non-live therapeutic alternatives.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities."

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma."

Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation."

Previous works suggest that mitochondria are key mediators of this cardiotoxicity. Leakage of mitochondrial contents after DOX treatment, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is thought to activate apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways implicated in cardiomyocyte cell death. Whether the master mitochondrial protease, LonP1, can dampen these pathways and improve cardiomyocyte viability following DOX treatment remains unknown. Human cardiac cells (AC-16) and primary (1\u00b0) human cardiomyocytes were subjected to DOX treatment, followed by bulk RNA-Seq, RT-qPCR, qPCR, and immunoblotting to assess apoptotic signaling, inflammatory signaling, mtDNA release, and LonP1 expression, respectively. Lentivirus transduction of AC-16 cells was used to generate both knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) LonP1 cell lines to determine the effects of altered LonP1 levels on DOX-induced apoptosis and mtDNA release. Further, levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were measured using qPCR from serum samples obtained from patients undergoing DOX treatment to assess the clinical relevance of released mtDNA as a potential biomarker for the development of DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX treatment of AC-16 cells, as well as 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes, upregulated both apoptotic and inflammatory signaling in both cell models. Increased LonP1 levels were also observed under DOX treatment in AC-16 cells and 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes. Likewise, DOX increased mtDNA release from both cell lines, both prior to, and as a sequel to cell death. Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects. Furthermore, DOX treatment in cancer patients increases plasma mtDNA levels. These findings suggest LonP1 plays a protective role in the heart following DOX treatment, supporting LonP1 as a potential novel therapeutic target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity. Patterns of mtDNA release within patients undergoing DOX treatment also highlight the potential of mtDNA as a potential biomarker and target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity, justifying the need for more extensive, prospectively monitored cohort studies to expand upon these findings and statistically model mtDNA release patterns."

"abstract_text": "ID: 42416079\nTitle: The role of mitochondrial proteases in inflammation and immunity.\nAbstract: The global rise in chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disorders has intensified research to understand cellular stress response pathways that drive immune dysregulation. Mitochondria have emerged not only as central hubs of cellular metabolism but also as active modulators of immunity and inflammation. Mitochondrial proteases are essential regulators of mitochondrial protein quality control, dynamics, and stress responses. By selectively degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, they maintain mitochondrial function and bioenergetic capacity. Beyond housekeeping roles, mitochondrial proteases also influence immune signaling by modulating mitochondrial stress pathways, reactive oxygen species production, and the release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial proteases CLPXP, LONP1, i-AAA, m-AAA, as well as processing peptidase OMA1, in immune cells and inflammatory pathologies. We explore the molecular mechanisms by which these mitochondrial proteases regulate immune signaling, integrating the results from immune cells as well as other non-immune cell types, including those involved in cancer, neurodegeneration, renal injury, and other inflammatory pathologies. We explore mitochondrial proteases function as context-dependent regulators of immunometabolic signaling, with effects shaped by cell type, metabolic state, and stress conditions. Finally, we discuss emerging small molecules and drugs targeting mitochondrial proteases to highlight their potential therapeutic role in modulating inflammation. By situating mitochondrial proteases at the crossroads of immunometabolism and therapeutic intervention, this review underscores their untapped potential in the development of innovative anti-inflammatory strategies."

Although inhaled therapies remain the cornerstone of treatment, many patients continue to experience exacerbations despite optimized therapy, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Advances in understanding COPD immunopathology have identified several inflammatory pathways that may be amenable to monoclonal antibody therapies. Traditionally, COPD has been associated with neutrophilic inflammation linked to type-1 and type-3 immune responses. However, clinical trials targeting these pathways, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2, and IL-17, have largely failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. In contrast, increasing evidence supports a role for type-2 inflammation and upstream pathways in a subset of patients with COPD, including individuals without a history of asthma. Biomarkers such as blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide can help identify this endotype and guide therapeutic selection. Randomized trials of monoclonal antibodies suppressing inflammatory pathways have demonstrated reductions in exacerbations among carefully selected patients with eosinophilic COPD, leading to the recent recommendation of dupilumab and mepolizumab in international treatment guidelines. Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways. A consistent finding is that patients with moderate (nonsevere) COPD and concomitantly elevated blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide derive greater benefit from monoclonal antibodies. These developments suggest that targeted monoclonal antibody therapy may play an expanding role in COPD management, supporting the concept of earlier intervention in high-risk COPD."

Although the IL-22 receptor is primarily expressed on non-hematopoietic cells, such as airway epithelial cells, the role of IL-22BP in the pathogenesis of asthma remains uncertain. We observed that IL-22BP was upregulated in the airways of wild-type (WT) mice intranasally sensitized and challenged with house dust mite (HDM) extract. To directly elucidate the function of IL-22BP in allergic airway responses, IL-22BP-deficient (IL-22BP-/-) and WT mice were sensitized and challenged with HDM, and airway responses were systematically assessed. IL-22BP-/- mice exhibited significantly lower airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) compared to WT mice following sensitization and challenge with HDM. In contrast, eosinophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid did not differ significantly between the two groups. Similarly, levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17A, and keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) in BAL fluid were comparable between WT and IL-22BP-/- mice. Notably, IL-22 levels in lung homogenates were significantly higher in IL-22BP-/- mice than in WT mice after sensitization and challenge with HDM. These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production."

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma."

Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity."

We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity."

Evidence confirms that fungal allergens induce oxidative stress and alarmin release, while mitochondrial proteases like LonP1 act as critical checkpoints for managing cellular integrity and preventing inflammatory signaling.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nAsthma and chronic rhinosinusitis are increasingly characterized as diseases of maladaptive epithelial-immune communication. Epithelial cell sentinel activity is triggered by environmental insults, such as *Alternaria alternata*. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins are the upstream orchestrators of Type 2 inflammation. \"Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma.\" \n\nCrucially, the maintenance of epithelial and cellular health under these stressors is governed by mitochondrial homeostasis. \"Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.\" The mitochondrial protease LonP1 is central to these stress responses, as \"LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation\". In cases of mitochondrial damage, such as those exacerbated by drug or environmental stress, proteases act as a \"break\" on pro-inflammatory apoptosis. \"Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects.\" The alignment of these pathways defines a therapeutic window where targeting upstream alarmins, such as TSLP, may yield significant clinical control. \"Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal *Alternaria* allergens act not only as biochemical triggers for alarmins but also cause physical and oxidative damage that necessitates mitochondrial quality control.\n* Mitochondrial proteases (LonP1) serve as an immunometabolic checkpoint, where their dysfunction directly links mitochondrial DNA release to chronic inflammation via the cGAS-STING axis.\n* The IL-22BP decoy receptor has been shown to play a paradoxical role; while IL-22 is typically protective, \"These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production.\"\n* Biologics targeting TSLP, such as tezepelumab, are effective across diverse asthma endotypes, emphasizing the hierarchy of alarmins as \"source-directed\" intervention targets.\n* The metabolic state of ILC2s (glycolysis, lipid metabolism) is an emerging regulator of their plasticity, suggesting that metabolic modulation (e.g., via serotonin catabolism or MAOA inhibition) can alter immune responsiveness.\n* Epigenetic memory, established through DNA methylation and histone modifications in basal epithelial progenitors, explains why asthma is often a relapsing, chronic condition rather than a simple acute response to fungal allergens.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 deficiency was associated with an increase in tuft cell and ILC2 expansion, whereas ILC2 deficiency was associated with reduced tuft cell expansion, consistent with a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation and oxidative stress in the tuft cell-deficient mice. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data are consistent with the presence of a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that may help shape inflammatory responses to viral injury and aeroallergens.\n\nID: 42421946\nTitle: Innate airway immune response to fungal allergens.\nAbstract: Fungi are ubiquitous in our environment, and inhaled exposure of their spores is associated with the development of upper and lower respiratory airway diseases including asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities.\n\nID: 42421939\nTitle: New-onset allergic diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection: mechanistic hypotheses and emerging strategies for risk stratification.\nAbstract: Multinational cohort studies consistently associate SARS-CoV-2 infection with elevated incidence of allergic diseases, with hazard ratios of 2.25 for asthma and 1.23 for allergic rhinitis persisting beyond six months post-infection; whether this excess risk reflects de novo allergic sensitization or preferential unmasking of pre-existing subclinical atopy remains to be established. Yet mechanisms bridging acute viral illness to delayed allergic phenotypes remain incompletely understood. This review synthesizes recent advances across epithelial biology, immunology, and neuroimmune interactions to propose a unified mechanistic framework organized around three interconnected axes. First, epithelial injury during COVID-19 triggers passive IL-33 release while inducing active TSLP and IL-25 production. These alarmins act through mechanistically distinct pathways to converge on type 2 immune priming, which is established and reinforced by epigenetic memory in group 2 innate lymphoid cells and dendritic cells. Second, regulatory T cell depletion and, hypothetically, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell epigenetic reprogramming driven by acute interleukin-6 elevation may generate immune cell progeny with persistently altered inflammatory responsiveness, while dendritic cells adopt Th2-polarizing phenotypes that lower the threshold for allergic sensitization; the direct contribution of hematopoietic reprogramming to Th2-skewed allergic outcomes remains to be demonstrated. Third, mast cells undergo direct spike protein-mediated activation via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, and alarmin-primed mast cells establish bidirectional crosstalk with sensory neurons that amplifies neuroinflammation and links long COVID symptoms to heightened allergic susceptibility. Together, these axes define a post-infectious vulnerability window during which allergen encounters trigger exaggerated type 2 responses. Risk stratification incorporating disease severity, circulating biomarkers including immunoglobulin E and eosinophil counts, and genetic susceptibility variants may identify individuals requiring targeted surveillance, while mechanistically informed interventions such as low-dose interleukin-2, mast cell stabilizers, and alarmin-targeted biologics warrant prospective evaluation in convalescent cohorts.\n\nID: 42364850\nTitle: Biomarkers for COPD with Type 2 Inflammation.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous lung disease traditionally characterized by neutrophilic inflammation. However, a distinct Type 2 (T2) inflammatory endotype is present in 20-40% of patients. This review examines the pathophysiology and clinical consequences of T2 inflammation in COPD, focusing on established and emerging biomarkers to identify this treatable trait and guide targeted therapies. Orchestrated by Th2 cells and innate lymphoid cells, T2 inflammation involves signature cytokines IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, which drive eosinophilic tissue infiltration, mucus hypersecretion, airway hyperreactivity, and accelerated remodeling. These processes correlate with increased exacerbation risk and more rapid lung function decline. Blood eosinophil count (BEC) is the most validated and accessible biomarker, with established thresholds guiding the use of inhaled corticosteroids and biologics. Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) and serum IgE offer complementary predictive value, and combining biomarkers may enhance the identification of responders to specific targeted agents. Clinical trials of biologics, such as dupilumab and mepolizumab, have validated the therapeutic potential of targeting T2 pathways in selected populations, though variable success with other agents highlights unique aspects of COPD pathophysiology and persistent knowledge gaps. Precision medicine, informed by a nuanced interpretation of reliable T2 biomarkers, is crucial for optimizing outcomes in this significant patient subgroup.\n\nID: 42219146\nTitle: Monoclonal antibodies targeting inflammatory pathways in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Evidence and opportunities.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and heterogeneous inflammatory lung disease associated with exacerbations that drive morbidity, mortality, and health care utilization worldwide. Although inhaled therapies remain the cornerstone of treatment, many patients continue to experience exacerbations despite optimized therapy, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Advances in understanding COPD immunopathology have identified several inflammatory pathways that may be amenable to monoclonal antibody therapies. Traditionally, COPD has been associated with neutrophilic inflammation linked to type-1 and type-3 immune responses. However, clinical trials targeting these pathways, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2, and IL-17, have largely failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. In contrast, increasing evidence supports a role for type-2 inflammation and upstream pathways in a subset of patients with COPD, including individuals without a history of asthma. Biomarkers such as blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide can help identify this endotype and guide therapeutic selection. Randomized trials of monoclonal antibodies suppressing inflammatory pathways have demonstrated reductions in exacerbations among carefully selected patients with eosinophilic COPD, leading to the recent recommendation of dupilumab and mepolizumab in international treatment guidelines. Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways. A consistent finding is that patients with moderate (nonsevere) COPD and concomitantly elevated blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide derive greater benefit from monoclonal antibodies. These developments suggest that targeted monoclonal antibody therapy may play an expanding role in COPD management, supporting the concept of earlier intervention in high-risk COPD.\n\nID: 42194624\nTitle: Clinical Significance of the IL-33/sST2 Axis and Vitamin D Status in the Assessment of Disease Severity and Exacerbation Risk in Asthma: A Prospective Controlled Study.\nAbstract: Background: Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by recurrent exacerbations and variable airflow limitation. Epithelial-derived alarmins, particularly interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor ST2, play key roles in type 2 inflammation. The soluble form of ST2 (sST2) acts as a decoy receptor regulating IL-33 signaling. Vitamin D is an important immunomodulator influencing airway inflammation, but its interaction with the IL-33/ST2 pathway remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the association between serum IL-33, sST2, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels with asthma severity and exacerbation status, and to assess their potential as clinical biomarkers. Methods: This study enrolled 52 adult asthma patients (27 experiencing exacerbation and 25 in remission) and 28 healthy controls. Serum levels of IL-33 and sST2 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, while 25(OH)D concentrations were determined via electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Results: Serum sST2 levels were significantly higher and 25(OH)D levels significantly lower in asthma patients compared with controls (p < 0.000 for both). Serum IL-33 levels did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). During exacerbation, sST2 levels were markedly elevated compared with remission (p < 0.001), whereas vitamin D levels were significantly reduced (p = 0.038). A significant negative correlation was identified between sST2 and 25(OH)D (r = -0.333, p = 0.016). Conclusions: The presence of asthma and the severity of exacerbations are associated with elevated circulating sST2 levels and reduced vitamin D levels. These findings suggest a regulatory interaction between vitamin D and the IL-33/ST2 axis in airway inflammation and indicate that targeting this axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy.\n\nID: 42189350\nTitle: Epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis: mechanistic roles and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Asthma is a heterogeneous chronic inflammatory airway disease affecting over 300\u00a0million people worldwide. The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma.\n\nID: 42182319\nTitle: Influenza-induced tuft cell expansion alters ILC-mediated inflammation.\nAbstract: Tuft cells act as sentinels that amplify type 2 inflammation primarily by activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 restrains tuft cell differentiation, whereas ILC2s drive tuft cell expansion, establishing a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited reduced eosinophilic inflammation and expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation, type 2 suppression and oxidative stress. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data identify a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that helps maintain a balanced inflammatory environment in response to viral injury and aeroallergens.\n\nID: 42121933\nTitle: Eosinophil-Epithelial Cell Crosstalk at Mucosal Barriers: From Homeostatic Regulation to Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that reside constitutively within mucosal tissues, where they engage in bidirectional communication with the epithelial cells lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy.\n\nID: 42110556\nTitle: Tezepelumab: redefining TSLP blockade in severe asthma through mechanistic precision and translational pharmacology.\nAbstract: Approximately 40%-50% of patients prescribed GINA Step 4-5 ICS/LABA therapy remain inadequately controlled, and existing biologics are restricted by phenotypic eligibility criteria that exclude the substantial type 2-low patient population. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived alarmin cytokine that functions as a key upstream orchestrator of both type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory pathways in asthma pathogenesis. Tezepelumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, represents the first biologic approved for severe asthma without phenotype- or biomarker-restricted eligibility, including type 2-low disease, with the caveat that the magnitude of benefit is somewhat smaller in T2-low patients. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of tezepelumab's molecular pharmacology, structural basis of target engagement, clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, pivotal clinical trial evidence, safety data, and regulatory positioning. We systematically evaluate tezepelumab's mechanistic rationale, therapeutic efficacy, biomarker correlations, and real-world implementation considerations, including pharmacoeconomic and access barriers. Furthermore, we critically discuss the current limitations of clinical trial evidence, population selection biases, real-world applicability concerns, and the need for long-term outcome data. Future research directions encompassing predictive biomarker development, expansion into non-asthma indications, real-world evidence generation, and advanced mechanistic studies are outlined. Tezepelumab exemplifies precision respiratory medicine by targeting upstream inflammatory cascades and establishes a paradigm for next-generation asthma therapeutics.\n\nID: 42097684\nTitle: Azithromycin enhances epithelial antiviral immunity in uncontrolled asthma: results from the AZIMUNE randomized controlled trial.\nAbstract: Viral respiratory infections are the leading trigger of asthma exacerbations and impaired epithelial type I and III interferon responses may contribute to more severe exacerbations. Azithromycin reduces exacerbations clinically, but its effects on epithelial antiviral immunity remain unclear. This study investigated whether azithromycin treatment enhances airway epithelial antiviral responses and modulates alarmin concentration in patients with uncontrolled asthma. In the investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled AZIMUNE trial, 40 adults with uncontrolled asthma were randomized (1:1) to azithromycin (500\u2005mg, three times/week) or placebo (500\u2005mg/week) for 12\u2005weeks. Bronchial epithelial cells were obtained via bronchoscopy at baseline and after week 12, and cultured and infected ex vivo with rhinovirus. Protein levels of IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03bb, alarmins (IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)), and proinflammatory cytokines were quantified. Azithromycin significantly increased rhinovirus-induced concentration of IFN-\u03b2 (p=0.047) and IFN-\u03bb (p=0.013) in azithromycin group (n=16) compared with baseline, whereas no change was seen in the placebo group (n=16). Azithromycin treatment also reduced IL-33 concentration (p=0.001), while TSLP levels were unaffected. Clinical outcomes improved numerically in the azithromycin group, but differences versus placebo were not statistically significant. Azithromycin enhances epithelial antiviral immunity and attenuates IL-33 concentration in response to rhinoviral infection in asthma. The dual immunomodulatory effect of azithromycin supports its role as adjunctive therapy to prevent virus-induced exacerbations.\n\nID: 42061467\nTitle: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells: Where are we 15 years out?\nAbstract: Over the past 2 decades, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) have emerged as critical early responders in immune responses, orchestrating inflammation through cytokine production independent of antigen specificity. Early after their discovery, group 2 ILCs (ILC2s) were found to produce high levels of IL5 and IL13 upon stimulation by epithelial-derived alarmins IL33, IL25, and TSLP. Since then, a robust amount of literature has emerged that places ILC2s central to type 2 inflammatory diseases, including rhinosinusitis and asthma. Recent work continues to rapidly expand our knowledge of how ILC2s are modulated and contribute to immune disease and maintain homeostasis. This review will focus on recent updates to our understanding of ILC2s in the context of neural and endocrine modulation, memory/trained immunity, cellular fate/plasticity, and adaptive type 2 responses.\n\nID: 42050607\nTitle: Fungal exposure exacerbates allergen-driven asthma in a two-hit mouse model.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND: Severe and exacerbation-prone asthma is often triggered by environmental fungi, yet the immunopathologic impact of live spore exposure remains unclear. Traditional murine models using fungal extracts do not reflect the complexity of inhaled spores during real-world exposures. We sought to establish a clinically relevant model of fungal-driven asthma exacerbation and to define its inflammatory, structural, and molecular features. METHODS: Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice were challenged intratracheally with live Aspergillus fumigatus or Alternaria alternata spores; spore-only and OVA-only groups served as controls. Airway inflammation and remodeling were assessed by histology and morphometric analysis, including epithelial and peribronchial smooth muscle thickness. Pulmonary mechanics were evaluated using invasive lung function testing. Immune responses were characterized by flow cytometry and cytokine quantification in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) levels were measured to evaluate matrix-remodeling\u2013associated responses. RESULTS: Live spore exposure alone caused modest inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. In contrast, spore challenge in OVA-primed mice elicited a markedly amplified phenotype with dense peribronchial/perivascular infiltrates, extensive goblet-cell metaplasia, epithelial disruption, increased epithelial and smooth muscle thickness, and excessive mucus accumulation. Lung function demonstrated substantial increases in airway resistance and lung elastance, consistent with an exacerbation-like state. Co-challenged mice showed increased frequencies of IL-4\u207a CD4\u207a T cells, an early increase in an ILC2-like Lin\u207bCD44\u207aCD25\u207a population, and elevated IL-4, IL-13, and IL-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum, indicating a mixed type 2 and type 17 cytokine milieu. TIMP1 was robustly increased and was associated with the most marked inflammatory, remodeling, and physiologic abnormalities. This two-hit model recapitulates key hallmarks of fungus-associated exacerbation-like allergic airway disease and provides a translational platform for testing interventions and evaluating remodeling-linked biomarkers.\n\nID: 42032301\nTitle: IL-9 and Blimp-1 protect the transcriptional identity of group 2 innate lymphocytes in allergic asthma.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is driven by type 2 immune responses, including type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although ILC2s are activated by the tissue alarmins interleukin (IL)-33 and IL-25, these signals do not intrinsically enforce type 2 identity and the mechanisms that maintain type 2 cytokine expression remain unclear. Here we show that allergen-induced IL-33 and IL-25 rapidly induce IL-9, which in turn upregulates the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1 in ILC2s. Blimp-1 sustains type 2 immunity by directly repressing type 1 inflammatory programs, including expression of interferon-\u03b3 and tumor necrosis factor. Deletion of Blimp-1 in ILC2s increased type 1 cytokine production and reduced IL-5 and IL-13 expression, eosinophil recruitment and mucus production in the lung. In contrast, IL-9 expression was enhanced in the absence of Blimp-1, leading to increased mast cell recruitment. Together, these findings identify Blimp-1 as a key regulator of ILC2 transcriptional fidelity that stabilizes type 2 inflammation while constraining divergent inflammatory programs during allergic responses.\n\nID: 41939213\nTitle: Targeting the Epithelial Alarmin Axis with Biomedical Nanoparticles: A New Frontier in Allergic Asthma Therapy.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease driven by type 2 immune responses, whose pathogenesis correlates with the release of epithelial alarm proteins-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-25 (IL-25), and interleukin-33 (IL-33)-by airway epithelial cells following barrier injury. This paper systematically reviews the cutting-edge applications of nanoparticles (NPs) in targeting the epithelial alarmin signaling axis and its downstream immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, Th2 cells, and regulatory T cells. By systematically reviewing research progress on nanoparticles in allergic asthma treatment, this review provides crucial theoretical support and technical frameworks for developing precise, efficient, and less-side-effect asthma therapies. It offers forward-looking guidance for advancing asthma treatment from laboratory to clinical translation.\n\nID: 41922900\nTitle: Tim-3 agonist restrains ILC2 function and attenuates airway hyperreactivity via NLK pathway.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is promoted by type 2 inflammation involving cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, with group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) playing a key pathogenic role. Here, we identify T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) as a negative regulator of ILC2 function. Tim-3 expression is upregulated in activated pulmonary ILC2s, and engagement with Tim-3 agonists inhibits ILC2 activation, proliferation, and type 2 cytokine production via the Nemo Like Kinase (NLK) signaling pathway and suppression of mitochondrial metabolism. In vivo, Tim-3 agonists alleviate airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and inflammation in both IL-33- and Alternaria alternata-induced AHR models, while ILC2-specific Tim-3 deletion exacerbates AHR. These results are confirmed in human ILC2s and humanized mice, supporting the translational relevance. Our findings establish Tim-3 as an inhibitory checkpoint for ILC2s and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target in allergic asthma and other ILC2-mediated diseases.\n\nID: 41904701\nTitle: STAT6-IP-dependent inhibition of type 2 innate and Th2 adaptive immunity in the murine lung.\nAbstract: Type 2 airway inflammation is one of the main characteristics of allergen-induced asthma. Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity.\n\nID: 41904357\nTitle: Current and Emerging Biologic Therapies for Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Severe asthma is a heterogeneous disorder characterized by persistent symptoms, frequent exacerbations, and corticosteroid dependence despite optimized therapy. Seven monoclonal antibodies are currently approved, targeting immunoglobulin E (IgE;\u00a0omalizumab), interleukin\u00a0(IL)-5 or IL-5 receptor \u03b1 (mepolizumab, reslizumab, depemokimab, benralizumab), IL-4 receptor \u03b1 (dupilumab), and the epithelial alarmin thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP;\u00a0tezepelumab). These therapies have demonstrated substantial reductions in exacerbation rates and oral corticosteroid use, along with improvements in lung function and patient-reported outcomes. Safety profiles are generally favorable across populations. Key predictors of response include blood eosinophil counts, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, and phenotype-specific biomarkers. Despite these advances, unmet needs remain. Current biologics only partially address type 2-low, neutrophilic, and mixed granulocytic phenotypes, as well as airway remodeling and persistent exacerbations in type 2-high patients. Emerging strategies aim to overcome these limitations by targeting upstream alarmins (TSLP and IL-33), dual or trispecific cytokine pathways, and IgE-producing B cells. Novel Fc-engineered and dual-receptor anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies enhance the magnitude and durability of IgE suppression. Multi-target constructs, including bispecific and trispecific agents, simultaneously block overlapping type 2 and non-type 2 pathways, which could improve outcomes in heterogeneous and refractory populations. Preclinical and early-phase clinical studies suggest that these approaches may provide disease-modifying effects and support biomarker-guided personalized therapy. This review summarizes the current landscape of approved biologics and the rationale for next-generation therapies in severe asthma. It highlights mechanistic insights, clinical efficacy, and future directions for precision-targeted treatment strategies.\n\nID: 41898409\nTitle: The Architecture of Deep Phenotyping in Asthma: Integrating Molecular, Metabolic, and Neuro-Hormonal Endotypes.\nAbstract: Asthma is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous syndrome where traditional management fails, particularly given spirometry's limitations in assessing small airway dysfunction. This review synthesizes the transition from clinical phenotyping to deep molecular endotyping, establishing a framework for precision medicine. We highlight the insufficiency of absolute eosinophil counts, proposing eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) as superior activation metrics. Furthermore, we explore Type 2 drivers (IL-4/IL-13, periostin) and epithelial alarmins like TSLP. Beyond classical immunology, the text describes metabolic dysregulation, specifically asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in obese-asthma phenotypes where nitric oxide synthase uncoupling promotes oxidative stress. We also analyze YKL-40 and surfactant protein D (SP-D) as markers of remodeling and barrier permeability, alongside microRNAs-specifically miR-21-in corticosteroid resistance. We conclude that managing refractory asthma requires shifting from reactive symptom control to an integrated analysis of multi-omic biomarkers. Establishing this comprehensive molecular profile via specialized centers is fundamental for addressing current diagnostic limitations, selecting biological therapies, and modifying the disease trajectory through an endotype-driven strategy addressing inflammatory, metabolic, and structural pathologies.\n\nID: 41885394\nTitle: Reframing paucigranulocytic asthma through genetic endotyping: a hypothesis-generating focus on the 17q21 rs7216389 locus.\nAbstract: Non-T2 asthma is currently defined by missing parameters, such as low blood eosinophils and FeNO, rather than positively identifiable mechanistic features. This definition overlaps with paucigranulocytic asthma (PGA). However, T2-biomarkers fluctuate over time, especially during glucocorticoid therapy, leading to potential over-diagnosis of T2-low asthma. Advancing beyond traditional endotyping is required for precision medicine. Alarmin-driven asthma [interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25] can drive inflammation even without high T2-markers, but these are difficult to measure clinically. Genetic testing, such as the rs7216389 SNP (17q21 locus, GSDMB/ORMDL3), offers a stable alternative. The T allele is linked to childhood-onset asthma, viral-induced alarmin release, and epithelial dysfunction. Notably, carriers of the T allele are more likely to respond to allergen immunotherapy (AIT). This genetic marker is not subjected to treatment-dependent modification and segregates with both T2-driven and alarmin-driven asthma. We propose that rs7216389 genotyping could be explored, within a treatable trait framework, to improve the mechanistic characterization of paucigranulocytic or low-biomarker asthma. While current data are associative, this one-time genetic assessment might contribute to research-driven stratification of \"hidden\" T2- or alarmin-leaning endotypes, potentially guiding the use of AIT and upstream biologics like anti-TSLP.\n\nID: 41817776\nTitle: Eosinophilic Esophagitis: Mechanisms of Disease and Approach to Treatment.\nAbstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review examines the underlying mechanisms of disease pathogenesis in eosinophilic esophagitis with the aim of identifying how current and emerging therapies target specific pathologic pathways. RECENT FINDINGS: Over the past three decades, the incidence and prevalence of EoE have risen significantly and it is now a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in both children and adults. Recent studies highlight how genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and abnormal type 2 immune responses interact to contribute to EoE pathogenesis. Key mechanisms include the release of epithelial alarmins, elevated type 2 cytokine signaling, and the recruitment of immune effector cells, all of which lead to chronic inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrostenosis. Current treatments include dietary management, proton pump inhibitors, swallowed corticosteroids, and dupilumab, the first approved biologic. New biologics and agents targeting the epithelial barrier, IL-13, TSLP, and related pathways offer hope for more personalized, mechanism-based therapies. Current therapies for EoE aim to reduce inflammation and prevent fibrostenotic complications, but challenges such as treatment nonresponse and long-term disease progression still exist. Mechanism-based therapies, particularly biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways and barrier dysfunction, represent a promising frontier for more personalized treatment strategies. Understanding the interplay of immune signaling and epithelial dysfunction can inform the development of next-generation therapies with the potential to transform outcomes in EoE.\n\nID: 41813615\nTitle: A Link Between Allergy and Hematological Malignancies? Focus on Possible Mechanisms and the Potential Role of Biological Therapies.\nAbstract: Immune dysregulation has been widely recognized in the international literature as an underlying condition for hematological malignancies and allergic disorders. This commonality has led researchers to study the potential association, positive or negative, between blood cancers and allergy, but the results remain unclear. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying allergic inflammation appear to have dual effects on immune surveillance, potentially positively or negatively influencing carcinogenesis in solid tumors. The same mechanisms may also play a role in the genesis of hematological malignancies, but there is little evidence in the literature to support this. In our review, we explored the possible link between the immune pathways involved in allergic responses and the mechanisms underlying hematological malignancies, focusing on Th2 responses, the activity of inflammatory cells, cytokines, and the emerging role of alarmins. Furthermore, our review aims to assess the association between biologics and the risk of neoplastic disease, with a focus on hematological malignancies. A deeper understanding of shared immune dysregulation pathways and the interactions between various cell types could lead to new preventive or therapeutic approaches for patients with hematological malignancies. Understanding the complex roles of various cellular and molecular mediators of Th2 inflammation in stimulating or inhibiting tumor growth could be a key goal of future research, paving the way for innovative targeted therapies, especially at a time when immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapies are increasingly important and effective.\n\nID: 41780570\nTitle: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells program pulmonary adaptive immunity via granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and CD4+ TH2 cells are the cores of type 2 immunity in the lungs and play central roles in the pathology of asthma. ILC2s rapidly produce innate type 2 cytokines in response to environmental allergens, whereas TH2 cells provide adaptive antigen-specific immune memory. However, little is known regarding the interaction between the innate and adaptive arms of type 2 immunity. We investigated the roles of ILC2s in establishing adaptive antigen-specific immunity in a mouse model of human asthma. ILC2-deficient mice were intranasally sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) using Alternaria extract as an adjuvant. Innate and adaptive responses were assessed by flow cytometry and by intranasal OVA recall challenge. The underlying mechanisms were investigated using gene-deficient mice, in vivo antibody neutralization, adoptive transfer of ILC2s, and in vitro culture systems. Exposure of naive mice to the fungal allergen Alternaria increased the number of lung dendritic cells (DCs), activated migratory DCs, and promoted DC production of the TH2-recruiting chemokines CCL17 and CCL22; these responses were significantly suppressed in ILC2-deficient mice. Consequently, ILC2-deficient mice failed to develop TH2-type tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells in the lungs and antigen-induced type 2 airway inflammation, which were restored by adoptive transfer of lung ILC2s. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor produced by ILC2s was indispensable in promoting these DC responses and development of lung tissue-resident memory T cells. ILC2s license lung DCs via granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to prime and recruit TH2 cells, establishing antigen-specific T-cell immune memory in the lungs.\n\nID: 41763365\nTitle: IL-33 enhances responsiveness and mast cell mediator release in isolated human small airways.\nAbstract: Concomitant exposure to IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25 augments antigen-induced contractions of isolated human small bronchi through enhanced mast cell reactivity. We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol. In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus. IL-33, but not TSLP or IL-25, enhances bronchoconstriction in human small bronchi by amplifying mast cell activation and mediator release in response to both antigen and hyperosmolar challenge.\n\nID: 41752128\nTitle: Mucosal Remodeling in Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps: The Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells and Reprogramming Under IL-4R\u03b1 Blockade.\nAbstract: The nasal mucosa functions as a highly specialized barrier that integrates epithelial, stromal, neuronal, and immune signals to maintain homeostasis and mount rapid responses to environmental challenges. Among its resident immune populations, innate lymphoid cells-particularly type 2 ILCs (ILC2s)-play a pivotal role in orchestrating type 2 inflammation driven by epithelial-derived alarmins such as IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP. Upon activation, ILC2s release IL-5 and IL-13, promoting eosinophilic inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia, mucus hypersecretion, and tissue remodeling, all central features of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and severe allergic rhinitis. Recent advances have revealed substantial ILC plasticity, the presence of nasal-resident ILC progenitors, and the influence of metabolic and neuroimmune cues in shaping ILC activation and persistence. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4R\u03b1, has emerged as a highly effective therapy, providing unique mechanistic insight into the epithelial-ILC axis. By blocking IL-4/IL-13 signaling, dupilumab dampens ILC2 effector functions, reduces IL-5/IL-13 output, restores epithelial barrier integrity, interrupts alarmin-driven amplification loops, and rebalances innate and adaptive immune networks. Clinical and translational studies indicate that baseline ILC2 phenotypes-particularly inflammatory ILC2 subsets-may predict treatment responsiveness, positioning ILC profiling as a promising biomarker strategy. This review synthesizes current knowledge of ILC classification, plasticity, progenitor biology, and epithelial-ILC communication in the nasal mucosa, while integrating emerging evidence on dupilumab-mediated immunomodulation. Collectively, these insights highlight ILCs as central drivers of type 2 inflammation and key targets for precision immunomodulation, offering a framework for personalized treatment approaches in CRSwNP and allergic rhinitis.\n\nID: 41712151\nTitle: Cross-Talk between Neurons and Immune Cells in Pruritus: from Mechanisms To Medicines.\nAbstract: PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Chronic pruritus (CP) is among the most distressing symptoms and has a complex pathophysiology. This review aims to describe the mediators and mechanisms of neuroimmune crosstalk\u2014a term referring the bidirectional interactions between the nervous and immune systems that underly itch pathogenesis and chronicity. RECENT FINDINGS: Type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-31) directly activate pruriceptive neurons, resulting in itch sensation and nerve fiber sensitization via TRPV1/TRPA1, whereas keratinocyte-derived alarmins (TSLP and IL-33) amplify neural activation. Periostin, an emerging downstream mediator, binds integrin \u03b1V\u03b23 on neurons and induces macrophage IL-31 release, representing a link between immune and neural pathways. BNP, another emerging mediator that is co-expressed with IL-31, facilitates itch signaling in the spinal cord and induces keratinocyte production of itch mediators, highlighting its integral role in neuroimmune signaling. CP arises from a complex interplay between the immune system, sensory neurons, and keratinocytes. The success of therapeutic advances targeting cytokines, neuropeptides, and their receptors in recent years have confirmed the importance of understanding these complex underlying networks.\n\nID: 41707470\nTitle: OPTN knockout alleviates OVA-induced airway inflammation in a mouse model of asthma.\nAbstract: Asthma is a common inflammatory disease of the respiratory system. This study aimed to investigate the effect of optineurin (OPTN) gene knockout on airway inflammation in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mouse model. An OVA-induced chronic asthma model was established in 6-8-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type and OPTN knockout mice. Lung inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia were respectively evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. Levels of epithelial-derived alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, and IL-25), Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13), and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). To further assess autophagic flux, additional experimental groups treated with the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine were included, and autophagy-related markers were examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Histological analyses demonstrated that OPTN deficiency markedly attenuated OVA-induced asthma-like airway inflammation, as evidenced by reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, basement membrane thickening, goblet cell hyperplasia, and mucus secretion. ELISA results showed that serum IgE levels, the concentrations of alarmins and inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were significantly decreased in the OPTN\u207b/\u207b group compared with the wild-type group. Furthermore, immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses revealed altered expression of the autophagy-related markers LC3 and p62 in OPTN-deficient lungs. The chloroquine treatment experiment suggested that OPTN might be involved in the regulation of autophagy in the lungs, but the relevant difference did not reach statistical significance. OPTN knockout effectively alleviates asthma-like airway inflammation, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with the regulation of autophagy.\n\nID: 41706041\nTitle: Investigational agents targeting alarmins for asthma treatment: insights and progress from phase I and II trials.\nAbstract: Asthma is a chronic and heterogeneous airway disease in which epithelial-derived cytokines - TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25-act as upstream drivers of inflammation. Over the past decade, these alarmin cytokines have become key therapeutic targets, leading to the development of a new generation of biologics designed to intervene early in the inflammatory cascade. This review discusses findings from Phase I and II clinical trials investigating anti-alarmin therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and novel delivery platforms targeting TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and recent conference proceedings to summarize safety, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy outcomes, as well as emerging biomarkers and genetic insights related to treatment response. Early-phase studies confirm that alarmin blockade is safe, biologically relevant, and efficacious for improving airway inflammation across multiple asthma phenotypes. TSLP inhibition is an approved and clinically available therapy, while IL-33 and IL-25 remain in earlier development. Future progress will rely on optimized airway-focused dosing strategies such as biomarker-guided patient selection and genetic profiling, to achieve optimal personalized therapy. Anti-alarmin biologics are poised to redefine asthma management by addressing inflammation at the epithelial origin of common asthma triggers and advancing clinical care toward precision medicine.\n\nID: 42452466\nTitle: Efficacy and Safety of IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R Targeted Biologic Therapies in Type 2 Inflammatory Airway Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) frequently coexist and are associated with type 2 inflammation, leading to poor symptom control and high healthcare burden. Biologic therapies targeting IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R have shown efficacy in type 2 inflammatory asthma and CRSwNP, but comprehensive evidence on their efficacy, safety, and research trends is limited. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab in patients with type 2 inflammatory asthma and/or CRSwNP. Primary outcomes included lung function (FEV1), symptom control (ACQ, SNOT-22, nasal polyp score), and serious adverse events (SAEs). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool. Publication bias was evaluated with funnel plots and Trim-and-Fill analysis. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify publication trends and emerging research directions. Results: A total of 23 RCTs involving 8758 participants were included. Biologic therapy was not associated with a significant increase in serious adverse events (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.89-1.50). Compared with control treatment, biologics significantly improved FEV1 (MD = 100.67 mL, 95% CI: 65.94-135.40) and ACQ scores (MD = -0.40, 95% CI: -0.54 to -0.25). In patients with CRSwNP and comorbid asthma, biologics also improved SNOT-22 scores (MD = -13.16, 95% CI: -24.85 to -1.47) and nasal polyp scores (MD = -1.31, 95% CI: -1.95 to -0.68). Dupilumab trials showed larger reductions in nasal polyp score than IL-5/IL-5R-targeted trials, although this indirect comparison should be interpreted cautiously. Bibliometric analysis indicated increasing research attention to upstream epithelial targets such as TSLP. Conclusions: Both IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R-targeted biologics are effective and well-tolerated in type 2 inflammatory airway diseases. IL-4R\u03b1 inhibition shows favorable upper-airway outcomes in CRSwNP with asthma, but head-to-head trials are needed to clarify its comparative efficacy relative to IL-5/IL-5R-targeted therapies. Emerging research directions are shifting toward upstream epithelial alarmin antibodies.\n\nID: 42448002\nTitle: The PEACE-24 Study: Tezepelumab Improves Functional Exercise Capacity and Asthma Control in Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Tezepelumab is effective in improving disease control and reducing exacerbations, regardless of the T2 inflammatory profile 1-5. With its ability to mitigate bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion, improve respiratory function, and modulate the inflammatory response 1,6,7, this drug could play a role in increasing exercise tolerance. Our study aims to evaluate the improvement in exercise tolerance, a less-explored aspect, in patients treated with Tezepelumab using the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Patients treated with Tezepelumab at Respiratory and Allergy Clinic of Genoa Metropolitan Hospital were included in the study. Patients were assessed at baseline and at 24 weeks using spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide measurement, asthma control and quality of life questionnaires (ACT, AQLQ, SNOT22, RAPP), and 6MWT. Pre- and post-treatment data were analyzed using the paired samples t-test and Spearman's correlation. After 24 weeks, a significant improvement was observed in the distance covered in the 6MWT, both in absolute terms (409m vs. 478m, p=0.031) and in terms of % of the predicted theoretical value (73% vs. 82%, p=0.034), with improvement in pre-test dyspnea (Borg 3.55 vs. 1.47, p=0.002) and the average score of the domains related to physical exercise in the AQLQ questionnaire (4.24 vs. 5.80, p=0.01). There was also a positive correlation between improvement in FEV1 and distance covered (\u03c1=0.658, p=0.028). Tezepelumab, with its effects, increases exercise tolerance in patients with severe asthma, highlighting this as a potentially treatable trait to consider in the management of such patients.\n\nID: 42445462\nTitle: Tezepelumab attenuates exertional symptom burden in severe asthma: insights from a real-world cohort.\nAbstract: Exertional symptom burden is an important yet insufficiently characterised component of morbidity in severe asthma. Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), reduces exacerbations and improves asthma control across phenotypes, but its effects on patient-reported exertional symptoms and physical activity limitation remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective study in 24 adults with severe asthma initiating tezepelumab per GINA criteria. The 6-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6), Asthma Control Test (ACT), and mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) were administered at baseline and at 3 (n\u2009=\u200924), 6 (n\u2009=\u200920), and 12 months (n\u2009=\u200916). Pre-specified exercise-related items were analysed alongside total scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. At baseline, patients had poorly controlled asthma (median ACQ-6 3.50/6, ACT 11/25, miniAQLQ 3.53/6) and moderate-to-severe airflow limitation (median FEV\u2081 57% predicted). Total scores improved progressively over 12 months, with changes at months 6 and 12 exceeding the respective minimal clinically important differences. Exertion-related items showed consistent improvements at least as pronounced as total score changes. The largest improvements were in strenuous activity limitation (miniAQLQ Q12: median change +2.0, p\u2009=\u20090.006) and overall activity limitation (ACQ-6 Q3: median change -2.5, p\u2009=\u20090.008). In severe asthma, Tezepelumab is associated with progressive attenuation of exertional symptoms over 12 months of real-world treatment. These associative findings are consistent with mechanistic data and support further prospective studies.\n\nID: 42445460\nTitle: Routine lipid profiles in allergic disease: a mini review.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases are traditionally interpreted through epithelial barrier dysfunction, type 2 immune activation, and downstream inflammatory mediators, whereas routine serum lipid measures have usually been considered markers of cardiometabolic risk. However, emerging clinical and mechanistic evidence suggests that high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) may provide additional information about systemic inflammatory and metabolic contexts in allergic diseases. This review synthesizes current evidence on routine lipid profiles across asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, with emphasis on their clinical associations, disease-specific differences, and potential immune mechanisms. Asthma currently provides the strongest case for clinical relevance, with lipid abnormalities linked to disease burden, metabolic complexity, and heterogeneous clinical outcomes. In atopic dermatitis, circulating lipid measures appear less central than epidermal barrier lipid abnormalities, although they may still reflect selected metabolic or cardiovascular risk contexts. In allergic rhinitis, clinical associations remain inconsistent, but mechanistic studies suggest that lipoprotein function, particularly HDL-related regulation of eosinophils, antigen-presenting cells, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells, may be biologically relevant. Overall, this review presents routine lipid profiles as accessible contextual markers that may help connect systemic metabolism with allergic immune regulation, refine clinical stratification, and generate hypotheses about lipid-immune crosstalk. Future studies integrating routine lipid panels with functional lipoprotein assays, tissue-level immunology, and longitudinal outcome data are needed to determine whether these measures can become useful tools in allergic disease management.\n\nID: 42421499\nTitle: Cytokine signalling in vaginal epithelial cells: mechanistic insights into epithelial immunity and inflammatory milieu in vulvovaginal candidiasis.\nAbstract: Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is one of the most prevalent mucosal infections worldwide, experienced by women throughout their reproductive years. Candida albicans is involved in 85-95% of all VVC cases and given the stronger correlation between the severity of epithelial cytokine responses, rather than fungal burden, with VVC symptoms, this disease is fundamentally immunopathological. VVC is believed to be initiated by a cascade of events that leads to vaginal epithelial cell (VEC) damage. These cells act as immune sentinels and can detect fungal morphotypes as well as virulence factors through diverse pattern recognition receptors, such as TLRs, C-type lectin receptors, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors. Recognition of C. albicans can trigger complex intracellular signalling cascades in VECs that involve NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and activator protein-1, which culminate in robust production of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and alarmins. The hypha-specific peptide toxin, candidalysin can also initiate VEC membrane damage, which leads to nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat family and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome assembly in the VECs. The resulting inflammatory events lead to robust recruitment of neutrophils, which, although they fail to effectively clear the fungus, add to even more tissue damage, contributing to the severity of VVC symptoms. This review synthesises the molecular- and cellular-based evidence to clarify the role of VEC-related immune activation in the development of VVC and to provide a new understanding that VVC signs and symptoms are predominantly immune-related.\n\nID: 42419778\nTitle: Fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia: from inflammation to fibrosis and therapeutic implications.\nAbstract: Chronic eosinophilic pneumonia is a rare inflammatory lung disease that typically responds to systemic glucocorticoids but is frequently complicated by relapses and treatment-related toxicity. In recent years, monoclonal antibodies targeting the interleukin-5 (IL-5) pathway have emerged as effective glucocorticoid-sparing therapies in relapsing or glucocorticoid-dependent chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Alongside these advances, a substantial proportion of patients develops progressive fibrotic changes over time, challenging the traditional view of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia as a fully reversible condition. This narrative review summarises current clinical evidence on the use of anti-IL-5/IL-5 receptor subunit \u03b1 biologicals in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, examines the emerging phenotype of fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and discusses the mechanistic links between eosinophilic inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. We also review experimental and clinical data implicating eosinophils, type 2 cytokines, epithelial alarmins and extracellular traps in fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, providing a biological rationale for a continuum from inflammation to irreversible lung remodelling. Available data on the use of IL-5-targeted therapies in fibrotic disease are limited, and no prospective studies have specifically addressed this patient population. Conversely, antifibrotic agents such as nintedanib have demonstrated efficacy in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases but have been rarely studied in eosinophilic lung disorders. We propose a phenotype-adapted therapeutic framework in which sustained control of eosinophilic inflammation aims to prevent fibrotic progression in early disease, while antifibrotic therapy may be considered in patients with established or progressive fibrosis. Fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia thus represents a clinical entity at the crossroads between inflammation and fibrosis, requiring individualised management strategies and dedicated future studies.\n\nID: 42419394\nTitle: New Pharmaceutical Options for Patients with Allergic and Asthma-Related Diseases: Balancing Effectiveness and Safety in Selection of Specific Therapies.\nAbstract: Targeted immunotherapies have expanded treatment options for allergic and immunologic diseases by enabling selective modulation of key inflammatory pathways. However, their growing use necessitates careful evaluation of safety profiles and long-term risks. This review examines the mechanisms of action, safety considerations, and clinical implications of emerging monoclonal antibody and small-molecule therapies used in allergic and immunologic diseases. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE, IL-5/IL-5R\u03b1, IL-4R\u03b1, IL-13, TSLP, and IL-31 demonstrate efficacy across a range of atopic conditions, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. They are generally well tolerated, though associated with adverse events such as anaphylaxis, conjunctivitis, eosinophilia, and herpes virus reactivation. Small-molecule therapies, including Janus kinase (JAK), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors, expand treatment options by targeting intracellular signaling pathways and offering broader immunomodulatory effects. Among these, JAK inhibitors carry boxed warnings for major adverse cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancy, and viral reactivation. Second-generation BTK inhibitors and PDE4 inhibitors demonstrate comparatively favorable safety profiles, though tolerability could remain an issue for PDE4 inhibitors. Despite promising short-term safety and efficacy, long-term risks still pose a question given limited longitudinal data. The increasing complexity of therapeutic selection, underscores the need for shared decision-making and long term surveillance to ensure successful therapeutic outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.\n\nID: 42418237\nTitle: Predicting the course of chronic rhinosinusitis in young children-5-year prospective study.\nAbstract: Predicting the course of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and assessing the clinical relevance of IgE-mediated sensitization to house dust mite (HDM) in preschool children remain challenging. We aimed to identify early clinical characteristics of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR-HDM) in preschoolers and to determine predictors of CRS persistence. We conducted a 5-year prospective follow-up of a well-defined multi-omics cohort of 133 children aged 4-8\u2009years with CRS symptoms, with or without IgE-mediated sensitization to HDM. We developed a multivariate logistic regression model with clinical and multi-omics variables assessed at preschool age to predict CRS persistence and AR-HDM diagnosis at school age. Among 117 children who completed the 5-year follow-up, CRS persisted in 35%. Higher baseline SN-5 (Sinus and Nasal Quality of Life Survey) scores (>3.6 points) significantly increased the risk of persistent CRS (OR\u2009=\u20093.41; 95% CI: 1.50-7.76; p\u2009=\u2009.003). ILC-2 cells were detected more frequently in nasal samples from preschool children with persistent CRS. Independent predictors of AR-HDM included a history of food allergy in infancy (OR\u2009=\u20093.87; 1.10-13.60; 0.034) and prominent allergic symptoms at baseline (allergy-related SN-5 domain ratio \u226521%), (OR\u2009=\u20093.96; 1.20-13.10; 0.025). The combined presence of these factors additionally improves the prediction of AR-HDM. Higher SN-5 score and presence of ILC-2 in the nasal mucosa increase the risk of persistence of CRS. The co-occurrence of a relatively higher allergy domain of SN-5 score and a history of food allergy facilitates prediction of HDM allergy in preschoolers, enabling the timely initiation of allergen immunotherapy in allergic children.

The advent of in vitro diagnostic methods, particularly those based on molecular allergology, has revolutionized the diagnostic approach to inhalant allergies by enabling precise identification of sensitizing allergens at the molecular level. This review presents an analysis of the current status of in vitro diagnostics in respiratory allergy to plants and molds, with emphasis on molecular diagnostics for key allergens from trees (e.g., birch/Betula verrucosa), grasses (Poaceae family), weeds (e.g.mugwort/Artemisia vulgaris, ragweed/Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and molds (e.g. Alternaria, Aspergillus). We discuss major allergenic proteins, diagnostic tools, implications for precision medicine, and integration with precision immunotherapy.\n\nID: 42405352\nTitle: AI-based prediction of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease using nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles.\nAbstract: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a distinct asthma endotype marked by asthma, nasal polyposis, and respiratory reactions to COX-1 inhibitors. Early and accurate identification of AERD remains clinically challenging. We sought to develop and externally validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model that uses nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles to accurately identify AERD. mRNA gene expression profiles were obtained from nasal epithelial brushing in 71 subjects with AERD and 57 without AERD. AI models were trained to predict an AERD diagnosis in a training cohort using gene expression alone, which was then validated on an independent validation cohort. The clinical data analysis revealed noteworthy findings of AERD: 29% reported cutaneous manifestations during nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reactions, 50% experienced symptoms related to alcohol consumption, and 59% required 2 or more sinus surgeries. AERD was predicted with an accuracy of 93% in the training cohort and 83% in the independent validation cohort. The top AERD-predicting genes included IL1RL1 (IL-33 receptor) and CLC (Charcot-Leyden crystal protein), which are known to be important to AERD pathogenesis. Nasal transcriptomics can predict AERD diagnosis accurately and may improve disease understanding, enabling earlier and more precise endotype-based diagnosis and management.\n\nID: 42403892\nTitle: Validity of an Alternaria alternata Skin Prick Test Extract for Diagnosing Sensitization.\nAbstract: Alternaria alternata is a major fungal allergen, yet standardized skin prick test (SPT) extracts are lacking in China, hindering the use of this simple, first-line diagnostic tool. This study aimed to clinically evaluate a novel, domestically developed A. alternata extract for SPT and establish a diagnostic cutoff in a Chinese population. In this prospective, single-center study, 910 patients with allergic diseases were consecutively enrolled. All underwent SPT with the in-house A. alternata extract (Alt a 1: 25.7-34.8\u00a0\u00b5g/mL). Serum-specific IgE (sIgE) (ImmunoCAP\u2122) served as the reference standard. Diagnostic accuracy was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events. The per-protocol set included 610 subjects. The area under the ROC curve was 0.868 (95% CI: 0.839-0.897). The optimal diagnostic cutoff was a mean wheal diameter of 3.25 mm, yielding a sensitivity of 81.10% (95% CI: 76.76%-85.24%) and specificity of 79.32% (95% CI: 74.46%-84.18%). To achieve 95% specificity, the cutoff increased to 4.25 mm. No adverse events were reported among all 910 participants. The novel A. alternata SPT extract demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for detecting Alternaria alternata sensitization and an excellent safety profile. The established cutoff of 3.25 mm provides a population-optimized threshold for identifying sensitized individuals in China. This study addresses a critical gap in allergen standardization and supports the use of SPT as a reliable first-line tool for assessing fungal sensitization in clinical practice.

Physical examination revealed polyp-like masses in bilateral olfactory clefts and middle meatus. The patient was diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and exhibited poor response to an adequate course of topical intranasal corticosteroids, then he enrolled in two clinical trials using anti IL4-R\u03b1 and anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies consequently. The treatment duration for each trial was 16 weeks, respectively. The size of his nasal polyps did not change, which was the main endpoint result for both clinical trials. Then the patient underwent an endoscopic surgery and the pathology was respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma\uff08REAH\uff09, which was further confirmed by the single cell sequencing results of the operative specimen, which were different from normal nasal polyps. The diagnosis of REAH is dependent on pathology and preoperative examination has limited specificity, and REAH may share similarities with nasal polyps. Therefore, REAH should be considered for the differential diagnosis when patients with polyp-like masses exhibit poor response to sufficient treatment using biologics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u672c\u6587\u62a5\u90531\u4f8b\u7537\u6027\u60a3\u8005\uff0c\u56e0\u201c\u9f3b\u585e\u4f34\u55c5\u89c9\u51cf\u900020\u4f59\u5e74\u201d\u5c31\u8bca\uff0c\u4f53\u68c0\u53ef\u89c1\u53cc\u4fa7\u4e2d\u9f3b\u9053\u53ca\u55c5\u88c2\u533a\u606f\u8089\u6837\u80bf\u7269\uff0c\u8db3\u91cf\u9f3b\u55b7\u6fc0\u7d20\u6cbb\u7597\u6548\u679c\u4e0d\u4f73\uff0c\u5148\u540e\u4e88\u767d\u7ec6\u80de\u4ecb\u7d204\u53d7\u4f53\u03b1\u4e9a\u57fa\uff08IL4-R\u03b1\uff09\u91cd\u7ec4\u4eba\u6e90\u5316\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u53ca\u6297\u80f8\u817a\u57fa\u8d28\u6dcb\u5df4\u7ec6\u80de\u751f\u6210\u7d20\uff08TSLP\uff09\u5355\u514b\u9686\u6297\u4f53\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\uff0c\u6cbb\u7597\u540e\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u5927\u5c0f\u65e0\u660e\u663e\u6539\u53d8\uff0c\u884c\u9f3b\u5185\u955c\u624b\u672f\u6cbb\u7597\uff0c\u672f\u540e\u75c5\u7406\u63d0\u793a\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u3002\u56e0\u9f3b\u8154\u547c\u5438\u9053\u4e0a\u76ae\u817a\u7624\u6837\u9519\u6784\u7624\u4e34\u5e8a\u68c0\u9a8c\u68c0\u67e5\u65e0\u7279\u5f02\u6027\uff0c\u53ef\u4e0e\u666e\u901a\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8868\u73b0\u7c7b\u4f3c\uff0c\u786e\u8bca\u9700\u4f9d\u8d56\u75c5\u7406\uff0c\u63d0\u793a\u5728\u751f\u7269\u5236\u5242\u6cbb\u7597\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u60a3\u8005\u7597\u6548\u4e0d\u4f73\u65f6\uff0c\u4e34\u5e8a\u533b\u751f\u9700\u63d0\u9ad8\u5bf9\u4e8e\u60a3\u8005\u5408\u5e76\u672c\u75c5\u7684\u8b66\u60d5\u3002.\n\nID: 42397540\nTitle: Postbiotics as Emerging Therapeutics for Allergic Diseases: A Novel Approach Beyond Live Biologics.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, allergic rhinitis, and food allergies, are characterized by immune dysregulation, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and exaggerated type 2 inflammation. Although current therapeutic strategies have improved disease management, many treatments remain symptomatic, costly, and insufficiently effective in a substantial proportion of patients. Increasing recognition of the gut-immune axis has shifted attention toward microbiome-derived therapeutic approaches. However, safety concerns and inconsistent clinical outcomes associated with live probiotics have accelerated interest in postbiotics, defined as preparations of inanimate microorganisms and/or their bioactive components that confer health benefits to the host.\u00a0This comprehensive review summarizes current mechanistic, translational, and clinical evidence regarding the role of postbiotics in allergic diseases. Particular emphasis is placed on immunological checkpoints targeted by postbiotic-derived bioactive molecules, including modulation of Th1/Th2 balance, induction of regulatory T cells, restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, regulation of innate lymphoid cells, and systemic immune signaling through the gut-lung and gut-skin axes.\u00a0Accumulating evidence indicates that postbiotics-including short-chain fatty acids, cell wall components, extracellular vesicles, exopolysaccharides, and microbial metabolites-can modulate immune responses independently of microbial viability. Preclinical studies consistently demonstrate that postbiotics restore immune tolerance, attenuate allergic inflammation, and improve epithelial barrier function. Clinical studies, particularly in atopic dermatitis, have shown promising but heterogeneous outcomes, highlighting the need for standardized formulations and biomarker-guided patient stratification.\u00a0Postbiotics represent a mechanistically distinct and potentially safer microbiome-based therapeutic strategy for allergic diseases. Nevertheless, important challenges remain regarding standardization, regulatory harmonization, mechanistic characterization, and long-term clinical validation. Future progress will depend on rigorously designed longitudinal studies, multi-omics integration, and precision medicine approaches to determine whether postbiotics can evolve from adjunctive therapies into disease-modifying interventions.\n\nID: 42397368\nTitle: [First experience of using tezepelumab for the treatment of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps in the Moscow region].\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the nasal mucosa and paranasal sinuses associated with severe nasal congestion, olfactory impairment, decreased quality of life, the need for repeated surgical interventions, and the use of systemic glucocorticosteroids. Real-world data on the use of tezepelumab in patients with severe relapsing CRSwNP remain limited. To describe the initial experience of tezepelumab application in real-world setting in patients with recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps and to evaluate early improvement of symptoms, quality of life, and tolerability of therapy based on available clinical data. We describe clinical observations of 8 patients with recurrent CRSwNP who received tezepelumab 210 mg subcutaneously every 4 weeks for 2 months. Patients were treated in a multidisciplinary day hospital. The total severity of symptoms was assessed using the visual analogue scale (VAS), quality of life - using the SNOT-22 questionnaire, the initial endoscopic picture - using the Lund-Kennedy score. In addition, peripheral blood eosinophils, treatment history, comorbidity and tolerability of therapy were evaluated. The primary assessment was performed at the baseline visit and approximately 2 months after the start of treatment. The analysis was descriptive. The series included 8 patients, 6 of whom were women; the mean age was 54.2\u00b19.0 years. All patients had recurrent CRSwNP and a history of surgical interventions. Bronchial asthma was described in 5 of 8 patients, and intolerance to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or Samster's triad - in 4 of 8. Initially, the average score for VAS was 30.2\u00b11.7, for SNOT-22 - 63.8\u00b13.9. After 2 months, the mean VAS score decreased to 11.0\u00b11.2, the average absolute change amounted to 19.2\u00b11.5 points. The mean SNOT-22 score decreased to 30.1\u00b15.8, with an average absolute change of -33.6\u00b15.9 points. Improvement in VAS and SNOT-22 scores was observed in all 8 patients. The course of treatment was continued for all patients due to clinical improvement. In this small case series, tezepelumab was associated with an early reduction in symptom burden and improved quality of life in patients with severe recurrent rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. The obtained observation results are preliminary. Confirmation in larger, systematically assembled cohorts with longer follow-up and standardized assessment of endoscopic, radiographic symptoms and safety indicators is needed.

Therapies for Type 2 Inflammation in Severe Asthma and Eosinophilic Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): Mechanisms, Efficacy, and Safety.\nAbstract: Severe asthma affects a minority of patients but accounts for disproportionate morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. The development of targeted biologic therapies has revolutionized treatment, offering precision medicine approaches based on underlying inflammatory endotypes. Currently approved biologics target immunoglobulin E (omalizumab), interleukin (IL)-5 or its receptor (mepolizumab, reslizumab, depemokimab, and benralizumab), IL-4 receptor \u03b1 (dupilumab), and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (tezepelumab). These agents have demonstrated substantial reductions in exacerbation rates, improved lung function, corticosteroid-sparing effects, and enhanced quality of life across diverse patient populations. This review examines the mechanisms of action, clinical efficacy, safety profiles, and optimal patient selection strategies for biologic therapies in severe asthma and eosinophilic COPD.\n\nID: 42379714\nTitle: Characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with severe asthma receiving tezepelumab after marketing approval in Spain (T-ROSS II study): an observational study protocol.\nAbstract: Asthma is a prevalent chronic respiratory disease characterised by airway inflammation, reversible airflow obstruction and airway hyper-responsiveness. Most patients with severe asthma (SA) remain uncontrolled despite the availability of multiple therapies, representing a significant global health burden.Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial cell-derived cytokine that plays a central role in asthma initiation via both allergic and non-allergic mechanisms as well as in the persistence of airway inflammation in patients with asthma, acting upstream in the inflammatory cascade.Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody that targets TSLP, has shown clinical efficacy and safety in pivotal trials in patients with T2 and non-T2 asthma. Tezepelumab was approved for use in Europe in October 2022, and the marketing authorisation was issued in Spain in October 2023. The T-ROSS II study is a retrospective, observational, single-arm, multicentre study planned to include 400 patients aged \u226512 years treated in SA units. T-ROSS II will represent the largest published series of patients with SA who initiated tezepelumab after its market authorisation.Eligible patients must have at least 12 months of medical history prior to treatment initiation and a minimum of 3 months of follow-up data recorded in the electronic health records.The co-primary outcomes are to describe baseline patient demographics and clinical characteristics and evaluate changes in the annualised asthma exacerbation rate before and after the initiation of tezepelumab. These findings will complement clinical trial data and inform physicians and healthcare decision-makers about the real-world effectiveness and utilization of tezepelumab in patients with SA. This study is expected to provide valuable insights into the clinical outcomes and treatment patterns of this population. The final protocol of the study has been approved by the ethics committee/Institutional Review Board (EC/IRB) of the University Hospital 12 de Octubre (Madrid, Spain) (EC/IRB number: 25/226). The results will be disseminated through scientific publications, including manuscripts submitted to peer-reviewed journals and presentations at national and international congresses.

Although defects in Taz deteriorate mitochondrial respiration, Ca2+-uptake, and redox regulation in cardiac myocytes, we previously observed an unexpected lack of oxidative cardiac damage, despite the development of cardiomyopathy in a BTHS mouse model with Taz-knockdown (KD). Furthermore, we revealed that the integrated stress response (ISR) governs metabolic rewiring in Taz-KD hearts to compensate for deficient mitochondrial FAO and to support GSH production. Here, we interrogated whether adaptive mechanisms in peroxisomes, which are closely associated with mitochondria and harbor antioxidative enzymes, can also compensate for the mitochondrial defects. We identified alterations in the peroxisomal biogenesis factors PEX14 and PEX19, indicating changes in the peroxisomal proteome in Taz-KD vs. WT hearts. While the enzymes of peroxisomal FAO were unchanged, levels of Lon Protease 2 (LONP2) and catalase were elevated in Taz-KD hearts. Inhibition or siRNA-mediated knockdown of catalase increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) and blunted the protection of mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) with Taz-knockout (KO), but not in WT, from ROS-induced activation of the apoptotic caspase 3. Furthermore, we observed that the increase in plasmalogen synthesis in cardiac Taz-KD peroxisomes contributes to the activation of the ISR, since siRNA-mediated knockdown of the key enzyme GNPAT blunted the ISR and thereby increased cellular ROS in Taz-KO, but not WT MEFs. In conclusion, peroxisomes facilitate a counterregulatory response to dysfunctional mitochondria by activating a catalase-driven ROS defense and maintaining ISR-mediated metabolic alterations, both of which compensate for mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress. Therefore, the so far poorly investigated mitochondrial-peroxisome crosstalk may represent a novel therapeutic target in an orphan disease with a poor prognosis.\n\nID: 42370849\nTitle: Increased induced sputum ITGB5 expression was correlated with airway inflammation and lung function in asthma.\nAbstract: ITGB5 encodes integrin subunit beta 5 of that has been implicated in the eosinophilic asthma phenotype. However, the secretory profile of ITGB5 in induced sputum and its clinical significance in asthma remains poorly understood. This study aimed to measure ITGB5 levels in induced sputum supernatant from asthma patients and investigate its potential clinical implications. We enrolled 78 participants (18 healthy controls and 60 asthma patients) and quantified ITGB5 protein levels in induced sputum supernatant using ELISA. Correlations between ITGB5 and inflammatory markers, as well as airway obstruction parameters, were analyzed. Subsequently, we performed comparative analyses to evaluate variations in inflammatory cytokines between high- and low-ITGB5 expression subgroups. Induced sputum ITGB5 levels were significantly elevated in asthma patients and markedly increased following inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) treatment. ITGB5 levels showed positive correlations with Th2-associated cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP) and Th2 signature genes (SERPINB2, CLCA1, and POSTN). Notably, IL-5, FeNO, and POSTN were significantly higher in the high-ITGB5(n\u2009=\u200930) than the low- ITGB5 (n\u2009=\u200930) expression group. Furthermore, sputum ITGB5 levels were inversely associated with pulmonary function (FEV1% pred, FVC% pred, MEF% pred, MEF25% pred and MEF50% pred). Increased sputum ITGB5 in asthma was positively associated with inflammatory mediators and negatively correlated with pulmonary function, suggesting that ITGB5 upregulation may be involved in airway inflammation and obstruction in asthma pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42363337\nTitle: Modern approaches in asthma management: Revolutionizing severe asthma treatment with biologics.\nAbstract: There have been advancements in the management of asthma among adults over the last two decades. The type 2 processes of airways inflammation and the use of type 2 biomarkers fractional expired nitric oxide and eosinophils have been further illuminated owing to such advancements. Moreover, epithelial cells are appearing as noteworthy elements for inflammation via the production of alarmins to start the local injury along with downstream pathways. Five new biologics have revolutionised severe asthma therapy apart from omalizumab, which are mepolizumab, benralizumab, reslizumab, dupilumab and tezepelumab. These biologics prevent the exacerbations significantly, thereby sparing the use of systemic corticosteroids and their adverse effects. For both rescue and maintenance therapies, the available guidelines prove the efficacy of inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting beta-2 agonists, like formoterol. Future guidelines ought to incorporate phenotype/endotype-focussed management to acquire further precision-directed therapy.\n\nID: 42358592\nTitle: Protective effects of sodium hyaluronate nasal spray on murine nasal mucosa via preservation of airway surface liquid and mucociliary clearance.\nAbstract: Saline nasal irrigation is widely used in the management of nasal diseases; however, its inability to replicate the physicochemical properties of airway surface liquid (ASL) may limit its long-term efficacy. We aimed to investigate the protective mechanisms of sodium hyaluronate (hyaluronic acid, HA) nasal spray on the nasal mucosa and to compare its effects with conventional saline. BALB/c mice were subjected to intranasal mugwort allergen exposure and treated with either saline or sodium hyaluronate nasal spray for 1-7 days. Behavioral assessments and nasal crusting scores were recorded. Cytokine levels (IL-4, IL-25, IL-33, TSLP) were quantified using ELISA. Histological analyses (H&E, PAS, Alcian Blue) and immunohistochemistry (ZO-1, Occludin) were performed. Ex vivo mucociliary clearance (MCC) was assessed under different liquid environments. HA treatment significantly reduced nasal scratching and attenuated crust formation following prolonged allergen exposure. This was accompanied by suppression of Th2 cytokines and epithelial-derived alarmins in both nasal mucosa and serum. HA preserved mucus layer thickness and goblet cell density and significantly delayed the decline in MCC. Tight junction protein expression remained unchanged. Sodium hyaluronate nasal spray confers mucosal protection primarily through preservation of ASL homeostasis and MCC function rather than modulation of epithelial tight junctions. These findings highlight HA as a promising alternative to saline for long-term management of nasal mucosal disorders.\n\nID: 42352991\nTitle: PEPR1 Mediates SsNLP1-Triggered Immunity Against Sclerotinia sclerotiorum.\nAbstract: Necrosis- and ethylene-inducing peptide 1 (Nep1)-like proteins (NLPs) are conserved microbial proteins that contain immunogenic patterns capable of activating plant pattern-triggered immunity (PTI). NLP patterns from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (SsNLPs), a destructive necrotrophic fungal pathogen with a broad host range, have been identified, and their roles in PTI have been revealed. Nevertheless, the molecular mechanisms by which SsNLPs stimulate plant immunity remain largely unknown. In this study, we phylogenetically characterized SsNLPs and demonstrated the involvement of the phytocytokine receptor-like kinases PEPRs in SsNLP1-triggered immunity. SsNLPs contained the NPP1 domain and GHRHDWE motif and were phylogenetically closely associated with Botrytis cinerea NLPs. SsNLP1 treatment strongly induced the expression of PEPR genes. Further genetic analyses using Arabidopsis wild-type, pepr1 pepr2 double mutant, and PEPR1 overexpression lines showed that SsNLP1 elicited diverse immune responses, including reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation and defense gene activation, and induced plant resistance to S. sclerotiorum. Notably, the induced plant resistance and immune responses were strengthened in PEPR1 overexpression lines and significantly reduced in the pepr1 pepr2 mutant, indicating a positive role of PEPR signaling in SsNLP1-triggered immunity. Overall, our results revealed that phytocytokine PEPR1 signaling amplifies PAMP SsNLP1-triggered immunity, thereby enhancing resistance against S. sclerotiorum. Our findings provide an example of the coordination between PAMP- and phytocytokine-triggered immunity for robust resistance to a necrotrophic pathogen.\n\nID: 42345643\nTitle: Reticular Basement Membrane Remodelling Regulates Bronchial Epithelial Attachment, Barrier Integrity and Inflammatory Signalling in Asthma.\nAbstract: Asthma is characterized by persistent airway epithelial dysfunction and remodelling of the reticular basement membrane (RBM). In healthy airways, the RBM is primarily composed of the extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins laminin and collagen-IV, but in remodelled asthmatic airways, the RBM has increased deposition of collagen-I, -III and fibronectin. Here, we systematically compared the effects of collagen-I, -III, -IV, fibronectin, laminin, and bovine serum albumin (BSA) control on bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) from six healthy controls and seven individuals with asthma. Epithelial attachment, spreading and barrier function were assessed in real time over 72 h using electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing. Cell culture supernatants were analyzed for release of epithelial cytokines, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin (IL)-6, IL-8, and IL-11 using ELISA. BECs from both control and asthma donors had faster cell attachment, spreading, and barrier formation on collagen-I, -III, -IV, and fibronectin compared to laminin and BSA. BECs from both control and asthma donors cultured on collagen -I and -III produced more TSLP, but had no effect on IL-6, IL-8, and IL-11 expression. In summary, remodelling of the RBM in asthma may promote epithelial barrier formation whilst simultaneously enhancing epithelial-derived Th2 inflammation through increased TSLP release.\n\nID: 42345640\nTitle: Role of Innate Lymphoid Cells in Chronic Rhinosinusitis: Insights from Tissue and Peripheral Blood Flow Cytometric Analysis.\nAbstract: (1) Background: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are potent cytokine producers that regulate local immune responses in tissues. Natural killer (NK) cells belong to group 1 ILCs and play an important role in tumor clearance and defense against intracellular pathogens. ILC2 and 3 have been implied in allergic responses and other chronic inflammatory diseases. The role of these cells in the pathogenesis of chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is not completely understood. There are changes in the cellular infiltrate in the mucosa of patients with CRS with and without polyps. The aim of this study was to characterize the number and phenotype of NK cells, ILC2s and ILC3s in patients with CRS. (2) Methods: Tissue samples were collected from patients with CRS with and without nasal polyps who were undergoing nasal sinus surgery as well as control patients who were undergoing surgery due to non-inflammatory reasons. Lymphocytes were isolated from the tissues using mechanical and enzymatic dissociation. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from the same patients. All cells were examined by multicolor flow cytometry. NK cells were analyzed for the distribution of CD56dimCD16+ and CD56brightCD16- subsets and the expression of IL18R\u03b1, CD16, CD57, GATA3, TCF1 and NKp44. In ILC2s, GATA3 and IL18R\u03b1 expression was determined, and ILC3s as well as NKp44+ and NKp44-ILC3 subsets were analyzed for the expression of IL18R\u03b1. (3) Results: There were significantly fewer NK cells in the nasal polyps compared to the peripheral blood of patients with CRSwNP and tissues from CRSsNP patients, which both showed higher levels of TCF1 expression. Irrespective of the disease condition, NK cells in tissues showed lower CD16 expression and a lower frequency of the CD56dimCD16+ subset compared to the peripheral blood mononuclear cells. Additionally, a smaller percentage of NK cells were terminally matured, as measured by CD16+ and CD57+ expression, in all examined nasal mucosa tissues. In the tissue ILC3s, we predominantly found cells from the NKp44- subset in all groups. ILC3s from CRSsNP patients showed the highest frequencies of IL18R\u03b1+ cells of all examined tissues. ILC2s from the polyps ofCRSwNP patients showed higher levels of GATA3 expression than their peripheral blood counterparts. (4) Conclusions: We found that tissue-resident NK cells in mucosa from the nose and sinuses are a more heterogenous and less mature population than those in peripheral blood. Expression of the examined markers in NK cells was similar among groups. NK cell frequency, both in blood and tissue from CRSsNP patients, was higher than in the other groups, indicating that these cells might play an important role in this phenotype. Changes in the IL18R\u03b1 expression of ILC3s suggest a potential role of IL18 signaling in CRS pathogenesis.\n\nID: 42341000\nTitle: Inflammatory Signatures Beyond Th1/Th2 Endotypes Provide Insights Into Postoperative Recurrence in Chronic Rhinosinusitis.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) represents a spectrum of inflammatory endotypes, driven by distinct T helper (Th) immune responses. The high rate of recurrent disease despite appropriate medical and surgical interventions highlights the need for improved characterization beyond the traditional type 2 and non-type 2 phenotypes to better inform personalized treatment. Sinonasal tissue samples were obtained from 105 CRS patients undergoing endoscopic sinus surgery. Histopathologic evaluation classified inflammatory patterns by predominant cell type and severity. Levels of Th1, Th2, and Th17- and epithelial-derived cytokines were quantified using a multiplex immunoassay targeting 12 markers. Clinical, radiologic, and follow-up data were correlated with inflammatory patterns and cytokine profiles. Type 2 CRS, identified in 65 patients (62%), was associated with higher levels of IL-5, IL-13, and TSLP (p = 0.0002, <0.0001, and 0.02, respectively), whereas IL-8 was elevated in non-type 2 disease (p = 0.022). Recurrence occurred in 22 patients (21%) and was associated with asthma (p = 0.002), anosmia (p = 0.006), prior steroids use (p = 0.044), lymphoplasmacytic inflammatory pattern (p = 0.022), higher IL-13 (p = 0.045), and IL-33 (p = 0.031). Recurrence rates did not differ between inflammatory profiles (Th2, Th1/Th17, and mixed). Asthma remained the only independent predictor of recurrence in multivariable Cox model (HR 2.48, 95% CI 1.003-8.042, p = 0.049). Elevated IL-33 levels and lymphoplasmacytic inflammation were associated with postoperative recurrence, underscoring the role of epithelial\u2012immune signaling in persistent mucosal inflammation, whereas comorbid asthma remained the only independent predictor of refractory CRS.\n\nID: 42331527\nTitle: [Analysis of allergen sensitization profile in children at a hospital in Suzhou City from 2022 to 2024].\nAbstract: To systematically characterize the allergen sensitization profile among children attending a tertiary hospital in Suzhou and to explore its associations with age, sex, and clinical disease phenotypes, thereby providing regional evidence for precision prevention and control strategies. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted involving 3 374 children aged 0-18 years who attended the Department of Pediatrics of Suzhou Municipal Hospital from November 2022 to May 2024. Participants were stratified into three age groups: infants (00.05). TNF-\u03b1 and IL-6 in both BALF and serum showed no significant differences between the A2M and SALINE groups throughout the study (p > 0.05). Nebulization with A2M did not significantly alter clinical respiratory scores, airway inflammation, or inflammatory cytokines.\n\nID: 42394984\nTitle: Leonurus japonicus Houtt. extract containing isoquercitrin reduces airway inflammation in mice with allergic asthma.\nAbstract: Leonurus japonicus Houtt. (Lamiaceae) has traditionally been used to treat respiratory disorders, including cough and dyspnea. The aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic potential of a standardized hydroalcoholic extract from the aerial parts of L. japonicus in an in vivo model of allergic asthma. Balb/c mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) and then treated intraperitoneally with L. japonicus (at doses of 100, 200, or 400\u00a0mg/kg), dexamethasone (at a dose of 2\u00a0mg/kg), or saline for seven consecutive days during intranasal OVA challenges. Bronchial hyperresponsiveness, lung cytokine levels (IL-4, IL-5, IL-10, and IFN-\u03b3), inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL), lung inflammation, and mucus production were evaluated. The chemical profile of the extract was determined by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Leonurus japonicus significantly reduced bronchial hyperresponsiveness, eosinophil infiltration, peribronchial inflammation and mucus secretion at all tested doses. The 200\u00a0mg/kg dose reduced IL-4 and IL-10 levels, and the 400\u00a0mg/kg dose decreased IL-5 and IL-10 levels. Isoquercitrin was identified as the major constituent of the extract. These findings support the traditional use of L. japonicus and suggest its potential as an anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory agent for treating allergic asthma.\n\nID: 42393148\nTitle: 4-Octyl itaconate ameliorates cigarette smoke-induced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by suppressing necroptosis in alveolar macrophages via Nrf2 activation.\nAbstract: Cigarette smoke (CS)-induced necroptosis of alveolar macrophages (AMs) is critical in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. The itaconate derivative 4-octyl itaconate (4-OI) is a macrophage immunomodulator; however, its effects on AMs in COPD remain unclear. In this study, a COPD mouse model was established via CS exposure, and a murine alveolar macrophage (MH-S) cell model was generated via cigarette smoke extract (CSE) stimulation to investigate the protective effects of 4-OI and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. In vivo, CS exposure induced lung dysfunction, airway inflammation, and emphysema, which were significantly ameliorated by 4-OI administration. Furthermore, CS exposure upregulated the necroptosis-related proteins RIPK1, RIPK3, MLKL, and p-MLKL in lung tissue and triggered the excessive extracellular release of HMGB1, all of which were suppressed by 4-OI. In vitro, 4-OI inhibited CSE-induced necroptosis and the release of cytokines from AMs. Mechanistically, Nrf2 pathway-mediated antioxidant defenses were impaired in the lungs of COPD model mice and in CSE-stimulated AMs, and 4-OI partially restored antioxidant protein activity. Critically, pharmacological inhibition with ML385 or shRNA-mediated genetic knockdown of Nrf2 reversed the protective effects of 4-OI against CSE-induced necroptosis in AMs. In conclusion, 4-OI ameliorates CS-induced COPD by alleviating necroptosis in AMs, which depends on Nrf2 antioxidant pathway activation.\n\nID: 42381636\nTitle: Serotonin Degradation and Lipid Metabolism Regulate Human Tc2 Cell Effector Functions.\nAbstract: Cytotoxic type 2 T cells (Tc2) are increasingly recognized as contributors to type 2 inflammation, including asthma, yet the metabolic programs that support their function remain poorly defined. We aimed to define the metabolic requirements of Tc2 cells, identify pathways that regulate their effector function, and assess whether serotonin-modifying therapies are associated with altered Tc2 responses and allergic sensitization in humans. Tc2 cells from human peripheral blood and lung tissue were analyzed using Seahorse metabolic assays, Mitotracker staining, flow cytometry, and RNA sequencing. Effector functions were evaluated following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, and monoamine oxidase A (MAOA) inhibition. In parallel, anti-depressant prescription data were analyzed in the population-based BAMSE cohort to assess associations with allergic sensitization. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from individuals prescribed selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and matched controls were stimulated ex\u00a0vivo to assess cytokine production. Tc2 cells exhibited a distinct metabolic profile characterized by increased mitochondrial respiration, glycolytic activity, and elevated expression of GLUT1 and CD36. Type 2 cytokine production (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) was enhanced by alarmins and significantly reduced following inhibition of glycolysis, fatty acid metabolism, or PPAR\u03b3 activity. RNA sequencing identified high MAOA expression in Tc2 cells, and pharmacological inhibition of MAOA selectively reduced type 2 cytokine production without affecting IFN-\u03b3. In the BAMSE cohort, dispensing of prescribed anti-depressive drugs was associated with reduced IgE sensitization. Consistent with these findings, individuals prescribed SSRIs exhibited reduced IL-5+ and IL-13+ expressing Tc2 cells and increased IFN-\u03b3-producing Tc2 cells following ex\u00a0vivo stimulation. Tc2 cells rely on coordinated lipid metabolism and serotonin catabolism to sustain type 2 cytokine production. Serotonin-modifying therapies were associated with reduced allergic sensitization and altered Tc2 function in humans, consistent with a link between serotonin signaling and type 2 immunity.\n\nID: 42378190\nTitle: Association of Serum Galectin-3 Binding Protein with Acute Exacerbation, Inflammation, and Airway Remodeling in Pediatric Asthma.\nAbstract: Galectin-3 binding protein (LGALS3BP) is involved in immune regulation and tissue remodeling; however, its clinical significance in pediatric asthma has not been fully elucidated. We aimed to investigate the association between serum LGALS3BP levels and acute exacerbation, airway inflammation, lung function, and airway remodeling in children with asthma. We enrolled 93 children with asthma, including 57 in a stable state and 36 experiencing acute exacerbation, along with 100 healthy controls. Pulmonary function tests, markers of allergic and airway inflammation, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and airway remodeling-related biomarkers were assessed. Multivariate logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses were performed to evaluate predictors and diagnostic performance for acute exacerbation. Serum LGALS3BP levels were significantly higher in children with asthma than in healthy controls and were further elevated during acute exacerbations (all p < 0.001). Increased LGALS3BP levels were independently associated with a higher risk of acute exacerbation (OR = 1.073, 95% CI 1.003-1.147; p = 0.040). ROC analysis showed strong discriminatory ability for exacerbations (AUC= 0.910), with 76.3% sensitivity and 91.0% specificity. Serum LGALS3BP levels were negatively correlated with lung function and positively correlated with eosinophil counts, total IgE, fractional exhaled nitric oxide, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and airway remodeling markers, including TGF-\u03b21, MMP-2, MMP-9, and SDF-1\u03b1 (all p < 0.05). Elevated serum LGALS3BP levels are closely associated with acute exacerbation, airway inflammation, impaired lung function, and airway remodeling in pediatric asthma, suggesting its potential as a noninvasive biomarker of disease activity and exacerbation risk.\n\nID: 42421742\nTitle: Mitochondrial transcription factor A: linking mtDNA maintenance, mitochondrial stress responses, and inflammaging.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) is a nuclear-encoded mitochondrial protein that directly binds mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and contributes to mitochondrial genome maintenance. Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression.\n\nID: 42393712\nTitle: The mitochondrial protease, LonP1, is a potential cardioprotective target for attenuating doxorubicin-induced cardiomyocyte death.\nAbstract: Doxorubicin (DOX), a first-line chemotherapeutic agent, has been linked to severe off-target cardiotoxicity in the clinic. Previous works suggest that mitochondria are key mediators of this cardiotoxicity. Leakage of mitochondrial contents after DOX treatment, including mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), is thought to activate apoptotic and inflammatory signaling pathways implicated in cardiomyocyte cell death. Whether the master mitochondrial protease, LonP1, can dampen these pathways and improve cardiomyocyte viability following DOX treatment remains unknown. Human cardiac cells (AC-16) and primary (1\u00b0) human cardiomyocytes were subjected to DOX treatment, followed by bulk RNA-Seq, RT-qPCR, qPCR, and immunoblotting to assess apoptotic signaling, inflammatory signaling, mtDNA release, and LonP1 expression, respectively. Lentivirus transduction of AC-16 cells was used to generate both knockdown (KD) and overexpression (OE) LonP1 cell lines to determine the effects of altered LonP1 levels on DOX-induced apoptosis and mtDNA release. Further, levels of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) were measured using qPCR from serum samples obtained from patients undergoing DOX treatment to assess the clinical relevance of released mtDNA as a potential biomarker for the development of DOX cardiotoxicity. DOX treatment of AC-16 cells, as well as 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes, upregulated both apoptotic and inflammatory signaling in both cell models. Increased LonP1 levels were also observed under DOX treatment in AC-16 cells and 1\u00b0 human cardiomyocytes. Likewise, DOX increased mtDNA release from both cell lines, both prior to, and as a sequel to cell death. Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects. Furthermore, DOX treatment in cancer patients increases plasma mtDNA levels. These findings suggest LonP1 plays a protective role in the heart following DOX treatment, supporting LonP1 as a potential novel therapeutic target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity. Patterns of mtDNA release within patients undergoing DOX treatment also highlight the potential of mtDNA as a potential biomarker and target for prevention of DOX cardiotoxicity, justifying the need for more extensive, prospectively monitored cohort studies to expand upon these findings and statistically model mtDNA release patterns.\n\nID: 42351791\nTitle: The Complement System and Its Role in Eosinophilic Inflammation in Respiratory Diseases.\nAbstract: The complement system is a key link between innate and adaptive immunity, contributing to pathogen elimination, immune regulation, and tissue homeostasis. Its activation is not only crucial in infections, such as COVID-19, but also plays a major role in the pathomechanism of several non-infectious respiratory diseases, such as asthma, COPD, sarcoidosis and lung cancer. Complement components can modulate the quality of the adaptive immune responses, including through the regulation of T2 immunity and eosinophilic inflammation, thereby linking natural defense to complex immune processes. In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that dysregulated complement activity contributes to inflammation, thrombosis and tissue damage in a wide range of respiratory diseases. The study of the various components of this cascade system may therefore be promising from both a diagnostic and therapeutic point of view. Some of its components may serve as biomarkers for distinguishing between different phenotypes of certain lung diseases, while their targeted inhibition or modulation may open the way towards new treatment options. A better understanding of the complement system's integrative and regulatory role not only allows for a deeper insight into immunological interactions but may also bring us closer to phenotype-oriented, immunology-based pulmonology, which may have real clinical benefits in the future.\n\nID: 42327775\nTitle: Restoring balance in atopic disorders: insights into type 2 immunity and chronic inflammation.\nAbstract: Atopic diseases arise from an immunological imbalance where regulatory mechanisms are unable to preserve or restore homeostasis, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions affecting epithelial organs. This may involve homeostasis, deficient or insufficient regulatory T cells (Tregs) or other aberrant regulatory mechanisms. Type 2 (T2) immunity is a conserved response that evolved to combat large helminth parasites (worms), venoms, and toxins involving both innate and adaptive immune pathways. Many T2 cytokines and alarmins act to recruit and activate innate and adaptive immune cells, and they also lead to mucous production, hyperplasia, and tissue remodeling. These responses were designed to enhance expulsion of parasites, repair the barrier and elicit protective mechanical reflexes such as scratching or coughing. Today, with reduced parasitic exposure serving as an opposing influence on T2 immunity, it is hypothesized that T2 responses may be triggered by low amounts of environmental stimuli in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to unchecked T2 inflammation and atopic diseases at multiple barrier surfaces. This paper reviews the evidence linking host T2 immunity with T2 inflammatory mechanisms in atopic diseases and explores the hypothesis that these diseases may be perpetuated from a central imbalance between Th2 vs. Th1, Th3, and Tregs, influenced by tissue-dependent, local environmental-insult-driven innate cell responses, interconnected by a cycle of self-amplifying cytokine signaling.\n\nID: 42310240\nTitle: Downregulation of Lonp1 Promotes Melanocyte Pyroptosis via Suppressing Mitophagy and Activating NLRP3 Pathway in Vitiligo under Oxidative Stress.\nAbstract: Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by the loss of epidermal melanocytes. Oxidative stress serves as a key initiating factor in its pathogenesis. Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, perform multiple essential functions in eukaryotic cells and participate in melanocyte physiological processes. Lonp1 is a crucial mitochondrial matrix soluble protease involved in maintaining mtDNA stability, clearing aberrant proteins, and regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. Meanwhile, mitophagy serves as a crucial function within the mitochondrial quality control system, responsible for eliminating damaged mitochondria. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death mediated by inflammasomes, accompanied by cell membrane pore formation and the release of inflammatory cytokines. This study confirmed that oxidative stress was associated with decreased Lonp1 in PIG1 cells, the human melanocyte line. This downregulation impairs mitochondrial homeostasis by suppressing the expression of PINK1, a key mitophagy-related protein, ultimately leading to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, release of IL-1\u03b2, and induction of melanocyte pyroptosis.\n\nID: 42269551\nTitle: Arginine metabolism and the NF-\u0138B pathway jointly regulate the airway inflammation in asthma mediated by ILC2s.\nAbstract: Type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) are the key effector cells in airway inflammation of asthma. Arginase 2 (Arg2) and the NF-\u0138B pathway are both involved in the inflammatory response, but the mechanism by which they jointly regulate the function of ILC2s remains unclear. In this study, an OVA-induced mouse asthma model was used, combined with in vivo and in vitro experiments, flow cytometry and targeted metabolomics to explore the roles of both and their mutual regulatory relationship. In OVA-induced asthmatic mice, airway inflammation was aggravated and the proportion of lung ILC2s increased, while Arg2 expression was upregulated and the NF-\u0138B pathway was activated. In the in vivo experiments, the Arg2 inhibitor nor-NOHA or the NF-\u0138B inhibitor DHMEQ could alleviate inflammation, and the combined treatment was more effective. Experiments in vitro have shown that NF-\u0138B may promote the expression of Arg2, and inhibiting the expression of Arg2 can partially reduce the activation of the NF-\u0138B pathway; combined inhibition can reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors by ILC2s. Additionally, TNF-\u03b1 could weaken the inhibitory effect of nor-NOHA on Arg2. In summary, NF-\u0138B may regulate the expression of Arg2 in ILC2s, and Arg2 may feedback-regulate the NF-\u0138B-mediated inflammation through arginine metabolism. The two synergistically affect the activation of ILC2s and the type 2 inflammation of asthma. Targeting both simultaneously can alleviate airway inflammation and provide a potential new idea for asthma treatment.\n\nID: 42259139\nTitle: Club cells in asthma: Multifunctional regulators of airway integrity and emerging therapeutic targets.\nAbstract: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by complex interactions among multiple cell types within the local microenvironment. Among these, Club cells (CCs) are specialized airway epithelial cells that play key roles in maintaining airway integrity and immune homeostasis. They contribute to epithelial repair, barrier maintenance, innate defense, circadian control, and xenobiotic metabolism. Accumulating evidence also indicates that CCs exhibit substantial functional heterogeneity and may act as both protectors of bronchiolar integrity and context-dependent drivers of airway inflammation and remodeling. However, the roles of CCs in asthma remain incompletely understood, as current evidence is fragmented across different subfields of respiratory research. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the multifaceted roles of CCs by highlighting their critical regenerative and immune-regulatory functions pertaining to the pathobiology of asthma. We further discuss how loss of protective mediators such as SCGB1A1, dysregulated club-to-goblet cell differentiation, the release of alarmins, and damage-associated molecular patterns may link CCs dysfunction to inflammatory endotypes, mucus hypersecretion and airway remodeling. Finally, emerging CC-targeted therapeutic strategies are also summarized, highlighting their potential to move beyond symptom management toward precision interventions that restore bronchiolar homeostasis.\n\nID: 42253476\nTitle: Airway epithelial dysfunction in asthma pathogenesis: epigenetic mechanisms, inflammatory crosstalk, and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide and remains incompletely explained by the traditional T cell-centric immunological model, which offers incomplete mechanistic explanations for disease chronicity, recurrence during clinical remission, and the poor treatment response observed in T2-low phenotypes. Emerging evidence positions the airway epithelium as a central organizer of asthma pathogenesis rather than a passive barrier. This review proposes a unifying framework in which airway epithelial dysfunction and epigenetic memory drive the persistent and relapse-prone nature of asthmatic airways. We first examine how structural barrier defects-including tight junction dysfunction mediated by claudin-18 and E-cadherin loss-initiate and amplify type 2 inflammation through alarmin release (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25) and ILC2 activation. We then review how environmental exposures and inflammatory signals, particularly IL-13, induce durable epigenetic reprogramming of airway epithelial cells through DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, establishing molecular imprints that persist beyond the resolution of acute inflammation. Special attention is given to basal progenitor cells as repositories of allergic epigenetic memory, and to the concept of trained innate immunity as a mechanism underlying chronic airway hyperresponsiveness. We further contrast the epigenetic landscapes of T2-high and T2-low asthma, identifying the latter as a critical unmet need for biomarker and therapeutic development. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including HDAC inhibitors, miRNA-based therapies, and the potential of anti-alarmin biologics (tezepelumab, itepekimab) and downstream cytokine receptor antagonists (dupilumab) to partially restore epithelial function and progenitor states. We acknowledge that, given current data availability, this review is weighted toward T2-high (eosinophilic) endotypes; mechanistic characterization of T2-low asthma remains an important area for future investigation. This framework reconceptualizes asthma not only as a disorder of dysregulated immunity, but as a disease of maladaptively reprogrammed barrier tissue, with important implications for disease prevention, endotype-specific treatment, and the goal of achieving true biological remission.\n\nID: 41363224\nTitle: TSLP-Associated Allergic Conjunctiva Inflammation in a Novel Mouse Model Induced by Dual Antigens: Orchard Grass and Alternaria.\nAbstract: To investigate innate and adaptive immune responses in allergic conjunctivitis induced by simultaneous sensitization with Orchard grass and Alternaria antigens. An experimental allergic conjunctivitis (EAC) mouse model was developed by instilling mixed antigen solutions of Orchard grass and Alternaria antigens after sensitization via intraperitoneal administration of a mixed antigen solution. BALB/cj mice were divided into four groups based on sensitization and number of antigen eye drop instillations: (1) A1 group (single instillation without intraperitoneal administration), (2) S1 group (single instillation with intraperitoneal administration), (3) M1 group (three instillations with intraperitoneal administration), (4) C group (negative control with receiving neither instillation nor intraperitoneal administration). Clinical observations and histological examinations for eosinophils were performed, and eosinophil density in the conjunctival tissue was quantified. Gene expression levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukins (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-16, and IL-33), and CCL11/eotaxin-1 in the conjunctiva were evaluated using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The clinical symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis were observed in the A1, S1, and M1 groups. Eosinophil density at 1\u2009h after the last instillation was significantly higher in the A1, S1, and M1 groups compared to the C group (p\u2009<\u20090.01), with the M1 group showing higher density than the S1 group (p\u2009<\u20090.01). Conjunctival TSLP messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels were increased in the sensitized (S1 and M1) groups compared to the C group (p\u2009<\u20090.01 and p\u2009<\u20090.05, respectively), with the M1 group exhibiting higher expression than the S1 group (p\u2009<\u20090.01). Additionally, mRNA expression levels of IL-16 and CCL11 in the M1 group were significantly higher than those in the A1 group. Allergic conjunctivitis induced by Orchard grass and Alternaria antigens is characterized by early eosinophil infiltration, and TSLP upregulation exacerbates the allergic inflammation in the conjunctiva.\n\nID: 40073242\nTitle: Maternal supplementation with \u03b1-tocopherol inhibits the development of offspring food allergy, H1R signaling and ultimately anaphylaxis early in life.\nAbstract: Food allergy has had a rapid rise in prevalence, and thus it is important to identify approaches to limit the development of food allergy early in life. Because maternal dietary supplementation with \u03b1-tocopherol (\u03b1-T), an isoform of vitamin E, during pregnancy and nursing increases neonate plasma levels of \u03b1-T and can limit neonate development of other allergies, we hypothesized that \u03b1-T can limit development of food allergy. To assess this, male mice with mutations in their skin barrier genes (FT-/- mice) were mated with wild-type females that received a diet supplemented with \u03b1-tocopherol or a control diet. Starting at postnatal day 3, these FT+/- pups were sensitized 4 to 5 times over 2.5\u2009weeks by skin co-exposure to the food allergen peanut extract (PNE) and the environmental allergen Alternaria alternata (Alt). Control pups were exposed to saline, PNE only or Alt only. Supplementation with \u03b1-T blocked Alt+PNE sensitization (anti-PNE-specific IgE), without blocking Alt+PNE-stimulated skin IL33, Areg, OSM, CCL11, TSLP or plasma MCPT1. However, supplementation with \u03b1-T blocked mast cell activation, the increase in plasma histamine in Alt+PNE sensitized pups, histamine receptor stimulation of endothelial PKC\u03b1 signaling, and ultimately oral PNE-induced anaphylaxis in Alt+PNE sensitized mice. Thus, maternal supplementation with \u03b1-tocopherol reduced development of food allergy and anaphylaxis in neonates. These results have implications for supplementation of mothers with \u03b1-tocopherol to limit development of food allergy in neonates with skin barrier mutations.\n\nID: 39559998\nTitle: Endogenous Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor and Glucose-Dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide Receptor Signaling Inhibits Aeroallergen-Induced Innate Airway Inflammation.\nAbstract: Anti-inflammatory effects of incretin signaling through the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and the glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) in mice have been reported. Therefore, we hypothesized that signaling through the endogenous GLP-1R and the GIPR individually decreases allergic airway inflammation and that the combination of GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together additively inhibits allergen-induced lung and airway inflammation. WT (C57BL/6J), GLP-1R knockout (KO), GIPR KO, and GLP-1R/GIPR double KO (DKO) mice were challenged intranasally with Alternaria alternata extract (Alt-Ext) or vehicle to evaluate the impact of signaling through these receptors on the innate allergen-induced inflammatory response that is primarily driven by group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2). Alt-Ext-induced IL-33 release in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was not different between the mouse strains, but thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other strains. Furthermore, Alt-Ext-induced protein expression of IL-5, IL-13, CCL11, and CCL24 in the lung homogenates, the number of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils in the BALF, and the number of lung GATA3+ ILC2 were significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice compared to the other 3 strains. Furthermore, ICAM-1 expression on lung epithelial cells was increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other 3 strains. Deficiency of both GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together increased TSLP release, ILC2 activation, and early type 2 innate immune responses to aeroallergen exposure. Combined GLP-1R and GIPR signaling should be explored for the treatment of asthma.\n=======================================================\n\n### [CUSTOM DATAPOINTS]\nCRITICAL EXTRACTION DIRECTIVE: You MUST extract the following custom datapoints as root-level key/value pairs inside your final JSON block:\n- \"suggested_experiments\": generate 1-3 suggested experiments\n- \"suggested_studies\": generate 1-3 suggested studies\n- \"swansons_literature_based_discovery_candidates\": You are an advanced Literature-Based Discovery (LBD) system executing Swanson\u2019s complementary-but-disjoint (A-B-C) model.

Evidence confirms that fungal allergens induce oxidative stress and alarmin release, while mitochondrial proteases like LonP1 act as critical checkpoints for managing cellular integrity and preventing inflammatory signaling.\n\n### [INTRODUCTION & JUSTIFICATION]\nAsthma and chronic rhinosinusitis are increasingly characterized as diseases of maladaptive epithelial-immune communication. Epithelial cell sentinel activity is triggered by environmental insults, such as *Alternaria alternata*. \"Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses.\" These alarmins are the upstream orchestrators of Type 2 inflammation. \"Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma.\" \n\nCrucially, the maintenance of epithelial and cellular health under these stressors is governed by mitochondrial homeostasis. \"Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases.\" The mitochondrial protease LonP1 is central to these stress responses, as \"LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation\". In cases of mitochondrial damage, such as those exacerbated by drug or environmental stress, proteases act as a \"break\" on pro-inflammatory apoptosis. \"Decreasing LonP1 levels exacerbated DOX-mediated apoptotic signaling and mtDNA release, whereas overexpression of LonP1 attenuated these effects.\" The alignment of these pathways defines a therapeutic window where targeting upstream alarmins, such as TSLP, may yield significant clinical control. \"Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways.\"\n\n### [DISCUSSION: NOVEL & OVERLOOKED]\n* Fungal *Alternaria* allergens act not only as biochemical triggers for alarmins but also cause physical and oxidative damage that necessitates mitochondrial quality control.\n* Mitochondrial proteases (LonP1) serve as an immunometabolic checkpoint, where their dysfunction directly links mitochondrial DNA release to chronic inflammation via the cGAS-STING axis.\n* The IL-22BP decoy receptor has been shown to play a paradoxical role; while IL-22 is typically protective, \"These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production.\"\n* Biologics targeting TSLP, such as tezepelumab, are effective across diverse asthma endotypes, emphasizing the hierarchy of alarmins as \"source-directed\" intervention targets.\n* The metabolic state of ILC2s (glycolysis, lipid metabolism) is an emerging regulator of their plasticity, suggesting that metabolic modulation (e.g., via serotonin catabolism or MAOA inhibition) can alter immune responsiveness.\n* Epigenetic memory, established through DNA methylation and histone modifications in basal epithelial progenitors, explains why asthma is often a relapsing, chronic condition rather than a simple acute response to fungal allergens.\n\n### [EVIDENCE, METHODOLOGY & CITATIONS]\n1.

Here, we tried to elucidate the effects of platelet adhesion to ILC2s in vitro and in vivo, as well as the mechanisms involved. Alternaria-induced ILC2-dependent airway inflammation models using wild-type and c-mpl-/- mice were evaluated. Both purified CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were cultured with IL-2 and IL-33 to determine in vitro Type 2 (T2) cytokine production and cell proliferation. RNA-seq data of flow-cytometry-sorted CD41+ and CD41- ILC2s were used to isolate ILC2-specific genes. Flow cytometry was performed to determine the expression of CD41 and adhesion-related molecules on ILC2s in both mouse and human tissues. T2 inflammation and T2 cytokine production from ILC2s were significantly reduced in the c-mpl-/- mice compared to wild-type mice. Platelet-adherent ILC2s underwent significant proliferation and showed enhanced T2 cytokine production when exposed to IL-2 and IL-33. The functions of ILC2-specific genes were related to cell development and function. Upstream regulator analysis identified 15\u00a0molecules, that are thought to be involved in ILC2 activation. CD41 expression levels were higher in ILC2s from human PBMCs and mouse lung than in those from secondary lymphoid tissues, but they did not correlate with the P-selectin glycoprotein ligand-1 or CD24 expression level. Platelets spontaneously adhere to ILC2s, probably in the peripheral blood and airways, thereby potentiating ILC2s to enhance their responses to IL-33.",
"34428519": "ID: 34428519\nTitle: TLR3-driven IFN-\u03b2 antagonizes STAT5-activating cytokines and suppresses innate type 2 response in the lung.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are involved in type 2 immune responses in mucosal organs and are associated with various allergic diseases in humans. Studies are needed to understand the molecules and pathways that control ILC2s. The aims of this study were to develop a mouse model that limits the innate type 2 immune response in the lung and to investigate the immunologic mechanisms involved in regulation of lung ILC2s. Naive BALB/c mice were administered various Toll-like receptor agonists and exposed intranasally to the fungal allergen Alternaria alternata. The mechanisms were investigated using gene knockout mice as well as cultures of lung cells and isolated lung ILC2s. Polyinosinic-polycytidylic acid, or poly (I:C), effectively inhibited innate type 2 response to A alternata. Poly (I:C) promoted production of IFN\u03b1, -\u03b2, and -\u03b3, and its inhibitory effects were dependent on the IFN-\u03b1/\u03b2 receptor pathway. IFN-\u03b2 was 100 times more potent than IFN-\u03b1 at inhibiting type 2 cytokine production by lung ILC2s. Signal transducer and activator of transcription 5 (STAT5)-activating cytokines, including IL-2, IL-7, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin, but not IL-33, promoted survival and proliferation of lung ILC2s in\u00a0vitro, while IFN-\u03b2 blocked these effects. Expression of the transcription factor GATA3, which is critical for differentiation and maintenance of ILC2s, was inhibited by IFN-\u03b2. IFN-\u03b2 blocks the effects of STAT5-activating cytokines on lung ILC2s and inhibits their survival and effector functions. Administration of IFN-\u03b2 may provide a new strategy to treat diseases involving ILC2s.",
"34462397": "ID: 34462397\nTitle: Mesenchymal Stem Cells Suppress Severe Asthma by Directly Regulating Th2 Cells and Type 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells.\nAbstract: Patients with severe asthma have unmet clinical needs for effective and safe therapies. One possibility may be mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy, which can improve asthma in murine models. However, it remains unclear how MSCs exert their beneficial effects in asthma. Here, we examined the effect of human umbilical cord blood-derived MSCs (hUC-MSC) on two mouse models of severe asthma, namely, Alternaria alternata-induced and house dust mite (HDM)/diesel exhaust particle (DEP)-induced asthma. hUC-MSC treatment attenuated lung type 2 (Th2 and type 2 innate lymphoid cell) inflammation in both models. However, these effects were only observed with particular treatment routes and timings. In vitro co-culture showed that hUC-MSC directly downregulated the interleukin (IL)-5 and IL-13 production of differentiated mouse Th2 cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from asthma patients. Thus, these results showed that hUC-MSC treatment can ameliorate asthma by suppressing the asthmogenic cytokine production of effector cells. However, the successful clinical application of MSCs in the future is likely to require careful optimization of the route, dosage, and timing.",
"34673048": "ID: 34673048\nTitle: Cannabinoid receptor 2 engagement promotes group 2 innate lymphoid cell expansion and enhances airway hyperreactivity.\nAbstract: Cannabinoids modulate the activation of immune cells and physiologic processes in the lungs. Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central players in type 2 asthma, but how cannabinoids modulate ILC2 activation remains to be elucidated. Our goal was to investigate the effects of cannabinoids on ILC2s and their role in asthma. A combination of cannabinoid receptor (CB)2 knockout (KO) mice, CB2 antagonist and agonist were used in the mouse models of IL-33, IL-25, and Alternaria alternata ILC2-dependent airway inflammation. RNA sequencing was performed to assess transcriptomic changes in ILC2s, and humanized mice were used to assess the role of CB2 signaling in human ILC2s. We provide evidence that CB2 signaling in ILC2s is important for the development of ILC2-driven airway inflammation in both mice and human. We showed that both naive and activated murine pulmonary ILC2s express CB2. CB2 signaling did not affect ILC2 homeostasis at steady state, but strikingly it stimulated ILC2 proliferation and function upon activation. As a result, ILC2s lacking CB2 induced lower lung inflammation, as we made similar observations using a CB2 antagonist. Conversely, CB2 agonism remarkably exacerbated ILC2-driven airway hyperreactivity and lung inflammation. Mechanistically, transcriptomic and protein analysis revealed that CB2 signaling induced cyclic adenosine monophosphate-response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation in ILC2s. Human ILC2s expressed CB2, as CB2 antagonism and agonism showed opposing effects on ILC2 effector function and development of airway hyperreactivity in humanized mice. Collectively, our results define CB2 signaling\u00a0in\u00a0ILC2s as an important modulator of airway inflammation.",
"34682259": "ID: 34682259\nTitle: Alternaria as an Inducer of Allergic Sensitization.\nAbstract: Alternaria alternata is a saprophytic mold whose spores are disseminated in warm dry air, the typical weather of the Mediterranean climate region (from 30\u00b0 to 45\u00b0), with a peak during the late summer and early autumn. Alternaria spores are known to be biological contaminants and a potent source of aeroallergens. One consequence of human exposure to Alternaria is an increased risk of developing asthma, with Alt a 1 as its main elicitor and a marker of primary sensitization. Although the action mechanism needs further investigation, a key role of the epithelium in cytokine production, TLR-activated alveolar macrophages and innate lymphoid cells in the adaptive response was demonstrated. Furthermore, sensitization to A. alternata seems to be a trigger for the development of co-sensitization to other allergen sources and may act as an exacerbator of symptoms and an elicitor of food allergies. The prevalence of A. alternata allergy is increasing and has led to expanding research on the role of this fungal species in the induction of IgE-mediated respiratory diseases. Indeed, recent research has allowed new perspectives to be considered in the assessment of exposure and diagnosis of fungi-induced allergies, although more studies are needed for the standardization of immunotherapy formulations.",

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) are critical post-transcriptional regulators, although less is known about RBPs in ILC biology. Here, we demonstrate that RNA-binding motif 3 (RBM3) is highly expressed in lung ILCs and is further induced by alarmins TSLP and IL-33. Rbm3-/- and Rbm3-/-Rag2-/- mice exposed to asthma-associated Alternaria allergen develop enhanced eosinophilic lung inflammation and ILC activation. IL-33 stimulation studies\u00a0in\u00a0vivo and in vitro show that RBM3 suppressed lung ILC responses. Further, Rbm3-/- ILCs from bone marrow chimeric mice display increased ILC cytokine production suggesting an ILC-intrinsic suppressive function of RBM3. RNA-sequencing of Rbm3-/- lung ILCs demonstrates increased expression of type 2/17 cytokines and cysteinyl leukotriene 1 receptor (CysLT1R). Finally, Rbm3-/-Cyslt1r-/- mice show dependence on CysLT1R for accumulation of ST2+IL-17+ ILCs. Thus, RBM3 intrinsically regulates lung ILCs during allergen-induced type 2 inflammation that\u00a0is partially dependent on CysLT1R.",

The precise harmonization of oxidative stresses between mitochondria and other organelles in the cell is absolutely vital to cell survival. Under oxidative stress, ROS produced from mitochondria and are the major mediator for tumorigenesis in different aspects, such as proliferation, migration/invasion, angiogenesis, inflammation, and immunoescape to allow cancer cells to adapt to the rigorous environment. Accordingly, the dynamic balance of oxidative stresses not only orchestrate complex cell signaling events in cancer cells but also affect other components in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Immune cells, such as M2 macrophages, dendritic cells, and T cells are the major components of the immunosuppressive TME from the ROS-induced inflammation. Based on this notion, numerous strategies to mitigate oxidative stresses in tumors have been tested for cancer prevention or therapies; however, these manipulations are devised from different sources and mechanisms without established effectiveness. Herein, we integrate current progress regarding the impact of mitochondrial ROS in the TME, not only in cancer cells but also in immune cells, and discuss the combination of emerging ROS-modulating strategies with immunotherapies to achieve antitumor effects.",

Although it has been suggested that MAIT cells are somehow implicated in the allergic airway inflammation mediated by group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) such as asthma, the precise role(s) of MAIT cells in such inflammation has remained elusive. To explore the possible roles of MAIT cells in the inflammation, we examined whether MAIT cells suppressed the production of T helper (Th) 2 and inflammatory cytokines from ILC2s, and constrained the proliferation of ILC2s, both of which are prerequisite for airway inflammation. Given that laboratory mice are poor at MAIT cells, a novel mouse line rich in MAIT cells was used. We found that mice rich in MAIT cells showed alleviated airway inflammation as evidenced by reduced infiltration of the immune cells and hyperplasia in goblet cells in the lung concomitant with compromised production of Th2 and inflammatory cytokines, while wild type mice exhibited severe inflammation upon challenge with the fungal extracts. In vitro coculture experiments using purified ILC2s and MAIT cells unrevealed that cytokine-stimulated MAIT cells suppressed ILC2s to produce the cytokines as well as to proliferate most likely via production of IFN-\u03b3. Furthermore, reconstitution of the allergic airway inflammation in the highly immunocompromised mice showed that ILC2-mediated inflammation was alleviated in mice that received MAIT cells along with ILC2s. We concluded that MAIT cells played a crucial role in suppressing the cytokine-producing capacity of ILC2s and ILC2 proliferation, that ultimately led to decrease in the allergic airway inflammation. The results open up a novel therapeutic horizon in ILC2-mediated inflammatory diseases by modulating MAIT cell activity.",

Rodent studies have demonstrated the neuroprotective effects of its active component tetramethylpyrazine against post-stroke brain injury and highlighted its role in antioxidant, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptosis activity. Using permanent cerebral ischemia in rats and oxygen/glucose deprivation and reoxygenation (OGDR) in rat primary neuron/glia cultures, this study sheds light on the role of mitochondria as crucial targets for tetramethylpyrazine neuroprotection. Tetramethylpyrazine protected against injury and alleviated oxidative stress, interleukin-1\u03b2 release, and caspase 3 activation both in vivo and in vitro. Reduction of mitochondrial biogenesis- and integrity-related proliferator-activated receptor-gamma coactivator-1 alpha, mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM), translocase of outer mitochondrial membrane 20, mitochondrial DNA, and citrate synthase activity, as well as activation of mitochondrial dynamics disruption-related Lon protease, dynamin-related protein 1 (Drp1) phosphorylation, stimulator of interferon genes, TANK-binding kinase 1 phosphorylation, protein kinase RNA-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase phosphorylation, eukaryotic initiation factor 2\u03b1 phosphorylation, and activating transcription factor 4 were revealed in permanent cerebral ischemia in rats and OGDR in neuron/glia cultures. TMP alleviated those biochemical changes. Our findings suggest that preservation or restoration of mitochondrial dynamics and functional integrity and alleviation of mitochondria-oriented pro-oxidant, pro-inflammatory, and pro-apoptotic cascades are alternative neuroprotective mechanisms of tetramethylpyrazine. Additionally, mitochondrial TFAM and Drp1 as well as endoplasmic reticulum stress could be targeted by TMP to induce neuroprotection. Data of this study provide experimental base to support clinical utility and value of Chuan Xiong towards stroke treatment and highlight an alternative neuroprotective target of tetramethylpyrazine.",
"37497449": "ID: 37497449\nTitle: Monitoring Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cell Biology in Models of Lung Inflammation.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are a rare cell population subdivided into ILC1s, ILC2s, and ILC3s, based on transcription factor expression and cytokine production. In models of lung inflammation, the release of alarmins from the epithelium activates ILC2s and promotes the production of Th2-cytokines and the proliferation and migration of ILC2s within the lung. ILC2s are the innate counterpart to CD4+ Th2s and, as such, express Gata-3 and produce IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13. Due to the low number of ILCs and the lack of specific surface markers, flow cytometry is the most reliable technique for the identification and characterization of ILCs. In this protocol, multicolor flow cytometry is utilized to identify Lineage- Thy1.2+ ILCs. Intracellular cytokine staining further identifies ILC2s within the lung. This protocol presents a reliable method for promoting ILC2-mediated lung inflammation and for monitoring ILC2 biology. Key features In this protocol, ILC2s are expanded via intranasal challenges withAlternaria alternata, a fungal allergen, or recombinant IL-33. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) and lung are collected and processed into single-cell suspension for multicolor flow cytometric analysis, including intracellular staining of transcription factors and cytokines. During lung inflammation, the percentage of ILC2s and eosinophils increases. ILC2s express greater levels ofGata-3andKi-67and produce greater amounts of IL-5 and IL-13. Graphical overview.",

Exposure of endothelial cells (EC) to proinflammatory stimuli leads to an increase in mitochondrial metabolism; however, the function and regulation of elevated mitochondrial metabolism in EC in response to proinflammatory cytokines remain unclear. Studies using high-resolution metabolomics and 13C-glucose and 13C-glutamine labeling flux techniques showed that pyruvate dehydrogenase activity (PDH) and oxidative tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) flux are elevated in human umbilical vein ECs in response to overnight (16 h) treatment with TNF\u03b1 (10 ng/mL). Mechanistic studies indicated that TNF\u03b1 mediated these metabolic changes via mitochondrial-specific protein degradation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4, inhibitor of PDH) by the Lon protease via an NF-\u03baB-dependent mechanism. Using RNA sequencing following siRNA-mediated knockdown of the catalytically active subunit of PDH, PDHE1\u03b1 (PDHA1 gene), we show that PDH flux controls the transcription of approximately one-third of the genes that are up-regulated by TNF\u03b1 stimulation. Notably, TNF\u03b1-induced PDH flux regulates a unique signature of proinflammatory mediators (cytokines and chemokines) but not inducible adhesion molecules. Metabolomics and ChIP sequencing for acetylated modification on lysine 27 of histone 3 (H3K27ac) showed that TNF\u03b1-induced PDH flux promotes histone acetylation of specific gene loci via citrate accumulation and ATP-citrate lyase-mediated generation of acetyl CoA. Together, these results uncover a mechanism by which TNF\u03b1 signaling increases oxidative TCA flux of glucose to support TNF\u03b1-induced gene transcription through extramitochondrial acetyl CoA generation and histone acetylation.",

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), such as T helper 2 (TH2) cells, produce key asthma-related type 2 cytokines. Recent insights from mouse and human studies indicate a potential connection between ILC2s and steroid-resistant asthma. Here, we highlight that lung ILC2s, rather than TH2 cells, can develop steroid resistance, allowing them to persist and maintain their disease-driving activity even during steroid treatment. The emergence of multipotent IL-5+IL-13+IL-17A+ ILC2s is associated with steroid-resistant ILC2s. The Janus kinase 3 (JAK3)/signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT) 3, 5, and 6 pathways contribute to the acquisition of steroid-resistant ILC2s. The JAK3 inhibitor reduces ILC2 survival, proliferation, and cytokine production in vitro and ameliorates ILC2-driven Alternaria-induced asthma. Furthermore, combining a JAK3 inhibitor with steroids results in the inhibition of steroid-resistant asthma. These findings suggest a potential therapeutic approach for addressing this challenging condition in chronic asthma.",

CD226 is a costimulatory molecule involved in various inflammatory diseases. We aimed to investigate CD226 expression and function within human and mouse ILC2s, and to assess the impact of targeting CD226 on ILC2-mediated airway hyperreactivity (AHR). We administered IL-33 intranasally to wild-type mice, followed by treatment with anti-CD226 antibody or isotype control. Pulmonary ILC2s were sorted for ex vivo analyses through RNA sequencing and flow cytometry. Next, we evaluated the effects of CD226 on AHR and lung inflammation in wild-type and Rag2-/- mice. Additionally, we compared peripheral ILC2s from healthy donors and asthmatic patients to ascertain the role of CD226 in human ILC2s. Our findings demonstrated an inducible expression of CD226 in activated ILC2s, enhancing their cytokine secretion and effector functions. Mechanistically, CD226 alters intracellular metabolism and enhances PI3K/AKT and MAPK signal pathways. Blocking CD226 ameliorates ILC2-dependent AHR in IL-33 and Alternaria alternata-induced models. Interestingly, CD226 is expressed and inducible in human ILC2s, and its blocking reduces cytokine production. Finally, we showed that peripheral ILC2s in asthmatic patients exhibited elevated CD226 expression compared to healthy controls. Our findings underscore the potential of CD226 as a novel therapeutic target in ILC2s, presenting a promising avenue for ameliorating AHR and allergic asthma.",

Here we show a novel method for studying the heterogeneity of rare lung ILC populations by magnetic enrichment for lung ILCs followed by particle-templated instant partition sequencing (PIP-seq). Using this method, we were able to identify novel group 1 and group 2 ILC subsets that exist after exposure to both fungal allergen and burn pit-related constituents (BPC) that include dioxin, aromatic hydrocarbon, and particulate matter. Toxin exposure in combination with fungal allergen induced activation of specific ILC1/NK and ILC2 populations as well as promoted neutrophilic lung inflammation. Oxidative stress pathways and downregulation of specific ribosomal protein genes ( Rpl41 and Rps19 ) implicated in anti-inflammatory responses were present after BPC exposure.

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs), vital non-nutritive components of breast milk, are known to significantly shape immune system development and influence the incidence of allergic diseases. However, their impact on ILC2-driven asthma is not fully understood. Our research reveals that dietary HMOs act as potent inhibitors of ILC2 responses and allergic airway inflammation. Treatment with 2'-fucosyllactose (2'-FL) and 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) significantly reduced ILC2-related airway inflammation induced by papain or Alternaria alternata in mice, evidenced by decreased eosinophil (EOS) infiltration and lower IL-5 and IL-13 levels in BALF. Notably, while ILC2 expresses HMO receptors, HMO did not act directly on ILC2 but potentially modulated their activity through alterations in gut microbiota derived SCFAs. HMO treatments alleviated airway inflammation in SCFA-dependent manners, with SCFA depletion or receptor blocking reversing these beneficial effects. This study reveals the potential of dietary HMOs in managing asthma through modulation of ILC2 activity and the gut-lung axis, proposing a new therapeutic avenue that utilises the immunomodulatory capacities of nutritional components to combat respiratory diseases.",

Notably, neural signals are increasingly recognized as pivotal regulators of ILC2s. However, how ILC2s intrinsically modulate their responsiveness to these neural signals is still largely unknown. Here, using single-cell RNA-Seq, we found that the immune-regulatory molecule phosphatase of activated cells 1 (PAC1) selectively promoted the signaling of the neuropeptide calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in ILC2s in a cell-intrinsic manner. Genetic ablation of PAC1 in ILC2s substantially impaired the inhibitory effect of CGRP on proliferation and IL-13 secretion. PAC1 deficiency significantly exacerbated allergic airway inflammation induced by Alternaria alternata or papain in mice. Moreover, in human circulating ILC2s, the expression level of PAC1 was also significantly negatively correlated with the number of ILC2s and their expression level of IL13. Mechanistically, PAC1 was necessary for ensuring the expression of CGRP response genes by influencing chromatin accessibility. In summary, our study demonstrated that PAC1 is an important regulator of ILC2 responses, and we propose that PAC1 is a potential target for therapeutic interventions in type 2 inflammation-related diseases.",

Therefore, we hypothesized that signaling through the endogenous GLP-1R and the GIPR individually decreases allergic airway inflammation and that the combination of GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together additively inhibits allergen-induced lung and airway inflammation. WT (C57BL/6J), GLP-1R knockout (KO), GIPR KO, and GLP-1R/GIPR double KO (DKO) mice were challenged intranasally with Alternaria alternata extract (Alt-Ext) or vehicle to evaluate the impact of signaling through these receptors on the innate allergen-induced inflammatory response that is primarily driven by group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2). Alt-Ext-induced IL-33 release in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was not different between the mouse strains, but thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) was significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other strains. Furthermore, Alt-Ext-induced protein expression of IL-5, IL-13, CCL11, and CCL24 in the lung homogenates, the number of eosinophils, lymphocytes, and neutrophils in the BALF, and the number of lung GATA3+ ILC2 were significantly increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice compared to the other 3 strains. Furthermore, ICAM-1 expression on lung epithelial cells was increased in GLP-1R/GIPR DKO mice challenged with Alt-Ext compared to the other 3 strains. Deficiency of both GLP-1R and GIPR signaling together increased TSLP release, ILC2 activation, and early type 2 innate immune responses to aeroallergen exposure. Combined GLP-1R and GIPR signaling should be explored for the treatment of asthma.",

Published data show that RNF128, an E3 ligase, promotes Th2 activation in the OVA-induced asthma model. Recent advances have shown that group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) produce the cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 to mediate type 2 immune response. However, whether RNF128 regulates ILC2-dependent allergic lung inflammation remains unclear. In this study, we observed greater expression of the E3 ligase RNF128 in ILC2s than in other immune cells. RNF128 deficiency caused a selective increase in the number of peripheral mature ILC2s, and mice with RNF128 deficiency were more susceptible to Alternaria alternata (A. alternata) -induced allergic lung inflammation. Furthermore, RNF128 deficiency increased recruitment of eosinophils and levels of IL-5 and IL-13 in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. RNF128 effectively inhibited the expansion of ILC2s and the number of IL-5- and IL-13-producing ILC2s. Specially, RNF128 deficiency promoted the expression of the interleukin-33 (IL-33) receptor ST2 in A. alternata-induced allergic lung inflammation. Above all, our study demonstrated that RNF128 played a key role in A. alternata-induced ILC2 activation and type 2 immune response, suggesting that RNF128 may be an effective therapeutic target for allergic lung inflammation initiated by ILC2s.",

Because maternal dietary supplementation with \u03b1-tocopherol (\u03b1-T), an isoform of vitamin E, during pregnancy and nursing increases neonate plasma levels of \u03b1-T and can limit neonate development of other allergies, we hypothesized that \u03b1-T can limit development of food allergy. To assess this, male mice with mutations in their skin barrier genes (FT-/- mice) were mated with wild-type females that received a diet supplemented with \u03b1-tocopherol or a control diet. Starting at postnatal day 3, these FT+/- pups were sensitized 4 to 5 times over 2.5\u2009weeks by skin co-exposure to the food allergen peanut extract (PNE) and the environmental allergen Alternaria alternata (Alt). Control pups were exposed to saline, PNE only or Alt only. Supplementation with \u03b1-T blocked Alt+PNE sensitization (anti-PNE-specific IgE), without blocking Alt+PNE-stimulated skin IL33, Areg, OSM, CCL11, TSLP or plasma MCPT1. However, supplementation with \u03b1-T blocked mast cell activation, the increase in plasma histamine in Alt+PNE sensitized pups, histamine receptor stimulation of endothelial PKC\u03b1 signaling, and ultimately oral PNE-induced anaphylaxis in Alt+PNE sensitized mice. Thus, maternal supplementation with \u03b1-tocopherol reduced development of food allergy and anaphylaxis in neonates. These results have implications for supplementation of mothers with \u03b1-tocopherol to limit development of food allergy in neonates with skin barrier mutations.",

We identified novel associations in genes ZNF467, and LEPREL2 for leptin; ZNF467, LEPREL2, CRLF3, ZNF732, SOX30, XIRP1, ATP8B3, SPATA2L, TMCO4, TLN2, ABCA12, and SHB for adiponectin; and D2HGDH for resistin. Additionally, we confirmed known associations of FTO, MC4R, and HOXB3 with leptin and ADIPOQ with adiponectin. Notably, ADIPOQ variants were consistently significant across GWAS, ExWAS, and gene-based analyses, reinforcing their central role in regulating adiponectin levels. Most of these novel associations identified were population-specific, highlighting the importance of studying diverse populations to uncover unique genetic signals. After adjusting for BMI, the associations with adiponectin and resistin remained significant, whereas most associations for leptin weakened in both effect size and significance. Functional annotation revealed that the identified variants were enriched for expression in adipose tissue, the brain (cerebellar hemisphere and cerebral cortex), and the pituitary gland. These variants act as eQTLs and splice-QTLs in adipose, brain, and pancreas, suggesting cross-tissue regulatory mechanisms. ExWAS further implicated rare variant burden in genes such as LONP1, ZNF335, and TTC16 for adiponectin and resistin.

The role of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2), a cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway metabolite, in modulating these trained ILC2 responses remains unclear. PGI2 acts through its G protein-coupled receptor IP. We hypothesized that IP signaling inhibits ILC2 training. To test this hypothesis, we used a mouse ILC2 training model in which we challenged wild-type (WT) and IP knockout (KO) mice with Alternaria alternata extract (Alt) to induce ILC2 activation and training. After a 33-d resting period, ILC2 responses subsided to a homeostatic level. Mice were then intranasally challenged with papain to evaluate responses to an unrelated allergen. IP KO mice displayed significantly heightened ILC2 interleukin (IL)-13 expression and with concomitant increased eosinophilia in the lungs post-papain challenge compared with WT control mice. Notably, neither WT nor IP KO mice challenged with papain only, devoid of ILC2 training, exhibited lung type 2 responses. The augmented type 2 inflammation observed in IP KO mice following both Alt and papain challenges correlated with increased numbers and percentages of IL-13-producing ILC2s and greater mean fluorescence intensity of IL-13 compared with WT mice. Furthermore, RNA sequencing of sorted ILC2s from WT and IP KO mice following Alt-papain challenges revealed heightened activation of immune response pathways and mitochondrial respiratory pathways in IP-deficient ILC2s. These findings reveal an inhibitory role of PGI2 signaling in trained ILC2 responses, emphasizing its pivotal contribution to innate immune responses and allergic inflammation.",

We found that extracellular DNA and nucleosomes (Nucs) were elevated in the airways of patients with neutrophilic-eosinophilic asthma and correlated with bronchoalveolar lavage neutrophils. Bronchial tissue from neutrophilic-eosinophilic asthma had more DNA sensor-positive cells. Intranasally administered DNA did not induce airway hyperreactivity (AHR) or any pathology but induced AHR and neutrophilic-eosinophilic inflammation when coadministered with the allergen Alternaria (Alt). Nuc alone induced antiinflammatory/defensive genes, whereas the Nuc-Alt combination increased levels of TNF-\u03b1 and innate cytokines. The Alt-Nuc phenotype was abolished in Cgas-/-, ALR-/-, Sting-/-, LysMCre:Stingfl/fl, IL7RCre:Ror\u03b1fl/fl, and Tnfr2-/- mice. Alt, unexpectedly, played an essential role in the Nuc-induced phenotype. It abrogated Nuc induction of antiinflammatory genes, facilitated Nuc uptake, induced type 2 innate lymphoid cells, which, in the presence of Nuc, produced high levels of TNF-\u03b1, and promoted neutrophilic infiltration.

Therefore, we investigated the role of secretory leukocyte protease inhibitor (SLPI), as a serine protease inhibitor, in this protective regulation and aimed to clarify its contribution to type 2 immunity. Methods We evaluated the role of SLPI in the\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced expansion of ILC2s and Th2-type airway inflammation via IL-33, using three models: SLPI-deficient mice, an in vivo SLPI knockdown model with shRNA, and an in vitro model utilizing primary human bronchial epithelial cells (HBECs) exposed to\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract under various conditions, including plasmid transfection. Results We showed that two mouse models of downregulation of\u00a0SLPI\u00a0gene expression augmented\u00a0Alternaria\u00a0extract-induced release of IL-33 and the expansion of ILC2s, together with Th2 airway inflammation. Furthermore, two treatment models using\u00a0SLPI\u00a0KO mice, administration of a serine protease inhibitor, bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, or anti-IL-33 antibody, attenuated Th2\u00a0airway inflammation. In two in vitro experiments, SLPI, as a serine protease inhibitor, prevented both the release of IL-33 from HBECs and the cleavage of full-length IL-33 to shorter mature forms by neutrophil elastase. Discussion These findings suggest that SLPI functions as a key serine protease inhibitor in regulating IL-33-mediated type 2 immune responses. Low\u00a0SLPI levels may contribute to the pathogenesis of asthma by promoting Th2 inflammation, highlighting SLPI as a potential therapeutic target in patients with low SLPI expression.",

ILC2s are tissue-resident cells that produce cytokines IL-5 and IL-13 critical to eosinophilic airway inflammation, mucus production, remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. Though each ILC subset (ILC1s, ILC2s, ILC3s) is identified by specific transcription factors, cell surface receptors and cytokine profiles, functional plasticity between ILC subtypes occurs in various contexts. IL-18/IL-18R loci SNPs are linked to asthma in multiple genome-wide association studies and IL-18 has been shown to promote plasticity in ILC2s. Despite this, little is known about the in vivo role of IL-18/IL-18R on ILC2 responses in the lung. Within hours after mice were exposed to the fungal allergy Alternaria alternata, airway levels of IL-18 and IL-18 receptor expression increased on ST2+ ILCs. Single-cell RNA sequencing of lung cells from Alternaria-challenged mice showed that Il18 was largely expressed by alveolar macrophages, while IL-18R was highly expressed in IL-13+ILC2s. Utilizing IL-18 receptor knock-out mice (IL-18R-/-), we observed increases in IL-17A production from both ST2+ and ST2-negative ILCs compared to control mice. We further observed an early increase in dual production of IL-5 and IL-17A in ST2+ ILCs followed by enhanced lung eosinophilia in the absence of IL-18R. Together, our findings suggest that IL-18 signaling prevents IL-17A production from ILC2s and subsequent eosinophilia in vivo. A further understanding of the regulation of ILC plasticity may lead to novel therapeutic targets in the treatment of ILC-driven asthma.",

Here, we identified the mechanosensitive ion channel Piezo1 as a key regulator of ILC2 effector function through translational control. Piezo1 is highly expressed in murine and human ILC2s, and its activation by mechanical stress or the Piezo1 agonist, Yoda1 induces calcium influx, triggering mTOR signaling and selectively enhancing IL-13 protein production. Conditional deletion of Piezo1 in ILC2s reduced mTOR activation and puromycin incorporation, leading to impaired protein synthesis and attenuated lung inflammation and fibrosis in the IL-33, Alternaria alternata, and bleomycin models. scRNA-seq and scATAC-seq confirmed that Piezo1-deficient ILC2s retained Il13 transcription and chromatin accessibility but presented translational suppression, as evidenced by protein\u2012mRNA interactions. Pharmacologic mTOR inhibition phenocopied Piezo1 loss, supporting the functional relevance of the Piezo1-mTOR axis. These findings demonstrate that Piezo1 functions as a mechanosensor that integrates biomechanical cues to regulate cytokine output via mTOR-mediated translation. Targeting Piezo1 signaling or its downstream effectors may provide therapeutic benefits in type 2 inflammation-associated lung diseases.",

During this process, both oxidative stress and inflammation originating from injured endothelial cells can initiate pathogenic cell-to-cell interactions via a paracrine mechanism. Accumulating evidence underscores the pivotal role of mitochondrial dysfunction as a crucial mechanism underlying endothelial dysfunction. Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is a mitochondrial protease that plays a key role in maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis; however, its role in endothelial dysfunction-related renal disease is unknown. In CKD patients and mice subjected to 5/6 nephrectomy (5/6Nx), we observed decreased LONP1 expression in glomerular endothelial cells. Interestingly, endothelial cell-specific heterozygous knockout of LONP1 exacerbated glomerulosclerosis and aggravated renal function decline, proteinuria, hypertension and kidney inflammation in 5/6Nx mice. Mechanistically, our results suggest that the loss of LONP1 strikingly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels by promoting the ubiquitination of mitochondrial superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2); which in turn led to mitochondrial dysfunction and inflammation within endothelial cells. Additionally, the increase in mitochondrial ROS and subsequent production of inflammatory cytokines from damaged endothelial cells further trigger mesangial cell proliferation and podocyte injury, which together result in glomerulosclerosis and CKD progression. Taken together, our findings identify LONP1 as a therapeutic target for balancing glomerular redox, alleviating inflammation, and retarding glomerulosclerosis.",

An experimental allergic conjunctivitis (EAC) mouse model was developed by instilling mixed antigen solutions of Orchard grass and Alternaria antigens after sensitization via intraperitoneal administration of a mixed antigen solution. BALB/cj mice were divided into four groups based on sensitization and number of antigen eye drop instillations: (1) A1 group (single instillation without intraperitoneal administration), (2) S1 group (single instillation with intraperitoneal administration), (3) M1 group (three instillations with intraperitoneal administration), (4) C group (negative control with receiving neither instillation nor intraperitoneal administration). Clinical observations and histological examinations for eosinophils were performed, and eosinophil density in the conjunctival tissue was quantified. Gene expression levels of thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukins (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-16, and IL-33), and CCL11/eotaxin-1 in the conjunctiva were evaluated using real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction. The clinical symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis were observed in the A1, S1, and M1 groups. Eosinophil density at 1\u2009h after the last instillation was significantly higher in the A1, S1, and M1 groups compared to the C group (p\u2009<\u20090.01), with the M1 group showing higher density than the S1 group (p\u2009<\u20090.01). Conjunctival TSLP messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels were increased in the sensitized (S1 and M1) groups compared to the C group (p\u2009<\u20090.01 and p\u2009<\u20090.05, respectively), with the M1 group exhibiting higher expression than the S1 group (p\u2009<\u20090.01). Additionally, mRNA expression levels of IL-16 and CCL11 in the M1 group were significantly higher than those in the A1 group. Allergic conjunctivitis induced by Orchard grass and Alternaria antigens is characterized by early eosinophil infiltration, and TSLP upregulation exacerbates the allergic inflammation in the conjunctiva.",

We elucidated the platelet-driven T2I mechanisms, particularly the role of platelet-derived leukotriene C4 (LTC4). We assessed lung T2I to Alternaria alternata extract in vivo using mice with targeted deletions of Ltc4s in platelets, macrophages (Macs), or mast cells (MCs); Il33 in Macs, hematopoietic cells, or alveolar type 2 (AT2) cells; and cysteinyl leukotriene receptors. Exogenous administration of LTC4 and IL-33 in na\u00efve mice complemented the genetic models. Sex- and age-matched mice were randomly assigned, and histopathologic evaluations were performed under blinded conditions. Platelets promoted IL-33 expression in perivascular Macs and induced transcellular LTC4 synthesis. Although platelet Ltc4s was not needed to induce IL-33+ Macs, it promoted both IL-33+ AT2 cell and group 2 innate lymphoid cell expansions in a sex-biased manner. Platelet depletion abrogated A alternata-induced increases in IL-33 and AT2 cell expansion. Platelet-adherent Macs expressed higher IL-33 than no-adherent counterparts. Platelet-specific Ltc4s deletion reduced eosinophil, group 2 innate lymphoid cell, and AT2 cell expansion in female animals in a delayed manner. Mac-specific Il33 deletion eliminated platelet-driven IL-33 increases and attenuated AT2 cell expansion selectively in female animals. Exogenous LTC4 and IL-33 synergistically induced IL-33+ Macs and expanded AT2 cells. Adherent platelets rapidly upregulate IL-33-expressing Macs, and platelet-derived LTC4 sustains IL-33-driven expansion of AT2 cells and group 2 innate lymphoid cells, driving sex-biased amplification of T2I. This platelet-Mac axis may contribute to sex differences in type 2 inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma.",

Over the past decade, these alarmin cytokines have become key therapeutic targets, leading to the development of a new generation of biologics designed to intervene early in the inflammatory cascade. This review discusses findings from Phase I and II clinical trials investigating anti-alarmin therapies, including monoclonal antibodies and novel delivery platforms targeting TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25. A comprehensive literature search was conducted across PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, and recent conference proceedings to summarize safety, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy outcomes, as well as emerging biomarkers and genetic insights related to treatment response. Early-phase studies confirm that alarmin blockade is safe, biologically relevant, and efficacious for improving airway inflammation across multiple asthma phenotypes. TSLP inhibition is an approved and clinically available therapy, while IL-33 and IL-25 remain in earlier development. Future progress will rely on optimized airway-focused dosing strategies such as biomarker-guided patient selection and genetic profiling, to achieve optimal personalized therapy. Anti-alarmin biologics are poised to redefine asthma management by addressing inflammation at the epithelial origin of common asthma triggers and advancing clinical care toward precision medicine.",

This study aimed to investigate the effect of optineurin (OPTN) gene knockout on airway inflammation in an ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthma mouse model. An OVA-induced chronic asthma model was established in 6-8-week-old C57BL/6 wild-type and OPTN knockout mice. Lung inflammation and goblet cell hyperplasia were respectively evaluated by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining and periodic acid-Schiff (PAS) staining. Levels of epithelial-derived alarmins (IL-33, TSLP, and IL-25), Th2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13), and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). To further assess autophagic flux, additional experimental groups treated with the lysosomal inhibitor chloroquine were included, and autophagy-related markers were examined by immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. Histological analyses demonstrated that OPTN deficiency markedly attenuated OVA-induced asthma-like airway inflammation, as evidenced by reduced inflammatory cell infiltration, basement membrane thickening, goblet cell hyperplasia, and mucus secretion. ELISA results showed that serum IgE levels, the concentrations of alarmins and inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were significantly decreased in the OPTN\u207b/\u207b group compared with the wild-type group. Furthermore, immunohistochemical and Western blot analyses revealed altered expression of the autophagy-related markers LC3 and p62 in OPTN-deficient lungs. The chloroquine treatment experiment suggested that OPTN might be involved in the regulation of autophagy in the lungs, but the relevant difference did not reach statistical significance. OPTN knockout effectively alleviates asthma-like airway inflammation, and the underlying mechanism may be associated with the regulation of autophagy.",

This review aims to describe the mediators and mechanisms of neuroimmune crosstalk\u2014a term referring the bidirectional interactions between the nervous and immune systems that underly itch pathogenesis and chronicity. RECENT FINDINGS: Type 2 cytokines (IL-4, IL-13, IL-31) directly activate pruriceptive neurons, resulting in itch sensation and nerve fiber sensitization via TRPV1/TRPA1, whereas keratinocyte-derived alarmins (TSLP and IL-33) amplify neural activation. Periostin, an emerging downstream mediator, binds integrin \u03b1V\u03b23 on neurons and induces macrophage IL-31 release, representing a link between immune and neural pathways. BNP, another emerging mediator that is co-expressed with IL-31, facilitates itch signaling in the spinal cord and induces keratinocyte production of itch mediators, highlighting its integral role in neuroimmune signaling. CP arises from a complex interplay between the immune system, sensory neurons, and keratinocytes. The success of therapeutic advances targeting cytokines, neuropeptides, and their receptors in recent years have confirmed the importance of understanding these complex underlying networks.",

Among its resident immune populations, innate lymphoid cells-particularly type 2 ILCs (ILC2s)-play a pivotal role in orchestrating type 2 inflammation driven by epithelial-derived alarmins such as IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP. Upon activation, ILC2s release IL-5 and IL-13, promoting eosinophilic inflammation, goblet cell hyperplasia, mucus hypersecretion, and tissue remodeling, all central features of chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) and severe allergic rhinitis. Recent advances have revealed substantial ILC plasticity, the presence of nasal-resident ILC progenitors, and the influence of metabolic and neuroimmune cues in shaping ILC activation and persistence. Dupilumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting IL-4R\u03b1, has emerged as a highly effective therapy, providing unique mechanistic insight into the epithelial-ILC axis. By blocking IL-4/IL-13 signaling, dupilumab dampens ILC2 effector functions, reduces IL-5/IL-13 output, restores epithelial barrier integrity, interrupts alarmin-driven amplification loops, and rebalances innate and adaptive immune networks. Clinical and translational studies indicate that baseline ILC2 phenotypes-particularly inflammatory ILC2 subsets-may predict treatment responsiveness, positioning ILC profiling as a promising biomarker strategy. This review synthesizes current knowledge of ILC classification, plasticity, progenitor biology, and epithelial-ILC communication in the nasal mucosa, while integrating emerging evidence on dupilumab-mediated immunomodulation. Collectively, these insights highlight ILCs as central drivers of type 2 inflammation and key targets for precision immunomodulation, offering a framework for personalized treatment approaches in CRSwNP and allergic rhinitis.",

We sought to test the individual contribution of alarmins in antigen-induced airway hyperresponsiveness and hyperosmolarity-induced responses evoked by mannitol, a surrogate model of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. Intact segments of small airways, isolated from fresh human lung tissue, were incubated with IL-33, TSLP, IL-25, or buffer control for 48 hours. Contractile responses to anti-IgE or mannitol were then assessed using myograph systems. Mast cell degranulation and mediator release were analyzed both from the bronchial segments and from isolated primary human lung mast cells as well as from the human mast cell line LAD2 (Laboratory of Allergic Diseases 2). IL-33 increased contractile force (Emax) to anti-IgE and hyperosmolar mannitol by 62% and 78%, respectively. IL-33 also doubled antigen-IgE-induced prostaglandin D2 release from bronchial segments as well as enhanced degranulation, cysteinyl leukotriene, and prostaglandin D2 release from isolated human lung mast cells stimulated by anti-IgE or mannitol. In contrast, TSLP and IL-25 had no effect on contraction, degranulation, or mediator release in response to either stimulus. IL-33, but not TSLP or IL-25, enhances bronchoconstriction in human small bronchi by amplifying mast cell activation and mediator release in response to both antigen and hyperosmolar challenge.",

ILC2s rapidly produce innate type 2 cytokines in response to environmental allergens, whereas TH2 cells provide adaptive antigen-specific immune memory. However, little is known regarding the interaction between the innate and adaptive arms of type 2 immunity. We investigated the roles of ILC2s in establishing adaptive antigen-specific immunity in a mouse model of human asthma. ILC2-deficient mice were intranasally sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) using Alternaria extract as an adjuvant. Innate and adaptive responses were assessed by flow cytometry and by intranasal OVA recall challenge. The underlying mechanisms were investigated using gene-deficient mice, in vivo antibody neutralization, adoptive transfer of ILC2s, and in vitro culture systems. Exposure of naive mice to the fungal allergen Alternaria increased the number of lung dendritic cells (DCs), activated migratory DCs, and promoted DC production of the TH2-recruiting chemokines CCL17 and CCL22; these responses were significantly suppressed in ILC2-deficient mice. Consequently, ILC2-deficient mice failed to develop TH2-type tissue-resident memory CD4+ T cells in the lungs and antigen-induced type 2 airway inflammation, which were restored by adoptive transfer of lung ILC2s. Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor produced by ILC2s was indispensable in promoting these DC responses and development of lung tissue-resident memory T cells. ILC2s license lung DCs via granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor to prime and recruit TH2 cells, establishing antigen-specific T-cell immune memory in the lungs.",

This commonality has led researchers to study the potential association, positive or negative, between blood cancers and allergy, but the results remain unclear. The cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying allergic inflammation appear to have dual effects on immune surveillance, potentially positively or negatively influencing carcinogenesis in solid tumors. The same mechanisms may also play a role in the genesis of hematological malignancies, but there is little evidence in the literature to support this. In our review, we explored the possible link between the immune pathways involved in allergic responses and the mechanisms underlying hematological malignancies, focusing on Th2 responses, the activity of inflammatory cells, cytokines, and the emerging role of alarmins. Furthermore, our review aims to assess the association between biologics and the risk of neoplastic disease, with a focus on hematological malignancies. A deeper understanding of shared immune dysregulation pathways and the interactions between various cell types could lead to new preventive or therapeutic approaches for patients with hematological malignancies. Understanding the complex roles of various cellular and molecular mediators of Th2 inflammation in stimulating or inhibiting tumor growth could be a key goal of future research, paving the way for innovative targeted therapies, especially at a time when immunotherapy and monoclonal antibody therapies are increasingly important and effective.",

RECENT FINDINGS: Over the past three decades, the incidence and prevalence of EoE have risen significantly and it is now a leading cause of dysphagia and food impaction in both children and adults. Recent studies highlight how genetic predisposition, environmental exposures, epithelial barrier dysfunction, and abnormal type 2 immune responses interact to contribute to EoE pathogenesis. Key mechanisms include the release of epithelial alarmins, elevated type 2 cytokine signaling, and the recruitment of immune effector cells, all of which lead to chronic inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrostenosis. Current treatments include dietary management, proton pump inhibitors, swallowed corticosteroids, and dupilumab, the first approved biologic. New biologics and agents targeting the epithelial barrier, IL-13, TSLP, and related pathways offer hope for more personalized, mechanism-based therapies. Current therapies for EoE aim to reduce inflammation and prevent fibrostenotic complications, but challenges such as treatment nonresponse and long-term disease progression still exist. Mechanism-based therapies, particularly biologics targeting type 2 inflammatory pathways and barrier dysfunction, represent a promising frontier for more personalized treatment strategies.

However, allergic reactions resulting from the accidental ingestion of food contaminated with Alternaria have only rarely been reported. We report two cases of patients with respiratory allergies who were sensitized to Alternariaalternata, with asthma exacerbations in humid environments and during summer thunderstorms. Following the ingestion of mold-contaminated food, both patients experienced anaphylaxis. (1) Male, 33\u00a0years old: skin prick-tests (SPT) and sIgE were positive only for Alternariaalternata (sIgE rAlt a1 at 10.5kU/L). Multiplex IgE (ISAC\u00ae) revealed strong sensitization to Alt a1 and less sensitization to Thaumatin-Like Protein (TLP) from kiwi.

The ingestion of food contaminated with aeroallergens can trigger severe allergic reactions in sensitized patients, as described in \"pancake syndrome\" associated with dust mite contamination. In the present cases, reactions were related neither to true food allergy nor to cross-reactivity between aeroallergens and food allergens, but rather to food contamination with Alternariaalternata.

Human omics and biomarker studies define candidate pathways, but causal attribution of specific nodes to lesion formation and remodeling requires perturbable in vivo systems. Here, we present a \"module-first\" framework that links murine induction paradigms to epithelial-immune-stromal circuits and to a minimal, module-matched endpoint set for reproducible causal inference. We summarize commonly used CRSwNP-like protocols (allergen/protease \u00b1 SEB, aeroallergen + SEB, innate trigger-enriched paradigms, and modifier layers), emphasize operational pathology terminology (\"polyp-like lesion\" versus \"true polyp\"), and propose a uniform causal template for validated pathway modules (alarmins/IL-33-NF-\u03baB, type 2/ILC2-eosinophil, IL-17A/neutrophil, Wnt/EMT remodeling, and JAK/STAT kinase convergence).

This module-first roadmap is intended to accelerate mechanism-linked discovery and preclinical validation of tractable drug targets in CRSwNP.

Males have higher asthma prevalence in adolescence, while females exhibit higher rates in adulthood. Reduced mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells are found in severe asthmatic airway disease. We hypothesize MAIT cells modulate airway inflammation and are regulated by sex hormones through their cognate hormone receptors. We compared circulating MAIT cells and ex vivo MAIT cell activation with MR-1 ligand in controls and asthmatic individuals. MAIT cells were significantly lower in asthmatic males and females compared to healthy controls. MAIT cells derived from male and female asthma patients exhibited higher levels of estrogen receptors (ERs) than those from sex-matched healthy controls, and ex vivo treatment with estrogen significantly decreased IFN-\u03b3 production in asthmatics. Estrogen treatment did not reduce IFN-\u03b3 in MAIT cells from healthy individuals. To explore the effect of estrogen on MAIT cells, we used the murine Alternaria alternata challenge model. Adoptive transfer of G-protein coupled ER (GPER-1) antagonist (G36)-treated MAIT cells into Rag1 knockout mice (Rag1-/-) increased A. alternata-induced inflammation compared to those receiving MAIT cells without GPER-1 blockade. These findings suggest GPER-1 as a novel target to reduce airway disease in the asthmatic population.",

This definition overlaps with paucigranulocytic asthma (PGA). However, T2-biomarkers fluctuate over time, especially during glucocorticoid therapy, leading to potential over-diagnosis of T2-low asthma. Advancing beyond traditional endotyping is required for precision medicine. Alarmin-driven asthma [interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25] can drive inflammation even without high T2-markers, but these are difficult to measure clinically. Genetic testing, such as the rs7216389 SNP (17q21 locus, GSDMB/ORMDL3), offers a stable alternative. The T allele is linked to childhood-onset asthma, viral-induced alarmin release, and epithelial dysfunction. Notably, carriers of the T allele are more likely to respond to allergen immunotherapy (AIT). This genetic marker is not subjected to treatment-dependent modification and segregates with both T2-driven and alarmin-driven asthma. We propose that rs7216389 genotyping could be explored, within a treatable trait framework, to improve the mechanistic characterization of paucigranulocytic or low-biomarker asthma. While current data are associative, this one-time genetic assessment might contribute to research-driven stratification of \"hidden\" T2- or alarmin-leaning endotypes, potentially guiding the use of AIT and upstream biologics like anti-TSLP.",

This review synthesizes the transition from clinical phenotyping to deep molecular endotyping, establishing a framework for precision medicine. We highlight the insufficiency of absolute eosinophil counts, proposing eosinophil cationic protein (ECP) and eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) as superior activation metrics. Furthermore, we explore Type 2 drivers (IL-4/IL-13, periostin) and epithelial alarmins like TSLP.

We also analyze YKL-40 and surfactant protein D (SP-D) as markers of remodeling and barrier permeability, alongside microRNAs-specifically miR-21-in corticosteroid resistance. We conclude that managing refractory asthma requires shifting from reactive symptom control to an integrated analysis of multi-omic biomarkers.

Current biologics only partially address type 2-low, neutrophilic, and mixed granulocytic phenotypes, as well as airway remodeling and persistent exacerbations in type 2-high patients. Emerging strategies aim to overcome these limitations by targeting upstream alarmins (TSLP and IL-33), dual or trispecific cytokine pathways, and IgE-producing B cells. Novel Fc-engineered and dual-receptor anti-IgE monoclonal antibodies enhance the magnitude and durability of IgE suppression. Multi-target constructs, including bispecific and trispecific agents, simultaneously block overlapping type 2 and non-type 2 pathways, which could improve outcomes in heterogeneous and refractory populations. Preclinical and early-phase clinical studies suggest that these approaches may provide disease-modifying effects and support biomarker-guided personalized therapy. This review summarizes the current landscape of approved biologics and the rationale for next-generation therapies in severe asthma. It highlights mechanistic insights, clinical efficacy, and future directions for precision-targeted treatment strategies.",
"41904701": "ID: 41904701\nTitle: STAT6-IP-dependent inhibition of type 2 innate and Th2 adaptive immunity in the murine lung.\nAbstract: Type 2 airway inflammation is one of the main characteristics of allergen-induced asthma. Evidence from animal studies supports a model in which inhalation of allergens triggers epithelial cell release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-33, which activate a number of innate cells in the lung, including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), which produce large amounts of IL-13 and IL-5, to amplify allergic inflammation. Amongst other activities, ILC2-derived IL-13 promotes DC migration to the lung draining mediastinal lymph nodes (MLNs). Our published data indicate that topical administration of an immunomodulatory peptide, STAT6-IP, at the time of antigen priming inhibits T helper 2 adaptive immunity in murine models of asthma, at least in part, through inhibition of dendritic cells (DCs). In this study, we sought to clarify inhibitory activity of STAT6-IP toward DC responses in the lung and the lung draining MLNs induced by IL-33 and ovalbumin (OVA). Our data show that STAT6-IP reduced expansion of total and IL-13-producing ILC2s in OVA/IL-33-treated mice. STAT6-IP also inhibited OVA/IL-33-induced recruitment to and activation of lung DCs, which in turn reduced DC migration and CD4+ Th2 differentiation in the lung MLNs. When challenged several weeks later with OVA, allergic inflammatory responses, including airway hyperresponsiveness, were reduced in STAT6-IP-treated mice. STAT6-IP retained inhibitory activity whether delivered before or after OVA/IL-33 and activity coincided with expansion of IL-13-producing ILC2s. Altogether, our findings provide insight into mechanisms by which STAT6-IP interacts with innate immune cells of the lung to reduce maladaptive type 2 innate and T helper 2 adaptive immunity.",

It contributes to a spectrum of respiratory diseases such as allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, allergic fungal rhinosinusitis, and allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis, often associated with severe symptoms and poor disease control. Current management of fungal allergy relies on environmental control, pharmacotherapy, and allergen immunotherapy (AIT). However, AIT for fungal allergy remains limited by the lack of standardized, high-quality fungal extracts and low-certainty clinical evidence, despite promising results in small-sample trials, particularly for Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium herbarum. Recent advances in biologics targeting type 2 inflammation show promise for severe fungal-driven diseases. Key challenges include molecular allergy diagnosis, extract standardization, optimizing AIT strategies through novel formulations, and conducting large-scale randomized trials. Future progress hinges on collaborative efforts to develop precise diagnostics, improve therapeutic consistency, and validate combination approaches such as AIT with biologics. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the epidemiology, immunopathogenesis, and treatment of fungal allergy, highlighting the urgent needs and further clinical research to improve patient outcomes.",
"41922900": "ID: 41922900\nTitle: Tim-3 agonist restrains ILC2 function and attenuates airway hyperreactivity via NLK pathway.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is promoted by type 2 inflammation involving cytokines such as IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, with group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) playing a key pathogenic role. Here, we identify T cell immunoglobulin and mucin domain-containing protein 3 (Tim-3) as a negative regulator of ILC2 function. Tim-3 expression is upregulated in activated pulmonary ILC2s, and engagement with Tim-3 agonists inhibits ILC2 activation, proliferation, and type 2 cytokine production via the Nemo Like Kinase (NLK) signaling pathway and suppression of mitochondrial metabolism. In vivo, Tim-3 agonists alleviate airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and inflammation in both IL-33- and Alternaria alternata-induced AHR models, while ILC2-specific Tim-3 deletion exacerbates AHR. These results are confirmed in human ILC2s and humanized mice, supporting the translational relevance. Our findings establish Tim-3 as an inhibitory checkpoint for ILC2s and suggest its potential as a therapeutic target in allergic asthma and other ILC2-mediated diseases.",

This paper systematically reviews the cutting-edge applications of nanoparticles (NPs) in targeting the epithelial alarmin signaling axis and its downstream immune cells, including dendritic cells, macrophages, Th2 cells, and regulatory T cells. By systematically reviewing research progress on nanoparticles in allergic asthma treatment, this review provides crucial theoretical support and technical frameworks for developing precise, efficient, and less-side-effect asthma therapies. It offers forward-looking guidance for advancing asthma treatment from laboratory to clinical translation.",

Advances in the understanding of CRS immunopathophysiology have led to the development of biologic therapies targeting specific inflammatory pathways. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the downstream biologics and the latest update on the next generation upstream biologics therapies in CRSwNP, with focus on endotype-driven treatment selection. Biologic therapies targeting downstream mediators of type 2 inflammation, including immunoglobulin E and interleukins interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13, have demonstrated substantial clinical benefit in selected patients. Nevertheless, CRSwNP commonly involves overlapping inflammatory endotypes, which may limit treatment response. Newer biologics targeting upstream epithelial-derived cytokines offer broader approach by modulating multiple inflammatory pathways simultaneously and may address current therapeutic gaps. The development of long-acting biologics also improves treatment convenience and adherence. Biologic therapy has shifted CRSwNP management towards a more personalized, mechanism-based approach. Upstream-targeted treatments represent an important step forward, particularly for patients with refractory or mixed disease. Future research should focus on biomarker-guided therapy and long-term clinical outcomes.",
"41956382": "ID: 41956382\nTitle: Heterogeneity and clinical relevance of group 2 innate lymphoid cells subsets in nasal polyps.\nAbstract: Chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps is characterized by type 2 (T2) inflammation with elevated IL-5 and IL-13. Although group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) drive T2 inflammation, their subset diversity and clinical relevance in nasal polyps (NPs) remain unclear. We investigated cellular sources of T2 cytokines, subset heterogeneity of ILC2s, and the relationship between ILC2 subsets and clinical severity in chronic rhinosinusitis with NPs. ILC2s and CD4+ T cells were isolated from NP tissue and analyzed for cytokine production. ILC2s from 6 NP and 4 peripheral blood samples underwent single-cell RNA sequencing. Differential gene expression, subset heterogeneity, and pseudotime trajectory analyses were performed. Flow cytometry validated ILC2 subsets and associations with clinical parameters. Under ex vivo conditions, NP-derived ILC2s produced higher IL-5 and IL-13 levels than TH2 cells. NP-derived ILC2s showed downregulation of early developmental and trafficking genes (CD48, S1PR1) and upregulation of T2-associated cytokines (IL5, IL13), chemokines (XCL1, CXCL8), remodeling factors (AREG, TNFSF14), and METRNL. Four ILC2 subsets reflecting activation states were identified: migratory (tissue-homing with less activation), transitional (intermediate activation), inflammatory (high activation and T2 cytokines), and exhausted-like (expression of inhibitory receptors [eg, TIGIT]). The combined number of T2 cytokine-enriched subsets (transitional, inflammatory, and exhausted-like ILC2s) correlated with Lund-Mackay computed tomography scores. Inflammatory and exhausted-like ILC2s were associated with clinical symptom severity. ILC2s are one of the important effector populations driving local T2 inflammation in NPs and include 4 subsets with specific clinical associations. Subset-level ILC2 profiling may clarify chronic rhinosinusitis with NP pathophysiology and inform clinical stratification.",
"41960844": "ID: 41960844\nTitle: KCNJ2 is Required for NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation That Drives Allergic Airway Inflammation and Remodeling.\nAbstract: Airway inflammation and remodeling are cardinal features of asthma pathogenesis. Genome-wide association studies have shown that several SNPs of KCNJ2, a member of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel family, are associated with asthma in patients. However, the role of KCNJ2 in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma remains unknown. Here, we demonstrate that the Kcnj2 serves as a critical regulator of airway epithelial inflammation and remodeling. KCNJ2 expression is significantly reduced in the airway epithelium of asthmatic patients, which is associated with goblet cell metaplasia and mucus overproduction. Epithelial cell depletion of Kcnj2 attenuates airway inflammation, Th2 inflammatory response, goblet cell metaplasia, and mucus overproduction in the airways of asthmatic mice. In cultured primary airway epithelial cells of asthmatic patients, KCNJ2 inhibition also hampers goblet cell metaplasia, mucus production, and lung epithelial cell-derived alarmins expression. This process appears to be mediated, at least in part, through inhibition of NLRP3 by restricting Ca2+ influx and K+ efflux, as pharmacological activation of NLRP3 diminishes the KCNJ2 inhibition-ameliorated airway phenotypes. These results provide insight into the role of Kcnj2 in airway inflammation and remodeling in asthmatic conditions.",
"41993995": "ID: 41993995\nTitle: Concordance between different methods of detecting fungal-specific IgE antibody in asthma.\nAbstract: Documenting fungal sensitization plays a pivotal diagnostic role in asthma endotypes. Diagnosis relies heavily on detecting fungal-specific immunoglobulin E (sIgE), yet variability in allergen representation, cross-reactivity, and assay performance complicates standardization. Although ImmunoCAP is regarded as the reference method, many commercial kits are available worldwide, with varying accuracy. A scoping review was conducted using Arksey and O'Malley's five-stage framework. Literature searches in PubMed, Scopus, and ProQuest MEDLINE identified studies comparing fungal sIgE detection kits. Inclusion criteria required human studies evaluating fungal allergens in asthma-related diseases. Data from 16 eligible studies and 32 diagnostic kits were analyzed, focusing on assay characteristics, concordance, sensitivity, and specificity. There are 32 commercial kits available, which vary in detection principles, including enzyme immunoassays, immunoblots, and microarrays, with positivity thresholds ranging from 0.1 to 0.35\u2005kUA/L. Most assays identified Aspergillus and Alternaria-specific IgE, while fewer detected Cladosporium, Candida, or Trichophyton. Concordance with ImmunoCAP ranged from moderate to substantial, with the strongest agreement reported for Alternaria. ImmunoCAP demonstrated the highest sensitivity and specificity; however, emerging systems, such as the GOLD chip and MeDALL microarray, showed promising improvements in multiplex capacity and detection limits. Meanwhile, several commercial assays have no publications documenting their diagnostic performance. Fungal sIgE detection remains heterogeneous. Newer microarray-based assays offer enhanced sensitivity and broader allergen profiling. Standardizing cutoff thresholds and incorporating recombinant fungal allergens are crucial for strengthening diagnostic precision and improving the clinical management of fungal asthma.",
"42014025": "ID: 42014025\nTitle: Emerging Targeted Therapies in Asthma: From Upstream Epithelial Biology to Novel Biologic and Small-Molecule Strategies.\nAbstract: Biologic and targeted small-molecule therapies have revolutionized the management of severe asthma by specifically targeting key inflammatory pathways. These advances have led to significant reductions in exacerbations, improved lung function, and decreased dependence on corticosteroids. However, a substantial number of patients still experience breakthrough exacerbations and inadequate disease control, indicating that there are residual inflammatory mechanisms beyond the classical type-2 pathways. Current biologics that target immunoglobulin E, interleukin-5, interleukin-4 receptor alpha, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin show efficacy in biomarker-defined populations. Yet, their clinical benefits are closely tied to baseline type-2 biomarkers, and they often fall short for patients with non-type-2 or mixed inflammatory phenotypes. Emerging evidence from transcriptomic and clinical studies suggests that factors such as epithelial dysfunction, innate immune activation, and tissue repair pathways contribute to ongoing disease instability, even with targeted cytokine blockade. These insights have spurred the development of new therapeutic strategies, including biologics aimed at upstream epithelial alarmins like interleukin-33, oral small-molecule inhibitors such as Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitors, lineage-directed eosinophil-suppressing agents, inhaled biologics, and nanobody-based therapies. Additionally, long-acting and ultra- long-acting biologics are designed to enhance treatment durability and adherence, while bispecific antibodies integrate both upstream and downstream inflammatory inhibition into a single molecular construct. These advancements signify a shift towards broader and more sustained modulation of inflammatory pathways. Future progress in asthma treatment will hinge on integrating insights from epithelial biology, refining biomarker- guided patient selection, and developing multispecific and upstream-targeting therapies to address persistent disease heterogeneity and improve long-term clinical outcomes.",
"42028242": "ID: 42028242\nTitle: Overview of allergic disease: Pathogenesis of allergic inflammation - WAO White Book on Allergy 2026 - 2.1.\nAbstract: Allergic inflammation underlies several diseases such as asthma, rhinitis, and atopic dermatitis). It involves a great array of cells and molecules of innate and adaptive immunity. Components of the innate inflammatory pathways, among them epithelium receptors, alarmins and ILC2, are the earliest participants in some inflammatory processes, mainly the house dust mite induced bronchial inflammation in asthma. The importance of innate mechanisms, not only as a necessary step for inducing adaptive Th2 response but also to maintain chronic inflammation, is being increasingly recognized in recent years. In addition, the specificity of the Th2 cells and IgE is not only a crucial component of allergic inflammation but allows also identification of the causal inducers and their effects on eosinophils, neutrophils, and basophils recruitment and activation. The regulatory mechanisms of the allergic responses include Treg and Breg activity but the most important action to control this process is stopping the specific allergen exposure. However, this is very difficult to achieve in asthma because, in general, not all the allergens involved can be identified; in addition, non-immune pathways play also a role. Since most people exposed to proallergic environments do not develop allergic diseases and it is well known that these conditions run in families, their genetic and epigenetic influences are a matter of intensive research. In this review we make an update of the basic mechanisms of allergic inflammation, trying to identify important pathways that involve both innate and adaptive immunity, including environmental factors that can modify important regulators of immunity such as intestinal microbiota and air pollution.",
"42032301": "ID: 42032301\nTitle: IL-9 and Blimp-1 protect the transcriptional identity of group 2 innate lymphocytes in allergic asthma.\nAbstract: Allergic asthma is driven by type 2 immune responses, including type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although ILC2s are activated by the tissue alarmins interleukin (IL)-33 and IL-25, these signals do not intrinsically enforce type 2 identity and the mechanisms that maintain type 2 cytokine expression remain unclear. Here we show that allergen-induced IL-33 and IL-25 rapidly induce IL-9, which in turn upregulates the transcriptional repressor Blimp-1 in ILC2s. Blimp-1 sustains type 2 immunity by directly repressing type 1 inflammatory programs, including expression of interferon-\u03b3 and tumor necrosis factor. Deletion of Blimp-1 in ILC2s increased type 1 cytokine production and reduced IL-5 and IL-13 expression, eosinophil recruitment and mucus production in the lung. In contrast, IL-9 expression was enhanced in the absence of Blimp-1, leading to increased mast cell recruitment. Together, these findings identify Blimp-1 as a key regulator of ILC2 transcriptional fidelity that stabilizes type 2 inflammation while constraining divergent inflammatory programs during allergic responses.",
"42050607": "ID: 42050607\nTitle: Fungal exposure exacerbates allergen-driven asthma in a two-hit mouse model.\nAbstract: BACKGROUND: Severe and exacerbation-prone asthma is often triggered by environmental fungi, yet the immunopathologic impact of live spore exposure remains unclear. Traditional murine models using fungal extracts do not reflect the complexity of inhaled spores during real-world exposures. We sought to establish a clinically relevant model of fungal-driven asthma exacerbation and to define its inflammatory, structural, and molecular features. METHODS: Ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mice were challenged intratracheally with live Aspergillus fumigatus or Alternaria alternata spores; spore-only and OVA-only groups served as controls. Airway inflammation and remodeling were assessed by histology and morphometric analysis, including epithelial and peribronchial smooth muscle thickness. Pulmonary mechanics were evaluated using invasive lung function testing. Immune responses were characterized by flow cytometry and cytokine quantification in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum. Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1) levels were measured to evaluate matrix-remodeling\u2013associated responses. RESULTS: Live spore exposure alone caused modest inflammation and airway hyperresponsiveness. In contrast, spore challenge in OVA-primed mice elicited a markedly amplified phenotype with dense peribronchial/perivascular infiltrates, extensive goblet-cell metaplasia, epithelial disruption, increased epithelial and smooth muscle thickness, and excessive mucus accumulation. Lung function demonstrated substantial increases in airway resistance and lung elastance, consistent with an exacerbation-like state. Co-challenged mice showed increased frequencies of IL-4\u207a CD4\u207a T cells, an early increase in an ILC2-like Lin\u207bCD44\u207aCD25\u207a population, and elevated IL-4, IL-13, and IL-17 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and serum, indicating a mixed type 2 and type 17 cytokine milieu. TIMP1 was robustly increased and was associated with the most marked inflammatory, remodeling, and physiologic abnormalities. This two-hit model recapitulates key hallmarks of fungus-associated exacerbation-like allergic airway disease and provides a translational platform for testing interventions and evaluating remodeling-linked biomarkers.",

Beyond their traditional role as a physical barrier against antibiotics, recent evidence positions biofilms as sophisticated immune modulators that actively perpetuate mucosal dysbiosis. This review synthesizes the pathological continuum of biofilm-associated CRS, elucidating how biofilm derived pathogen associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) trigger the release of epithelial alarmins (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25), thereby fueling a maladaptive Type 2 inflammatory loop. We further examine bacterial survival strategies, such as the formation of small colony variants (SCVs) and intracellular \"Trojan Horse\" reservoirs, which render conventional functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and antimicrobial monotherapies insufficient for complete eradication. Crucially, we discuss the current diagnostic disconnect where standard cultures fail to detect biofilm burdens. Finally, we propose a therapeutic paradigm shift from a purely bactericidal approach to one of ecological restoration. By integrating cutting-edge strategies, including matrix-degrading enzymes, bacteriophage cocktails, and Nasal Microbiota Transplantation (NMT), we construct a multi-dimensional framework aiming to restore sinonasal homeostasis. Together, these emerging strategies support a shift from pathogen suppression alone toward ecological and immunologic rebalancing of the sinonasal mucosa, offering a more durable conceptual framework for overcoming treatment recalcitrance.",

Early after their discovery, group 2 ILCs (ILC2s) were found to produce high levels of IL5 and IL13 upon stimulation by epithelial-derived alarmins IL33, IL25, and TSLP. Since then, a robust amount of literature has emerged that places ILC2s central to type 2 inflammatory diseases, including rhinosinusitis and asthma. Recent work continues to rapidly expand our knowledge of how ILC2s are modulated and contribute to immune disease and maintain homeostasis. This review will focus on recent updates to our understanding of ILC2s in the context of neural and endocrine modulation, memory/trained immunity, cellular fate/plasticity, and adaptive type 2 responses.",

However, the mechanisms driving tight junctions (TJs) disruption remain unclear. We aimed to elucidate the role of IL-13 in TJs breakdown and epithelial remodeling, and to evaluate whether dupilumab can restore epithelial integrity under Type-2 inflammatory conditions. Differentially expressed TJs-related genes were identified by integrating the GSE136825 dataset with clinical samples from 23 healthy controls and 73 CRSwNP patients. The effects of IFN-\u03b3, IL-13, IL-17A, and dupilumab on epithelial barrier function and claudin-10 (CLDN10) expression were investigated in seven human nasal epithelial cells using transepithelial electrical resistance (TER), RT-qPCR, WB, and immunofluorescence. Statistical analyses were performed using the chi-square test, one-way ANOVA, Wilcoxon signed-rank test, and Spearman's rank correlation. CLDN10 was identified as the most significantly downregulated TJs in CRSwNP and negatively correlated with eosinophil infiltration (r = -0.4414, p < 0.0001). In vitro, IL-13 markedly reduced CLDN10 and TER levels, and induced epithelial remodeling with fewer club cells and ciliated cells and more goblet cells (all p < 0.05). Additionally, dupilumab effectively mitigated IL-13-induced CLDN10 loss, restored barrier integrity, and normalized epithelial alarmins, including IL-25 and TSLP expression (all p < 0.05). IL-13-driven Type-2 inflammation disrupts nasal epithelial barrier integrity by downregulating CLDN10 and altering epithelial cell differentiation. Dupilumab counteracts these effects by restoring CLDN10 expression and epithelial barrier function, highlighting CLDN10 as a crucial mediator of barrier dysfunction and a potential therapeutic target in CRSwNP.",

In this study, we identify S100A9 as a macrophage-derived alarmin that is markedly elevated in CRSwNP tissues. Integrative analyses of public bulk transcriptomic datasets and single-cell RNA-sequencing atlases demonstrated that S100A9 expression was predominantly enriched in macrophage clusters, where it showed strong co-expression with canonical M1-associated markers, while exhibiting limited expression in epithelial cell subsets. Spatial and correlation analyses further supported a close association between S100A9\u207a macrophages and epithelial barrier-related gene signatures. Functionally, shRNA-mediated silencing of S100A9 attenuated M1-like macrophage polarization, as evidenced by reduced expression of pro-inflammatory mediators and polarization markers, accompanied by a shift toward a less inflammatory macrophage phenotype. Conditioned media derived from S100A9-deficient macrophages significantly mitigated epithelial injury, leading to restoration of epithelial barrier integrity, as indicated by enhanced expression of tight junction proteins, including occludin and claudins. Importantly, S100A9 knockdown disrupted the pathogenic macrophage-epithelial inflammatory feedback loop, thereby dampening sustained inflammatory signaling and limiting epithelial barrier breakdown that perpetuates tissue damage in CRSwNP. Clinically, elevated S100A9 levels correlated with disease severity indices and effectively distinguished a macrophage-enriched inflammatory endotype of CRSwNP, highlighting S100A9 as both a mechanistic driver and a potential biomarker for disease stratification. Collectively, these findings position S100A9 as a mechanistic mediator and a promising therapeutic target for CRSwNP.",

Azithromycin reduces exacerbations clinically, but its effects on epithelial antiviral immunity remain unclear. This study investigated whether azithromycin treatment enhances airway epithelial antiviral responses and modulates alarmin concentration in patients with uncontrolled asthma. In the investigator-initiated, double-blind, placebo-controlled AZIMUNE trial, 40 adults with uncontrolled asthma were randomized (1:1) to azithromycin (500\u2005mg, three times/week) or placebo (500\u2005mg/week) for 12\u2005weeks. Bronchial epithelial cells were obtained via bronchoscopy at baseline and after week 12, and cultured and infected ex vivo with rhinovirus. Protein levels of IFN-\u03b2, IFN-\u03bb, alarmins (IL-33 and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP)), and proinflammatory cytokines were quantified. Azithromycin significantly increased rhinovirus-induced concentration of IFN-\u03b2 (p=0.047) and IFN-\u03bb (p=0.013) in azithromycin group (n=16) compared with baseline, whereas no change was seen in the placebo group (n=16). Azithromycin treatment also reduced IL-33 concentration (p=0.001), while TSLP levels were unaffected. Clinical outcomes improved numerically in the azithromycin group, but differences versus placebo were not statistically significant. Azithromycin enhances epithelial antiviral immunity and attenuates IL-33 concentration in response to rhinoviral infection in asthma. The dual immunomodulatory effect of azithromycin supports its role as adjunctive therapy to prevent virus-induced exacerbations.",

Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an epithelial-derived alarmin cytokine that functions as a key upstream orchestrator of both type 2 and non-type 2 inflammatory pathways in asthma pathogenesis. Tezepelumab, a human monoclonal antibody targeting TSLP, represents the first biologic approved for severe asthma without phenotype- or biomarker-restricted eligibility, including type 2-low disease, with the caveat that the magnitude of benefit is somewhat smaller in T2-low patients. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of tezepelumab's molecular pharmacology, structural basis of target engagement, clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic profile, pivotal clinical trial evidence, safety data, and regulatory positioning. We systematically evaluate tezepelumab's mechanistic rationale, therapeutic efficacy, biomarker correlations, and real-world implementation considerations, including pharmacoeconomic and access barriers. Furthermore, we critically discuss the current limitations of clinical trial evidence, population selection biases, real-world applicability concerns, and the need for long-term outcome data. Future research directions encompassing predictive biomarker development, expansion into non-asthma indications, real-world evidence generation, and advanced mechanistic studies are outlined.

"42121933": "ID: 42121933\nTitle: Eosinophil-Epithelial Cell Crosstalk at Mucosal Barriers: From Homeostatic Regulation to Disease Pathogenesis.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are multifunctional granulocytes that reside constitutively within mucosal tissues, where they engage in bidirectional communication with the epithelial cells lining the respiratory and gastrointestinal (GI) tracts. Once regarded solely as terminal effectors of the type 2 immunity, eosinophils are now recognized as key regulators of epithelial homeostasis and barrier integrity. Epithelial cells initiate crosstalk by releasing the alarm cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), and IL-25, which drive eosinophil recruitment, activation, and tissue retention. Conversely, eosinophils modulate epithelial function through the release of granule proteins, cytokines, and growth factors with both damaging and reparative consequences. In the airway, this crosstalk underpins the pathogenesis of eosinophilic asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), in part via eosinophil-derived mediators that disrupt tight junction integrity and fuel remodeling. In the GI tract, homeostatic eosinophils support villous architecture, epithelial turnover, and goblet cell differentiation through microbiota-driven IL-33 signals and neuropeptide-mediated neuroimmune pathways, whereas dysregulated crosstalk promotes eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This review synthesizes recent research to delineate the molecular mechanisms of eosinophil-epithelial crosstalk across mucosal compartments, highlight tissue-specific differences and shared mechanistic themes, and discuss the implications of these findings for targeted therapy.",

Sensitization to A alternata has been linked to poor asthma control and increased morbidity, yet its prevalence varies widely across populations due to environmental and methodological differences. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and demographic predictors of A alternata sensitization among patients with moderate to severe asthma. A cross-sectional study was conducted from March to September 2024 among 80 patients with physician-diagnosed moderate or severe asthma in Shiraz, Iran. Participants underwent skin prick testing (SPT) for A. alternata. Demographic and clinical data were collected and analyzed using descriptive statistics, \u03c72 tests, and logistic regression. Among the 80 patients (mean age 29.03\u2009\u00b1\u200920.45 years; 53.8% male), 28.8% tested positive for Alternaria sensitization. Sensitization was significantly more prevalent in patients younger than 18 years (44.1%) compared to adults (17.4%). No significant difference was observed based on sex. Although sensitization was more frequent in patients with severe asthma (40.6%) than moderate asthma (20.8%), this trend was not statistically significant. Logistic regression identified younger age as the only independent predictor of sensitization. Alternaria alternata sensitization is common among individuals with moderate to severe asthma, particularly in younger patients. These findings underscore the importance of routine fungal allergen screening in asthmatics, especially children, to inform targeted management strategies and potentially reduce asthma-related morbidity.",

This article reviews the molecular basis of aeroallergen-driven skin disease in AD and CU as well as management strategies. Aeroallergen triggered skin disease involves epithelial barrier disruption, innate immune activation, and neuroimmune amplification. Allergen disruption of the epithelial barrier through PAR-2 and TLR-mediated signaling, induces alarmins that sustain an IL-31-driven itch-scratch cycle. Biologics targeting these pathways reshape these cytokine networks, while checkpoint inhibitors show promise for durable remission. In CU, house dust mite sensitization correlates with basophil hyperreactivity and greater disease severity. Aeroallergen triggered inflammation involves overlapping barrier dysfunction, innate immune activation, and neuroimmune pathways that extend beyond traditional IgE-mediated allergic responses. Future research should prioritize endotype-based patient stratification and quantify the impact of aeroallergen exposure on chronic skin disease trajectory.",

One critical area of this research lies in understanding the role of fungal spores, which have not been extensively studied for their impact on asthma exacerbations compared to pollen, as well as the influence of certain pollutants like ozone on airborne allergens, which is not well documented. This study aimed to identify the environmental parameters that influence the dispersal & distribution of airborne allergens and how these factors are associated with asthma presentations. Analysis was conducted on 475 days of data collected over a 6-year period between October-December. Using eight global negative binomial generalised linear mixed model formulations combined with a model selection approach, we analysed airborne levels of grass pollen, Alternaria spp., and Cladosporium spp. from Metropolitan Melbourne, along with weather values from the Bureau of Meteorology (precipitation, temperature, humidity, dew point, wind direction, wind speed, air pressure) and pollution values from the Environmental Protection Authority (CO, NO2, O3, SO2) to identify effects on asthma presentations from five emergency departments. Rainfall and O3 levels had significant positive relationships with number of asthma presentations, with Incidence Response Ratios of 1.074-1.088 and 1.05-1.06, respectively. High allergen levels (allergenPC1, representing overall levels of grass pollen and fungal spores) had an interactive effect with high rainfall creating positive association with asthma cases. On days of low rainfall, allergen levels had minimal impact on asthma presentations, but on days of high rainfall, there were substantially greater numbers of presentations when allergen levels were also high (e.g. a predicted four-fold increase on days with 45\u00a0mm of rain). This impact of overall allergen count highlights the role of several prominent allergens in seasonal asthma, as well as potential cross reactivity between pollen and spores. The results of this study will inform researchers of several environmental monitoring parameters that should be included in risk forecasts for ETSA to allow for a more robust and accurate detection system and help improve public health responses across Australia.",

New evidence is emerging regarding phenotypic and symptom variations in diverse EoE populations. EoE pathogenesis involves impaired epithelial barrier function, antigen-driven Type 2 inflammation, and eosinophilic infiltration, yet eosinophil and mast cell depletion does not improve patient symptoms. Recent research has unveiled new potential mechanisms of epithelial dysfunction, including the role of epithelial alarmins in inducing downstream inflammatory cascades. New clinical scoring tools are emerging to improve diagnosis and monitor disease severity. Therapeutic approaches for EoE are rapidly evolving with a wider range of therapies becoming available. Dietary elimination, topical corticosteroids, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and anti-type 2 biological agents aim to provide histologic and symptomatic relief. Overall, this review aims to present recent advances in the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of EoE, while also extending this information to the broader field of eosinophilic gastrointestinal diseases (EGIDs).",

We aimed to characterise Alternaria sensitisation trajectories from childhood to adulthood; we compared skin prick testing (SPT), whole-extract specific IgE and rAlt a 1, and assessed their longitudinal association with asthma and rhinitis in the Isle of Wight birth cohort. Participants were assessed at 4, 10, 18 and 26\u2009years. Alternaria sensitisation was measured by SPT (all ages) and serum IgE to whole Alternaria extract and rAlt a 1 (10, 18, 26\u2009years). \"Any Alternaria\" denoted positivity to any assay. Alternaria, asthma and rhinitis trajectories (10-18-26\u2009years) were classified as Never, Any positive or Persistent. Associations used \u03c72 trend tests and Poisson regression with robust errors. Among 434 participants with complete Alternaria data, trajectories were Never 84.1%, Any 11.1% and Persistent 4.8%. Alternaria trajectories showed graded associations with asthma, and more strongly with rhinitis (trend p\u2009<\u20090.001 for both), with highest risks for persistent asthma and rhinitis. Across ages, rAlt a 1 discriminated asthma risk better than whole-extract in youth, whereas effects converged by 26\u2009years. For rhinitis, effect sizes were similar across assays and ages. Assay agreement strengthened with age, becoming substantial by 18\u2009years and near-perfect by 26\u2009years. Alternaria sensitisation consolidates from late adolescence and, when persistent, tracks with persistent asthma and rhinitis. Longitudinal analysis shows rAlt a 1 discriminates asthma risk better than whole-extract in youth, while assays are largely interchangeable in adulthood.",

Renal lipotoxicity and chronic inflammation form a self-perpetuating cycle driving DKD, yet multitarget interventions remain underexplored. We hypothesized that simultaneous inhibition of ANGPTL3 and IL-33, two key regulators of lipid metabolism and the inflammatory-fibrotic axis, would ameliorate DKD, and that integrating both antagonistic activities into a single bifunctional molecule offers translational advantages. We engineered a bifunctional fusion protein, FD03-sST2, comprising an anti-ANGPTL3 nanobody fused to the IL-33 decoy receptor sST2. In high-fat diet-fed db/db mice, FD03-sST2 significantly improved renal function (ACR, BUN, urine volume), reduced serum/hepatic lipids, and attenuated renal lipid accumulation. Mechanistically, it suppressed renal inflammation via NF-\u03baB/NLRP3 inhibition and ameliorated fibrosis by suppressing the IL-33/ST2/ILC2 axis (reducing renal IL-33/GATA3 signals and inhibiting IL-33-induced profibrotic factors from ILC2s). Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses confirmed attenuation of DKD-associated dysregulation. This study identifies a DKD cascade wherein lipotoxicity triggers IL-33 release, amplifying injury through inflammation and fibrosis. By targeting ANGPTL3 and IL-33 simultaneously, FD03-sST2 interrupts this vicious cycle at two nodes-improving lipid metabolism while suppressing downstream inflammatory and fibrotic signaling-providing an integrated alternative to separate biologics.",

However, precise mechanisms remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of DEP exposure on airway innate immune cells, focusing on macrophages/monocytes, and their role in asthma exacerbation. Using a murine asthma model, we sensitized and challenged 6-week-old BALB/c mice with ovalbumin (OVA). These mice underwent 10 repeated OVA inhalations over three weeks, with and without concurrent DEP inhalation. Airway hyperresponsiveness and airway inflammation were assessed. We characterized immune cell populations and their crosstalk,\u00a0focusing on mouse Ly6C+ monocyte-derived macrophages (MoMs) and human CD14+CD16- MoMs. DEP exposure worsened histological scores in the asthmatic lungs and altered the OVA-induced type 2 inflammation profile, leading to increased type 3 inflammation. In terms of lung macrophages, DEP inhalation resulted in the depletion of SiglecF+CD11c+CD11b- resident alveolar macrophages and an increase in SiglecF-CD11b+ MoMs, particularly Ly6C+ MoMs. DEP-exposed Ly6C+ MoMs isolated from the OVA model (DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA) heightened neutrophil chemotaxis and the expression of fibrosis-related genes. DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA also promoted the differentiation of innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) and T helper (Th) cells toward ILC3s and Th17 cells, respectively. Ex vivo DEP-Ly6C+ MoMsOVA transfer also induced significant type 3 inflammation with SiglecF+ neutrophils. In vitro DEP-treated human CD14+CD16- MoMs upregulated neutrophil chemotaxis-related genes and exacerbated non-type 2 inflammation. In conclusion, DEP exposure exacerbates asthma by inducing mixed type 2 and type 3 inflammation in the asthmatic airways through the modulation of Ly6C+ MoMs, which enhance type 3 immunity.",
"42182319": "ID: 42182319\nTitle: Influenza-induced tuft cell expansion alters ILC-mediated inflammation.\nAbstract: Tuft cells act as sentinels that amplify type 2 inflammation primarily by activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 restrains tuft cell differentiation, whereas ILC2s drive tuft cell expansion, establishing a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited reduced eosinophilic inflammation and expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation, type 2 suppression and oxidative stress. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data identify a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that helps maintain a balanced inflammatory environment in response to viral injury and aeroallergens.",
"42183945": "ID: 42183945\nTitle: Metabolic Reprogramming and ILC2 Plasticity in Obesity-related Asthma.\nAbstract: Obesity-related asthma is a major clinical challenge defined by its unique pathology and resistance to corticosteroids. Here, we reframe this disease through the lens of tissue-specific \"maladaptive plasticity\" of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s). We propose a central dichotomy: in the obese lung, mechanical transduction synergizes with metabolic inflammation to induce a HIF-1\u03b1-mediated glycolytic shift in ILC2s. Conversely, in visceral adipose tissue (VAT), chronic metabolic stress drives ILC2 functional exhaustion, suppressing cytokine secretion. This pulmonary glycolytic shift fuels acetyl-CoA accumulation and subsequent epigenetic remodeling, which locks ILC2s into a pathogenic ILC1/ILC3-like phenotype, thereby driving the non-Th2 inflammation characteristic of obesity-related asthma. Furthermore, we describe how systemic metabolic stress propagates through the \"adipose-pulmonary\" and \"gut-pulmonary\" axes, which includes neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and glucocorticoid receptor isoform imbalances. Collectively, these pathological changes establish a refractory network of corticosteroid resistance, a primary factor contributing to treatment failure in obesity-related asthma. Based on these findings, we propose a novel therapeutic framework termed \"Metabolic Resuscitation\". This strategy shifts the focus from conventional immunosuppression to restoring cellular homeostasis by targeting key metabolic checkpoints and epigenetic drivers. This review provides a new mechanistic framework for understanding obesity-related asthma and offers a rationale for developing therapies to reverse treatment resistance.",

The airway epithelium serves as the primary interface with environmental stimuli and responds by releasing epithelial-derived alarmins, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), interleukin-33 (IL-33), and interleukin-25 (IL-25), which act as upstream regulators of both innate and adaptive immune responses. Current therapies targeting downstream inflammatory mediators demonstrate limited efficacy in severe and refractory asthma, necessitating novel approaches targeting upstream pathways. This narrative review examines the mechanistic roles of epithelial alarmins TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 in asthma pathogenesis, covering their regulation, receptor signalling, downstream immune activation, and contributions to airway remodelling. Current and emerging biologic therapies targeting these alarmins are summarised, with key clinical trials tabulated. A comprehensive narrative literature review was conducted. Electronic databases searched included PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science, and ClinicalTrials.gov, covering publications from January 2015 to March 2025, with seminal earlier studies included where relevant. Search terms used included: \"TSLP asthma,\" \"IL-33 asthma,\" \"IL-25 asthma,\" \"epithelial alarmins,\" \"thymic stromal lymphopoietin,\" \"tezepelumab,\" \"itepekimab,\" \"astegolimab,\" \"airway inflammation,\" \"ILC2,\" \"airway remodelling,\" and \"biologic therapy severe asthma.\" Priority was given to original research articles, randomised controlled trials, and systematic reviews; review articles were included to provide mechanistic context. Studies were selected based on relevance to alarmin biology, immunological pathways, and clinical evidence in asthma. TSLP: Functions as a central amplifier of type-2 and mixed inflammatory responses through transcriptional regulation following epithelial stimulation. Activates dendritic cells, group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and granulocytes via the TSLPR/IL-7R\u03b1 complex, driving both eosinophilic and non-eosinophilic inflammation. Tezepelumab, an anti-TSLP monoclonal antibody, has achieved regulatory approval (FDA/EMA) for severe asthma with demonstrated exacerbation reduction across multiple endotypes (40-60% reduction in clinical trials). IL-33: Constitutively stored in epithelial cell nuclei, acts as an immediate danger signal upon cellular injury, triggering rapid innate immune activation through the ST2/IL-1RAcP receptor complex. Mediates acute exacerbations, airway hyperresponsiveness, and steroid-refractory inflammation. Anti-IL-33 agents including itepekimab, astegolimab, and tozorakimab are in Phase 2-3 clinical development with promising early efficacy data. IL-25: Predominantly produced by epithelial tuft cells, sustains chronic type-2 immunity, mucus hypersecretion, and corticosteroid-insensitive disease phenotypes through IL-17RA/IL-17RB receptor engagement. IL-25-targeted approaches demonstrate preclinical efficacy and are advancing toward clinical evaluation. Epithelial alarmins represent critical upstream drivers of asthma pathogenesis, orchestrating diverse inflammatory pathways that determine disease endotypes and severity. Therapeutic targeting of TSLP, IL-33, and IL-25 offers a paradigm shift from downstream cytokine inhibition to source-directed intervention, with potential to reduce exacerbations, prevent airway remodelling, and improve disease control across different asthma phenotypes. The success of anti-TSLP therapy and ongoing clinical development of IL-33 and IL-25 inhibitors validate epithelial alarmins as essential molecular targets for precision medicine approaches in severe and refractory asthma.",

Dendritic cells, epithelial cells, neutrophils, macrophages, mucosal mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), and NK cells are the players in innate immunity, while regulatory T (Treg), TH1, TH2, TH17, T follicular helper, and B cells are components of the adaptative immune system. Th9 cells, a subset of T helper cells discovered in 2008 that produce interleukin-9 (IL-9), play a vital role in the adaptive immune response and have advantageous and harmful effects in different diseases due to the induction pattern. We queried international databases for current, up-to-date information regarding the interplay between interleukin 9 (IL-9) and helper T cells (especially Th9 cells), and by other immune cells. Interleukin-9 has multiple immunological functions, acting on various target cells through its specific receptor (IL-9R), such as the following: the regulation of allergic (Th2-type) immune responses; effects on epithelial and mucosal cells, mast cells, and eosinophils; chronic inflammation; and autoimmunity. Thus, there is a further need to translate laboratory findings into clinical practice regarding IL-9.",

Despite distinct clinical features, they share overlapping mechanisms including oxidative stress, epithelial injury, and immune dysregulation. Asthma is mainly driven by type 2 inflammation, with IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13 inducing eosinophilia, IgE production, mucus hypersecretion, and airway remodeling. Biologics targeting IgE, IL-5, and IL-4R\u03b1 have transformed treatment, and agents directed against TSLP and IL-33 further extend the range of targeted interventions. In contrast, COPD involves chronic inflammation with macrophages, neutrophils, and CD8+ T cells, persisting after smoking cessation. Advances include biologics such as dupilumab and benralizumab in eosinophilic COPD, and novel inhaled therapies such as ensifentrine, the first dual PDE3/4 inhibitor delivered via inhalation. IPF, on the other hand, arises from defective epithelial repair and fibroblast activation, causing progressive fibrosis. Approved antifibrotics (nintedanib, pirfenidone) slow lung function decline, while new strategies target TGF-\u03b2, CTGF, and fibroblast-directed pathways. Across these diseases, biomarkers and the treatable traits framework are reshaping precision care. Personalized approaches integrating biomarkers, omics, and targeted therapies represent the most promising path for improved outcomes.",

The molecular mechanisms underlying the modulation of mucociliogenesis following IL-4/13 blockade with dupilumab remain poorly understood, notwithstanding its proven clinical efficacy. Bulk RNA Barcoding and sequencing (BRB-seq) was performed on nasal polyp tissues collected from healthy controls (n = 6), patients with non-ECRS (n = 8), and patients with ECRS both before and four weeks after dupilumab treatment (n = 9) to identify the early molecular drivers underlying ciliary regeneration. Comprehensive gene-set scoring systems were developed to evaluate multiciliogenesis master regulators, master regulators of core/ciliary planar cell polarity (PCP) and PCP components. Interaction scores for epithelial-derived cytokines-thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-25, and IL-33-were calculated based on ligand and cognate receptor subunit expression. The ciliary master regulatory hierarchy (e.g., FOXJ1, RFX2/3), PCP components (CELSR1 and the ciliogenesis and planar polarity effector (CPLANE) module: FUZ, INTU, WDPCP), and structural ciliogenesis pathways were robustly restored following IL-4/13 blockade. The TSLP interaction score correlated with global mucosal damage, serving as a trigger for compensatory multiciliogenesis. The pre-treatment IL-33 interaction score emerged as a significant predictor of transcriptomic ciliary recovery (p < 0.05). DNASE1L3-the primary endonuclease for degrading eosinophilic extracellular traps (EETs)-remained persistently downregulated post-treatment. IL-4/13 blockade successfully restores the structural and directional \"hardware\" of the respiratory epithelium but fails to rectify the enzymatic \"software\" required for mucus degradation. This \"residual molecular scar\" may explain the persistent mucus hyperviscosity observed in some ECRS patients even after clinical polyp resolution.",

Our goal was to characterize respiratory epithelium in children with PIBO, which remains unexplored, using an ex vivo model culture. Proximal bronchial biopsies from children with PIBO and reconstituted bronchial epithelium from PIBO patients (n = 3) and controls (n = 17) were analyzed using an air-liquid interface culture model. Epithelial cell composition, barrier integrity, and mediator production, including mucins, inflammatory and antiviral responses, were assessed in this pathological and functional approach. Epithelial thickness was assessed in PIBO biopsies. Ex vivo reconstituted PIBO epithelia appeared to exhibit comparable cohesion and cell composition to controls. Mucin expression and secretion were likewise similar between groups. PIBO epithelial might have displayed reduced IL-33 transcript levels and decreased TSLP secretion, whereas IFN-\u03bb1, IFN-\u03bb2-3 and IFN-\u03b2 secretion could have been elevated. No differences were detected in remodeling markers (MMP-9 and YKL-40). In summary, ex vivo model of PIBO epithelia suggested that the epithelium may preserve structural characteristics and mucin production, without evidence of remodeling. However, PIBO epithelial cells may have a distinct immune profile, with lower alarmin expression and higher interferon secretion. This could indicate a tendency toward enhanced antiviral response rather than structural changes. These preliminary results need to be confirmed in larger cohorts.",

Reducing exposure to allergens can help prevent the progression of asthma. Given the significant regional variations in allergen distribution patterns, our objective was to characterize the sensitization patterns of common childhood aeroallergens in a large, hospital-based pediatric cohort from West China through epidemiological surveys, thereby providing region-specific key data to guide the development of targeted prevention strategies and clinical management protocols. Methods: We analyzed data from 30,565 multiple allergosorbent tests collected by our hospital from 2024 to 2025. We additionally collected sex and age. If the level of an aeroallergen was 0.35 IU/mL or more, the test result for that aeroallergen was defined as positive, and positive cases were defined as those where one aeroallergen was positive. The positive rates for aeroallergens were calculated using the total number of tested children in each category (such as season, gender or age group). Results: A total of 30,565 children in West China were surveyed, with an overall allergen sIgE positive rate of 37.7%. Autumn had the highest positive rate (41.2%), which was significantly higher than those of the other seasons (p < 0.01). Indoor allergens had higher positive rates than outdoor ones. The top indoor allergens were Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (30.18%), Dermatophagoides farinae (27.13%), and house dust (22.99%); the top outdoor allergens were Cupressus (10.22%), Betula platyphylla (5.01%), and Sycamore (4.24%). The positive rate increased with age: 18.49% in infants and toddlers, 38.58% in preschool children, and 45.96% in school-aged children (all p < 0.01). Males (39.76%) had a higher total positive rate than females (34.90%) (p < 0.01), with significant gender differences in five allergens, including Dermatophagoides farinae, Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, house dust, Alternaria, and Sycamore. Conclusions: This study provides detailed epidemiological data on aeroallergen sensitization patterns among children, including seasonal, age-related, and sex-related differences. These findings may help inform region-specific preventive strategies and guide future research on allergen avoidance.",

Epithelial-derived alarmins, particularly interleukin-33 (IL-33) and its receptor ST2, play key roles in type 2 inflammation. The soluble form of ST2 (sST2) acts as a decoy receptor regulating IL-33 signaling. Vitamin D is an important immunomodulator influencing airway inflammation, but its interaction with the IL-33/ST2 pathway remains unclear. Objective: To evaluate the association between serum IL-33, sST2, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels with asthma severity and exacerbation status, and to assess their potential as clinical biomarkers. Methods: This study enrolled 52 adult asthma patients (27 experiencing exacerbation and 25 in remission) and 28 healthy controls. Serum levels of IL-33 and sST2 were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, while 25(OH)D concentrations were determined via electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. Results: Serum sST2 levels were significantly higher and 25(OH)D levels significantly lower in asthma patients compared with controls (p < 0.000 for both). Serum IL-33 levels did not differ significantly between groups (p > 0.05). During exacerbation, sST2 levels were markedly elevated compared with remission (p < 0.001), whereas vitamin D levels were significantly reduced (p = 0.038). A significant negative correlation was identified between sST2 and 25(OH)D (r = -0.333, p = 0.016). Conclusions: The presence of asthma and the severity of exacerbations are associated with elevated circulating sST2 levels and reduced vitamin D levels. These findings suggest a regulatory interaction between vitamin D and the IL-33/ST2 axis in airway inflammation and indicate that targeting this axis could be a potential therapeutic strategy.",

Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are central mediators of airway hyperreactivity. We identify melatonin as a previously unrecognized regulator of ILC2 metabolism and function. In murine models of allergic airway inflammation, melatonin reduced eosinophilia, type 2 cytokine production, and airway hyperreactivity without altering ILC2 abundance. Mechanistically, melatonin acted independently of canonical melatonin receptors and instead reprogrammed ILC2 metabolism toward pentose phosphate pathway activity, enhancing NADPH generation and NRF2-dependent glutathione accumulation. Metabolic profiling, loss-of-function approaches, and pharmacologic activation studies demonstrated that NRF2 is both necessary and sufficient to restrain ILC2 effector function. Importantly, primary human ILC2s exhibited conserved NRF2 activation, glutathione accumulation, and reduced type 2 cytokine production in response to melatonin, underscoring clinical relevance. Together, these findings identify the melatonin-NRF2-glutathione axis as a metabolic checkpoint regulating innate type 2 immunity and suggest that therapeutic targeting of redox metabolism may represent a strategy for modulating airway inflammation in allergic asthma.",

Conventional biomarkers, including blood eosinophil counts and fractional exhaled nitric oxide, only partially capture response heterogeneity. We evaluated the cytokine secretion profiles of group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) and TH2 cells and examined their associations with clinical outcomes after benralizumab therapy. We analyzed 70 patients with severe type 2-high asthma enrolled onto the multicenter Tokyo Asthma Study. Cytokine secretion by ILC2s and TH2 cells was evaluated by live cell imaging of secretion activity, which enables real-time visualization of cytokine secretion from individual lymphocytes. The frequencies of IL-4-, IL-5-, and IL-13-producing cells were quantified at baseline and after 24 weeks of benralizumab treatment. Clinical responses were primarily assessed by the Asthma Control Questionnaire 5, and patients were classified as experiencing response or not. Japan Registry of Clinical Trials (jRCTs031190237). In type 2-high asthma, ILC2s and TH2 cells exhibited distinct cytokine secretion profiles with no significant correlation between the two cell populations. Benralizumab selectively suppressed IL-5- and IL-13-producing ILC2s but had little effect on TH2 cells. Patients with higher baseline frequencies of IL-4-producing TH2 cells showed limited clinical improvement after benralizumab therapy. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, baseline IL-4-producing TH2 cell frequency was associated with Asthma Control Questionnaire-defined nonresponse after adjustment for blood eosinophil counts and fractional exhaled nitric oxide. Single-cell functional lymphocyte profiling identifies distinct innate and adaptive type 2 responses to benralizumab and provides complementary information associated with response heterogeneity in severe asthma.",

Exposure of the lungs to different environmental triggers, such as allergens, pollen, and environmental toxicants, exaggerates the immune reaction, narrowing the airways and resulting in episodes of reversible bronchoconstriction. The interaction of resident immune cells, structural cells, and altered extracellular matrix proteins creates persistent inflammatory condition in lung, resulting in airways inflammation, hyperresponsiveness, and remodelling. The imbalance between pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory response from granulocytes, monocytes, and lymphocytes, along with an imbalanced ratio of matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors (TIMPs), this results in continual airway inflammation and airway remodeling. The emerging protective role of a specific group of tissue-resident eosinophils (rEos), long-lived tissue-resident memory CD4\u207a T cells (TRM) and B cells (BRM), resident macrophages, endothelial cell (ECs), and innate lymphoid cells (ILC2) in amelioration of asthma is disclosing the novel approach for attenuation of asthma pathogenesis. This new understanding emphasizes the elasticity, tenacity, and communication of myeloid and lymphoid cells in the lung microenvironment, opening the door to new therapeutic possibilities, particularly for severe and chronic asthma. This review combines recent findings that refine our understanding of how immune cells contribute to asthma development and progression. It highlights the important roles of innate immune cells and tissue-resident memory lymphocytes, their interactions with resident cells, and also identifies new treatment approaches that could attenuate asthma progression.",

The associations of indoor allergen exposure and peripheral blood eosinophil counts with this syndrome remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the associations of common indoor allergen concentrations and peripheral blood eosinophil counts with the prevalence and clinical course of CRPR. In this study, CRPR is used solely as a historical, symptom-based operational construct derived from the NHANES 2005-2006 questionnaire, rather than as a contemporary stand-alone clinical diagnosis. We utilized data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2005-2006. CRPR was defined as a positive response to the questionnaire item \"have you ever had an itchy rash which was coming and going for at least 6 months?\". Extracted variables included basic demographic information, concentrations of various indoor allergens, and peripheral blood eosinophil counts. Multivariable logistic regression models were used to analyze the associations between these variables and the prevalence and severity of CRPR. A total of 6,068 participants were included, of whom 877 (14.4%) met the CRPR criteria. Multivariable regression analysis, adjusted for demographic factors, revealed that higher concentrations of German cockroach allergen (Bla g 1) (OR=1.32, 95% CI: 1.15-1.52, P<0.001) and elevated peripheral blood eosinophil counts (OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.42-1.76, P<0.001) were independently associated with higher odds of CRPR. Among individuals with CRPR, 81.0% (710/877) had experienced an episode in the past year. In this group, higher concentrations of Alternaria allergen (Alt a 1) were associated with a lower risk of exacerbations, whereas higher concentrations of rat allergen (Rat n 1) were associated with an increased risk. Furthermore, moderate indoor concentrations of mouse allergen (Mus m 1) were associated with a higher likelihood of rash resolution among these individuals. In this large U.S. cohort, CRPR was associated with peripheral eosinophilia and German cockroach allergen exposure. These findings suggest that peripheral eosinophilia may represent a relevant inflammatory correlate in a subset of individuals with CRPR, while the observed associations should be interpreted considering the syndrome's diagnostic heterogeneity.",
"42219146": "ID: 42219146\nTitle: Monoclonal antibodies targeting inflammatory pathways in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: Evidence and opportunities.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and heterogeneous inflammatory lung disease associated with exacerbations that drive morbidity, mortality, and health care utilization worldwide. Although inhaled therapies remain the cornerstone of treatment, many patients continue to experience exacerbations despite optimized therapy, highlighting the need for new targeted approaches. Advances in understanding COPD immunopathology have identified several inflammatory pathways that may be amenable to monoclonal antibody therapies. Traditionally, COPD has been associated with neutrophilic inflammation linked to type-1 and type-3 immune responses. However, clinical trials targeting these pathways, including tumor necrosis factor, interleukin (IL)-1\u03b2, and IL-17, have largely failed to demonstrate clinical benefit. In contrast, increasing evidence supports a role for type-2 inflammation and upstream pathways in a subset of patients with COPD, including individuals without a history of asthma. Biomarkers such as blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide can help identify this endotype and guide therapeutic selection. Randomized trials of monoclonal antibodies suppressing inflammatory pathways have demonstrated reductions in exacerbations among carefully selected patients with eosinophilic COPD, leading to the recent recommendation of dupilumab and mepolizumab in international treatment guidelines. Emerging strategies are exploring upstream epithelial mediators, including alarmins such as IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, and bispecific therapies that suppress multiple inflammatory pathways. A consistent finding is that patients with moderate (nonsevere) COPD and concomitantly elevated blood eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide derive greater benefit from monoclonal antibodies. These developments suggest that targeted monoclonal antibody therapy may play an expanding role in COPD management, supporting the concept of earlier intervention in high-risk COPD.",

Alternative splicing generates three functionally distinct isoforms: full-length ISO1 maintains mitochondrial homeostasis by degrading oxidized proteins and stabilizing mitochondrial transcription factor A (TFAM) for mtDNA integrity; truncated ISO2 (\u039442-105 AA) drives glycolytic reprogramming and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by upregulating Snail/vimentin; and cytoplasmic ISO3 (\u03941-196 AA) lacks protease activity and is tumor-irrelevant. Tumor microenvironment (TME) cues (hypoxia, H. pylori infection, PFOA exposure, glutamine depletion) regulate LonP1 via Akt phosphorylation/Sirt3 deacetylation, coordinating MQC and metabolic adaptation to support cancer cell survival and metastasis. Functional data confirm its pro-tumor role: LonP1 upregulation enhances cervical cancer mitophagy and gastric cancer glycolysis, while knockdown induces mitochondrial dysfunction and apoptosis. This review summarizes current advances by (1) systematically integrating the isoform-specific functions of LonP1; (2) constructing a \"LonP1-MQC-metabolism\" regulatory network based on published evidence; and (3) proposing isoform-specific targeted strategies for precision oncology. These insights position LonP1 as a promising candidate for precision oncology, offering a cohesive understanding of mitochondrial regulation in cancer.",

There is currently a lack of bibliometric research on allergic diseases and B cells. Records were retrieved from the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) and PubMed. After applying language, time, and article-type restrictions, 3, 084 WoSCC articles and 71 PubMed-indexed clinical trials were included. CiteSpace (v6.4.R1), VOSviewer (v1.6.20), and Excel were used to analyze publication and citation trends, journals, countries, institutions, authors, keyword co-occurrence, and burst terms, and to visualize co-authorship and thematic networks. Annual publications and citations increased steadily, indicating sustained academic interest. Output was concentrated in leading allergy and immunology journals and in institutions from Europe and the United States, although contributions from other regions have increased over time. Keyword clustering identified stable cores around 'food allergy, ' 'asthma, ' and 'plasma cells, ' while burst and overlay analyses highlighted 'regulatory B cells' and 'innate lymphoid cells' as emerging research hotspots. These bibliometric patterns indicate growing attention to tissue-associated B-cell biology, immune regulation, and allergen immunotherapy. PubMed clinical-trial records further suggest increasing translational interest in B-cell-related interventions for allergic diseases. Over the past 20 years, research on allergic diseases and B cells has evolved from descriptive immunoglobulin E (IgE) associations toward a tissue- and systems-level exploration of B-cell biology. This bibliometric analysis delineates research hotspots and translational themes, Future progress will require large, multicenter studies with standardized B-cell phenotyping and functional endpoints to support precision medicine in allergy.",

Nasal cytology has emerged as a potential non-invasive tool to assess airway inflammation in asthma. However, its relationship with lower airway inflammation and systemic biomarkers remains unclear, particularly in severe asthma (SA). To evaluate whether a multi-compartment approach could improve the characterisation of type 2 inflammation and the relationship between nasal cytology, induced sputum, and systemic inflammatory biomarkers in patients with severe asthma. In this cross-sectional exploratory BRISA study, twenty-two patients with SA underwent nasal cytology by mucosal scraping, induced sputum analysis, and serum biomarker assessment (periostin, eosinophil cationic protein, thymic stromal lymphopoietin, dipeptidyl peptidase-4, and total IgE). Patients were stratified according to blood eosinophil count (BEC <300 vs \u2265300 cells/\u00b5L). Correlations between compartments and associations with clinical and inflammatory variables were analysed. Higher blood eosinophil counts were associated with worse lung function, increased exacerbations, and higher serum periostin levels. Valid induced sputum samples were obtained in 16 patients: 7 eosinophilic, 3 neutrophilic, 2 mixed eosinophilic-neutrophilic and 4 paucigranulocytic. Nasal cytology predominantly showed limited agreement with induced sputum inflammatory phenotypes. Serum TSLP, DPP4, and IgE also showed an upward trend in patients with higher blood eosinophil counts, although these differences were not statistically significant. Correlation analysis demonstrated a significant positive association between sputum and blood eosinophils, as well as between blood eosinophils and serum periostin. A strong positive correlation was also observed between serum eotaxin and TSLP. Nasal cytology alone cannot replace induced sputum for inflammatory phenotyping in SA, although it may provide complementary information on upper airway inflammation. Among the evaluated systemic biomarkers, periostin emerged as the most consistent marker associated with blood eosinophilia, while other biomarkers showed only non-significant trends. Further studies are needed to validate the role of combined biomarkers in predicting airway inflammation.",

It is immunologically heterogeneous disease, classified as Type 2 (Th2/ILC2-mediated, eosinophilic) or Type 1 (Th1-mediated, neutrophilic, steroid-resistant) inflammation. This review aims to evaluates current biologic therapies, emerging strategies, and challenges in asthma management and highlights the challenges and future directions in personalized asthma management. Current biologics for Type 2 asthma like anti-IgE (omalizumab), anti-IL-5 (mepolizumab, reslizumab, benralizumab), anti-IL-4/IL-13 (dupilumab) and anti-TSLP (tezepelumab) were effectively controlling severe eosinophilic asthma. Emerging therapies for Type 1 and mixed phenotypes include anti-TNF-\u03b1 agents, CXCR2 antagonists, IL-17 blockers, JAK-STAT inhibitors and microbiome-based approaches and upstream epithelial cytokine-targeting therapies such as anti-TSLP agents. Dual or broad-spectrum strategies, such as bispecific antibodies and endotype-guided biologic selection offer more targeted interventions. Despite these advances, challenges persist regarding high costs, limited accessibility, absence of robust biomarkers, and potential risks of immunosuppression. Biologics have transformed severe Type 2 asthma management, but effective treatments for Type 1 and steroid-resistant asthma remain limited. Future directions involve multi-omics, machine learning and gene therapy to optimize personalized therapy and develop inclusive strategies for the diverse inflammatory endotypes.",

Type-2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are significant for generating IL-5 and IL-13 cytokines, highlighting their vital role in triggering and escalating the progression of asthma. Myeloid differentiation primary response protein 88 (MyD88) controls innate and adaptive immune responses by orchestrating inflammatory signals. This work focused on investigating the influence of MyD88 in governing ILC2s-driven allergic airway disease alongside its underlying molecular mechanisms. We evaluated the effects of MyD88 in IL-33-induced or allergen-induced airway hyperreactivity (AHR) and airway inflammation. The role and mechanism of MyD88 in regulating ILC2s function were examined in vivo and in vitro by using transcriptome sequencing analysis, flow cytometry, clinical samples, ILC2-specific MyD88 knockout mice, and anti-Thy1.2 antibody against ILC2s in mice. The results showed heightened MyD88 expression in ILC2s sourced from allergic asthmatic patients and asthmatic mice. MyD88 knockout in ILC2s was able to mitigate IL-33-induced airway inflammation, while the MyD88 inhibitor LM8 proves efficacious in attenuating allergen-induced airway inflammation and AHR. After elimination of ILC2s via anti-Thy1.2 antibody, the pharmacological activity of LM8 diminished. Mechanistic studies revealed that MyD88 mediates the activation and proliferation of ILC2s through facilitation of P38-GATA3 complex formation. The research highlights MyD88 as a critical regulator of ILC2s activation, suggesting its potential utility as a therapeutic target for interventions in allergic asthma.",

We evaluated the effect of 17,18-EpETE and its metabolite, 17,18-dihydroxy-eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid (17,18-diHETE), on IL-33-induced airway inflammation involving ILC2s. We evaluated the in vitro effects of 17,18-EpETE and 17,18-diHETE on the IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 by human ILC2s (isolated from peripheral blood) using ELISA. Expression of the corresponding fatty acid receptors and the GATA-3 transcription factor were examined using flow cytometry and quantitative RT-PCR. Additionally, we examined the in vivo effects of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE in a mouse model of type 2 airway inflammation induced by intranasal (i.n.) instillation of IL-33. 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE inhibited IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13, and IL-33-induced expression of GATA-3 in human ILC2s. GW1100, an antagonist of G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 40, or GW9662, an antagonist of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor \u03b3 (PPAR\u03b3), counteracted the inhibitory effects of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE on the IL-33-induced production of IL-5 and IL-13 by ILC2s. I.n. administration of 17,18-EpETE or 17,18-diHETE attenuated IL-33-induced eosinophil infiltration and mucus production in mouse nasal mucosa, and production of IL-5 and IL-13 in lung tissue and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The present study demonstrated the anti-inflammatory effects of 17,18-EpETE and 17,18-diHETE on IL-33-induced airway inflammation involving ILC2s. I.n. administration of 17,18-EpETE may be a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of intractable type 2 airway inflammation.",

Although fungi are rich sources of structurally diverse bioactive metabolites, the antidiabetic potential of the genus Alternaria remains poorly explored. Here, we investigated 278 Alternaria-derived metabolites as potential inhibitors of dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4), a clinically validated target involved in glucose homeostasis through incretin regulation. An integrated computational pipeline combining ADMET profiling, molecular docking, 300 ns molecular dynamics simulations, MM-PBSA binding free-energy calculations, principal component analysis (PCA) and free energy landscape (FEL) mapping, clustering, and network pharmacology was employed to identify and characterize lead compounds. Among the screened metabolites, Anthrininone B (AntB) emerged as the most promising candidate, showing binding behaviour comparable to, and slightly more favourable than, the reference inhibitor Linagliptin (Lin). AntB exhibited the most favourable mean MM-PBSA binding free energy (-\u200926.77\u2009\u00b1\u20098.20\u00a0kcal/mol), stable conformational convergence, a compact free-energy landscape, and representative clustered conformations consistent with persistent binding. Mechanistically, AntB transitioned from the S2 extensive tunnel into a deeply seated catalytic pose, forming stable interactions with Glu206, Tyr662/Tyr666, and Ser630, while maintaining overall protein stability. Network pharmacology further suggested that AntB may modulate multiple T2D-relevant pathways, including insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative stress, and \u03b2-cell preservation. Collectively, these findings identify Alternaria metabolites, particularly AntB, as promising scaffolds for antidiabetic drug discovery and warrant further experimental validation.",

This study found that among 17 cytokines screened, only IL-33 could induce DCs to display a Th9-type cytokine profile, including IL-9, IL-4, and IL-13, in vitro. The response of DCs to IL-33 was synergistically enhanced by TGF-\u03b2 and IL-4, defining a distinct subset termed DC9. Transcriptomic analysis revealed that DC9 possesses a unique gene expression signature, particularly in cytokine/chemokine clusters, compared to conventional DCs. Mechanistically, DC9 polarization depends on the JAK-STAT6-IRF4 signaling pathway. Functionally, DC9 preferentially drives naive CD4+ T cell differentiation toward Th9 cells in vitro. In an ovalbumin-induced allergic airway inflammatory mouse model, DC9 cells were detectable in lungs and adoptive transfer of DC9 exacerbated disease severity, and increased pulmonary Th9 cells. Collectively, we identify DC9 as a novel DC subset induced by IL-33/TGF-\u03b2/IL-4 through the JAK-STAT6-IRF4 axis, which promotes Th9 differentiation and aggravates allergic airway inflammation.",
"42253476": "ID: 42253476\nTitle: Airway epithelial dysfunction in asthma pathogenesis: epigenetic mechanisms, inflammatory crosstalk, and therapeutic opportunities.\nAbstract: Asthma affects over 260 million people worldwide and remains incompletely explained by the traditional T cell-centric immunological model, which offers incomplete mechanistic explanations for disease chronicity, recurrence during clinical remission, and the poor treatment response observed in T2-low phenotypes. Emerging evidence positions the airway epithelium as a central organizer of asthma pathogenesis rather than a passive barrier. This review proposes a unifying framework in which airway epithelial dysfunction and epigenetic memory drive the persistent and relapse-prone nature of asthmatic airways. We first examine how structural barrier defects-including tight junction dysfunction mediated by claudin-18 and E-cadherin loss-initiate and amplify type 2 inflammation through alarmin release (TSLP, IL-33, IL-25) and ILC2 activation. We then review how environmental exposures and inflammatory signals, particularly IL-13, induce durable epigenetic reprogramming of airway epithelial cells through DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, establishing molecular imprints that persist beyond the resolution of acute inflammation. Special attention is given to basal progenitor cells as repositories of allergic epigenetic memory, and to the concept of trained innate immunity as a mechanism underlying chronic airway hyperresponsiveness. We further contrast the epigenetic landscapes of T2-high and T2-low asthma, identifying the latter as a critical unmet need for biomarker and therapeutic development. Finally, we discuss translational opportunities, including HDAC inhibitors, miRNA-based therapies, and the potential of anti-alarmin biologics (tezepelumab, itepekimab) and downstream cytokine receptor antagonists (dupilumab) to partially restore epithelial function and progenitor states. We acknowledge that, given current data availability, this review is weighted toward T2-high (eosinophilic) endotypes; mechanistic characterization of T2-low asthma remains an important area for future investigation. This framework reconceptualizes asthma not only as a disorder of dysregulated immunity, but as a disease of maladaptively reprogrammed barrier tissue, with important implications for disease prevention, endotype-specific treatment, and the goal of achieving true biological remission.",
"42256021": "ID: 42256021\nTitle: Subcutaneous immunotherapy-induced IgG1 suppresses allergic airway inflammation through Fc\u03b3RIIb-mediated inhibition of group 2 innate lymphoid cell proliferation.\nAbstract: Subcutaneous immunotherapy (SCIT), a form of allergy immunotherapy, can alter the natural course of allergic diseases and induce tolerance to causative allergens by modulating type 2 immune responses. While the regulatory effects of SCIT on Th2 cells have been extensively studied, its effects on group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) remain poorly understood. In a murine model of asthma, we demonstrated that SCIT increased the production of allergen-specific IgG1, which is analogous to human IgG4. To clarify the role of IgG1 in the mechanisms underlying SCIT, we evaluated its effects on the development of allergic asthma and the proliferation of ILC2s. BALB/c mice were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA) and Al(OH)3, followed by SCIT consisting of 3 subcutaneous OVA injections at a dose of 1 mg/animal. After SCIT, sera were collected, and total IgG1 was purified using the pH-gradient elution method. ILC2s were isolated from the lungs of OVA-challenged mice and stimulated with IL-33 in the presence of OVA and the purified IgG1 for 72 h, after which cell proliferation was assessed using an ATP assay. For in vivo experiments, the purified IgG1 was intratracheally administered to OVA-challenged asthmatic mice, and airway remodeling and lung leukocyte populations were subsequently analyzed. Animal experiments were approved by the Experimental Animal Research Committee of Setsunan University (approval Nos. K21-1, K22-1, K23-1, K24-1, and K25-1) and conducted in accordance with the ARRIVE 2.0 guidelines. (1) IgG1+ B cells were markedly increased in the lungs of SCIT-treated asthmatic mice (p = 0.0409) and were the most abundant among the 4 IgG+ B-cell subsets. (2) Intratracheal administration of IgG1 derived from SCIT mice (SCIT-IgG1) significantly suppressed epithelial thickening and mucus accumulation, and reduced the numbers of lung ILC2s and eosinophils in the asthma model (p = 0.0034, 0.0341, 0.0246, and 0.0041, respectively). (3) Fc\u03b3RIIb expression on lung ILC2s derived from asthmatic mice was significantly increased (p = 0.0004). (4) SCIT-IgG1 significantly suppressed OVA and IL-33-induced in vitro proliferation of ILC2s (p = 0.0018), and this inhibitory effect disappeared in the presence of an anti-Fc\u03b3RIIb antibody. SCIT-IgG1 attenuates airway remodeling and limits ILC2 expansion in allergic airway inflammation. Mechanistically, SCIT-IgG1 restrains ILC2 proliferation via Fc\u03b3RIIb engagement, revealing an antibody-ILC2 inhibitory axis that likely contributes to the efficacy of allergy immunotherapy and suggests therapeutic strategies that enhance inhibitory Fc\u03b3R signaling to control type 2 inflammation.",

Among these, Club cells (CCs) are specialized airway epithelial cells that play key roles in maintaining airway integrity and immune homeostasis. They contribute to epithelial repair, barrier maintenance, innate defense, circadian control, and xenobiotic metabolism. Accumulating evidence also indicates that CCs exhibit substantial functional heterogeneity and may act as both protectors of bronchiolar integrity and context-dependent drivers of airway inflammation and remodeling. However, the roles of CCs in asthma remain incompletely understood, as current evidence is fragmented across different subfields of respiratory research. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the multifaceted roles of CCs by highlighting their critical regenerative and immune-regulatory functions pertaining to the pathobiology of asthma. We further discuss how loss of protective mediators such as SCGB1A1, dysregulated club-to-goblet cell differentiation, the release of alarmins, and damage-associated molecular patterns may link CCs dysfunction to inflammatory endotypes, mucus hypersecretion and airway remodeling. Finally, emerging CC-targeted therapeutic strategies are also summarized, highlighting their potential to move beyond symptom management toward precision interventions that restore bronchiolar homeostasis.",

This study aims to investigate the mechanism by which macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles regulate ILC2 cells during the pathogenesis of allergic asthma, thereby providing novel evidence and directions for the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of this condition. An ovalbumin-induced allergic asthma mouse model was established. Macrophage-derived exosomes were isolated from bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) via ultracentrifugation, followed by miRNA sequencing analysis. Using Deseq2 software and RT-qPCR to screen and validate key miRNAs and their enriched pathways; In vivo experiments were conducted by tail vein injection of miRNA-146b-5p mimics into asthmatic mice. Subsequent assessments included Haematoxylin Eosin (H&E) staining, Masson's trichrome staining, TUNEL fluorescence, pulmonary function testing, RT-qPCR, Western blot analysis, and ELISA. These evaluated the effects of miRNA-146b-5p mimics on pulmonary inflammation, lung function, ILC2 cell proliferation, and the inflammatory cytokines produced (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13) and the TRAF-6/NF-\u03baB pathway; In vitro experiments: Co-culturing macrophage exosomes and miRNA-146b-5p mimics with ILC2 cells, followed by ELISA detection of ILC2-associated inflammatory cytokines and Western blot analysis of relevant inflammatory pathways. Compared with normal mice, 99 miRNAs were upregulated and 92 miRNAs were downregulated in macrophage exosomes from the alveolar lavage fluid of allergic asthma mice. Differentially expressed miRNAs were significantly enriched in pathways such as NF-\u03baB. By intersecting the top 50 differentially expressed miRNAs with those targeting candidate pathways, yielding three candidate miRNAs: mmu-miR-181b-5p, mmu-miR-146b-5p, and mmu-miR-222-3p. Sequencing and RT-qPCR validation revealed that miR-146b-5p was significantly downregulated in the model group, with upregulation of TRAF-6 gene expression and NF-\u03baB pathway activity. Intravenous tail vein injection of miRNA-146b-5p mimics into model group mice alleviated pulmonary inflammatory infiltration, improved lung function, and reduced levels of ILC2-associated inflammatory cytokines (IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IL-25, IL-33, TSLP); Co-culture of macrophage exosomes with ILC2 cells demonstrated that exosomes from asthma mice promoted ILC2 cell proliferation. Co-incubation with miRNA-146b-5p mimics inhibited ILC2 cell proliferation and reduced NF-\u03baB pathway expression. Alveolar macrophage-derived extracellular vesicles containing miR-146b-5p promote ILC2 cell activation and inflammatory cytokine release by targeting the TRAF6/NF-\u03baB signaling pathway, thereby exacerbating the pathological progression of allergic asthma. Exogenous supplementation with miR-146b-5p mimics effectively suppresses activation of the TRAF6/NF-\u03baB pathway, thereby alleviating ILC2-mediated inflammatory responses. This provides novel potential targets and theoretical rationale for the prevention and treatment of allergic asthma.",

Arginase 2 (Arg2) and the NF-\u0138B pathway are both involved in the inflammatory response, but the mechanism by which they jointly regulate the function of ILC2s remains unclear. In this study, an OVA-induced mouse asthma model was used, combined with in vivo and in vitro experiments, flow cytometry and targeted metabolomics to explore the roles of both and their mutual regulatory relationship. In OVA-induced asthmatic mice, airway inflammation was aggravated and the proportion of lung ILC2s increased, while Arg2 expression was upregulated and the NF-\u0138B pathway was activated. In the in vivo experiments, the Arg2 inhibitor nor-NOHA or the NF-\u0138B inhibitor DHMEQ could alleviate inflammation, and the combined treatment was more effective. Experiments in vitro have shown that NF-\u0138B may promote the expression of Arg2, and inhibiting the expression of Arg2 can partially reduce the activation of the NF-\u0138B pathway; combined inhibition can reduce the secretion of pro-inflammatory factors by ILC2s. Additionally, TNF-\u03b1 could weaken the inhibitory effect of nor-NOHA on Arg2. In summary, NF-\u0138B may regulate the expression of Arg2 in ILC2s, and Arg2 may feedback-regulate the NF-\u0138B-mediated inflammation through arginine metabolism. The two synergistically affect the activation of ILC2s and the type 2 inflammation of asthma. Targeting both simultaneously can alleviate airway inflammation and provide a potential new idea for asthma treatment.",

After recognizing their cognate antigen in the acute phase of the disease, the homing of T cells from the circulation into the skin via cutaneous lymphocyte antigen (CLA) is the prerequisite to skin inflammation and subsequent systemic and local, tissue resident, memory (TRM) formation. Initial observations suggest that antigen presentation occurs in structures such as induced skin-associated lymphoid tissue (iSALT), in addition to lymphatic organs. Aside from environmental antigens, such as aeroallergens, other antigen sources also appear to play a role: humoral and cellular responses to microbial antigens and autoantigens are discussed to drive and shape skin inflammation in AD. In-depth characterization of differentiated, activated Th2 cells in AD shows their ability to recognize different signals from epithelial cells directly. The heterogeneity of patients with antigen sensitizations and T-cell phenotypes is believed to influence therapeutic success. This suggests that a more precise characterization of patient subgroups would enable targeted, individualized therapy.",

A parallel cohort received weekly dexamethasone administration (2 mg/kg). Endpoints included flow cytometry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, quantitative PCR, histology, and immunofluorescence assays.ResultsFour-week allergen exposure produced a pure ECRS phenotype characterized by robust tissue eosinophilia, type-2 cytokines, and marked responsiveness to dexamethasone. Extending allergen delivery to 12 weeks generated mixed CRS with superimposed neutrophilia, upregulation of Il1b/Tgfb1, mucus hypersecretion, and attenuated steroid efficacy. Innate stimulus treatment yielded a steroid-resistant NCRS phenotype dominated by neutrophils, elevated Ifng/Il17a expression, and minimal type-2 biomarkers. Systemic eotaxin and HDM-specific immunoglobulin E mirrored those found in local eosinophilia, whereas circulating granulocytes remained unchanged across groups.ConclusionsBy adjusting the stimulus type and duration, we established tunable murine models that recapitulate pure ECRS, mixed CRS, and steroid-resistant NCRS within a single genetic background. These paired models provide a versatile platform for dissecting endotype-specific mechanisms and evaluating tailored interventions, highlighting the potential importance of early, phenotype-directed CRS therapy.",

This systematic review aimed to critically evaluate the current evidence on nasal epithelial organoid models, focusing on donor characteristics, culture methodologies, differentiation strategies, and translational applications. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library was conducted for studies published between 1990 and April 2026. The review followed PRISMA guidelines and was structured according to the PICOTS framework. Eligible studies included in vitro experimental investigations using human-derived nasal epithelial organoids in infectious, inflammatory, or precision medicine contexts. Risk of bias was assessed using the QUIN tool. Results: Seventeen studies met the inclusion criteria. Applications clustered into three principal domains: infectious disease modeling, inflammatory and epithelial remodeling research, and cystic fibrosis precision medicine. Most studies employed expandable three-dimensional Matrigel-embedded organoids or organoid-derived air-liquid interface systems. Infection-focused studies demonstrated variant-specific viral replication dynamics and epithelial immune responses, while inflammatory models reproduced disease-associated differentiation and remodeling phenotypes. Cystic fibrosis oriented studies showed that organoid swelling and electrophysiological assays correlate with CFTR functional rescue and, in selected cases, clinical response. Methodological heterogeneity across protocols and outcome reporting precluded quantitative synthesis. Conclusions: Human nasal epithelial organoids represent versatile translational platforms bridging accessible patient-derived tissue and advanced airway disease modeling. Although variability in culture protocols and functional benchmarks limits standardization, these models hold significant promise for mechanistic investigation, therapeutic stratification, and precision medicine applications.",

This review summarizes emerging evidence linking circadian regulation of innate immune cells to allergic inflammation and highlights the translational potential of circadian-informed therapeutic strategies. Core clock components are rhythmically expressed in macrophages, mast cells, neutrophils and innate lymphoid cells, where they regulate inflammatory signalling, immunometabolism and activation thresholds. Disruption of these rhythms exaggerates cytokine production, inflammasome activation and mast cell mediator release, contributing to diurnal patterns of allergic disease such as nocturnal asthma. Human and experimental studies demonstrate that circadian misalignment driven by shift work, irregular sleep and mistimed feeding amplifies innate inflammation and worsens allergic outcomes. Circadian regulation represents an underappreciated dimension of innate immunity in allergic disease. Aligning immunomodulatory therapies, vaccination, and lifestyle interventions with endogenous immune rhythms offers a rational approach to improving efficacy and reducing inflammatory burden. Future studies should prioritize time-stratified clinical trials and direct circadian phenotyping in allergic populations.",

To investigate whether MXSG mitigates asthma by restraining group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) via a gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolic pathway, and to identify microbiota-dependent active compounds. An asthma mouse model was used. ILC2 in the lung and intestinal lamina propria were assessed by flow cytometry. Rag1\u207b/\u207b mice were used to assess T and B cell-independent effects. Untargeted fecal metabolomics and antibiotic-mediated microbiota depletion were conducted to evaluate metabolic and microbial contributions. Microbiota-dependent MXSG constituents were traced using anaerobic fecal fermentation coupled with LC-MS/MS profiling, followed by in vivo validation. MXSG significantly alleviated pulmonary inflammation, reduced bronchoalveolar lavage eosinophils and improved histopathology. It decreased ILC2s populations in lung and gut. These effects were preserved in Rag1\u207b/\u207b mice but abolished with antibiotics pretreatment, indicating microbiota dependence. Metabolomics revealed that MXSG reprogrammed tryptophan metabolism, restoring tryptamine and rebalancing kynurenine, indole, and serotonin-related branches. Anaerobic fermentation and LC-MS/MS profiling identified microbiota-dependent flavonoids, and isorhamnetin partially reproduced the anti-inflammatory and ILC2-modulating effects in vivo. MXSG exerts its anti-asthmatic effects via the gut microbiota-tryptophan metabolism-ILC2 axis. These findings reveal a novel gut-lung mechanism centered on type 2 innate immunity and microbiota-derived indole metabolism.",

To capture this spectrum, the concept of allergic fungal airway disease (AFAD) has been proposed. Animal models have been central to uncovering how fungi drive airway inflammation. Extract-based models are simple and reproducible and highlight epithelial alarm signaling and type 2 immunity, although they do not reflect chronic infection. Spore-based models using Aspergillus fumigatus or Alternaria alternata more closely mimic human disease, producing mixed eosinophilic and neutrophilic inflammation, airway hyperreactivity, and mucus plugging. Advances using clinical isolates, gene-edited fungal strains, and combined exposure systems (for example, cigarette smoke plus spores) have further improved relevance by linking fungal virulence and host factors to disease severity. This review summarizes available models, their strengths and limitations, and their utility in elucidating AFAD pathogenesis and informing therapy.",
"42292359": "ID: 42292359\nTitle: Innate immune regulation of adaptive immunity: mechanisms, implications, and bias.\nAbstract: Innate immunity is not merely an early defensive system but a key regulator of adaptive immune fate. Through pattern-recognition receptor signaling, antigen presentation, cytokine production, and metabolic-epigenetic reprogramming, innate immune responses shape the strength, duration, and direction of T- and B-cell immunity. This review summarizes how innate immune regulation of adaptive immunity contributes to immune dysregulation in infection, autoimmunity, and allergic disease. We focus on three major mechanisms: remodeling of antigen presentation and costimulation, reshaping of cytokine microenvironments that guide T helper cell polarization, and metabolic-epigenetic programming associated with trained immunity or immune tolerance. We further propose that disease outcomes can be interpreted through three regulatory dimensions of innate immune signaling: insufficient signal strength promotes defective pathogen control and weak adaptive priming; persistent or excessive activation sustains autoimmune inflammation and loss of tolerance; and type 2-biased epithelial-innate signaling drives allergic inflammation through the alarmin-ILC2-Th2-IgE axis. By integrating molecular signaling, innate immune cell crosstalk, metabolic regulation, and epigenetic remodeling, this review provides a concise framework for understanding how innate immune imbalance shapes adaptive immune dysfunction and highlights therapeutic opportunities targeting interferon pathways, inflammasomes, epithelial alarmins, metabolic programs, and microbiome-related immune regulation.",

Despite the economic importance of pear (Pyrus bretschneideri), comprehensive insights into its RLCK gene family remain limited. This study identified 155 PbrRLCKs in the Chinese white pear genome and systematically characterized their phylogenetic relationships, chromosome distribution, conserved motifs and gene structures. Segmental duplication was identified as the primary driver of PbrRLCK family expansion. Promoter analysis revealed numerous cis-acting elements linked to light, hormones, stress and developmental responses. Transcriptome analysis indicated that PbrRLCKs exhibited marked heterogeneity in response to Alternaria alternata infection. Subcellular localization assays revealed that PbrRLCK99 is localized to the plasma membrane. Moreover, functional analysis demonstrated that PbrRLCK99-silenced lines increased susceptibility to A. alternata, along with elevated H2O2 accumulation and decreased activities of defense enzymes including chitinase (CHI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD). Conversely, PbrRLCK99-overexpressing pear callus enhanced resistance, characterized by decreased H2O2 levels, increased activities of PPO and PAL, and upregulation of salicylic acid (SA)-responsive genes (WRKY53 and PAD4) and the defense enzyme gene CHI. These findings provide the first comprehensive genomic overview of RLCK family in pear and establish PbrRLCK99 as a crucial positive regulator in the defense against black spot disease, with its function potentially associated with the SA signaling pathway, offering new insights into the molecular mechanisms of disease resistance in fruit trees.",
"42302976": "ID: 42302976\nTitle: Beyond proteostasis: LONP1 as an immunometabolic checkpoint in health and disease.\nAbstract: Mitochondrial Lon protease 1 (LONP1) is an ATP-dependent protease involved in mitochondrial protein quality control, mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance, and stress adaptation. Beyond this canonical role, accumulating evidence links LONP1 to metabolic rewiring, inflammatory signaling, immune-cell polarization, and disease-associated mitochondrial dysfunction. Recent human LONP1 cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) structures have revealed nucleotide- and substrate-dependent conformational states, including fold-sensing intermediates, pore-loop rearrangements, and catalytic-site organization, providing a structural framework for substrate processing and state-dependent ligandability. Functionally, LONP1 regulates the turnover or stability of metabolic enzymes such as pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4), 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 (HMGCS2), and aconitase 2 (ACO2), thereby influencing carbon flux, epigenetic regulation, and immune-related metabolic programs. LONP1 deficiency or dysfunction can promote mitochondrial stress responses, including mtDNA release and cyclic GMP-AMP synthase-stimulator of interferon genes (cGAS-STING)-dependent inflammation, with implications for aging, pulmonary fibrosis, developmental disorders such as cerebral, ocular, dental, auricular, and skeletal anomalies (CODAS) syndrome, and organ injury. Conversely, increased LONP1 activity or expression has been associated with tumor progression, desmoplastic remodeling, ferroptosis resistance, and viral pathogenesis in selected models, including severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Pharmacological studies, including activators, dual-target inhibitors, and bortezomib-bound structural complexes, support the potential ligandability of LONP1 but also highlight unresolved issues in selectivity, target engagement, mitochondrial toxicity, and context-dependent therapeutic windows. This review summarizes current structural, mechanistic, and pharmacological evidence for LONP1 as a context-dependent immunometabolic regulatory node and discusses limitations and open questions that must be addressed before clinical translation.",

A prospective cohort study was conducted from May 1 to September 30, 2024. Fifty children under 6 years of age with recurrent wheezing were enrolled as the wheezing group from the Department of Respiratory Medicine at Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, while 51 age-matched children with bronchial foreign bodies were recruited as controls during the same period. Levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Children in the wheezing group were followed for one year and were subsequently categorized into an asthma group or a non-asthma group based on the follow-up outcomes. Integrating these clinical data with BALF cytokine levels, we constructed a predictive model for asthma development using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. Univariate analysis revealed significant differences between the wheezing group and the control group in terms of clinical characteristics (the number of wheezing episodes, age, history of allergy, breastfeeding), peripheral blood eosinophil count, BALF parameters (nucleated cells, red blood cells, neutrophils, macrophages), and cytokine levels (IL-25, IL-33, TSLP) (P\u2009<\u20090.05). Of the 47 children in the wheezing group who completed the follow-up, 17 were diagnosed with asthma (asthma group) and 30 did not develop asthma (non-asthma group). Univariable analysis revealed significant differences between these two groups in terms of age, the number of wheezing episodes, levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF (P\u2009<\u20090.05). Logistic regression analysis confirmed that these factors were significant predictors for the progression to asthma in children with recurrent wheezing (P\u2009<\u20090.05).ROC curve analysis demonstrated that the combination of the number of wheezing episodes with IL-25, IL-33, or TSLP levels yielded higher predictive values, with area under the curve (AUC) values of 0.90 (95% CI: 0.788-1.000), 0.946 (95% CI: 0.855-1.000), and 0.86 (95% CI: 0.698-1.000), respectively. These were superior to predictions based on wheezing episodes alone (AUC: 0.705) or individual cytokine levels (IL-25 AUC: 0.779; IL-33 AUC: 0.857; TSLP AUC: 0.841). In children under 6 years with recurrent wheezing, the levels of IL-25, IL-33, and TSLP in BALF are elevated and hold predictive value for the subsequent development of asthma, providing a reference for the early clinical identification of at-risk children.",

Studying ILCs within their native microenvironment remains challenging due to the low abundance of these tissue-resident immune cells. Here, we applied cyclic multiplex immunofluorescence, namely multiepitope ligand cartography (MELC), in a systemic IL-33-induced type 2 inflammation model to spatio-temporally characterize ILC phenotype and localization in mouse lungs. Niche analysis with all identified cell types resulted in four distinct niches and an expansion of a mixed B and Plasma cell (BPC)/blood endothelial cell (BEC) niche, while the niche predominated by blood endothelial cells decreased at IL-33 day 3. Spatial neighborhood and coenrichment analyses revealed ILC2 accumulation in myeloid-rich peri-lymphatic niches at early time points of IL-33-mediated inflammation. ILC2s were in direct contact with activated alveolar macrophages and lymphatics. While they expressed ICOS under homeostatic conditions, pronounced expression of MHCII at days 1 and 3 of IL-33 stimulation was observed. Unlike ILC2s, NK\u00a0cells/ILC1s were coenriched near blood\u00a0vessels, next to B\u00a0cells\u00a0and plasma cells. Our findings demonstrate the utility of spatial multiplex imaging for dissecting rare immune cell localization and phenotypes and uncover dynamic, tissue-specific remodeling of ILC niches during early type 2 inflammation.",

A subset of ILC2s, which expresses KIT (CD117), display increased phenotypic plasticity and have previously been linked to severe asthma and psoriasis. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting a KIT+ ILC2 state remain poorly understood. We defined the molecular basis for the enhanced plasticity of KIT+ ILC2s and identified signals that induce this phenotype, including links with immune disease susceptibility. We combined bulk as well as single-cell transcriptome (RNA sequencing) and epigenome (assay for transposase-accessible chromatin using sequencing) analysis with in vitro culture assays using primary human KIT+ or KITneg ILC2s and multipotent ILC progenitors. Epigenomic data were integrated with genetic risk variants for major human immune diseases. Multiomic analyses revealed that KIT+ ILC2s maintain a unique hybrid character marked by expression and open chromatin of genes linked to both ILC progenitors and ILC2 biology. KIT+ ILC2s showed extensive epigenomic priming at gene loci related to naive lymphocyte biology, tissue homing, and ILC3 effector functions, including IL17 and IL23R-explaining why KIT+ ILC2s are poised to adopt an ILC3-like phenotype. Genetic risk variants for asthma and autoimmunity are enriched in the poised epigenome of KIT+ ILC2s. Common \u03b3-chain cytokines IL-2/IL-7 induced and maintained a KIT+ phenotype in KITneg ILC2s through STAT5 activation. Our study defines KIT+ ILC2s as existing in a developmentally immature state and carrying a precursor-like epigenome that promotes phenotypic plasticity and is linked to immune disease susceptibility. Importantly, we identify STAT5-mediated cytokine signals as candidates for therapeutic targeting of KIT+ ILC2s.",
"42310240": "ID: 42310240\nTitle: Downregulation of Lonp1 Promotes Melanocyte Pyroptosis via Suppressing Mitophagy and Activating NLRP3 Pathway in Vitiligo under Oxidative Stress.\nAbstract: Vitiligo is an autoimmune skin disease characterized by the loss of epidermal melanocytes. Oxidative stress serves as a key initiating factor in its pathogenesis. Mitochondria, known as the powerhouse of the cell, perform multiple essential functions in eukaryotic cells and participate in melanocyte physiological processes. Lonp1 is a crucial mitochondrial matrix soluble protease involved in maintaining mtDNA stability, clearing aberrant proteins, and regulating mitochondrial homeostasis. Meanwhile, mitophagy serves as a crucial function within the mitochondrial quality control system, responsible for eliminating damaged mitochondria. Pyroptosis is a form of programmed cell death mediated by inflammasomes, accompanied by cell membrane pore formation and the release of inflammatory cytokines. This study confirmed that oxidative stress was associated with decreased Lonp1 in PIG1 cells, the human melanocyte line. This downregulation impairs mitochondrial homeostasis by suppressing the expression of PINK1, a key mitophagy-related protein, ultimately leading to activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway, release of IL-1\u03b2, and induction of melanocyte pyroptosis.",

Here we investigated the mechanisms by which OD extract (ODE) activates immune signaling pathways in human bronchial epithelial cells. ODE rapidly stimulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and a biphasic increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentration ([Ca2+]i), consisting of an early transient peak followed by a smaller sustained phase. Antioxidant scavenger pretreatment (glutathione, N-acetyl-cysteine) markedly attenuated both ROS production and Ca2+ mobilization, whereas induction of endogenous antioxidant defenses with bardoxolone abolished the response, indicating redox sensitivity. Pharmacologic inhibition of Gq\u03b1 with YM-254890 suppressed both phases of the Ca2+ response, implicating Gq-coupled receptor activation. Consistent with an autocrine amplification mechanism, selective antagonists of histamine (H1), cysteinyl leukotriene (CysLT1 and CysLT2), leukotriene B4 (BLT1), and prostaglandin receptors (EP1) each reduced ODE-evoked Ca2+ mobilization. In parallel, inhibitors of histidine decarboxylase, 5-lipoxygenase, and cyclooxygenases (COX-1/COX-2) attenuated Ca2+ signaling, supporting rapid endogenous ligand production and secretion. Downstream of Ca2+ mobilization, ODE activated protein kinase C alpha/beta (PKC\u03b1/\u03b2) and protein kinase C delta (PKC\u03b4) and induced robust transcription of proinflammatory cytokine and chemokine mRNAs (IL1\u03b2, IL6, IL8, IL33, TNF\u03b1) within 2 h of exposure. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay confirmed increased secretion of IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, IL-8, and IL-33, with differential sensitivity to PKC isoforms and NF-\u03baB inhibition. These findings identify a redox-sensitive G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)\u00a0network that amplifies Gq-dependent Ca2+ signaling in airway epithelial cells and provides a mechanistic framework for epithelial inflammatory activation following ROS-inducing environmental exposures.NEW & NOTEWORTHY This study investigates how agricultural organic dust promotes airway inflammation. We show that organic dust extract rapidly induces ROS production along with a biphasic Ca2+ response through a redox-sensitive, Gq-coupled G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR)\u00a0network involving histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins. This signaling cascade activates PKC isoforms that trigger production and secretion of inflammatory cytokines, linking oxidative stress to Ca2+-dependent inflammatory responses by the airway epithelium following organic dust exposure.",

Despite the established role of intercellular adhesion molecules (ICAMs) and L-selectin (CD62L) in these processes, their dysregulation in SEA and their potential remodulation in response to biologic therapy remain unclear.To investigate the expression of adhesion molecules (ICAM-1, ICAM-3, CD62L) on T-cell subsets in SEA, their modulation by IL-25 and IL-33, and the immunological impact of benralizumab therapy. Peripheral blood from SEA patients and healthy controls were analysed using flow cytometry and live-cell imaging. A subset of patients was re-evaluated after 6\u2009months of benralizumab therapy to assess changes in T-cell phenotype, adhesion molecule expression, proliferation, and cytotoxicity. At baseline, SEA patients exhibited a marked Treg/Th2 imbalance, with increased ICAM-1 and CD62L expression on effector T cells and reduced ICAM-3 on Tregs. Alarmin stimulation enhanced ICAM-1 and CD62L expression on Th2 and Treg subsets and increased T-cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. After benralizumab therapy, Treg levels increased, and effector T-cell expression of ICAM-1, ICAM-3, and CD62L was significantly downregulated upon alarmin stimulation, suggesting a restoration of immune homoeostasis. SEA is associated with alarmin-driven dysregulation of adhesion molecule expression on T cells. Treatment with benralizumab induces an at least partial immunological rebalancing by indirectly modulating T-cell responses to epithelial-derived signals.",
"42327099": "ID: 42327099\nTitle: Mitochondrial degradation of metallothionein enables local zinc mobilization during zinc limitation.\nAbstract: Zinc is an essential structural and enzymatic cofactor for roughly 10% of proteins, including transcription factors, metabolic enzymes, and cytoskeletal components. It also supports critical functions across organelles such as gene regulation in the nucleus, protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, and energy production and antioxidant defense in mitochondria. Despite these indispensable roles, the cellular mechanism that recycles zinc to maintain homeostasis during zinc deficiency remains poorly understood. Here, we identify a biphasic response to zinc limitation, which involves the rapid degradation of the zinc-storing metallothionein followed by the degradation, in an autophagy-dependent manner, of other zinc-binding proteins. We show that metallothionein is rapidly imported into the mitochondria to be degraded by the mitoprotease LONP1. Zinc starvation leads to severe mitochondrial dysfunction and metallothionein degradation allows local zinc release to alleviate nutrient stress. Our results reveal a non-canonical, mitochondria-mediated degradation pathway for a nutrient-storing protein that mobilizes zinc locally to maintain metabolic homeostasis and establish mitochondria as active hubs for nutrient recycling.",
"42327775": "ID: 42327775\nTitle: Restoring balance in atopic disorders: insights into type 2 immunity and chronic inflammation.\nAbstract: Atopic diseases arise from an immunological imbalance where regulatory mechanisms are unable to preserve or restore homeostasis, leading to chronic inflammatory conditions affecting epithelial organs. This may involve homeostasis, deficient or insufficient regulatory T cells (Tregs) or other aberrant regulatory mechanisms. Type 2 (T2) immunity is a conserved response that evolved to combat large helminth parasites (worms), venoms, and toxins involving both innate and adaptive immune pathways. Many T2 cytokines and alarmins act to recruit and activate innate and adaptive immune cells, and they also lead to mucous production, hyperplasia, and tissue remodeling. These responses were designed to enhance expulsion of parasites, repair the barrier and elicit protective mechanical reflexes such as scratching or coughing. Today, with reduced parasitic exposure serving as an opposing influence on T2 immunity, it is hypothesized that T2 responses may be triggered by low amounts of environmental stimuli in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to unchecked T2 inflammation and atopic diseases at multiple barrier surfaces. This paper reviews the evidence linking host T2 immunity with T2 inflammatory mechanisms in atopic diseases and explores the hypothesis that these diseases may be perpetuated from a central imbalance between Th2 vs. Th1, Th3, and Tregs, influenced by tissue-dependent, local environmental-insult-driven innate cell responses, interconnected by a cycle of self-amplifying cytokine signaling.",

Alveolar bone resorption following tooth extraction significantly alters jaw morphology, complicating subsequent functional rehabilitation. Despite its clinical significance, the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing bone regeneration within extraction sockets remain poorly understood. Here, we identified group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) as pivotal regulators of alveolar bone regeneration following tooth extraction. Using single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry, we demonstrated that ILC2s accumulate and persist within extraction sockets beyond the acute inflammatory phase. Genetic lymphocyte ablation revealed that loss of all ILCs severely impairs bone formation, highlighting their essential role in socket regeneration. Following tooth extraction, ILC2s exhibited increased interleukin (IL)-13 production and promoted bone formation via IL-13-mediated activation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cells. Single-cell RNA sequencing and histological analyses suggested that gingival fibroblasts are a major source of IL-33 in extraction sockets during mucosal healing. IL-33 activated ILC2s, increasing IL-13 production and promoting osteogenesis, whereas IL-33 neutralization suppressed ILC2 activation and impaired socket bone regeneration. Collectively, these findings suggest that the gingival fibroblast-IL-33-ILC2-IL-13 axis may contribute to the regulation of alveolar bone regeneration following tooth extraction. This study provides a biological basis for developing novel therapeutic strategies to optimize postextraction bone preservation.",

To compare the efficacy and safety of seven biologic agents (dupilumab, omalizumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, depemokimab, tezepelumab, and stapokibart) for the treatment of severe CRSwNP. We systematically reviewed randomized trials in PubMed and EMBASE evaluating biologic agents for severe CRSwNP. Primary outcomes were changes in nasal-polyp score (NPS) and nasal congestion score (NCS) at 20-24 and 48-56 weeks. Secondary outcomes included changes in loss-of-smell, SNOT-22, UPSIT, Lund-Mackay scores, need for nasal-polyp surgery or systemic corticosteroids, and safety. We used mean differences (MDs) and odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for analysis. Fifteen randomized trials involving 3,642 patients were included. At 20-24 weeks, dupilumab and stapokibart produced greater reductions in NPS and NCS compared to depemokimab, omalizumab, and benralizumab, with no significant differences between dupilumab and stapokibart for NPS (MD: 0.29; 95%CI: [-0.97, 0.40]) and NCS (MD: 0.19; 95%CI: [-0.03, 0.42]). At 48-56 weeks, dupilumab and tezepelumab produced greater reductions in NPS and NCS than depemokimab, mepolizumab, or benralizumab; no significant differences were observed between dupilumab and tezepelumab for NPS (MD: 0.32; 95%CI: [-0.17, 0.81]) and NCS (MD: 0.06; 95%CI: [-0.19, 0.31]). Dupilumab, tezepelumab (at 48-56 weeks only) and stapokibart (at 20-24 weeks only) showed superior outcomes for secondary endpoints against other tested biologics. There were no analyzable data for stapokibart at 48-56 weeks and tezepelumab at 20-24 weeks. In the subgroup of patients with concomitant asthma, tezepelumab was superior to depemokimab and mepolizumab at 48-56 weeks, while at 20-24 weeks stapokibart was not superior to dupilumab with regards to NPS and NCS. In patients with concomitant aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease, tezepelumab was superior to depemokimab in reducing NPS and NCS, while at 20-24 weeks, dupilumab was superior to omalizumab with regards to reductions in NPS and NCS. Safety profiles were comparable across agents. Dupilumab, tezepelumab, and stapokibart were associated with greater clinical benefit than other biologics in severe CRSwNP. Indirect comparisons did not demonstrate superiority of stapokibart (at 20-24 weeks) or tezepelumab (at 48-56 weeks) over dupilumab, highlighting the need for direct comparative trials.",
"42402170": "ID: 42402170\nTitle: IL-33/ST2 Signaling Sustains Hepato-Intestinal Homeostasis by Orchestrating Vascular Surveillance and Immune Regulatory Circuits During Experimental Trypanosoma cruzi Infection.\nAbstract: Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is characterized by a complex interplay between parasite persistence and host-driven immunopathology. Although the IL-33/ST2 axis is known to regulate type 2 immunity and tissue repair, its contribution to tissue homeostasis during chronic infection remains poorly understood. Using ST2-deficient (ST2-/-) and wild-type BALB/c mice followed for up to 100\u2009days postinfection, we investigated the role of IL-33/ST2 signaling in coordinating hepato-intestinal response and systemic immunity. ST2 deficiency induced coordinated systemic disturbances, including platelet expansion and hyperalbuminemia. At the tissue level, loss of ST2 exacerbated hepatic inflammation and fibrotic remodeling. In the colon, ST2-/- mice displayed increased nitric oxide production and enhanced parasite clearance, but developed marked structural alterations. Our findings suggest that IL-33/ST2 signaling is associated with regulatory programs. ST2 deficiency was associated with a reduction in patrolling monocytes, suggesting impaired homeostatic endothelial monitoring. This profile also coincided with inflammatory monocyte-derived dendritic cell differentiation and lowered macrophage regulatory activity. This altered profile was associated with amplified IL-12-driven Th1 and cytotoxic T-cell responses while impairing IL-10-associated regulatory niches, resulting in multiorgan inflammation. These findings suggest that IL-33/ST2 signaling may contribute to immunoregulatory balance during T. cruzi infection and identify this axis as a candidate pathway for future mechanistic and therapeutic investigation.",

Methods:This prospective study included 36 patients with moderate-to-severe CRSwNP who received stapokibart treatment\uff08300 mg every 2 weeks for 16 weeks\uff09. Observational indicators included SNOT-22 scores, total nasal Visual Analog Scale\uff08VAS\uff09 scores, olfactory function scores, nasal polyp scores\uff08NPS\uff09, sinus CT Lund-Mackay scores, and peripheral blood eosinophil counts. The primary endpoints were the mean changes from baseline in the SNOT-22 score and nasal endoscopy-assessed nasal polyp score\uff08NPS\uff09 at Week 16. Univariate random intercept mixed linear models were employed to evaluate factors influencing therapeutic response. Results:After 16 weeks of treatment, both subjective and objective indicators showed significant improvement: the mean SNOT-22 score decreased from\uff0845.90\u00b115.60\uff09 at baseline to\uff0818.20\u00b113.60\uff09, the NPS improved by an average of\uff082.72\u00b11.93\uff09 points, and the Sniffin'Sticks olfactory identification score increased by\uff085.36\u00b13.84\uff09 points\uff08all P<0.001\uff09. Olfactory symptoms exhibited early improvement by week 2 of treatment. The univariate random intercept mixed linear model revealed that baseline variables-including age, BMI, history of surgery, allergic rhinitis, history of asthma, and peripheral blood counts-did not significantly predict the longitudinal improvement trend of the SNOT-22 score\uff08P>0.05\uff09. Regarding safety, injection site reactions involving swelling and pain were the most frequently reported adverse events, and no serious adverse events occurred. Conclusion:Stapokibart demonstrated significant and rapid efficacy with a favorable safety profile in real-world clinical practice for moderate-to-severe CRSwNP, showing strong applicability across different baseline patient characteristics. \u76ee\u7684\uff1a\u8bc4\u4ef7\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\uff08stapokibart\uff09\u6cbb\u7597\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6\u6162\u6027\u9f3b\u7aa6\u708e\u4f34\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\uff08CRSwNP\uff09\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u4e16\u754c\u7597\u6548\u3001\u5b89\u5168\u6027\uff0c\u5e76\u63a2\u7d22\u5f71\u54cd\u751f\u6d3b\u8d28\u91cf\u6539\u5584\u7684\u57fa\u7ebf\u9884\u6d4b\u56e0\u7d20\u3002 \u65b9\u6cd5\uff1a\u672c\u7814\u7a76\u524d\u77bb\u6027\u7eb3\u516536\u4f8b\u63a5\u53d7\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u6cbb\u7597\uff08300 mg\uff0c\u6bcf2\u54681\u6b21\uff0c\u517116\u5468\uff09\u7684\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6CRSwNP\u60a3\u8005\u3002\u89c2\u5bdf\u6307\u6807\u5305\u62ecSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u603b\u9f3bVAS\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u55c5\u89c9\u529f\u80fd\u8bc4\u5206\u3001\u9f3b\u606f\u8089\u8bc4\u5206\uff08NPS\uff09\u3001\u9f3b\u7aa6CT Lund-Mackay\u8bc4\u5206\u53ca\u5916\u5468\u8840\u55dc\u9178\u6027\u7c92\u7ec6\u80de\u8ba1\u6570\u7b49\u3002\u91c7\u7528\u5355\u53d8\u91cf\u968f\u673a\u622a\u8ddd\u6df7\u5408\u7ebf\u6027\u6a21\u578b\u5206\u6790\u8bc4\u4f30\u7597\u6548\u5f71\u54cd\u56e0\u7d20\u3002 \u7ed3\u679c\uff1a\u6cbb\u759716\u5468\u540e\uff0c\u60a3\u8005\u4e3b\u5ba2\u89c2\u6307\u6807\u5747\u663e\u8457\u6539\u5584\uff1aSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u7531\u57fa\u7ebf\uff0845.90\u00b115.60\uff09\u5206\u964d\u81f3\uff0818.20\u00b113.60\uff09\u5206\uff0cNPS\u8bc4\u5206\u5e73\u5747\u6539\u5584\uff082.72\u00b11.93\uff09\u5206\uff0cSniffin'Sticks\u55c5\u89c9\u8bc6\u522b\u8bc4\u5206\u63d0\u5347\uff085.36\u00b13.84\uff09\u5206\uff08\u5747P<0.001\uff09\u3002\u55c5\u89c9\u75c7\u72b6\u5728\u6cbb\u75972\u5468\u65f6\u5373\u51fa\u73b0\u65e9\u671f\u6539\u5584\u3002\u5355\u53d8\u91cf\u968f\u673a\u622a\u8ddd\u6df7\u5408\u7ebf\u6027\u6a21\u578b\u663e\u793a\uff0c\u5e74\u9f84\u3001BMI\u3001\u624b\u672f\u53f2\u3001\u53d8\u5e94\u6027\u9f3b\u708e\u3001\u54ee\u5598\u75c5\u53f2\u53ca\u57fa\u7ebf\u5916\u5468\u8840\u8ba1\u6570\u7b49\u6307\u6807\u5747\u4e0d\u80fd\u663e\u8457\u9884\u6d4bSNOT-22\u8bc4\u5206\u7684\u7eb5\u5411\u6539\u5584\u8d8b\u52bf\uff08P>0.05\uff09\u3002\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u65b9\u9762\uff0c\u6ce8\u5c04\u90e8\u4f4d\u80bf\u75db\u7684\u76f8\u5173\u53cd\u5e94\u6700\u5e38\u89c1\uff0c\u672a\u53d1\u751f\u4e25\u91cd\u4e0d\u826f\u4e8b\u4ef6\u3002 \u7ed3\u8bba\uff1a\u53f8\u666e\u5947\u62dc\u5355\u6297\u5728\u4e2d\u91cd\u5ea6CRSwNP\u7684\u771f\u5b9e\u4e16\u754c\u4e34\u5e8a\u5b9e\u8df5\u4e2d\u663e\u793a\u51fa\u663e\u8457\u4e14\u5feb\u901f\u7684\u7597\u6548\uff0c\u5b89\u5168\u6027\u826f\u597d\uff0c\u4e14\u5176\u7597\u6548\u83b7\u76ca\u5177\u6709\u8f83\u5f3a\u7684\u666e\u9002\u6027\u3002.",

Physical examination revealed polyp-like masses in bilateral olfactory clefts and middle meatus. The patient was diagnosed with chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps\uff08CRSwNP\uff09 and exhibited poor response to an adequate course of topical intranasal corticosteroids, then he enrolled in two clinical trials using anti IL4-R\u03b1 and anti-TSLP monoclonal antibodies consequently. The treatment duration for each trial was 16 weeks, respectively. The size of his nasal polyps did not change, which was the main endpoint result for both clinical trials. Then the patient underwent an endoscopic surgery and the pathology was respiratory epithelial adenomatoid hamartoma\uff08REAH\uff09, which was further confirmed by the single cell sequencing results of the operative specimen, which were different from normal nasal polyps. The diagnosis of REAH is dependent on pathology and preoperative examination has limited specificity, and REAH may share similarities with nasal polyps.

Results:The comorbidity group had significantly aggravated sinonasal inflammation and lung function damage: Lund-Kennedy score\uff0814.740\u00b15.465 vs Single disease group: 8.49\u00b14.02, P<0.001\uff09, EOS%\uff0813.68%\u00b13.47% vs 3.95%\u00b12.13%, P<0.001\uff09 were the highest, and 25\uff08OH\uff09 D[\uff0820.22\u00b18.20\uff09nmol/L vs \uff0841.55\u00b114.37\uff09nmol/L, P<0.001] was the lowest, and pulmonary function limitation\uff08FEV1.0/FVC=77.15%\u00b115.92% vs 97.43%\u00b114.01%\uff09 was the most significant\uff08P<0.001\uff09. Multivariate regression analysis showed that comorbidity group\uff08odds ratio, OR=2.482, 95%CI 1.350-4.562\uff09 and Lund-Kennedy score\uff08OR=1.583, 95%CI 1.358-1.844\uff09 were independent risk factors for 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency. Both of them also significantly predicted lung function limitation\uff08OR=5.341, 1.414\uff09. The ROC curve confirmed that a Lund-Kennedy score of \u226514 predicted a 92.5% sensitivity for vitamin D deficiency, and a score of \u226511 predicted a 100% sensitivity for pulmonary function limitation. Conclusion:A Lund-Kennedy score of \u226514 and 11 are high-risk warning indicators for 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency and restricted lung function. Sinonasal lesions in severe CRSwNP coexisting with Th2-type inflammation are accompanied by more significant 25\uff08OH\uff09 D deficiency and lung function impairment.

This retrospective, observational, nonrandomized study has been conducted between January 2021-December 2022 enrolling 186 consecutive patients with CRSwNP (Group A, n=119 patients) and CRSsNP (Group B, n=67 patients), for whom endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) have been performed. Among the CRSwNP group, 27 (23%) patients had asthma, and 22 (18.48%) patients had associated nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) hypersensitivity, in comparison with CRSsNP group, where we found two (3.03%) patients who had associated asthma and one (1.51%) patient who had associated NSAIDs hypersensitivity. Among the CRSsNP (Group B) patients, 18 (27%) had peripheral blood hypereosinophilia, while eosinophilic infiltration was identified in the HP analysis of biopsy samples from 18 (27%) individuals in this group. Among the cohort of patients diagnosed with CRSwNP, 56 (47%) had blood hypereosinophilia, while eosinophils were detected in the HP analysis of biopsy samples from 73 (61%) individuals.

"42403863": "ID: 42403863\nTitle: Impact of Exercise-Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation on Systemic Inflammation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD): A Narrative Review on Evidence and Insights.\nAbstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by persistent airway inflammation, progressive airflow limitation, and frequent exacerbations that adversely affect functional capacity and clinical outcomes. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an established non-pharmacological intervention that improves exercise tolerance, symptom burden, and quality of life. However, its effects on systemic inflammation remain unclear. This narrative review aimed to synthesize current evidence on the impact of exercise-based PR on systemic inflammatory markers in COPD. The review further outlines pulmonary rehabilitation and explores the mechanisms and clinical significance of systemic inflammation in COPD, including its impact on exacerbations, prognosis, and comorbidities, as well as PR's influence on inflammatory pathways. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using PubMed, Scopus, and EMBASE databases. Studies published in English over the past 15 years involving human participants were considered. Included studies were randomized controlled trials and clinical studies evaluating the effect of PR or exercise-based interventions on systemic inflammatory biomarkers. PR programs were predominantly multicomponent, combining aerobic and resistance training with breathing exercises and education, typically delivered over 8-12 weeks. Evidence regarding their impact on systemic inflammation was inconsistent despite improvements in physiological and functional outcomes, along with exercise capacity, symptom control, and quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation may modulate systemic inflammation in COPD, but effects are variable and not consistently demonstrated. Its clinical benefits are more reliably reflected in functional and symptomatic improvements rather than biomarker changes. Further standardized, high-quality studies are needed to clarify the long-term anti-inflammatory potential of PR.",
"42403892": "ID: 42403892\nTitle: Validity of an Alternaria alternata Skin Prick Test Extract for Diagnosing Sensitization.\nAbstract: Alternaria alternata is a major fungal allergen, yet standardized skin prick test (SPT) extracts are lacking in China, hindering the use of this simple, first-line diagnostic tool. This study aimed to clinically evaluate a novel, domestically developed A. alternata extract for SPT and establish a diagnostic cutoff in a Chinese population. In this prospective, single-center study, 910 patients with allergic diseases were consecutively enrolled. All underwent SPT with the in-house A. alternata extract (Alt a 1: 25.7-34.8\u00a0\u00b5g/mL). Serum-specific IgE (sIgE) (ImmunoCAP\u2122) served as the reference standard. Diagnostic accuracy was analyzed using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. Safety was assessed by monitoring adverse events. The per-protocol set included 610 subjects. The area under the ROC curve was 0.868 (95% CI: 0.839-0.897). The optimal diagnostic cutoff was a mean wheal diameter of 3.25 mm, yielding a sensitivity of 81.10% (95% CI: 76.76%-85.24%) and specificity of 79.32% (95% CI: 74.46%-84.18%). To achieve 95% specificity, the cutoff increased to 4.25 mm. No adverse events were reported among all 910 participants. The novel A. alternata SPT extract demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy for detecting Alternaria alternata sensitization and an excellent safety profile. The established cutoff of 3.25 mm provides a population-optimized threshold for identifying sensitized individuals in China. This study addresses a critical gap in allergen standardization and supports the use of SPT as a reliable first-line tool for assessing fungal sensitization in clinical practice.

"42405208": "ID: 42405208\nTitle: IgE Production Beyond Classical T-Cell Help.\nAbstract: IgE plays a central role in allergic diseases by binding to specific allergens and triggering the release of inflammatory mediators from mast cells and basophils. Conventionally, allergen-specific IgE is generated by T-cell-dependent mechanisms in which IL-4-producing CD4+ T helper cells, including Th2 cells and T follicular helper cells, orchestrate B cell class switch recombination to IgE. However, elevated IgE levels are also observed in diverse contexts, including primary immunodeficiencies and inflammatory conditions, where allergen involvement is less clear, suggesting the existence of additional pathways for IgE biogenesis. Supporting this notion, recent studies have identified alternative routes in which innate immune cells such as basophils or group 2 innate lymphoid cells provide bystander IL-4 to drive the production of IgE. In this review, we provide a comprehensive overview of IgE production pathways and examine how they operate across physiological and pathological conditions. Recognizing this mechanistic diversity will deepen our understanding of IgE biology beyond its role in allergy, highlighting its multifaceted contributions to barrier defense, protective immunity, and the pathogenesis of various inflammatory disorders.",
"42405352": "ID: 42405352\nTitle: AI-based prediction of aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease using nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles.\nAbstract: Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is a distinct asthma endotype marked by asthma, nasal polyposis, and respiratory reactions to COX-1 inhibitors. Early and accurate identification of AERD remains clinically challenging. We sought to develop and externally validate an artificial intelligence (AI)-based diagnostic model that uses nasal epithelial mRNA expression profiles to accurately identify AERD. mRNA gene expression profiles were obtained from nasal epithelial brushing in 71 subjects with AERD and 57 without AERD. AI models were trained to predict an AERD diagnosis in a training cohort using gene expression alone, which was then validated on an independent validation cohort. The clinical data analysis revealed noteworthy findings of AERD: 29% reported cutaneous manifestations during nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug reactions, 50% experienced symptoms related to alcohol consumption, and 59% required 2 or more sinus surgeries. AERD was predicted with an accuracy of 93% in the training cohort and 83% in the independent validation cohort. The top AERD-predicting genes included IL1RL1 (IL-33 receptor) and CLC (Charcot-Leyden crystal protein), which are known to be important to AERD pathogenesis. Nasal transcriptomics can predict AERD diagnosis accurately and may improve disease understanding, enabling earlier and more precise endotype-based diagnosis and management.",
"42406837": "ID: 42406837\nTitle: The scaffolding protein AKAP79/150 shapes innate immune responses to allergen.\nAbstract: Inhalation of house dust mite-derived allergens is a major factor leading to the development of asthma both in children and adults. Allergens stimulate Ca2+-dependent pro-inflammatory cytokine and chemokine gene expression through the opening of ORAI1 Ca2+ channels in the surface membrane of various immune cell-types within the lung. ORAI1 participates in a signalosome with the scaffolding protein A-kinase anchoring protein (AKAP)79/150 (encoded by the Akap5 gene), which binds numerous protein kinases, calcineurin and transcription factors required for cytokine expression. However, the role of AKAP79/150 in immune cell activation and the development of airway inflammation in response to allergens has not been established. We found that AKAP79/150 is expressed in mast cells and macrophages, where it has a pivotal role in driving pro-inflammatory cytokine production in response to house dust mite challenge. By contrast, AKAP79/150 expression in T cells was low and had little impact on cytokine release following T cell activation. Akap5-/- mice exhibited significantly reduced type 2 inflammation in the lungs following HDM exposure compared with wild-type controls. Our data demonstrate that AKAP79/150 is an important co-ordinator of inflammation within the lung in response to airborne allergens, through actions primarily on cells of the innate immune system.",

Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 30 paediatric participants: 10 healthy age- and sex-matched controls, 10 burn patients whose wounds healed within 21 days (normal healing), and 10 patients with healing times exceeding 21 days (delayed healing). Flow cytometry was used to quantify immune cell subsets and intracellular cytokine expression, and plasma cytokines were measured via multiplex immunoassay. There were no significant differences in the proportions of major immune cell subsets-including CD4\u207a T-helper cells, CD8\u207a cytotoxic T cells, monocytes, and macrophages-between the groups. However, delayed healing patients exhibited significantly higher frequencies of CCR6\u207a cells and elevated expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-17 and IL-23 in \u03b3\u03b4 T cells, NKT-like cells, and regulatory T cells (Tregs). Plasma concentrations of IL-33, IL-23, TNF-\u03b1, and MCP-1 were also significantly increased in the delayed healing group (p\u202f<\u202f0.05). In contrast, patients with normal healing displayed higher proportions of Tregs expressing the anti-inflammatory cytokine TGF-\u03b2. These findings suggest that delayed healing in paediatric burn patients may be associated with a persistent systemic pro-inflammatory immune profile, marked by elevated CCR6 expression and IL-17/IL-23 axis activation. This unresolved inflammation could contribute to chronic immune dysregulation and may underlie the long-term comorbidities observed in this population. Targeting these inflammatory pathways may offer novel therapeutic strategies to improve wound healing outcomes in paediatric burns.",

This analysis assessed pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics and safety of tezepelumab up to 85\u2009days postdose in adolescents and children. The adolescent PK study (NCT02512900), in adolescents aged 12-17\u2009years with mild-to-moderate asthma, and TRAILHEAD (NCT04673630), in children aged 5-11\u2009years with mild, moderate or severe asthma, were both open-label, single-dose, Phase 1 studies. In the adolescent PK study, 21 adolescents (median age: 14\u2009years) received a single 140-mg subcutaneous tezepelumab dose. The mean maximum concentration (Cmax; 24.0 [SD: 6.6]\u00a0\u03bcg/mL) was observed at a median time of 6 (range: 1-20)\u00a0days postdose, with a mean terminal half-life of 25.3 (SD: 4.7)\u00a0days. The mean area under the concentration-time curve (AUC0-infinity) was 952 (SD: 289)\u00a0\u03bcg*day/mL. In TRAILHEAD, 18 children (median age: 8\u00a0years) received a single 70-mg subcutaneous tezepelumab dose. The Cmax (27.1\u00a0\u03bcg/mL [SD: 11.9]) was observed at a median time of 3.5 (range: 2-10)\u00a0days postdose, with a mean terminal half-life of 25.7 (SD: 5.9) days. The mean AUC0-infinity was 974 (SD: 320)\u00a0\u03bcg*day/mL. Changes from baseline in blood eosinophil count, fractional exhaled nitric oxide and serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) reflected expected pharmacodynamic effects of tezepelumab. No new safety signals were identified. These results were consistent with previous studies of tezepelumab in other groups, supporting development of tezepelumab for asthma in the paediatric population.",
"42410485": "ID: 42410485\nTitle: Therapeutic Potential of Group 2 Innate Lymphoid Cells in Neuroinflammatory Diseases.\nAbstract: Group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s) are tissue-resident immune cells that regulate type 2 immunity, neuroimmune communication, inflammation resolution and tissue repair. Although ILC2s are best characterized in peripheral barrier tissues, increasing evidence indicates that they also participate in central nervous system (CNS) immunity. In the healthy adult CNS, ILC2s are mainly located in border compartments such as the meninges and choroid plexus, while they are rare in brain parenchyma. After CNS injury, however, ILC2s can expand or infiltrate injured tissues and contribute to immune regulation, angiogenesis and neurorepair. This review summarizes peripheral ILC2 features most relevant to neuroinflammatory therapy, including neuropeptide responsiveness, reparative functions and maladaptive remodelling risks. We then discuss ILC2 distribution and function in the dura/meninges, choroid plexus and injured brain parenchyma. Recent studies reveal that CNS-associated ILC2s regulate microglia/macrophages through IL-4 and IL-13, recruit eosinophils through IL-5, promote post-stroke angiogenic initiation through \u03b1-CGRP, and support neural stem/progenitor cell-mediated repair through amphiregulin. We further discuss therapeutic opportunities and challenges, including targeted homing, stage-dependent repair effects, ILC2 plasticity and ex\u00a0vivo expansion for cell therapy. These findings position ILC2s as multifunctional neuroimmune effectors with potential therapeutic value in neuroinflammatory diseases.",

To investigate PASC pathogenesis and therapeutics in a chronic bronchitis mouse model (Scnn1b-Tg), Scnn1b-Tg and WT mice were inoculated with a mouse adapted SARS-CoV-2 virus (SARS-CoV-2MA10) and followed for 60 days. Viral titer, histology, immunohistochemistry (IHC), single-cell RNA sequencing, RNA in situ hybridization, and spatial transcriptomic profiling characterized disease pathologies. Scnn1b-Tg mice inoculated with SARS-CoV-2MA10 exhibited lower viral titers and less weight loss than WT mice. Airway epithelia of Scnn1b-Tg mice were less infected than epithelia of WT mice, reflecting increased airway mucus and enhanced epithelial antiviral activities in Scnn1b-Tg mice. However, Scnn1b-Tg mice subsequently exhibited heterogeneous airway and parenchymal disease with elevated Il33 expression characteristic of human eosinophilic pneumonia. Cohorts of infected mice were administered a monoclonal antibody targeting the IL-33 receptor (ST2) or enteral prednisone. Administration of an anti-ST2 monoclonal antibody mitigated development of eosinophilic pneumonia while enteral prednisone suppressed IL33 expression and disease. The eosinophilic pneumonia in Scnn1b-Tg mice after SARS-CoV-2MA10 infection mimics reports of eosinophilic pneumonia in humans post-SARS-CoV-2, suggesting targeting of IL-33 may be beneficial in treating post-viral eosinophilic pneumonia in humans.",

However, the precise pharmacodynamic basis and underlying molecular mechanisms are still not fully understood. To identify the efficacious component group (ECG) of BFF using a \"component capture-knockout\" approach and elucidate the mechanisms by which ECG attenuates airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion through the IL-33/RAGE/EGFR signaling axis. A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) profile of BFF was conducted, which resulted in the identification of thirteen marker compounds. Of these, seven anti-inflammatory constituents isolated by online preparative HPLC constituted the ECG. The potential therapeutic benefits of the ECG on COPD were evaluated in vivo and in vitro by measuring pulmonary function, assessing lung histopathology, quantifying cytokines and mucus markers, and analyzing the IL-33/RAGE/EGFR axis and its downstream signaling pathway (NF-\u03baB and p38 MAPK). In vitro screening confirmed that the seven compounds potently suppressed IL-1\u03b2, IL-6, and ICAM-1. The reconstituted ECG faithfully reproduced the anti-inflammatory activity of BFF and markedly reduced the expression of MUC5AC and MUC5B. In a COPD mouse model, BFF and ECG produced similar benefits, including improved pulmonary function, attenuated alveolar injury, and inflammatory cell infiltration. ECG treatment mechanistically downregulates IL-6, IL-1\u03b2, and TNF-\u03b1 levels, restoring surfactant protein D (SPD). Furthermore, ECG downregulates IL-33, RAGE, and EGFR, thereby blocking p38 MAPK and NF-\u03baB activation and suppressing mucin gene transcription. ECG improves COPD by inhibiting the IL-33/RAGE/EGFR signaling axis, thereby reducing airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion. These findings validate BFF's ethnopharmacological rationale and identify a multi-component therapeutic candidate for the clinical management of COPD.",

Here, using conditional deletion models, we identified the transcription factor BHLHE40 as a central regulator of group 3 innate lymphoid cell (ILC3)- and ROR\u03b3t\u207a antigen-presenting cell (APC)-dependent mucosal immunity. In ILC3s, BHLHE40 drove transcription of cytokine effector programs and maintenance of mucosal immunity. Cytokine TL1A stimulation and inflammation induced Bhlhe40 expression, amplifying these programs through epigenetic modulation of chromatin accessibility at effector loci. Bhlhe40 was also highly expressed in ROR\u03b3t\u207a APCs, where it was required for the generation of antigen-specific Tregs. In parallel, BHLHE40 integrated microbial cues to promote expression of the co-stimulatory molecule OX40L by ILC3s, further promoting antigen-specific Treg induction. Together, these findings define Bhlhe40 as a coordinated regulator of barrier immunity and support a model in which ILC3s and ROR\u03b3t\u207a APCs act in concert to shape antigen-specific intestinal immunity.",

Within the prospective TREATkids registry, we conducted an observational analysis of children and adolescents treated with Dupilumab in routine care. Baseline data from 200 and follow-up data from 124 patients were evaluated for clinician- and patient-/caregiver-reported outcomes, alongside with epidermal proteomic profiling using tape strips and the Olink\u00ae Explore Inflammation 384 (n=20) panel and 16S rRNA gene sequencing for skin microbiome assessment in subsets (n=48). At treatment initiation, disease burden was high (mean EASI 16.5; oSCORAD 44.9; peak itch PP-NRS 6.6). By month 3, EASI50/75/90 response rates were 87%, 60%, and 30%. Response rates at months 6 and 12 were generally consistent with those observed at month 3, with no discontinuations and conjunctivitis in 4.0%. Proteomic analyses demonstrated marked baseline upregulation of alarmins, Th2 chemokines, and tissue-remodeling markers in lesional skin, followed by downregulation of 144/161 dysregulated proteins at month 3, including CCL17/TARC, CXCL8, IL-6, IL-18, and MMPs.

As a mitochondrial gatekeeper, voltage-dependent anion channel 1 (VDAC1) mediates the elimination of damaged mitochondria through mitophagy. However, whether VDAC1 contributes to cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury and the underlying mechanisms remain unexplored. In this study, we demonstrated that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization reduced infarct volume and improved neurological function following cerebral I/R. We further confirmed that inhibiting VDAC1 oligomerization promoted mitophagy, thereby exerting neuroprotective effects. Additionally, VDAC1 knockdown restored mitochondrial membrane potential and decreased mitochondrial reactive oxygen species generation, thereby alleviating mitochondria damage in neurons subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation /reoxygenation (OGD/R). Mechanistically, we identified the interaction between VDAC1 oligomers and Lon protease 1 (LONP1) as a critical regulator of mitophagy during cerebral I/R injury. Taken together, our findings provide novel insights into the regulation of mitophagy in cerebral I/R injury and suggest that VDAC1 represents a promising therapeutic target for ischemic stroke.",

This review presents an analysis of the current status of in vitro diagnostics in respiratory allergy to plants and molds, with emphasis on molecular diagnostics for key allergens from trees (e.g., birch/Betula verrucosa), grasses (Poaceae family), weeds (e.g.mugwort/Artemisia vulgaris, ragweed/Ambrosia artemisiifolia), and molds (e.g. Alternaria, Aspergillus).

"42416077": "ID: 42416077\nTitle: Innate immune circuits in acute lung injury: macrophage plasticity, ILC crosstalk, and tissue repair failure.\nAbstract: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are traditionally understood as hyperinflammatory syndromes characterized by cytokine excess, neutrophil infiltration, and disruption of the alveolar-capillary barrier. However, this framework does not fully explain why some injured lungs undergo effective resolution whereas others progress toward persistent inflammation, defective epithelial regeneration, and long-term pulmonary dysfunction. Increasing evidence suggests that ALI is better conceptualized as a disorder of dysregulated tissue-centered innate immune circuits rather than a simple consequence of uncontrolled inflammation. Among the key cellular regulators of these circuits, macrophages and innate lymphoid cells (ILCs), especially ILC2s, play central and complementary roles. Macrophages function as early sentinels, inflammatory amplifiers, efferocytic cleaners, and reparative coordinators, with their impact determined by lineage origin, temporal state transitions, and niche-dependent plasticity. ILCs, in parallel, translate epithelial alarm signals into tissue-adaptive responses and contribute to barrier protection, homeostatic restoration, and modulation of macrophage function. Importantly, macrophages, ILCs, and epithelial cells form an interdependent communication network that governs the balance between inflammatory escalation and successful repair. When this network becomes disrupted, the injured lung shifts from coordinated recovery to failed repair. In this review, we discuss macrophage heterogeneity and plasticity in ALI, epithelial-macrophage and macrophage-ILC crosstalk, mechanisms of inflammatory resolution and repair failure, and emerging therapeutic opportunities aimed at restoring innate immune circuit competence in the injured lung.",

Mitochondria have emerged not only as central hubs of cellular metabolism but also as active modulators of immunity and inflammation. Mitochondrial proteases are essential regulators of mitochondrial protein quality control, dynamics, and stress responses. By selectively degrading misfolded or damaged proteins, they maintain mitochondrial function and bioenergetic capacity. Beyond housekeeping roles, mitochondrial proteases also influence immune signaling by modulating mitochondrial stress pathways, reactive oxygen species production, and the release of mitochondrial-derived danger signals. Dysregulation of these proteases has been linked to chronic inflammation and contributes to the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases. This review summarizes current knowledge on the role of mitochondrial proteases CLPXP, LONP1, i-AAA, m-AAA, as well as processing peptidase OMA1, in immune cells and inflammatory pathologies. We explore the molecular mechanisms by which these mitochondrial proteases regulate immune signaling, integrating the results from immune cells as well as other non-immune cell types, including those involved in cancer, neurodegeneration, renal injury, and other inflammatory pathologies. We explore mitochondrial proteases function as context-dependent regulators of immunometabolic signaling, with effects shaped by cell type, metabolic state, and stress conditions. Finally, we discuss emerging small molecules and drugs targeting mitochondrial proteases to highlight their potential therapeutic role in modulating inflammation. By situating mitochondrial proteases at the crossroads of immunometabolism and therapeutic intervention, this review underscores their untapped potential in the development of innovative anti-inflammatory strategies.",

We aimed to identify early clinical characteristics of HDM-induced allergic rhinitis (AR-HDM) in preschoolers and to determine predictors of CRS persistence. We conducted a 5-year prospective follow-up of a well-defined multi-omics cohort of 133 children aged 4-8\u2009years with CRS symptoms, with or without IgE-mediated sensitization to HDM. We developed a multivariate logistic regression model with clinical and multi-omics variables assessed at preschool age to predict CRS persistence and AR-HDM diagnosis at school age. Among 117 children who completed the 5-year follow-up, CRS persisted in 35%. Higher baseline SN-5 (Sinus and Nasal Quality of Life Survey) scores (>3.6 points) significantly increased the risk of persistent CRS (OR\u2009=\u20093.41; 95% CI: 1.50-7.76; p\u2009=\u2009.003). ILC-2 cells were detected more frequently in nasal samples from preschool children with persistent CRS. Independent predictors of AR-HDM included a history of food allergy in infancy (OR\u2009=\u20093.87; 1.10-13.60; 0.034) and prominent allergic symptoms at baseline (allergy-related SN-5 domain ratio \u226521%), (OR\u2009=\u20093.96; 1.20-13.10; 0.025). The combined presence of these factors additionally improves the prediction of AR-HDM. Higher SN-5 score and presence of ILC-2 in the nasal mucosa increase the risk of persistence of CRS. The co-occurrence of a relatively higher allergy domain of SN-5 score and a history of food allergy facilitates prediction of HDM allergy in preschoolers, enabling the timely initiation of allergen immunotherapy in allergic children.

However, their growing use necessitates careful evaluation of safety profiles and long-term risks. This review examines the mechanisms of action, safety considerations, and clinical implications of emerging monoclonal antibody and small-molecule therapies used in allergic and immunologic diseases. Monoclonal antibodies targeting IgE, IL-5/IL-5R\u03b1, IL-4R\u03b1, IL-13, TSLP, and IL-31 demonstrate efficacy across a range of atopic conditions, including asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic urticaria. They are generally well tolerated, though associated with adverse events such as anaphylaxis, conjunctivitis, eosinophilia, and herpes virus reactivation. Small-molecule therapies, including Janus kinase (JAK), Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), and phosphodiesterase-4 (PDE4) inhibitors, expand treatment options by targeting intracellular signaling pathways and offering broader immunomodulatory effects. Among these, JAK inhibitors carry boxed warnings for major adverse cardiovascular events, thromboembolism, malignancy, and viral reactivation. Second-generation BTK inhibitors and PDE4 inhibitors demonstrate comparatively favorable safety profiles, though tolerability could remain an issue for PDE4 inhibitors. Despite promising short-term safety and efficacy, long-term risks still pose a question given limited longitudinal data. The increasing complexity of therapeutic selection, underscores the need for shared decision-making and long term surveillance to ensure successful therapeutic outcomes while prioritizing patient safety.",

In recent years, monoclonal antibodies targeting the interleukin-5 (IL-5) pathway have emerged as effective glucocorticoid-sparing therapies in relapsing or glucocorticoid-dependent chronic eosinophilic pneumonia. Alongside these advances, a substantial proportion of patients develops progressive fibrotic changes over time, challenging the traditional view of chronic eosinophilic pneumonia as a fully reversible condition. This narrative review summarises current clinical evidence on the use of anti-IL-5/IL-5 receptor subunit \u03b1 biologicals in chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, examines the emerging phenotype of fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia, and discusses the mechanistic links between eosinophilic inflammation and pulmonary fibrosis. We also review experimental and clinical data implicating eosinophils, type 2 cytokines, epithelial alarmins and extracellular traps in fibroblast activation and extracellular matrix deposition, providing a biological rationale for a continuum from inflammation to irreversible lung remodelling. Available data on the use of IL-5-targeted therapies in fibrotic disease are limited, and no prospective studies have specifically addressed this patient population. Conversely, antifibrotic agents such as nintedanib have demonstrated efficacy in progressive fibrosing interstitial lung diseases but have been rarely studied in eosinophilic lung disorders. We propose a phenotype-adapted therapeutic framework in which sustained control of eosinophilic inflammation aims to prevent fibrotic progression in early disease, while antifibrotic therapy may be considered in patients with established or progressive fibrosis. Fibrotic chronic eosinophilic pneumonia thus represents a clinical entity at the crossroads between inflammation and fibrosis, requiring individualised management strategies and dedicated future studies.",

Although a high frequency of CF SA isolates can produce SA-SAgs, their role in the immunopathogenesis of CF lung disease is unexplored. Therefore, to investigate the role of SA-SAgs in pulmonary inflammation in vivo, we crossed HLA-DR3 transgenic mice with CF gut corrected (HLA-DR3.CFGC) mice and \u03b2ENaC transgenic (HLA-DR3.ENAC) mice expressing the epithelial Na+ channel \u03b2 subunit, driven by the Clara cell secretory protein promoter, both accepted mouse models of CF. Intratracheal challenge with purified SA-SAgs (staphylococcal enterotoxin A, B, or C) induced a more robust pulmonary inflammatory response in HLA-DR3.ENAC transgenic mice compared with HLA-DR3.CFGC and B6.ENAC mice in a SA-SAg type- and concentration-dependent manner. Lower concentration of SA-SAg favored eosinophilic lung inflammatory response, whereas higher concentration elicited a neutrophilic lung inflammation and higher mortality in the short-term exposure model. Intratracheal infection with a sublethal inoculum of a clinical SA isolate producing staphylococcal enterotoxin B (SEB), but not the isogenic mutant strain lacking SEB, also induced a type 2 eosinophilic lung inflammatory response. In addition, intratracheal exposure to SA-SAgs or infection with the SA-producing SEB resulted in the airway/lung recruitment of atypical granulocytes expressing both Siglec F+ and Ly6G+ (SigF+Ly6G+), which are expressed by eosinophils and neutrophils, respectively. In conclusion, we demonstrated for the first time that SA-SAgs could drive pulmonary inflammation in CF.",

Candida albicans is involved in 85-95% of all VVC cases and given the stronger correlation between the severity of epithelial cytokine responses, rather than fungal burden, with VVC symptoms, this disease is fundamentally immunopathological. VVC is believed to be initiated by a cascade of events that leads to vaginal epithelial cell (VEC) damage. These cells act as immune sentinels and can detect fungal morphotypes as well as virulence factors through diverse pattern recognition receptors, such as TLRs, C-type lectin receptors, and nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptors. Recognition of C. albicans can trigger complex intracellular signalling cascades in VECs that involve NF-\u03baB, MAPK, and activator protein-1, which culminate in robust production of proinflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and alarmins. The hypha-specific peptide toxin, candidalysin can also initiate VEC membrane damage, which leads to nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat family and pyrin domain-containing protein 3 inflammasome assembly in the VECs. The resulting inflammatory events lead to robust recruitment of neutrophils, which, although they fail to effectively clear the fungus, add to even more tissue damage, contributing to the severity of VVC symptoms. This review synthesises the molecular- and cellular-based evidence to clarify the role of VEC-related immune activation in the development of VVC and to provide a new understanding that VVC signs and symptoms are predominantly immune-related.",

Beyond its established roles in mitochondrial transcription, mtDNA packaging, nucleoid organization, replication support, and copy number control, TFAM is increasingly recognized as a potential regulator of aging-related mitochondrial stress responses. Because mtDNA instability, respiratory dysfunction, reactive oxygen species imbalance, impaired autophagy, cellular senescence, and chronic inflammation are closely interconnected during aging, TFAM may occupy a proximal position linking mitochondrial genome homeostasis to broader aging biology. However, TFAM should not be viewed as a uniformly protective factor. Its effects appear to depend on TFAM abundance, TFAM-to-mtDNA stoichiometry, tissue type, metabolic state, mitochondrial import, LONP1-mediated turnover, and mitochondrial quality-control capacity. TFAM deficiency may compromise mtDNA maintenance, impair oxidative phosphorylation, increase mitochondrial ROS production, and promote mtDNA-driven innate immune activation. Conversely, excessive or dysregulated TFAM accumulation may lead to mtDNA hypercompaction, reduce mtDNA accessibility, and potentially produce maladaptive effects in specific disease contexts. In this review, we discuss the structural basis of TFAM-mtDNA interaction, the role of TFAM in mtDNA transcription, copy number control, genome protection, damage handling, inflammatory signaling, cellular senescence, systemic aging, and age-related diseases. We also highlight therapeutic opportunities, limitations, and unresolved questions, emphasizing that future strategies should aim to restore TFAM homeostasis rather than simply increase TFAM expression.",
"42421939": "ID: 42421939\nTitle: New-onset allergic diseases after SARS-CoV-2 infection: mechanistic hypotheses and emerging strategies for risk stratification.\nAbstract: Multinational cohort studies consistently associate SARS-CoV-2 infection with elevated incidence of allergic diseases, with hazard ratios of 2.25 for asthma and 1.23 for allergic rhinitis persisting beyond six months post-infection; whether this excess risk reflects de novo allergic sensitization or preferential unmasking of pre-existing subclinical atopy remains to be established. Yet mechanisms bridging acute viral illness to delayed allergic phenotypes remain incompletely understood. This review synthesizes recent advances across epithelial biology, immunology, and neuroimmune interactions to propose a unified mechanistic framework organized around three interconnected axes. First, epithelial injury during COVID-19 triggers passive IL-33 release while inducing active TSLP and IL-25 production. These alarmins act through mechanistically distinct pathways to converge on type 2 immune priming, which is established and reinforced by epigenetic memory in group 2 innate lymphoid cells and dendritic cells. Second, regulatory T cell depletion and, hypothetically, hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell epigenetic reprogramming driven by acute interleukin-6 elevation may generate immune cell progeny with persistently altered inflammatory responsiveness, while dendritic cells adopt Th2-polarizing phenotypes that lower the threshold for allergic sensitization; the direct contribution of hematopoietic reprogramming to Th2-skewed allergic outcomes remains to be demonstrated. Third, mast cells undergo direct spike protein-mediated activation via angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptors, and alarmin-primed mast cells establish bidirectional crosstalk with sensory neurons that amplifies neuroinflammation and links long COVID symptoms to heightened allergic susceptibility. Together, these axes define a post-infectious vulnerability window during which allergen encounters trigger exaggerated type 2 responses. Risk stratification incorporating disease severity, circulating biomarkers including immunoglobulin E and eosinophil counts, and genetic susceptibility variants may identify individuals requiring targeted surveillance, while mechanistically informed interventions such as low-dose interleukin-2, mast cell stabilizers, and alarmin-targeted biologics warrant prospective evaluation in convalescent cohorts.",

CRS and asthma associated with fungal sensitization also tend to be more severe compared with other endotypes. Alternaria and Aspergillus species have specifically been recognized as the primary fungal allergens that stimulate a robust innate immune response, potentially leading to allergic sensitization and type 2 inflammation. Other fungi, such as Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Candida, are also associated with airway inflammatory disease. Fungal proteases disrupt airway mucosal barriers and activate protease-activated receptors (PARs), leading to a release of alarmin cytokines, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), that drive innate type 2 inflammatory responses. Recent studies have also shown that protease allergens can cleave the protease-sensing domain of IL-33, generating a more active form. Alarmins activate innate immune cells including group 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), dendritic cells, mast cells, and eosinophils which contribute to epithelial mucus production, airway hyperresponsiveness, and tissue remodeling. This review aims to detail mechanisms of fungal allergen-induced airway inflammation and identify gaps in understanding and therapeutic opportunities.",

However, current methods of hydrogen administration present various problems. Therefore, new methods that allow for the safe and sustained delivery of high doses of hydrogen are needed. Si-based agents offer a promising solution because they can easily and continuously generate large amounts of hydrogen in the digestive tract. Asthma is characterized by chronic airway inflammation, and allergic bronchial asthma-its most readily recognized phenotype-is suspected to be related to oxidative stress. We investigated the effects of Si-based agents on allergic bronchial asthma. Allergic bronchial asthma was induced in female C57BL/6N mice by epicutaneous sensitization and inhalation challenge with ovalbumin. Bronchial asthma was assessed by cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and lung histopathological analysis. mRNA expression levels of cytokines and chemokine in lung tissue and total IgE concentration in serum were measured. The administration in the diet of this Si-based agent to a model mouse of allergic bronchial asthma significantly suppressed eosinophil counts in the BALF and reduced inflammatory cell infiltration in the lungs. In addition, the expressions of interleukins 5, and 13 and C-C motif chemokine 11 in lung tissue tended to decreased in the Si group compared with those in the control group. We examined the timing of administration of Si-based agents and found that Si-based agents worked during the sensitization and elicitation phases and tended to decrease the total IgE concentration in serum. Si-based agents are effective against allergic bronchial asthma and may serve as superior materials for hydrogen therapy. We anticipate that our study will provide valuable insights into the mechanisms of Si-based agents against type I allergy and facilitate their clinical application in the future.",
"42425951": "ID: 42425951\nTitle: Multifunctional-engineered NK cells overcome tumor immunosuppression by combining PD-L1 and HLA-E targeting and endogenous IL15 production.\nAbstract: The immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) poses a significant challenge to effective cancer immunotherapy, as it enables tumor escape through redundant checkpoint pathways, metabolic constraints, and direct inhibition of effector cells. To overcome these barriers, we developed a next-generation NK cell platform using a tri-cistronic retroviral vector that enhances NK cell activation, recruitment, survival, and metabolic fitness. Pan-cancer transcriptomic analyses reveal consistent co-expression of PD-L1 and HLA-E across tumors, which correlates with immune infiltration accompanied by strong immunosuppression, highlighting these molecules as key targets for immune evasion. To improve NK cell recruitment, activation, cytolytic function, survival, and metabolic fitness in the TME, we developed a next-generation NK cell platform using a tri-cistronic retroviral vector that encodes an extracellular PD-1 domain (exPD1) fused to the intracellular portion of NKG2D with the costimulatory molecule 4-1BB, and expressing soluble IL15 and NKG2A single-chain variable fragments (scFv). Thus, the exPD1 allows the recognition of cells expressing PD-L1, while the intracellular costimulatory signaling transforms the inhibitory interaction PD-1/PD-L1 into an activating one. This strategy effectively targets PD-L1-positive tumor cells and induces de novo PD-L1 expression in otherwise negative tumors. To further enhance anti-tumor activity, we incorporated a module encoding soluble NKG2A-scFv to mask the NKG2A receptor on NK cells and hinder NKG2A/HLA-E inhibitory interaction. Additionally, we improved NK cell survival and expansion by delivering controlled low doses of IL15, which prevents NK cell exhaustion and extends their presence in vivo. This integrated strategy may provide a novel, ready-to-use allogenic mature NK cell therapy that could overcome checkpoint-mediated inhibition, metabolic suppression, and immune escape, offering a promising model for treating high-risk and treatment-resistant tumors.",

It is associated with ongoing inflammation and an impaired immune system. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) and cytokines play key roles in regulating inflammation and joint tissue homeostasis in osteoarthritis. This study aims to assess the expression of circular RNAs (circular RNA-0003972 and circular RNA-PTPN22) and cytokines (IL-33, IL-36, IL-38, IL-40) in postmenopausal women with osteoarthritis compared with healthy controls, as potential new biomarkers for osteoarthritis. This study has a case-control design. Blood samples from 150 postmenopausal women (75 with newly diagnosed osteoarthritis and 75 healthy control subjects) were analyzed. Circular RNA 0003972, circular RNA-PTPN22, IL-33, IL-36, IL-38, and IL-40 were detected in peripheral blood from both groups using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), followed by bioinformatic analysis. The levels of circular RNA 0003972 (p < 0.0001), circular RNA-PTPN22 (p < 0.001), and IL-40 (p < 0.0001) were significantly higher in the osteoarthritis group, while IL-38 was produced at lower levels in this group (p < 0.0001). Further, there was no significant difference in the expression of IL-33 and IL-36 between the cohorts. Of particular interest was the positive association between circular RNA-PTPN22 and IL-40 (r = 0.4, p < 0.001), suggesting a potential role in modulating the immune response. Our investigation found that patients with osteoarthritis had altered expression of specific circRNAs and cytokines (circular RNA 0003972, circular RNA-PTPN22, IL-38, and IL-40), which may serve as potential biomarkers and therapeutic targets, particularly in postmenopausal women. However, longitudinal investigations are required to determine whether these molecules can serve as effective biomarkers for diagnosis, prediction, and therapy monitoring.",
"42430077": "ID: 42430077\nTitle: Targeting IL-33 in Precision Neuroimmunology: Cellular Mechanisms and Therapeutic Strategies for CNS Disorders.\nAbstract: Interleukin-33 (IL-33), an alarmin cytokine of the IL-1 family, has emerged as a pivotal regulator of neuroimmune interactions in the central nervous system (CNS). Acting through its receptor ST2, IL-33 orchestrates diverse immune responses by modulating microglial polarization, shaping T cell differentiation, activating type 2 innate lymphoid cells (ILC2s), and engaging mast cell-macrophage regulatory circuits. Across distinct neurological disorders, including epilepsy, stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson's disease (PD), Alzheimer's disease (AD), multiple sclerosis (MS), cerebral malaria, and glioma, IL-33 exerts both protective and pathogenic effects in a context-dependent manner. In epilepsy, IL-33 modulates neuroinflammation and neuronal excitability; in stroke, it attenuates acute neurovascular injury while influencing post-stroke remodeling; in AD, it enhances amyloid-\u03b2 clearance and mitigates chronic neuroinflammation; in MS, it regulates autoimmune demyelination via T cell and innate immune pathways. These shared yet disease-specific mechanisms underscore IL-33's central role in neuroimmune homeostasis and its potential as a precision therapeutic target. Future research integrating multi-disease models, temporal disease staging, and single-cell multi-omics will be essential to define the conditions under which IL-33 modulation yields maximal therapeutic benefit.",
"42431178": "ID: 42431178\nTitle: Peripheral blood eosinophils as an adjunctive biomarker for eosinophilic otitis media: Supporting the validity of current diagnostic criteria.\nAbstract: Eosinophilic otitis media (EOM) is recognized as a type 2 inflammatory airway disease closely associated with bronchial asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). Although peripheral blood eosinophils are established biomarkers of type 2 inflammation, their clinical significance in EOM remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility of peripheral blood eosinophil counts in EOM in relation to current diagnostic criteria. This retrospective study included 64 patients with EOM and 69 patients with chronic perforated otitis media (COM) who underwent tympanoplasty as controls. Peripheral blood eosinophil counts at the initial visit were compared between the groups. The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing EOM was determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. In addition, associations between eosinophil counts and clinical features were analyzed in the EOM group. The mean eosinophil percentage and absolute count were significantly higher in the EOM group than in the COM group (8.6% vs. 2.6% and 543/\u03bcL vs. 140/\u03bcL, respectively; P\u00a0<\u00a00.001). The optimal cut-off value for diagnosing EOM was >\u00a0249/\u03bcL (sensitivity: 85.7%, specificity: 79.2%, odds ratio: 22.9). In patients with EOM, higher eosinophil counts were significantly associated with perennial allergen-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) positivity and the presence of nasal polyposis. However, eosinophil counts were not significantly correlated with middle ear findings, disease severity, or imaging scores. Peripheral blood eosinophil counts >\u00a0249/\u03bcL may serve as an adjunctive biomarker to current diagnostic criteria for EOM. These levels do not appear to reflect local disease activity but rather indicate underlying systemic type 2 inflammation. The findings support the validity of current diagnostic criteria that incorporate comorbid type 2 inflammatory diseases, such as bronchial asthma and CRSwNP.",
"42432270": "ID: 42432270\nTitle: The Dual Roles of Innate Lymphoid Cells in Antibacterial Defense and Bacterial Immune Evasion.\nAbstract: Innate lymphoid cells (ILCs) are critical regulators of early immune responses at mucosal barriers. As sentinels of the innate immune system, they rapidly detect infection-induced signals and initiate tissue-protective programs prior to the full activation of adaptive immunity. Emerging evidence shows that bacteria activate ILCs through multiple mechanisms, including direct recognition via pattern recognition receptors (PRRs), cytokine-mediated interactions with myeloid and epithelial cells, and metabolic and transcriptional modulation. Once activated, distinct ILC subsets coordinate antibacterial defense through cytotoxic activity and cytokine-driven regulation of macrophages, neutrophils, and epithelial cells. Notably, these pathways can be subverted by both pathogenic and commensal bacteria to manipulate ILC responses, enabling immune evasion and persistence, yet how bacterial signals are integrated and dynamically regulated by ILCs across tissues and disease contexts remains incompletely understood. Here, we synthesize recent progress in elucidating the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying bacteria-ILC crosstalk, highlight emerging concepts and unresolved questions, and discuss how context-dependent ILC responses contribute to either host protection or disease progression. By integrating findings across infection models and mucosal environments, we propose a unifying framework for ILC-mediated antibacterial immunity and its dysregulation and highlight the therapeutic potential of targeting ILC-associated pathways as promising strategies for chronic and persistent bacterial infections.",
"42433066": "ID: 42433066\nTitle: Benralizumab is effective in severe asthma with CRS, regardless of demographic and clinical basal outcomes.\nAbstract: Severe eosinophilic asthma (SEA) frequently coexists with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS), with or without nasal polyps (CRSwNP/CRSsNP), exacerbating disease burden. The Sino-Nasal Outcomes Test (SNOT-22) assesses quality of life in CRS patients, but the impact of benralizumab on nasal symptoms remains controversial. This retrospective multicenter study analyzed SNOT-22 changes after 12 months of benralizumab treatment in SEA patients with comorbid CRS from the AUTOBENRA study, including data from nine Spanish hospitals. Among 121 screened SEA patients, 72 (59.5%) had CRS, with 31 providing complete SNOT-22 data pre- and posttreatment. Subjects were predominantly female (74.2%), with a mean age of 56.4 \u00b1 13.8 years. Most (85%) had CRSwNP, 71% reported anosmia, and 67.6% had undergone functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) (mean: 2.3 \u00b1 1.7 surgeries). The baseline SNOT-22 score averaged 55.7 \u00b1 24.6 points. After 12 months, 21 (67.7%) achieved a minimal clinically important difference (MCID; \u226512 points). Notably, anosmic subjects were more likely to achieve the MCID (82% vs 33%; P = 0.005). No significant correlations emerged between SNOT-22 improvement and demographic, clinical, or biomarker profiles.These findings suggest that benralizumab significantly improves quality of life in SEA patients with CRS, particularly those with anosmia, regardless of baseline characteristics or biomarker levels.",
"42433370": "ID: 42433370\nTitle: Synergistic TCR-independent action of IL-33 and IL-12 drive a potent IFN\u03b3 secretory program in human circulating MAIT cells with immunomodulatory properties.\nAbstract: Mucosal-Associated Invariant T (MAIT) cells are a subset of unconventional T cells that rapidly respond to early signs of inflammation, infection, and tissue damage. While MAIT cells have been typically associated with microbial infections, given their ability to respond to both microbial-derived riboflavin metabolites and proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-12, IL-15, or IL-18, their role in other inflammatory conditions remains mostly unknown. Alarmins, including IL-25, IL-33, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), are crucial effectors for early inflammatory responses, being released upon epithelial damage and strongly promoting the polarization of a wide variety of immune cells, including leukocytes like neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages, dendritic cells (DCs), NK cells, ILCs and T cells. However, how alarmins-induced environments influence MAIT cells' activity and function is yet to be explored. In this study, we investigate the roles of alarmins in controlling MAIT cell activation and function. We found that IL-33, but not IL-25 or TSLP, combined with the TCR-independent stimuli IL-12p70 (but not 5-OP-RU), induces a potent IFN\u03b3 secretory/cytotoxic program on MAIT cells. This response was strongly dependent on p38 MAPK signaling and glycolytic metabolism. Beyond IFN\u03b3, IL-33/IL-12p70-activated MAIT cells secrete a diverse panel of immune mediators, including TNF, VEGF, OSM, CXCL11, and CCL3. Notably, conditioned media from purified V\u03b17.2+ T cells (enriched on MAIT cells) were able to polarize CD14+ monocytes towards a M1-like inflammatory phenotype, increasing both the expression of proinflammatory genes and phagocytic capacity. These findings reveal a broader immunomodulatory potential for MAIT cells to influence diverse immune compartments during inflammatory response.",

Pulmonary macrophages are key mediators of these responses, and their polarization contributes to Th2/Th17-associated asthma pathology. Ecklonia cava ethanol extract (ECE), an edible brown alga, has anti-inflammatory potential. This study investigated whether ECE attenuates PM-exacerbated allergic airway inflammation by regulating oxidative stress, pulmonary macrophage polarization, and macrophage extracellular trap (MET) formation. MLE-12 lung epithelial cells and a PM-exacerbated allergic asthma mouse model were used to evaluate the protective effects of ECE. PM-induced oxidative stress and NF-\u03baB activation were assessed in MLE-12 cells. In vivo, airway hyperresponsiveness, inflammatory cell infiltration, epithelial injury, mast cell activation, Th2/Th17 cytokine responses, oxidative stress in pulmonary macrophage, macrophage polarization, and MET formation were analyzed. A PAD4 inhibition model was used to evaluate CitH3-associated macrophage responses. ECE suppressed PM-induced ROS production, MDA accumulation, p-I\u03baB\u03b1 expression, and NF-\u03baB reporter activity in MLE-12 cells, with NAC supporting the involvement of oxidative stress. In PM-exacerbated allergic asthma mice, ECE reduced airway hyperresponsiveness, BALF inflammatory cells and protein levels, histopathological injury, mast cell degranulation, serum histamine, and Th2/Th17-associated cytokines. ECE also attenuated oxidative stress in pulmonary macrophage, reduced M1-associated markers, including CD80, Nos2, and iNOS, and suppressed M2-associated markers, including CD206, Arg1, and p-STAT6. Moreover, ECE decreased MET-related markers, including MPO, histone H3, MPO/CitH3, and F4/80/CitH3-positive macrophages. PAD4 inhibition further supported the involvement of CitH3-associated MET responses. ECE mitigates PM-exacerbated allergic airway inflammation by suppressing epithelial oxidative stress and NF-\u03baB activation, in association with attenuated pulmonary macrophage polarization and MET formation. These findings suggest that ECE protects against PM-aggravated allergic asthma through coordinated regulation of oxidative stress and macrophage-mediated inflammatory responses.",

Although normally absent from the distal lung, ectopic tuft cells form after severe lung injury including influenza infection in mice. Here, we investigated the function of these ectopic tuft cells in shaping innate immunity following influenza injury. We observed that IFN\u03b3 deficiency was associated with an increase in tuft cell and ILC2 expansion, whereas ILC2 deficiency was associated with reduced tuft cell expansion, consistent with a reciprocal regulatory axis. Tuft cell-deficient mice exhibited expansion of ILC1s and ILC3s after influenza injury resolution. Single-cell RNA-seq of influenza infected whole lung revealed transcriptional signatures consistent with type 1 pathway activation and oxidative stress in the tuft cell-deficient mice. Following influenza injury and subsequent Alternaria alternata challenge, tuft cell-deficient mice also showed neutrophilic and ILC3 expansion. Together, these data are consistent with the presence of a distal-airway tuft-cell-ILC2 circuit that may help shape inflammatory responses to viral injury and aeroallergens.",

Despite the availability of various therapeutic options, treatment efficacy remains suboptimal for certain patients, and long-term use may be accompanied by adverse effects. This study examined the role of transient receptor potential melastatin 2 (TRPM2) in AR-like inflammation, focusing on its associations with T cell functionality, Th2 inflammatory responses, Treg/Th17 balance, and upstream Ca2+-NFAT signaling pathways. Using TRPM2 knockout and WT mice within an ovalbumin-induced AR model, this research integrated behavioral assessments, histopathological analyses, immunological assays, qPCR, and Western blotting to evaluate the implications of TRPM2 deficiency for clinical symptoms, inflammatory responses, immune cell differentiation, and related signaling pathways. TRPM2 knockout mice exhibited reduced clinical symptoms and nasal inflammation, lower serum OVA-specific IgE levels, and reduced expression of key inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-5, and IL-33. Furthermore, TRPM2 deficiency was associated with expansion of Treg cells, reduced Ca2+ influx, decreased NFATc1 nuclear translocation, and lower IL-2 production. Although IL-17 expression was reduced, the decrease in Th17 cell frequency did not reach statistical significance. These findings suggest that TRPM2 participates in OVA-induced AR-like inflammation through immune and Ca2+-NFAT-associated mechanisms, while the mechanistic and translational implications require cautious interpretation.",

However, the underlying mechanism through which acupuncture influences asthma has not yet been elucidated. OVA-induced asthma in NLRP3\u2012/\u2012 and wild-type C57BL mice, and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) induced inflammation in 16HBE cell were established in vivo and in vitro. H&E, Masson, and Sirius staining, along with ELISA kits, Western Blot, PCR, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), immunohistochemistry, and immunofluorescence techniques were employed to assess the miR-223/NLRP3-mediated pyroptosis pathway in mitigating asthma-induced inflammation. In vitro, acupuncture treatment alleviated airway inflammation in asthmatic mice, upregulated miR-223 expression, inhibited the genes and proteins expression level in NLRP3 pathway, such as NLRP3, GSDMD, ASC, and Caspase-1, it also lowered the presence of cytokines tied to T cells. Activation of the NLRP3 pathway seemed to make asthma symptoms worse, whereas acupuncture treatment effectively alleviated the inflammation by modulating the miR-223/NLRP3 pathway. In vivo, after upregulating or downregulating miR-223 expression in an LPS-induced cell inflammation model, the expression levels of the NLRP3 pathway changed significantly. The dual-luciferase assay revealed the specific interaction of miR-223 to the NLRP3 gene, thereby suppressing its transcription. miR-223-3p can bind to NLRP3 and suppresses the expression of NLRP3 gene. Acupuncture treatment can activate miR-223/NLRP3-related pyroptosis pathway to regulate T-lymphocyte immunity and effectively reduce airway inflammation in asthmatic mice.",

Several pivotal studies demonstrating tezepelumab effectiveness and leading to regulatory and marketing authorization have since been complemented by further evidence, most notably from the following studies: (a) for severe uncontrolled asthma, the PASSAGE phase 4 clinical trial, conducted in a routine clinical practice setting, found that tezepelumab significantly reduced exacerbations, including in underrepresented populations (African-Americans, adolescents, smokers, individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and improved lung function, disease control, and quality of life. (b) For corticosteroid-dependent asthma, the WAYFINDER phase 3b clinical trial reported tezepelumab's effectiveness in reducing both dependency and the number of exacerbations as well as clinical remission in around a quarter of patients. (c) For chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, the WAYPOINT phase 3 clinical trial found that tezepelumab, after therapeutic optimization, decreased nasal polyp size and nasal congestion, improved clinical impact and sense of smell, and reduced the need for surgery. (d) For moderate-to-very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, the COURSE phase 2a clinical trial reported a non-significant reduction in exacerbations, but also that reductions were greater for the type 2 phenotype (eosinophils \u2265150\u00a0cells/\u03bcL).

"42439685": "ID: 42439685\nTitle: Mechanisms of Eosinophil Degranulation.\nAbstract: Eosinophils are highly granulated white blood and tissue cells that play complex roles in the immune system including host protection against helminthic parasites, viruses, fungi, and bacteria. These bone marrow-derived cells cause tissue damage in a range of diseases and disorders, particularly in allergy, asthma, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Eosinophils are recruited to tissues in response to chemotactic signals, and during inflammation, they release a plethora of mediators, including immunoregulatory cytokines, through multiple pathways involving degranulation, respiratory burst, lipid mediator release, exosome release, and extracellular trap formation. Degranulation from eosinophils has been implicated as a major effector mechanism in airway diseases, particularly late phase asthma responses and in nasal polyps from patients with chronic rhinosinusitis. In degranulation responses, eosinophils release numerous granule proteins by classical exocytosis, compound exocytosis, piecemeal degranulation, and cytolysis, which refers to cell lysis through membrane rupture and cell destruction. Cytolysis can lead to suicidal extracellular trap formation, which is a regulated form of cell death involving the release of extracellular DNA traps and granule proteins. Granule release from eosinophils is dependent on activation of specific and tightly regulated intracellular signaling pathways, including Rac and Rab guanosine triphosphatases, soluble NSF attachment protein (SNAP) receptors (SNAREs), Cdk5 kinase, and actin dynamics. These observations have shown selective and nonredundant roles for signaling in degranulation responses. In this review, we explore findings from the literature on the mechanisms controlling granule-derived mediator release from eosinophils.",

Here we show that environmental allergens from Alternaria alternata and polyethyleneimine (PEI) nanoparticles induce oxidative stress, triggering rapid release of double-stranded DNA fragments enriched for repetitive elements (SINEs, LINEs, and LTRs), centromeric sequences and late-replicating, origin-poor fragile site containing genes. Nanopore sequencing along with a multi-omics approach were employed to analyze fragments of extracellular DNA (eDNA) in human and mouse airway epithelial cells and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from mice. We show that eDNA release following Alternaria or PEI exposure produces similar genomic sequence profiles suggesting that a mechanism exists to selectively export these fragments out of the nucleus and into the airway lumen. However, epigenomic modifications localized around transcriptionally active regions differed between Alternaria and PEI exposures, with potentially lasting implications for gene expression and function in airway epithelia. We propose that export of DNA fragments is selective to reduce repetitive DNA fragment accumulation and secondary structure formation in the nucleus, thus ensuring airway epithelial cell survival.",

HDM\u2011induced asthma model was established in C57BL/6 mice. RNA\u2011sequencing, correlation analysis, flowcytometry, immunofluorescence, and pharmacological interventions were used. Il33 knockout mice and T\u2011cell\u2011specific Adra2a or Akt1 knockout mice were generated. GEO datasets were analyzed for Tfh cell signatures. We found that HDM challenge significantly upregulated Adra2a in lung and lymph nodes. Adra2a expression was strongly correlated with type 2 chemokines Ccl11, Il33, and Ccl17. In Il33KO mice, Adra2a was among the top downregulated genes, and Il33 deletion broadly suppressed type 2 inflammation genes. Catecholamine\u2011metabolizing enzymes showed differential correlations: Maoa positively correlated with Adra2a and asthma genes, whereas Maob and Ddc were negatively correlated. \u03b12AR was highly expressed on Tfh cells, especially on GC\u2011Tfh cells. \u03b12AR activation aggravated airway inflammation, increased Tfh and germinal center B cells, promoted type 2 cytokines and IgE, and AKT phosphorylation. Conversely, T\u2011cell\u2011specific Adra2a knockout or Akt1 knockout attenuated these effects. \u03b12AR is a key regulator linking neuro\u2011immune crosstalk to type 2 airway inflammation. It promotes Tfh cell differentiation and allergic responses via AKT signaling. Targeting \u03b12AR may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for asthma.",

Glycolysis has been reported to participate in pathogenesis of allergic asthma and increased lactate levels were found in asthma patients and mouse models. However, the function of lactate in allergic asthma remains unclear. A mouse model of HDM induced allergic airway inflammation was established. Six age- and weight-matched female mice were assigned to different groups using a randomized double-blind method. A panel of indicators such as serum IgE, infiltration cell numbers, Th2 cytokines levels and eosinophil extracellular traps (EETs) were applied to assess airway inflammation. Airway epithelial barrier function was measured by Western blot and immunofluorescent staining. RNAseq analysis of lung tissues was applied to elucidate potential mechanisms, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples was used for gut microbiota analysis. Administration of lactate could significantly ameliorate allergic airway inflammation including Th2 cytokines, inflammatory cell infiltration, histopathological morphological changes together with eosinophil extracellular traps (EETs) formation in a mouse model of asthma. Moreover, RNAseq analysis revealed that lactate decreased proinflammtory cytokine and chemokine related pathways such as MAPK, STAT1, STAT3 and NF-\u03baB to exert immunoregulatory effects. In addition, we found that lactate dramatically inhibited airway epithelial barrier dysfunction and pulmonary apoptosis. Furthermore, 16S rRNA gene sequencing of fecal samples suggested that lactate treatment increased abundance of Lactobacillus, Limosilactobacillus and Bacteroides, showing a shift towards a healthier state in HDM-induced asthmatic mice. Our study integrating transcriptomic and microbiome analyses, revealed a protective effect of lactate on allergic airway inflammation, providing a basis for development of novel therapeutic treatment for allergic asthma.",
"42445460": "ID: 42445460\nTitle: Routine lipid profiles in allergic disease: a mini review.\nAbstract: Allergic diseases are traditionally interpreted through epithelial barrier dysfunction, type 2 immune activation, and downstream inflammatory mediators, whereas routine serum lipid measures have usually been considered markers of cardiometabolic risk. However, emerging clinical and mechanistic evidence suggests that high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and triglycerides (TG) may provide additional information about systemic inflammatory and metabolic contexts in allergic diseases. This review synthesizes current evidence on routine lipid profiles across asthma, atopic dermatitis, and allergic rhinitis, with emphasis on their clinical associations, disease-specific differences, and potential immune mechanisms. Asthma currently provides the strongest case for clinical relevance, with lipid abnormalities linked to disease burden, metabolic complexity, and heterogeneous clinical outcomes. In atopic dermatitis, circulating lipid measures appear less central than epidermal barrier lipid abnormalities, although they may still reflect selected metabolic or cardiovascular risk contexts. In allergic rhinitis, clinical associations remain inconsistent, but mechanistic studies suggest that lipoprotein function, particularly HDL-related regulation of eosinophils, antigen-presenting cells, and type 2 innate lymphoid cells, may be biologically relevant. Overall, this review presents routine lipid profiles as accessible contextual markers that may help connect systemic metabolism with allergic immune regulation, refine clinical stratification, and generate hypotheses about lipid-immune crosstalk. Future studies integrating routine lipid panels with functional lipoprotein assays, tissue-level immunology, and longitudinal outcome data are needed to determine whether these measures can become useful tools in allergic disease management.",
"42445462": "ID: 42445462\nTitle: Tezepelumab attenuates exertional symptom burden in severe asthma: insights from a real-world cohort.\nAbstract: Exertional symptom burden is an important yet insufficiently characterised component of morbidity in severe asthma. Tezepelumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), reduces exacerbations and improves asthma control across phenotypes, but its effects on patient-reported exertional symptoms and physical activity limitation remain unclear. We conducted a retrospective study in 24 adults with severe asthma initiating tezepelumab per GINA criteria. The 6-item Asthma Control Questionnaire (ACQ-6), Asthma Control Test (ACT), and mini-Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (miniAQLQ) were administered at baseline and at 3 (n\u2009=\u200924), 6 (n\u2009=\u200920), and 12 months (n\u2009=\u200916). Pre-specified exercise-related items were analysed alongside total scores using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. At baseline, patients had poorly controlled asthma (median ACQ-6 3.50/6, ACT 11/25, miniAQLQ 3.53/6) and moderate-to-severe airflow limitation (median FEV\u2081 57% predicted). Total scores improved progressively over 12 months, with changes at months 6 and 12 exceeding the respective minimal clinically important differences. Exertion-related items showed consistent improvements at least as pronounced as total score changes. The largest improvements were in strenuous activity limitation (miniAQLQ Q12: median change +2.0, p\u2009=\u20090.006) and overall activity limitation (ACQ-6 Q3: median change -2.5, p\u2009=\u20090.008). In severe asthma, Tezepelumab is associated with progressive attenuation of exertional symptoms over 12 months of real-world treatment. These associative findings are consistent with mechanistic data and support further prospective studies.",
"42448002": "ID: 42448002\nTitle: The PEACE-24 Study: Tezepelumab Improves Functional Exercise Capacity and Asthma Control in Severe Asthma.\nAbstract: Tezepelumab is effective in improving disease control and reducing exacerbations, regardless of the T2 inflammatory profile 1-5. With its ability to mitigate bronchial hyperresponsiveness and mucus hypersecretion, improve respiratory function, and modulate the inflammatory response 1,6,7, this drug could play a role in increasing exercise tolerance. Our study aims to evaluate the improvement in exercise tolerance, a less-explored aspect, in patients treated with Tezepelumab using the six-minute walking test (6MWT). Patients treated with Tezepelumab at Respiratory and Allergy Clinic of Genoa Metropolitan Hospital were included in the study. Patients were assessed at baseline and at 24 weeks using spirometry, exhaled nitric oxide measurement, asthma control and quality of life questionnaires (ACT, AQLQ, SNOT22, RAPP), and 6MWT. Pre- and post-treatment data were analyzed using the paired samples t-test and Spearman's correlation. After 24 weeks, a significant improvement was observed in the distance covered in the 6MWT, both in absolute terms (409m vs. 478m, p=0.031) and in terms of % of the predicted theoretical value (73% vs. 82%, p=0.034), with improvement in pre-test dyspnea (Borg 3.55 vs. 1.47, p=0.002) and the average score of the domains related to physical exercise in the AQLQ questionnaire (4.24 vs. 5.80, p=0.01). There was also a positive correlation between improvement in FEV1 and distance covered (\u03c1=0.658, p=0.028). Tezepelumab, with its effects, increases exercise tolerance in patients with severe asthma, highlighting this as a potentially treatable trait to consider in the management of such patients.",
"42449692": "ID: 42449692\nTitle: Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells in Cancer: Metabolic Reprogramming, Immune Crosstalk, and Therapeutic Targeting.\nAbstract: Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) are a heterogeneous population of immature myeloid cells that accumulate in cancer and represent one of the major drivers of tumor-associated immunosuppression. MDSCs actively contribute to tumor progression by inhibiting both innate and adaptive immune responses, promoting angiogenesis, metastatic dissemination, and resistance to immunotherapy. Two major subsets have been identified, polymorphonuclear (PMN-) and monocytic (Mo-) MDSCs, each characterized by distinct phenotypic, metabolic, and suppressive properties. Within the tumor microenvironment (TME), MDSCs establish a complex network of interactions with T-, B-, NK-cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages, thereby orchestrating immune escape and tumor persistence. Recent evidence highlights the pivotal role of metabolic rewiring in regulating MDSC survival and suppressive activity. Enhanced aerobic glycolysis, fatty acid oxidation, amino acid depletion, reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, and adenosine metabolism collectively sustain MDSC-mediated immune dysfunction and shape the immunosuppressive TME. In particular, the crosstalk between PMN-MDSCs and NK cells has emerged as a critical mechanism of tumor immune evasion, leading to impaired NK cell cytotoxicity, altered activating receptor expression, and defective cytokine production. In this review, we summarize the current knowledge on the phenotypic and functional heterogeneity of MDSCs, their metabolic adaptations, and their interactions with immune effector populations in cancer. Furthermore, we discuss emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at targeting MDSC recruitment, differentiation, metabolic pathways, and suppressive functions. Understanding the molecular and metabolic mechanisms governing MDSC biology may provide novel opportunities to overcome tumor-induced immunosuppression and improve the efficacy of current cancer immunotherapies.",
"42449908": "ID: 42449908\nTitle: Baseline Inflammatory Biomarkers and Disease Burden for Predicting Response to Stapokibart in CRSwNP.\nAbstract: Background: Stapokibart is a novel biologic for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP). We aimed to identify baseline biomarkers predicting early (4-week) and mid-term (16-week) responses to stapokibart in CRSwNP. Methods: A total of 57 patients were prospectively enrolled. Baseline clinical data and complete blood count (CBC) parameters were collected, and derived inflammatory indices were calculated. Patients were classified as responders or non-responders at week 4 and 16 based on achieving either a \u22658.9-point reduction in SNOT-22 or a \u22651-point decrease in Nasal Polyp Score (NPS). Results: Stapokibart significantly improved SNOT-22, VAS, and NPS at both week 4 and week 16 (all p < 0.001). At week 4, 80.7% achieved an early response. Responders showed significantly higher baseline eosinophil count and eosinophil percentage and lower neutrophil-to-eosinophil ratio (N/E) (all p < 0.05). Univariate analysis identified N/E, comorbid asthma, eosinophil count, and aggregate index of systemic inflammation (AISI) as predictors of early response (all p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis identified N/E as an independent predictor (OR = 0.943, p = 0.011; AUC = 0.756). At week 16, 75.4% of patients achieved a mid-term response. Responders had significantly higher baseline SNOT-22 scores and NPS (p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that baseline NPS and SNOT-22 scores were independently associated with mid-term response, and their combined model showed good predictive performance (AUC = 0.832, 95% CI: 0.716-0.948). Conclusions: Peripheral blood inflammatory biomarkers, particularly N/E, may predict early response to stapokibart in CRSwNP, whereas mid-term response appears more strongly associated with baseline disease severity. These findings support biomarker-driven stratification for individualized treatment strategies in CRSwNP.",
"42450179": "ID: 42450179\nTitle: Contribution of Interleukin-22 Binding Protein to the Development of Allergen-Induced Airway Hyperresponsiveness.\nAbstract: Interleukin-22 binding protein (IL-22BP) is a soluble decoy receptor that competitively inhibits IL-22 by preventing its interaction with the IL-22 receptor. Although the IL-22 receptor is primarily expressed on non-hematopoietic cells, such as airway epithelial cells, the role of IL-22BP in the pathogenesis of asthma remains uncertain. We observed that IL-22BP was upregulated in the airways of wild-type (WT) mice intranasally sensitized and challenged with house dust mite (HDM) extract. To directly elucidate the function of IL-22BP in allergic airway responses, IL-22BP-deficient (IL-22BP-/-) and WT mice were sensitized and challenged with HDM, and airway responses were systematically assessed. IL-22BP-/- mice exhibited significantly lower airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) compared to WT mice following sensitization and challenge with HDM. In contrast, eosinophil counts in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid did not differ significantly between the two groups. Similarly, levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-13, IL-17A, and keratinocyte chemoattractant (KC) in BAL fluid were comparable between WT and IL-22BP-/- mice. Notably, IL-22 levels in lung homogenates were significantly higher in IL-22BP-/- mice than in WT mice after sensitization and challenge with HDM. These findings suggest that inhibition of IL-22BP attenuates the development of allergen-induced AHR, an effect likely mediated through enhanced IL-22 activity rather than alterations in airway inflammation or type 2 cytokine production.",
"42452466": "ID: 42452466\nTitle: Efficacy and Safety of IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R Targeted Biologic Therapies in Type 2 Inflammatory Airway Diseases: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.\nAbstract: Background/Objectives: Severe asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) frequently coexist and are associated with type 2 inflammation, leading to poor symptom control and high healthcare burden. Biologic therapies targeting IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R have shown efficacy in type 2 inflammatory asthma and CRSwNP, but comprehensive evidence on their efficacy, safety, and research trends is limited. Methods: We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating dupilumab, mepolizumab, benralizumab, or reslizumab in patients with type 2 inflammatory asthma and/or CRSwNP. Primary outcomes included lung function (FEV1), symptom control (ACQ, SNOT-22, nasal polyp score), and serious adverse events (SAEs). Risk of bias was assessed using the Cochrane RoB 2.0 tool. Publication bias was evaluated with funnel plots and Trim-and-Fill analysis. Bibliometric analysis was performed to identify publication trends and emerging research directions. Results: A total of 23 RCTs involving 8758 participants were included. Biologic therapy was not associated with a significant increase in serious adverse events (RR = 1.15, 95% CI: 0.89-1.50). Compared with control treatment, biologics significantly improved FEV1 (MD = 100.67 mL, 95% CI: 65.94-135.40) and ACQ scores (MD = -0.40, 95% CI: -0.54 to -0.25). In patients with CRSwNP and comorbid asthma, biologics also improved SNOT-22 scores (MD = -13.16, 95% CI: -24.85 to -1.47) and nasal polyp scores (MD = -1.31, 95% CI: -1.95 to -0.68). Dupilumab trials showed larger reductions in nasal polyp score than IL-5/IL-5R-targeted trials, although this indirect comparison should be interpreted cautiously. Bibliometric analysis indicated increasing research attention to upstream epithelial targets such as TSLP. Conclusions: Both IL-4R\u03b1 and IL-5/IL-5R-targeted biologics are effective and well-tolerated in type 2 inflammatory airway diseases. IL-4R\u03b1 inhibition shows favorable upper-airway outcomes in CRSwNP with asthma, but head-to-head trials are needed to clarify its comparative efficacy relative to IL-5/IL-5R-targeted therapies. Emerging research directions are shifting toward upstream epithelial alarmin antibodies.",
"42454159": "ID: 42454159\nTitle: Gegen Qinlian Decoction Mitigates DSS-Induced Acute Colitis and Reinstates Gut Barrier Function in Mice, Correlating with Suppressed IL-33/ST2 Signaling.\nAbstract: As a classical prescription documented in the Treatise on Febrile Diseases, Gegen Qinlian Decoction (GGQLD) has been widely utilized for diarrhea and dysentery across history. Modern research indicates its potential efficacy in inflammatory bowel diseases, including ulcerative colitis (UC). To elucidate the pathways involved, this research examined how GGQLD reduces the severity of DSS-induced colitis in mice. To establish acute colitis, C57BL/6J mice were exposed to 3% DSS. Different doses of GGQLD, recombinant IL-33, or an IL-33-neutralizing antibody were then administered. The expression profiles of IL-33/ST2 pathway components and epithelial barrier proteins were investigated using immunostaining, qPCR, and Western blotting. Macrophage phenotypes were evaluated by flow cytometry, and cytokine secretion was assessed by ELISA. DSS exposure increased IL-33 expression, accompanied by a shift toward an M1-like macrophage phenotype and epithelial barrier damage. Recombinant IL-33 further exacerbated inflammation and permeability. In contrast, GGQLD and IL-33 neutralization alleviated colitis and reversed these changes. GGQLD treatment was accompanied by reduced M1-associated responses and an increased proportion of CD163+ M2-like macrophages, together with decreased TNF-\u03b1 and elevated IL-10 levels. In parallel, restoration of \u03b2-catenin and E-cadherin expression was observed, along with reduced ST2 expression. In a DSS-induced acute colitis mouse model, GGQLD alleviated disease severity and reduced IL-33/ST2 signaling activity. In parallel, macrophages displayed a shift toward an M2-like phenotype, accompanied by changes in inflammatory cytokine profiles and improved intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. These findings suggest that modulation of the IL-33/ST2 pathway may be involved in the therapeutic effects of GGQLD."
