It is primarily a chronic disease, in which some patients have clinical and pathophysiological relapses, while others progress to asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It accounts for 5% to 30% of cases referred for chronic cough. Exposure to common inhalants and occupational sensitizers has been proposed as a possible cause of the disease, although the etiology and underlying mechanisms are uncertain. Some features are similar to those of asthma, such as airway eosinophilia, inflammatory mediator levels, and airway remodeling. Differences in airway pathophysiology, such as the location of airway inflammation and levels of IL-13 and PGE-2, have been reported. Sputum cell count is the gold standard test for diagnosis, and other biomarkers, such as exhaled nitric oxide, could support the diagnosis. A systematic review of treatments for the disease shows that while inhaled corticosteroids are the primary option, the appropriate dose, the type of corticosteroid, and the duration of treatment remain unknown. Treatment duration is inversely correlated with the relapse rate. Increased doses of inhaled corticosteroids, oral corticosteroids, and leukotriene receptor antagonists are recommended in persistent disease. Anti-IL-5 biologics could be promising in this disease.

It plays an active role in the initiation of immune and allergic responses against potential hazards. Among the various specialized cells and cytokines that participate in epithelium-induced responses, alarmins are particularly interesting, given their ample role in mediating T2 and non-T2 inflammatory mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of asthma. Thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP) is an alarmin with broad effects in asthma that result from its widespread action on multiple cell types, including eosinophils, mast cells, dendritic cells, and group-2 innate lymphoid cells. Its role in allergy-mediated responses, eosinophilic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, mucus hyperproduction, viral tolerance, and airway remodeling is of the utmost importance, as more comprehensive asthma assessments have been developed to explore these pathogenic features. Therefore, blockade with targeting molecules, such as monoclonal antibodies, has emerged as a promising therapeutic option, particularly in patients with multiple pathogenic pathways. In this review, we examine the roles of alarmins (mainly TSLP) in the pathogenesis of asthma and clinical expression and discuss the effects of inhibiting TSLP on several inflammatory and clinical outcomes. We also review the literature supporting treatment with anti-TSLP biologics and the unanswered questions and unmet needs associated with targeting alarmins in asthma.</p>","PeriodicalId":50173,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology","volume":" ","pages":"293-302"},"PeriodicalIF":6.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141762202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
