Participants were included if they were exposed to someone with MDR-tuberculosis and were given either 6 months of isoniazid TPT or no TPT. Our primary outcome was incident tuberculosis in contacts exposed to tuberculosis. We derived adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) using mixed-effects, multivariable survival regression models with study-level random effects. The effectiveness of isoniazid TPT against incident tuberculosis was estimated through propensity score matching. We stratified our results by contact age, background tuberculosis burden, and Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection status.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTSWe included participant-level data from 6,668 contacts exposed to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis from 17 countries. The effectiveness of isoniazid TPT against incident tuberculosis in contacts of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis was 57% (aHR, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.26-0.71) and did not appreciably change with adjustment for additional potential confounders. The reduction in incident tuberculosis was marginally greater among child (<20 years old) contacts (0.51; 95% CI, 0.28-0.92) compared to adult contacts (0.69; 95% CI, 0.22-2.20). The reduction in incidence was 73% (0.27; 95% CI, 0.11-0.70) in the first year of follow-up; effectiveness dropped to 60% (0.40; 95% CI, 0.15-1.06) from 12-23 months of follow-up and was non-significant after two years (28% effectiveness; 0.72; 95% CI, 0.33-1.54).CONCLUSIONSAmong over 6,500 contacts of MDR-tuberculosis, isoniazid TPT was highly effective in preventing incident tuberculosis. The reduction was greatest in high-burden countries and waned after 2 years of follow-up.","PeriodicalId":7664,"journal":{"name":"American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine","volume":"156 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145127282","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the molecular pathophysiology of asthmatic bronchiolar disease is poorly defined.OBJECTIVESTest the hypothesis that asthmatic bronchioles exhibit disturbances in epithelial biology that produce MUC5AC-dominated mucus plugs.METHODSPeripheral lung tissues from severe asthmatics, fatal asthmatics (FA), and controls were evaluated with histology, RNA in situ hybridization, and immunohistochemistry. Isolated bronchiolar and bronchial basal cell responses to IL13 were compared in culture. Spatial transcriptomics and multiplex immunophenotyping were performed on excised tissue sections.MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTSIn excised tissues, severe and FA bronchiolar epithelia, depleted of distal airway secretory cells (DASCs) and enriched in MUC5AC goblet cells, circumscribed MUC5AC-dominated mucus plugs. In cultured bronchiolar basal cells, IL13 suppressed FOXA2 and DASC gene signatures and upregulated MUC5AC expression. Additional studies in severe and FA excised tissues demonstrated that bronchiolar epithelia were populated by MUC5AC-expressing goblet cell niches heterogeneously distributed within single segments and, indeed, individual bronchioles. Spatial transcriptomics and immuno-proteomics of these MUC5AC-expressing bronchiolar niches identified increased goblet, suprabasal (SERPINB3), and basal cell, juxtaposed to a loss of DASC, gene signatures. MUC5AC-high niche bronchiolar basal cells expressed reduced FOXA2 and elevated type-2 inflammatory (T2) gene signatures. Immune cell distributions surrounding asthmatic bronchioles differed from controls but did not correlate with MUC5AC-high niches.CONCLUSIONSAsthmatic bronchioles exhibit a T2-driven proximalization associated with mucus plugging. MUC5AC-high niches were identified heterogeneously in bronchiolar epithelia independent of immune cell localizations, suggesting asthmatic bronchioles contain cellular niches which perpetuate T2-initiated epithelial remodeling.","PeriodicalId":7664,"journal":{"name":"American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine","volume":"30 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":24.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145127284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
