Investigation of lactotransferrin messenger RNA expression levels as an anti–type 2 asthma biomarker
Background
Lactotransferrin (LTF) has an immunomodulatory function, and its expression levels are associated with asthma susceptibility.
Objectives
We sought to investigate LTF messenger RNA (mRNA) expression levels in human bronchial epithelial cells (BECs) as an anti–type 2 (T2) asthma biomarker.
Methods
Association analyses between LTF mRNA expression levels in BECs and asthma-related phenotypes were performed in the Severe Asthma Research Program (SARP) cross-sectional (n = 155) and longitudinal (n = 156) cohorts using a generalized linear model. Correlation analyses of mRNA expression levels between LTF and all other genes were performed by Spearman correlation.
Results
Low LTF mRNA expression levels were associated with asthma susceptibility and severity (P < .025), retrospective and prospective asthma exacerbations, and low lung function (P < 8.3 × 10−3). Low LTF mRNA expression levels were associated with high airway T2 inflammation biomarkers (sputum eosinophils and fractional exhaled nitric oxide; P < 8.3 × 10−3) but were not associated with blood eosinophils or total serum IgE. LTF mRNA expression levels were negatively correlated with expression levels of TH2 or asthma-associated genes (POSTN, NOS2, and MUC5AC) and eosinophil-related genes (IL1RL1, CCL26, and IKZF2) and positively correlated with expression levels of TH1 and inflammation genes (IL12A, MUC5B, and CC16) and TH17-driven cytokines or chemokines for neutrophils (CXCL1, CXCL6, and CSF3) (P < 3.5 × 10−6).
Conclusions
Low LTF mRNA expression levels in BECs are associated with asthma susceptibility, severity, and exacerbations through upregulation of airway T2 inflammation. LTF is a potential anti-T2 biomarker, and its expression levels may help determine the balance of eosinophilic and neutrophilic asthma.
