Abstract

Background

Asthma is a complex heterogeneous disease occurring in adults and children that is characterized by distinct inflammatory patterns. While numerous studies have been performed in adults, little is known regarding the heterogeneity of severe asthma in children, particularly inflammatory signatures involving the air spaces.

Objective

We sought to determine the relationship of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cytokine/chemokine expression patterns in children with severe therapy-resistant asthma stratified according to neutrophilic versus nonneutrophilic BAL inflammatory cell patterns.

Methods

Children with severe asthma with inadequate symptom control despite therapy underwent diagnostic bronchoscopy and BAL. Inflammatory cytokine/chemokine concentrations were determined using a multiplex protein bead assay.

Results

Analysis of BAL constituents with an unbiased clustering approach revealed distinct cytokine/chemokine patterns, and these aligned with pathways associated with type 2 innate lymphoid cells, monocytes, neutrophil trafficking, and T effector cells. All cytokines examined (n = 27) with 1 exception (vascular endothelial growth factor) were overexpressed with BAL neutrophilia compared with nonneutrophilic asthma, and this was confirmed in a cross-validation analysis. Cytokines specifically responsible for Th17 (IL-17, IL-6, G-CSF) and Th1 differentiation and expression (IL-12, TNF-α, IFN-γ) were enhanced in the neutrophilic cohorts. Neutrophilic groups were also characterized by higher prevalence of bacterial and viral pathogens; however, cytokine expression patterns manifested independently of pathogen expression.

Conclusions

The results demonstrate that children with refractory asthma and neutrophilic inflammation had a BAL cytokine pattern consistent with a mixed Th17/Th1/Th2 response. In contrast, nonneutrophilic asthma presented independently of cytokine overexpression.
