Phenotype of asthma related with high serum periostin levels

Abstract: Elevated periostin concentrations in serum were correlated with a specific phenotype of eosinophilic asthma, late-onset and often complicated by obstructive pulmonary dysfunction and nasal disorders.

“…These data are also supported by the results of another study performed on asthmatic patients type "Th2-high", in which IL-13 has been associated with an increased serpinB2, Clca1 and POSTN gene expression in airway epithelial brushings [20,21]. An increased eosinophilic inflammation in bronchial mucosa has been also noticed, in association with respiratory epithelium basement membrane thickening, and a fast decline of lung function despite the aggressive corticosteroid therapy.…”

“…Periostin in BLF was detected as previously described with a slight modification, using the biotin-stereptavidin system to increase the sensitivity. 2,9,10 The BLF from seven asthma patients showed no detectable periostin (data not shown). Although periostin was detectable in the BLF of the remaining three asthma patients, the periostin levels were less than 200 pg/mL.…”

“…According to some authors, this protein is a safe and stable biomarker of chronic inflammation [17] and of the T H 2 mechanism underlying severe asthma in adults [10]. A link has been established between periostin and bronchial obstruction, elevated levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO), and eosinophil count in adults [18][19][20]. One of the effects of periostin is to attract inflammatory cells-neutrophils or eosinophils-to the airway.…”
