Relationship between sputum clusterin levels and childhood asthma

Abstract: Clusterin levels were altered in children with stable asthma and asthma exacerbation because of its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. Clusterin may be a marker that reflects airway inflammation and severity of symptoms, and it can be used in the assessment and management of childhood asthma.

“…[17] Spirometry (VIASYS Healthcare, Inc., Conshohocken, PA) was performed, and flow volume was obtained according to the American Thoracic Society guidelines before and after BD inhalation, [18] In a challenge test, each child inhaled increasing concentrations of methacholine (0.075, 0.15, 0.31, 0.62, 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 25, and 50 mg/mL) nebulized by a dosimeter (MB3; Mefar, Brescia, Italy) until FEV 1 reduced by 20% from a post-nebulized saline solution value. The bronchial response was expressed as the provocative concentration of methacholine causing a 20% decrease in the FEV 1 (PC 20 ; measured in milligrams per milliliter) and was calculated by linear interpolation of the log dose–response curve.…”

“…For sputum induction and processing, we used the protocol described by Yoshikawa et al [20] As we described previously, [17] all children were instructed to wash their mouths thoroughly with water. Then, they inhaled a 3% saline solution nebulized in an ultrasonic nebulizer (NE-U12; Omron Co., Tokyo, Japan) at maximum output at room temperature.…”

“…Clusterin is a ubiquitous antioxidant glycoprotein. In a study by Soi et al, salivary levels of clusterin were elevated in asthmatic children compared to controls and levels were positively correlated with clinical severity particularly children with eosinophilic asthma. Interestingly, salivary levels were reduced in children with asthma exacerbations possible related to clusterin “consumption” by oxidants or the use of systemic corticosteroids.…”
