{"doi":"10.1164/rccm.202402-0403oc","title":"Type 1 Immune Responses Related to Viral Infection Influence Corticosteroid Response in Asthma","abstract":"Abstract Rationale Corticosteroid-responsive type 2 (T2) inflammation underlies the T2-high asthma endotype. However, we hypothesized that type 1 (T1) inflammation, possibly related to viral infection, may also influence corticosteroid response. Objectives To determine the frequency and within-patient variability of T1-high, T2-high, and T1/T2-high asthma endotypes and whether virally influenced T1-high disease influences corticosteroid response in asthma. Methods Patients in SARP-3 (Severe Asthma Research Program-3) had sputum collected at baseline, after intramuscular (triamcinolone acetonide) corticosteroid treatment, and at 1- and 3-year follow-ups. Sputum cell RNA was used for whole-transcriptome gene network and viral metagenomic analyses. We then profiled patients as highly expressing T1 and/or T2 gene networks and established the influence of these endotypes on corticosteroid responsiveness and the likelihood of viral transcript detection in the airways. Measurements and Main Results We found that 22% and 35% of patients with asthma highly expressed T1 and T2 network genes, respectively, and that 8.5% highly expressed both networks. Asthma severity outcomes were worse in T2-high compared with T1-high asthma and most severe in the T1-high/T2-high subgroup. Corticosteroid treatment strongly suppressed T2 but poorly suppressed T1 gene expression, and corticosteroid-associated improvements in FEV1 occurred only in patients with T1-low/T2-high disease and not in patients with T1-high/T2-high disease. Viral metagenomic analyses uncovered that 24% of asthma sputum samples tested positive for a respiratory virus, and high viral carriage was associated with 14-fold increased risk of T1-high disease. Conclusions Airway T1 immune responses are relatively common in asthma, are largely corticosteroid resistant, and are associated with subclinical viral infection.","journal":"American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine","year":2024,"id":422394,"datarank":0.49983067652628066,"base_score":3.332204510175204,"endowment":3.332204510175204,"self_citation_contribution":0.49983067652628066,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.49983067652628066,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":27,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9586,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":12143,"name":"Nathan D.
