    Abstract Summary: Asthma is a complex pulmonary disorder with multiple pathological mechanisms. A key pathological feature of chronic asthma is airway remodeling, which is largely attributed to airway smooth muscle (ASM) hyperplasia that contributes to thickening of the airway wall and further drives asthma pathology. The cellular processes that mediate ASM cell proliferation are not completely elucidated. Using multiple approaches, we demonstrate that the adapter protein Abi1 (Abelson interactor 1) is upregulated in ∼50% of ASM cell cultures derived from patients with asthma. Loss-of-function studies demonstrate that Abi1 regulates the activation of Jak2 (Janus kinase 2) and STAT3 (signal transducers and activators of transcription 3) as well as the proliferation of both nonasthmatic and asthmatic human ASM cell cultures. These findings identify Abi1 as a molecular switch that activates Jak2 kinase and STAT3 in ASM cells and demonstrate that a dysfunctional Abi1-associated pathway contributes to the progression of asthma.

    Abstract A subset of asthmatics develop a severe form of the disease whose etiology involves airway inflammation along with inherent drivers that remain ill-defined. To address this, we studied human airway smooth muscle cells (HASMC), whose relaxation drives airway bronchodilation and whose dysfunction contributes to airway obstruction and hypersensitivity in severe asthma. Because HASMC relaxation can be driven by the NO-soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC)-cGMP signaling pathway, we questioned if HASMC from severe asthma donors might possess inherent defects in their sGC or in redox enzymes that support sGC function. We analyzed HASMC primary lines derived from 17 severe asthma and 16 normal donors and corresponding lung tissue samples regarding sGC activation by NO or by pharmacologic agonists, and also determined expression levels of sGC α1 and β1 subunits, supporting redox enzymes, and related proteins. We found a majority of the severe asthma donor HASMC (12/17) and lung samples primarily expressed a dysfunctional sGC that was NO-unresponsive and had low heterodimer content and high Hsp90 association. This sGC phenotype correlated with lower expression levels of the supporting redox enzymes cytochrome b5 reductase, catalase, and thioredoxin-1, and higher expression of heme oxygenases 1 and 2. Together, our work reveals that severe asthmatics are predisposed toward defective NO-sGC-cGMP signaling in their airway smooth muscle due to an inherent sGC dysfunction, which in turn is associated with inherent changes in the cell redox enzymes that impact sGC maturation and function.

    Abstract COPD is a disease manifested as persistent airflow obstruction with an enhanced inflammatory response in the airways and lungs to noxious particles and gases which evokes symptoms of dyspnea on exertion, cough and mucus production. Airway smooth muscle plays a central role in the COPD diathesis and is implicated in many aspects of COPD pathogenesis. Vitamin D deficiency has been associated with COPD severity and studies suggest a role for Vitamin D as a treatment for COPD. In this review, we describe the effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D on airway smooth muscle function, including agonist-induced shortening, secretion of inflammatory mediators, and myocyte hypertrophy and hyperplasia.

    Abstract COPD represents a major respiratory disorder, causing significant morbidity and mortality throughout the world. While therapies exist for COPD, they are not always effective, and many patients experience exacerbations and morbidity despite current therapies. Study of the molecular mechanisms involved in the underlying physiological manifestations of COPD has yielded multiple new targets for therapeutic intervention. In this review, we discuss signaling pathways involved in COPD pathogenesis and review clinical studies of p38 MAPK inhibitors, TNFα inhibitors, and IKK2 inhibitors as potential COPD therapies.

    Abstract Although reversible airway obstruction in part defines asthma, lung function as measured by spirometry alone inadequately predicts the value of new therapeutic agents in the treatment of severe asthma. Our objectives are 1) to review whether pulmonary function and bronchodilator reversibility are endpoints for drug discovery and 2) to identify parameters that predict efficacy in drug development in severe asthma. An English language literature search using MedLine and PubMed was conducted from 1997 to present concerning pathophysiology, diagnosis and therapy of severe asthma using the terms “severe asthma,” “irreversible asthma,” “difficult asthma,” “airway remodeling,” “fixed airway obstruction,” “reversibility” and “bronchodilator reversibility” as index terms. Eight studies were characterized that encompass 1424 subjects with asthma. Our review identified the limitations of using bronchodilator reversibility as a predictor in drug development for severe asthma. Neither improvement in lung function nor bronchodilator reversibility characterized the benefit of new drugs in the treatment of severe asthma. Newly approved drugs in the treatment of severe asthma show decreased asthma exacerbations and improved quality of life associated with steroid-sparing benefits without altering bronchodilator responsiveness or improving lung function. Although changes in lung function predict asthma control in mild/moderate asthma, lung function alone is inadequate to assess improvement in asthma control in severe asthma manifested by fixed airway obstruction. Endpoints that focus on asthma control, as defined by the Expert Panel Report 3 and GINA guidelines, may predict the value of new therapeutics in the management of severe asthma.

    Abstract Scientists who plan to publish in the British Journal of Pharmacology (BJP) should read this article before undertaking studies utilising anaesthetics in mammalian animals. This editorial identifies certain gaps in the reporting of details on the use of anaesthetics in animal research studies published in the BJP. The editorial also provides guidance, based upon current best practices, for performing in vivo experiments that require anaesthesia. In addition, mechanisms of action and physiological impact of specific anaesthetic agents are discussed. Our goal is to identify best practices and to provide guidance on the information required for manuscripts submitted to the BJP that involve the use of anaesthetic agents in studies with experimental animals.

    Abstract Current asthma guidelines recommend a control-based approach to management that involves assessment of impairment and risk followed by implementation of treatment strategies individualized according to the patient's needs and preferences. The fact that many patients still experience severe symptoms that negatively affect quality of life suggests that asthma control remains an objective to be achieved. Tools are available to help patients (and families) manage the day-to-day and short-term variability in asthma symptoms; however, when and how to implement a sustained step-up in therapy is less clear. The Asthma Yardstick is a comprehensive update on how to conduct a sustained step-up in asthma therapy for the patient with not well-controlled or poorly controlled asthma. Patient profiles and step-up strategies are based on current guidelines, newer data, and the authors' combined clinical experience and are intended to provide a practical and clinically meaningful guide toward the goal of well-controlled asthma for every patient. The development of this tool comes in response to the continued need to proactively address the sustained loss of asthma control at all levels of severity.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: Drugs targeting individual G protein–coupled receptors are used as asthma therapies, but this strategy is limited because of G protein–coupled receptor signal redundancy. Regulator of G protein signaling 2 (RGS2), an intracellular selective inhibitor of multiple bronchoconstrictor receptors, may play a central role in the pathophysiology and treatment of asthma. OBJECTIVE: We defined functions and mechanisms of RGS2 in regulating airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), the pathophysiologic hallmark of asthma. METHODS: Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to determine changes in RGS2 expression in ovalbumin-sensitized/-challenged mice. We also used immunohistochemistry and real-time PCR to compare RGS2 expression between human asthmatic and control subjects. The AHR of RGS2 knockout mice was assessed by using invasive tracheostomy and unrestrained plethysmography. Effects of loss of RGS2 on mouse airway smooth muscle (ASM) remodeling, contraction, intracellular Ca²⁺, and mitogenic signaling were determined in vivo and in vitro. RESULTS: RGS2 was highly expressed in human and murine bronchial epithelium and ASM and was markedly downregulated in lungs of ovalbumin-sensitized/-challenged mice. Lung tissues and blood monocytes from asthma patients expressed significantly lower RGS2 protein (lung) and mRNA (monocytes) than from nonasthma subjects. The extent of reduction of RGS2 on human monocytes correlated with increased AHR. RGS2 knockout caused spontaneous AHR in mice. Loss of RGS2 augmented Ca²⁺ mobilization and contraction of ASM cells. Loss of RGS2 also increased ASM mass and stimulated ASM cell growth via extracellular signal-regulated kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase pathways. CONCLUSION: We identified RGS2 as a potent modulator of AHR and a potential novel therapeutic target for asthma.
