    Abstract Gene editing technology has emerged as a powerful tool in all aspects of health research and continues to advance our understanding of critical and essential elements in disease pathophysiology. The clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) gene editing technology has been used with precision to generate gene knockouts, alter genes, and identify genes that cause disease. The full spectrum of allergic/atopic diseases, in part because of shared pathophysiology, is ripe for studies with this technology. In this way, novel culprit genes are being identified and allow for manipulation of triggering allergens to reduce allergenicity and disease. Notwithstanding current limitations on precision and potential off-target effects, newer approaches are rapidly being introduced to more fully understand specific gene functions as well as the consequences of genetic manipulation. In this review, we examine the impact of editing technologies of novel genes relevant to peanut allergy and asthma as well as how gene modification of common allergens may lead to the deletion of allergenic proteins.

    Abstract For several decades, the leukotriene pathways have been implicated as playing a central role in the pathophysiology of asthma. The presence and elevation of numerous metabolites in the blood, sputum, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from asthmatics or experimental animals adds support to this notion. However, targeting of the leukotriene pathways has had, in general, limited success. The single exception in asthma therapy has been targeting of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1, which clinically has proven effective but only in certain clinical situations. Interference with 5-lipoxygenase has had limited success, in part due to adverse drug effects. The importance of the LTB4-BLT1 pathway in asthma pathogenesis has extensive experimental support and findings, albeit limited, from clinical samples. The LTB4-BLT1 pathway was shown to be important as a neutrophil chemoattractant. Despite observations made more than two decades ago, the LTB4-BLT1 pathway has only recently been shown to exhibit important activities on subsets of T lymphocytes, both as a chemoattractant and on lymphocyte activation, as well as on dendritic cells, the major antigen presenting cell in the lung. The role of BLT2 in asthma remains unclear. Targeting of components of the LTB4-BLT1 pathway offers innovative therapeutic opportunities especially in patients with asthma that remain uncontrolled despite intensive corticosteroid treatment.

    Abstract Diagnosis and management of asthma is commonly implemented based on clinical assessment. Although these nonmolecular biomarkers have been useful, limited resolution of the heterogeneity among asthmatic patients and little information regarding the underlying pathobiology of disease in individuals have been provided. Molecular endotying using global transcriptome expression profiling associated with clinical features of asthma has improved our understanding of disease mechanisms, risk assessment of asthma exacerbations, and treatment responses, especially in patients with type 2 inflammation. Further advances in establishing pathobiological subgroups, bioactive pathways, and true disease endotypes hold potential for a more personalized medical approach in asthmatic patients.
