Correlation of inflammatory markers of disease with sputum neutrophilia in severe asthma
Correlation of inflammatory markers of disease with sputum neutrophilia in severe asthma
Introduction: Sputum inflammometry has been used to describe asthma phenotypes and severe asthma is associated with neutrophilia based on the percentage of cells present. Sputum density is not accounted for in clinical practice.
Methods: Induced sputum was obtained from 110 severe asthmatics (BTS step 4/5) of the Wessex Severe Asthma Cohort. Inflammatory biological markers were measured in sputum supernatant with Multiplex ELISA. Biomarker concentrations were compared to sputum neutrophil density using Spearmans correlation.
Results: The median [IQR] cell number (x 106/g sputum) was significantly lower in P phenotype (n=41 0.64 [0.96]) than N (n=29 2.1 [2.6] (p<0.0005)), E (n=33 1.6[2.9] (p=0.002) and M (n=7 1.8[6.7] (p=0.037)). See table 1. View this table:Table 1 Correlation of sputum neutrophil counts with inflammatory markers
Conclusions: The supernatant measures of MCP1, MIP-1α, TNFα, Eotaxin, GRO α and IL-13 are indicative of the altered biology underlying increased numbers of neutrophils. Relative changes of these markers in response to therapy will help the understanding of the impact of intervention on the biology underlying severe asthma.

Inflammatory biological markers were measured in sputum supernatant with Multiplex ELISA. Biomarker concentrations were compared to sputum neutrophil density using Spearmans correlation.
Results: The median [IQR] cell number (x 106/g sputum) was significantly lower in P phenotype (n=41 0.64 [0.96]) than N (n=29 2.1 [2.6] (p<0.0005)), E (n=33 1.6[2.9] (p=0.002) and M (n=7 1.8[6.7] (p=0.037)). See table 1. View this table:Table 1 Correlation of sputum neutrophil counts with inflammatory markers
Conclusions: The supernatant measures of MCP1, MIP-1α, TNFα, Eotaxin, GRO α and IL-13 are indicative of the altered biology underlying increased numbers of neutrophils. Relative changes of these markers in response to therapy will help the understanding of the impact of intervention on the biology underlying severe asthma.
