Introduction: The development of childhood asthma is caused by a combination genetic factors and environmental exposures. Epigenetics describes mechanisms (heritable) regulation gene expression that occur without changes in DNA sequence. strongly related to aging, cell-type specific, includes methylation, noncoding RNAs, histone modifications.Areas covered: This review summarizes recent epigenetic studies humans, which mostly involve methylation published the five years. Environmental exposures, particular cigarette smoking, have significant impact on changes, but few these signals are also associated with asthma. Several asthma-associated variants relate methylation. Epigenetic can be better understood studying their correlation expression, revealed higher presence activation blood eosinophils Strong associations nasal signatures atopic were identified, replicable across different populations.Expert commentary: markers been asthma, might serve as biomarker causal longitudinal relationships between epigenetics disease, exposures need further investigated.

During the past years, there has been a global outbreak of allergic diseases, presenting considerable medical and socioeconomical burden. A large fraction diseases is characterized by type 2 immune response involving Th2 cells, innate lymphoid eosinophils, mast M2 macrophages. Biomarkers are valuable parameters for precision medicine as they provide information on disease endotypes, clusters, diagnoses, identification therapeutic targets, monitoring treatment efficacies. The availability powerful omics technologies, together with integrated data analysis network-based approaches can help clinically useful biomarkers. These biomarkers need to be accurately quantified using robust reproducible methods, such reliable point-of-care systems. Ideally, samples should collected quick, cost-efficient noninvasive methods. In recent plethora research directed toward finding novel diseases. Promising include sputum serum periostin exhaled nitric oxide. Several other biomarkers, pro-inflammatory mediators, miRNAs, eicosanoid molecules, epithelial barrier integrity, microbiota changes diagnosis in serum, body fluids air. Herein, we review studies asthma, chronic urticaria, atopic dermatitis, rhinitis, rhinosinusitis, food allergies, anaphylaxis, drug hypersensitivity allergen immunotherapy. addition, discuss COVID-19 within perspective recommendations management asthmatic patients during pandemic.

Asthma is a heterogeneous lung disease with variable phenotypes (clinical presentations) and distinctive endotypes (mechanisms). Over the last decade, considerable efforts have been made to dissect cellular molecular mechanisms of asthma. Aberrant T helper type 2 (Th2) inflammation most important pathological process for asthma, which mediated by Th2 cytokines, such as interleukin (IL)-5, IL-4, IL-13. Approximately 50% mild-to-moderate asthma large portion severe induced Th2-dependent inflammation. Th2-low can be non-Th2 including IL-17 tumor necrosis factor-α.

In infiltration adipose tissue by macrophages M1, together an increased expression multiple mediators that amplify propagate inflammation, is considered culprit obesity-related inflammation.

Abstract The epithelial barrier theory links the recent rise in chronic non-communicable diseases, notably autoimmune and allergic disorders, to environmental agents disrupting barrier. Global pollution toxic agent exposure have worsened over six decades because of uncontrolled growth, modernization, industrialization, affecting human health. Introducing new chemicals without any reasonable control their health effects through these years has led documented adverse effects, especially on skin mucosal barriers. These substances, such as particulate matter, detergents, surfactants, food emulsifiers, micro- nano-plastics, diesel exhaust, cigarette smoke, ozone, been shown compromise integrity.

Moreover, allergen sensitization during S. exposure-induced IL-36 was required for development allergen-specific lung inflammation.
