The C-C motif chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5), CCL11, and CCL24 are involved in the pathogenesis of asthma, and their function is mainly associated with the airway recruitment of eosinophils. This study tested their ability to induce the migration of circulating fibrocytes, which may contribute to the development of irreversible airflow obstruction in severe asthma. The sputum fluid phase (SFP) from patients with severe/treatment-refractory asthma (PwSA) contained elevated concentrations of CCL5, CCL11, and CCL24 in comparison with the SFP from patients with non-severe/treatment-responsive asthma (PwNSA). The circulating fibrocytes from PwSA expressed the receptors for these chemokines at increased levels and migrated in response to recombinant CCL5, CCL11, and CCL24. The SFP from PwSA induced the migration of autologous fibrocytes, and its activity was significantly attenuated by neutralization of endogenous CCL5, CCL11, and CCL24. These findings suggest that CCL5, CCL11, and CCL24 may contribute to the airway recruitment of fibrocytes in severe asthma.

Filling the Gap Until Full Vaccine Deployment in the War on Coronavirus Disease-19

Sabrina Mattoli

Summary: Emergency use authorization for COVID-19 vaccines has been issued in various countries, with the possibility of more approvals in the future. While mass vaccination may be achievable in some Western countries by the end of 2021, challenges such as insufficient supplies, unequal access, and lack of community engagement may hinder global vaccination coverage within 2-3 years. One potential strategy to address this gap is integrating improved non-pharmaceutical measures and authorized pharmaceutical interventions to reduce hospitalizations and deaths during anticipated infection peaks in the coming months.

Summary: Serious respiratory virus infections like influenza and COVID-19 are associated with a dysregulated immune response and systemic inflammation. Current treatments that target immunological/inflammatory dysfunction have shown some success, but the need for mechanical ventilation and the risk of death remain high. There is a need for new therapies to improve outcomes for hospitalized patients with severe respiratory virus infections who do not respond to current treatments.
