Article Abstract
Introduction: Fatty acid metabolism plays a crucial role in regulating airway inflammation through the synthesis of lipid mediators. We have previously demonstrated that a 12/15-lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX or Alox15)-derived mediator attenuates IL-33-induced eosinophilic airway inflammation in mice. However, the cellular sources of these mediators remain unclear.
Methods: To identify the cellular sources, we used several cell type-specific conditional 12/15-LOX-deficient mice.
Results: We found that eosinophils and pleural macrophages were the major 12/15-LOX-expressing cell types responsible for attenuating airway inflammation. Eosinophils were the major population of 12/15-LOX-expressing cells found in inflamed lung tissue. In addition, pleural macrophages were the major population of 12/15-LOX-expressing cells in the thoracic cavity and were found to translocate into inflamed lung tissue in response to airway inflammation.
Discussion: This study suggests that eosinophils and pleural macrophages cooperatively regulate eosinophilic airway inflammation via 12/15-LOX expression. Targeting 12/15-LOX metabolism in these cells may offer new therapeutic strategies for severe asthma.

In obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), repeated airway obstruction alters mucosal inflammation, which increases exhaled nitric oxide (NO) production in the nasal cavity. However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Accordingly, we aimed to examine the mechanism underlying NO production in patients with OSA.

Introduction: Rhinovirus (RV) is the leading cause of exacerbations of lung disease. A sensory neuronal model, derived from human dental pulp stem cells and differentiated into peripheral neuronal equivalents (PNEs), was used to examine RV's effects on airway sensory nerves. We investigated whether RV can directly infect and alter PNEs or whether it exerts effects indirectly via the release of mediators from infected epithelial cells.

Introduction: Preserved ratio impaired spirometry (PRISm) is an important phenotype of pulmonary function in clinical and public health practice. It is possible for some patients to have chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at an early stage. At present there is little research on the association of PRISm with type 2 (T2) inflammation biomarkers.

Background: Pulmonary neuroendocrine cells (PNECs) are specialized airway epithelial cells with dual sensory and secretory functions. They release bioactive mediators --including neuropeptides such as calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), and neurotransmitters such as 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) --that regulate airway smooth-muscle tone, mucus production, and immune responses. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), these PNEC-derived mediators contribute to airway inflammation, remodeling, and smooth-muscle dysfunction.

Purpose: Asthma and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) are two respiratory diseases that often may coexist, resulting in Alternative Overlap Syndrome (aOVS), which is still underestimated and underdiagnosed.
Objectives: This state-of-art review aims to describe the current evidence on aOVS, including its pathophysiology, clinical, functional and therapeutic implications. A secondary objective is to assess whether aOVS can be identified as a distinct endophenotype needing personalized diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
