Tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has a potential role in allergic asthma [1,2]. TRAIL induces apoptosis in a variety of cells thereby resolving inflammation [1,3]. Conversely, TRAIL has been shown to promote eosinophil survival in patients with asthma following segmental antigen challenge, thus resolving asthma inflammation [2]. These counteracting effects suggest divergent roles for TRAIL in lung diseases [4].
Subjects with asthma were divided into high and low TRAIL groups. Samples were obtained from sputum, bronchoalveolar lavage, and bronchoscopy biopsies. High TRAIL subjects had lower maximal forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) percentage predicted compared with low TRAIL subjects (P=0.043), indicating lower lung function. Moreover, the high TRAIL group had a greater proportion of subjects with exacerbations provoked by physical activity (P=0.050). Increases in leukocytes were found in the high TRAIL group (P<0.001), associated with increased inflammatory proteins, including type 1, type 2, and type 17 cytokines. However, no increase in interleukin 9 was observed. Sputum cells had increased TRAIL decoy receptor R3/DcR1 compared with death receptor R1/DR4 (P=0.006) (see Figure), suggesting reduced apoptosis and prolonged cellular inflammation [3]. This may prolong airway inflammation, even in stable disease state. Higher sputum TRAIL levels were associated with 2 specific alleles for known single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the TRAIL gene, providing further support to haplotype analysis associating TRAIL with asthma [5].
In conclusion, TRAIL appears associated with lower lung function and increased healthcare utilisation [6], characteristics typical for more severe asthma.
