Targets

Key to terms and symbols

ACKR1
Comments:	ACKR1 may play a role in the temporal regulation of asthma pathophysiology and symptoms.

MMP2
Comments:	MMP2 and MMP9 can promote the egress of inflammatory cells into airway lumen, suggesting a protective anti-inflammatory role in asthma. MMP2/MMP9 gelatinolytic activity is elevated in the sputum of asthmatic patients

MMP8
Comments:	MMP8 plays a protective role in asthma by promoting the clearance of recruited neutrophils.

MMP9
Comments:	MMP2 and MMP9 can promote the egress of inflammatory cells into airway lumen, suggesting a protective anti-inflammatory role in asthma. MMP2/MMP9 gelatinolytic activity is elevated in the sputum of asthmatic patients.

MMP12
Comments:	a common serine variant of the MMP12 gene in human (rs652438) causes more aggressive extracellular matrix degradation and is positively associated with disease severity. Thus MMP12 is a drug target for novel asthma therapeutics.

ADAM33
Comments:	ADAM33 is implicated in the pathology of asthma.

epidermal growth factor receptor
Role:	Although EGFR signalling is an important pathway in bronchial epithelial repair, its dysregulation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma (Holgate, 2000). Over-expression of EGFR and its ligands by airway epithelial cells have been seen in patients with asthma in relation to disease severity (Amishima et al., 1998; Enomoto et al., 2009). There is also evidence that the asthmatic airway epithelium challenged with EGF can enhance the production of pro-survival and pro-migratory factors for neutrophils that may contribute to airway mucosal inflammation in severe asthma (Uddin et al., 2013).

Clinical Use: Dupilumab was originally evaluated as a treatment for atopic allergic conditions, including asthma [92], atopic dermatitis (AD) and nasal polyposis [7]. A list of trials registered at ClinicalTrials.gov is available here. The first full regulatory approval for dupilumab was granted by the FDA in March 2017 and this was for the treatment of moderate-to-severe eczema (atopic dermatitis). The EMA granted this same approval in August 2017. In October 2018, FDA approval was expanded to encompass the treatment of patients with eosinophilic type or oral corticosteroid-dependent moderate-to-severe asthma. June 2019 saw FDA approval expanded to include treatment of patients with uncontrolled chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis. \| View clinical data Bioactivity Comments: Affinity data in the table below is taken from patent US7608693 [56], using antibody clone H4H098P as a representative example of the embodiment of the patent.

benralizumab			24
Immuno Disease Comments: Approved drug for severe eosinophilic asthma. Clinical Use: In November 2017, the US FDA approved benralizumab as an add-on maintenance treatment for patients with severe eosinophilic phenotype asthma (aged 12 years and older). EMA marketing approval is pending a final decision, with their Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP) having recommended marketing authorisation on 9th November 2017 [27]. Results from Phase 3 clinical trial NCT01914757 are published in [31]. Analysis of trial outcomes show that not all asthma patients will respond to benralizumab, but that in patients with high eosinophil counts (> 300 cells per μL) annual exacerbation rates were significantly reduced. These suggest that targeting the biologic to specific patient populations will provide most clinical benefit. Click here to view ClinicalTrials.gov's listing of current benralizumab trials.

IL-6			30,62,90,94
Immuno Disease Comments: IL-6 is an important regulator of immune responses and has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. Genome-wide association studies have revealed that genes specific to IL-6 signalling are associated with an increased asthma risk (Ferreira et al., 2011). Increased levels of IL-6 have been reported in the serum of patients with asthma (Yokoyama et al., 1995). Sputum concentrations of IL-6 show an inverse relationship with lung function in asthmatics (Morjaria et al., 2011). Elevated lung epithelial IL-6 levels have been detected in asthmatic patients with increasing disease severity and are probably a characteristic of the pathobiological processes in mucosal airway inflammation in severe asthma (Uddin et al., 2013).
