We examined levels of hyaluronan, a matrix glycosaminoglycan and versican, a matrix proteoglycan, in the sputum of asthmatics treated with mepolizumab (anti-IL-5 mAb) versus placebo to evaluate the utility of these measurements as possible biomarkers of asthma control and airway remodeling. Severe, prednisone-dependent asthmatics received either mepolizumab or placebo as described in a previously published randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study. We measured hyaluronan and versican levels by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sputum collected before and after the 16-week treatment phase. Patients underwent a predefined prednisone tapering schedule if they remained exacerbation free and sputum eosinophil percentage, asthma control questionnaire (ACQ) and spirometry were monitored. After 6 months of mepolizumab therapy and prednisone tapering there was a significant increase in sputum hyaluronan in the placebo group compared with baseline (P=0.003). In contrast, there was a significant decrease in sputum hyaluronan in the active treatment group compared with placebo (P=0.007) which correlated with improvements in FEV1% (P=0.001) and ACQ scores (P=0.009) as well as a decrease in sputum eosinophils (P=0.02). There was a non-significant increase in sputum versican in the placebo group (P=0.16), a decrease in the mepolizumab group (P=0.13) and a significant inverse correlation between versican reduction and FEV1% improvement (P=0.03). Sputum hyaluronan values are reduced with mepolizumab therapy and correlate with improved clinical and spirometry values suggesting this measurement may serve as a non-invasive biomarker of asthma control.
