The cause of corticosteroid resistant asthma is unknown. To perform gene microarray analyses using BAL cells from well-characterized corticosteroid resistant (CR) and sensitive (CS) asthmatics to elucidate the differential expression of genes that contribute to the development of corticosteroid resistance. The patients were characterized as CR or CS based on FEV1% predicted improvement after one week course of oral prednisone. Expression of selected gene targets was verified by real time PCR and by ELISA. Microarray analyses demonstrated significantly higher levels (over three-fold increase, p<0.05) of transcripts for TNFα, IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-6, CXCL1, CXCL2, CXCL3, CXCL8 (IL-8), CCL3, CCL4, CCL20 in BAL cells of CR asthmatics. These findings, confirmed by RT-PCR in additional BAL samples, were consistent with classical macrophage activation by bacterial products. In contrast, markers of alternatively-activated macrophages, Arginase I and CCL24, were decreased. Genes associated with activation of the LPS signaling pathway (EGR1, DUSP2, MAIL, TNFAIP3) were significantly elevated in CR BAL samples (p<0.05). These patients had significantly higher amounts (1444.0±457.3 pg per mg of total protein) of LPS in BAL fluid than CS asthmatics (270.5±216.0 pg; p<0.05) as detected by LAL assay and confirmed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry analysis. Pronged exposure to LPS induced functional steroid resistance to dexamethasone (DEX) in normal monocytes, demonstrated by persistently elevated IL-6 levels in the presence of DEX. Classical macrophage activation and induction of LPS signaling pathways along with high endotoxin levels detected in BAL fluid from CR asthmatics suggest that LPS exposure may contribute to CR asthma.
