To the Editor, Airway epithelial cells (AECs) play a critical role in lung tissue homeostasis and disease. In asthma, AECs can promote the development of airway inflammation and remodeling through the secretion and regulation of a wide array of mediators, such as arachidonic acid metabolites, growth factors, cytokines, and chemokines. 1 As discussed in a recent review, the dysregulation of metabolic pathways in AECs is highly relevant to asthma. 2 Even though glutamine metabolism is key to multiple biochemical pathways, it has remained understudied. In the present study, we sought to identify genes related to glutamine metabolism that are differentially expressed in patients with severe or T helper 2 (Th2)‐high asthma when compared to healthy controls (HCs).Our group performed a secondary analysis of two publicly available microarray datasets involving fresh bronchial brushing samples. We selected these two datasets as they were available in the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Gene Expression Omnibus (accession numbers GSE43696 and GSE67472), had well‐documented clinical description of asthmatics and airway sampling procedures, included samples from HCs, and were supported by peer‐reviewed PubMed‐indexed publications. 3, 4 In addition, both datasets had sufficient samples from asthmatics and HCs, which enabled us to generate a list of differentially expressed genes after false discovery rate (FDR) significance adjustment. The first dataset (GSE43696) included 38 individuals with severe asthma and 20 HCs. Subjects were determined to have severe asthma based on inhaled or oral corticosteroid use and/or airflow limitation. 4 These samples were processed using the Whole Human Genome Microarray 4 x 44 K (Agilent). The second dataset (GSE67472) included 40 patients with Th2‐high asthma and 43 HCs. Subjects were determined to have Th2‐high asthma based on the expression levels of three interleukin (IL)‐13‐inducible genes in AECs: periostin, serine peptidase inhibitor B2 (SERPINB2), and chloride channel Ca2+‐activated 1 (CLCA1). 3 In this case, the samples were processed using the Human Genome U133 Plus 2.0 Array (Affimetrix). For comparisons between the asthmatic and HC groups, we performed moderated Benjamini‐Hochberg t‐tests (with FDR significance adjustment) and identified all the differentially expressed
