ABSTRACT
Periostin is a matricellular protein that is deeply involved in type-2/eosinophilic airway inflammation and remodeling in asthma. While its expression in airway epithelial cells is correlated with the thickness of airway basement membrane, more importantly, periostin can be detected stably in blood with little variability, reflecting airway type-2 inflammation and remodeling. As for a result, serum periostin can serve as a valuable marker to identify patients with type-2 severe asthma who are insensitive to inhaled corticosteroids, and consequently have the excess decline of pulmonary function with asthma exacerbations. Serum periostin may significantly help to improve management of patients with severe asthma.
