Blood Eosinophils Subtypes and Their Survivability in Asthma Patients.
Andrius Januškevičius,Egle Jurkeviciute,Ieva Janulaityte,Virginija Kalinauskaite-Zukauske,Skaidrius Miliauskas,Kęstutis Malakauskas +5 more
TL;DR: It is found that the predominant blood eosinophil subtype in AA patients was iEOS, while rEOS prevailed in SNEA patients (p < 0.05), which provides the premise for eOSinophils subtype-oriented asthma treatment.
Serum levels of epithelial‐derived mediators and interleukin‐4/interleukin‐13 signaling after bronchial challenge with Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus in patients with allergic asthma
Virginija Kalinauskaite-Zukauske,Ieva Janulaityte,Andrius Januškevičius,Kęstutis Malakauskas +3 more
TL;DR: The epithelial‐derived mediators IL‐25, TSLP and ezrin, via IL4/IL13 signaling, enhance type 2 inflammation after bronchial challenge with D. pteronyssinus in patients with allergic asthma.

The Enhanced Adhesion of Eosinophils Is Associated with Their Prolonged Viability and Pro-Proliferative Effect in Asthma.
Andrius Januškevičius,Ieva Janulaityte,Virginija Kalinauskaite-Zukauske,Reinoud Gosens,Kęstutis Malakauskas +4 more
TL;DR: It is found that increased adhesion of eosinophils was associated with prolonged viability and an enhanced pro-proliferative effect on ASM cells and pulmonary fibroblasts in asthma (p < 0.05), and eos inophils from SNEA patients demonstrated higher viability and inhibition of pulmonary structural cell apoptosis, compared to the AA group.
Asthmatic Eosinophils Promote Contractility and Migration of Airway Smooth Muscle Cells and Pulmonary Fibroblasts In Vitro.
Ieva Janulaityte,Andrius Januškevičius,Virginija Kalinauskaite-Zukauske,Jolita Palacionyte,Kęstutis Malakauskas +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, the role of eosinophils in airway remodeling in asthma has been investigated using qRT-PCR, and the authors found that the allergen-activated eosinsophils significantly increased the contractility and migration of airway smooth muscle cells (ASMC) and PF.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors used federated analysis to compare the real-world effectiveness of mepolizumab on asthma exacerbations and maintenance oral glucocorticoid (OCS) use in severe asthma patients across Europe.
