OBJECTIVE: Severe steroid hyporesponsive asthma is a heterogeneous group of chronic inflammatory diseases characterized by irreversible airflow limitation, hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, and remodelling of the airways. Severe asthmatics account for more than 60% of asthma-related healthcare cost worldwide given they are hyporesponsive to corticosteroids and due to the absence of targeted treatment specifically for the T helper-17 (Th-17) high endotype. Hence, there is a clear unmet need to investigate other treatment options to control patients' symptoms. The role of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway has been highlighted in the literature to contribute to disease pathogenesis and severity. Interestingly, vitamin D3 is an important regulator of the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway.
METHODS: Using house dust mite (HDM) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), we induced a neutrophilic steroid hyporesponsive asthma mouse model to investigate the effect of vitamin D3 on downregulating the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway and enhancing steroid sensitivity.
RESULTS: We showed that calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3, could downregulate the NLRP3 inflammasome pathway. This was associated with a significant reduction in airway hyperresponsiveness, IL-17 release, neutrophil infiltration, and mucus secretion. Further, calcitriol enhanced steroid sensitivity by inhibiting the expression of GR-β. Mechanistically, calcitriol targeted the NLRP3 inflammasome to ubiquitination.
CONCLUSIONS: Our research highlights the potential use of calcitriol as a low cost and accessible supplement to ameliorate airway inflammation during severe steroid hyporesponsive asthma.
