3 Fig 1 Expression of TH2/TH17-inducing cytokines in BAL fluid from patients with 3 immunophenotypes of asthma. BAL fluid from patients with TH2/-predominant (n = 22), TH2/TH17-predominant (n = 16), and TH2/TH17-low (n = 22) asthma were assayed for IL-1α (A), IL-1β (B), IL-6 (C), and IL-23 (D) by means of ELISA. Each symbol represents a single patient. P values are shown above the graphs.

4 Fig 2 DAMPs in 3 immunophenotypes of asthma. Levels of C3a (A), serum amyloid A (B), and uric acid (C) in BAL fluid were measured in patients with TH2-predominant (n = 22), TH2/TH17-predominant (n = 16), and TH2/TH17-low (n = 22) asthma. Each symbol represents a single patient. P values are shown above the graphs.

5 Fig 3 A, Correlation of cytokine and DAMP levels with TH2/TH17 cell counts. B, Correlation of IL-1β levels with TH2/TH17 cell counts. C, Correlation of IL-1β levels with C3a levels. D, Expression of IL1R and phospho-p38 MAPK in IL-4+ (TH2), IL-17+ (TH17), IL-4/IL-17+ (TH2/TH17), and total cells. BAL fluid cells from asthmatic patients were analyzed by using flow cytometry for expression of CD4 and intracellular IL-4, IL-17, IL-1R, and phospho-p38 MAPK. *P < .04 (n = 6). E, Inhibition of TH2/TH17 cells by using anakinra. BAL fluid cells were cultured with increasing concentrations of anakinra for 3 days and then analyzed for dual IL-4/IL-17+ CD4 T cells by using flow cytometry. Each symbol represents an asthmatic patient. P values (on the top of the graph) were calculated by using the Kruskal-Wallis test. F, Inhibition of phospho-p38 MAPK in BAL T cells by anakinra. BAL cells were cultured with anakinra for 24 hours and then examined for expression of phospho-p38 MAPK in CD4 T cells by using flow cytometry. Each symbol represents an asthmatic patient. P values were calculated by using the Kruskal-Wallis test.

6 Fig 4 BAL fluid neutrophils in various immunophenotypes of asthma. A, BAL fluid neutrophils in patients with TH2-predominant (n = 22), TH2/TH17-predominant (n = 16), and TH2/TH17-low (n = 22) asthma. Flow cytometric detection of IL-4+ and IL-4/IL-17 dual-positive BAL CD4 T cells was performed, and the immunophenotype was assigned, as reported in Irvin et al.11 B and C, BAL fluid myeloperoxidase (Fig 4, B) and IL-8 (Fig 4, C) levels in patients with TH2-predominant, TH2/TH17-predominant, and TH2/TH17-low asthma. D, Correlation of BAL fluid neutrophil counts and IL-8 levels in patients with TH2/TH17-low asthma. E, Effect of type 2 cytokines on IL-8 production. Airway epithelial BEAS-2B cells were cultured with increasing concentrations of IL-4 and IL-13 for 3 days, and the culture supernatant was assayed for IL-8 by using ELISA. **P < .05 (n = 4). F, Correlation between IL-4 and IL-8 levels in BAL fluid from all 3 study groups (n = 42).

7 Fig 5 A-C, Comparison of levels of IL-17A (Fig 5, A), GM-CSF (Fig 5, B), and G-CSF (Fig 5, C) in BAL fluid from patients with TH2-predominant, TH2/TH17-predominant, and TH2/TH17-low asthma. D, Effect of cytokines/mediators on epithelial IL-8 production. Freshly isolated human bronchial epithelial cells (HBE) and BEAS-2B cells were cultured with various cytokines/mediators (10 ng/mL) singly or in combination for 3 days. The BEAS-2B cell cultures were primed with a subthreshold dose of LPS (0.25 μg/mL). Culture supernatants were assayed for IL-8 by means of ELISA. *P < .05 (n = 4). E, Freshly isolated human bronchial epithelial cells were cultured with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or SB (10 μmol/L) in the presence of IL-1α (10 ng/mL) for 3 days. Culture supernatant was assayed for IL-8 by using ELISA. *P < .05 (n = 3).

BAL cells were gated for CD4+ cells and analyzed for expression of IL-4 and IL-17.
