Periostin: Update on Clinical Use
WISC2014 Biomarkers in Asthma: Helping Diagnosis and Treatment
12/8/2014
Heterogeneity of bronchial asthma
Age of onset (Early onset vs. Late onset)
Existence of obesity
Inflammatory cells (Eosinophil-dominant vs. Neutrophil-dominant)
IgE-dependency (Atopic vs. Non-atopic)
Responsiveness to ICS (Good vs. Poor)
The status and the problems of the treatment
using ICS or anti-IgE antibody (Omalizumab)
・ICS is effective and has significantly decreased deaths from asthma
・But 5-10% of the patients are resistant or hypo-responsive
Adcock, J Endocrinol, 2003
・61% of severe asthma patients show improvement of QOL
・Serum IgE cannot predict the responsiveness
Bousquet, Respr Med, 2007
・Expensive cost

Characteristics pf periostin in bronchial asthma
1. A novel component of thickened basement membrane downstream
of IL-13 signals
2. A surrogate biomarker of type 2 immune responses
3. A companion diagnostic for antagonists against type 2 immune responses

Periostin deposition is associated with 20-year decline of
pulmonary function in asthma patients
Periostin
Why is periostin useful as a biomarker?
Easily moves from the lesions to blood
Basal concentration in blood is appropriate (periostin: 10-90 ng/ml)
not too high (fibronectin/vitronectin: ~100 mg/ml)
not too low (cytokines: ~10 pg/ml)
A kit with low detection limit (20 pg/ml) is available
Serum periostin levels are associated
with DFEV1 decline in asthma patients
