After baseline bronchoscopy and bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), subjects were randomized to budesonide (400 \u03bc g, twice daily) or placebo treatment for 4 wk. At the end of each treatment phase, whole-lung allergen inhalation challenge was performed, followed by BAL 48 h later. Budesonide treatment improved the FEV1, attenuated both the immediate- and late-phase response to allergen, and prevented the increase in bronchial hyperresponsiveness after allergen challenge. Budesonide treatment also decreased allergen-induced airway eosinophilia. To determine the effects of budesonide on airway cell function, BAL cells were stimulated ex vivo with the T cell mitogen PHA, and cytokine generation was measured by ELISA. Budesonide decreased ex vivo generation of IL-5 and IFN- \u03b3 by BAL cells. Ex vivo IL-5 production was significantly correlated with the number of airway eosinophils (rs = 0.61), and levels of eosinophil-derived neurotoxin (EDN) (rs = 0.57) and IL-5 (rs = 0.52) in BAL fluid. Moreover, PHA-induced IL-5 generation correlated with FEV1 fall during the late-phase response to allergen (rs = 0.60). Budesonide decreased circulating eosinophils and serum levels of IL-5, but did not reduce IL-5 generation by peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The reduction in circulating eosinophils correlated with the decrease in levels of EDN (rs = 0.61) in BAL fluid and late response to inhaled allergen (rs = 0.51). These findings suggest that long-term treatment with inhaled budesonide reduces airway cell generation of cytokines, specifically IL-5, which then decreases circulating eosinophils and their availability for recruitment to the airway after allergen exposure.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1164\/ajrccm.162.3.9910077","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,4]],"date-time":"2013-04-04T14:23:40Z","timestamp":1365085420000},"page":"883-890","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["Inhaled Budesonide Decreases Airway Inflammatory Response to Allergen"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"162","author":[{"given":"ELIZABETH A.","family":"BECKY KELLY","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary and Critical Care Section and Allergy and Immunology Section of the Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"WILLIAM W.","family":"BUSSE","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary and Critical Care Section and Allergy and Immunology Section of the Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"NIZAR N.","family":"JARJOUR","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Pulmonary and Critical Care Section and Allergy and Immunology Section of the Department of Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Wisconsin"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026032708263068900_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S5","DOI":"10.1016\/S0091-6749(98)70001-6","article-title":"Effects of inhaled corticosteroids on the consequences of asthma.","volume":"102","author":"Boushey","year":"1998","journal-title":"J.
