Lysophosphatidylcholine 18:2 exacerbates Th17-dominant inflammation in obese asthma

Our findings highlight LPC 18:2 as a potential metabolic regulator that may link obesity-associated lipid disturbances to pathological Th17-skewed immune responses. Modulation of LPC 18:2-related pathways may therefore represent a novel therapeutic strategy for this asthma phenotype.

Abstract

Our findings highlight LPC 18:2 as a potential metabolic regulator that may link obesity-associated lipid disturbances to pathological Th17-skewed immune responses. Modulation of LPC 18:2-related pathways may therefore represent a novel therapeutic strategy for this asthma phenotype.
