Extract
Congratulations to Van Hulstet al.for their article on the influence of interleukin (IL)-5 blockade on blood eosinophils in severe asthma [1]. In their discussion, the authors state that it is unclear if ‘increased stimulation-induced expression of Suppressor Of Cytokine Signaling-3 (SOCS3) in eosinophils in IL-5-depleted conditions has biological consequences’. However, their data can be linked to that of Sekiet al.[2] and McDowellet al. [3] to speculate that the signal for stronger IL-33-mediated induction of SOCS3 becomes clinically relevant at the time of a mepolizumab-emergent asthma attack.
