1 "Role for β2ar biased signaling to address the β-agonist controversy in asthma" Julia K. L. Walker, Ph.D. Professor in Duke University School of Nursing and Pulmonary Medicine Support provided by NHLBI & NIAID: R01HL084123, R01HL093103, R01AI079236, 1R01-AI110007

2 New perspectives on the β-agonist Outline controversy in asthma Asthma: signs and symptoms Beta-2-adrenergic receptors (β2ar) and β-agonists The β-agonist controversy Results from animal models Dual signalling pathways of β2ar New therapeutic opportunities

3 Dual β 2 AR Signaling Pathways β-agonist βarrestin β2ar Gs AC MAPK camp??? reduced Ca ++ Dickey, Walker, Hanania, Bond. COPhar 10(3): 254-9, 2010 Promote inflammation & AHR Reduce ASM contraction

4 Asthma Review

5 Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder Influx of inflammatory cells (Th2 & Eos) Increased mucin production and secretion Airway remodeling Airway hyperresponsiveness (twitchy) Reversible airway obstruction Cough, wheeze, shortness of breath

6 Picture of asthma attack airway Jeffery,P.K., Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., 164: S28-S38, 2001

7 FEV1 and Methacholine PC 20 FEV1: forced expired volume in 1 second PC 20 methacholine: Airway hyperresponsiveness indicator Baseline FEV1 is measured Inhale aerosolized escalating doses of MCh, measure FEV1 MCh dose at which FEV1 has declined 20% from baseline The more hyperresponsive a patient is, the lower the PC 20

8 Murine Asthma Model Methods & Measurements OVA = ovalbumin

9 Airway hyperresponsiveness predicts asthma severity and future risk in humans.

10 The Controversy Surrounding β 2 AR agonist use in Asthma Review β 2 AR

18 The Controversy Surrounding β 2 AR use in Asthma

19 β-agonist treatment in asthma: SABAs and LABAs Short Acting Beta Agonists (SABAs) used for immediate relief of bronchospasm Rapid onset of action, but short duration albuterol ie., ventolin, bricanyl Long Acting Beta Agonists (LABAs) ~ 12 h effect Inhaled twice daily (in combination with ICS) Bronchodilation BPE reduces bronchoconstriction Salmeterol (Advair) & Formoterol (Symbicort)

20 Deleterious Effects of Chronic Inhaled ß2- agonist use in Asthmatics (Short-acting) Epidemic of asthma deaths followed introduction of: high-dose isoproterenol in the UK, 1960s fenoterol in New Zealand, late 1970s Regular use of short-acting inhaled ß2-agonists: increases airway responsiveness to allergen increases asthma morbidity reduces effectiveness of rescue ß2-agonist Short-acting ß2-agonist for RESCUE ONLY

21 Controversy surrounding LABA use concerns about mortality risk Salmeterol Nationwide Surveillance Study (1993) Salmeterol Multicenter Asthma Research Trial (2003) functional β2ar tachyphylaxis (Newnham et al., 1994; 1995; Grove and Lipworth, 1995), deterioration of asthma control (Sears, 2002; Salpeter et al.,2006) death (Stolley and Schinnar, 1978; Spitzer et al., 1992; Pearce et al., 1995). no adverse events of chronic beta-agonism (Drazen et al., 1996; Dennis et al., 2000; Bateman et al., 2008)

22 Controversy Surrounding LABA use in Asthma Results of FDA randomized, double-blind, controlled clinical trials - LABA + ICS avoids adverse asthma events Stempel et al., 2016 NEJM vol 374:pg 1822 Stempel et al., 2016 NEJM vol 375:pg 840 The four studies supported the decision to remove the Boxed WARNING retain a Warning and Precaution related to the increased risk of asthma-related death when LABAs are used without an ICS to treat asthma.

23 Nature, Nov. 4, 2004 To say a drug may not kill you if you take enough of a second drug is hardly a ringing endorsement for the first drug. - Richard Bond

Genetic profiles must: therapeutic responsiveness, adverse responses, gene-gene interactions (LABA + ICS), drug metabolism, consider severity subgroups and appropriateness of response.
