摘要：

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease in which various cytokines orchestrate airway inflammation. Tumor necrosis alpha (TNF-alpha) is a proinflammatory cytokine that has been implicated in the modulation of inflammation in various diseases, including asthma. Although TNF-alpha blocking strategies have been an effective therapeutic modality in diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, their role in asthma and the effects of the blockade in asthma is poorly understood. This article examines the role of TNF-alpha in asthma and the effects of blocking TNF-alpha as a possible therapeutic option in patients with severe corticosteroid-dependent asthma.
