Purpose: B cell-activating factor (BAFF) is a tumor-necrosis factor

(TNF) superfamily member best known for its role in the survival and

maturation of B cells. BAFF activity is observed in na?e cells as well

as in effector/memory T cells. We aimed to explore whether BAFF

in sputum is expressed at elevated levels in asthmatic airways and

associated with eosinophilic inflammation, pulmonary function, and

bronchial hyperresponsiveness in children.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-four asthmatic children and 98

healthy children were enrolled in the study. Sputum supernatants were

collected and sputum BAFF and eosinophil cationic protein (ECP)

levels were measured. We performed pulmonary function tests and

methacholine challenge tests, while measuring total eosinophil count,

total serum IgE, and serum ECP in all subjects.

Results: Asthmatic children had significantly higher levels of BAFF in

induced sputum [26.50 (10.50-100.27) pg/mL] compared to healthy

children [18.32 (7.68-44.63) pg/mL; P=0.011]. Sputum BAFF positively

correlated with sputum eosinophils (γ=0.406, P<0.001) and sputum

ECP (γ=0.789, P<0.001). Significant negative correlations were

found between sputum BAFF and FEV1 (γ=-0.291, P<0.001) or postbronchodilator

FEV1 (γ=-0.334, P<0.001), whereas nonsignificant

correlations were found between sputum BAFF and bronchial

hyperresponsiveness, serum eosinophil count, and serum ECP.

Conclusion: These findings suggest that BAFF may play a role in

childhood asthma, and BAFF levels in sputum could be a supportive

marker that represents airway inflammation, especially eosinophilic

inflammation.
