Abstract
Asthma is a chronic, complex, and heterogeneous respiratory condition marked by airway hyperresponsiveness and reversible airflow limitation. Recent evidence highlights the significant role of metabolic changes, particularly glycolytic reprogramming, in the pathogenesis of asthma. Glycolysis, a fundamental pathway for both anaerobic and aerobic oxidation, not only generates adenosine triphosphate (ATP) but also supplies substrates for lipid-based ATP storage. While initially studied in the context of cancer, glycolysis has been associated with asthma through its interplay with programmed cell death, which is crucial in asthma pathophysiology. This study offers a comprehensive overview of current research on glycolytic reprogramming in asthma, emphasizing its potential implications and significance. The findings aim to inform future studies and contribute to the development of asthma-related precision medicine. A deeper understanding of the interplay between glycolysis and the development and progression of asthma may facilitate the development of innovative therapeutic approaches for this complex condition.
