In 2006, Izuhara et al. [5] first identified that periostin is a downstream molecule of interleukin-4/-13 (IL-4/13), signature cytokines of type 2 inflammation, signalling, and first reported its relationship to allergic diseases, observing the accumulation of periostin in thickened basement membranes of bronchial epithelial cells in asthma patients. Here, POSTN is linked to asthma.
