While CXCL1, CXCL2, and CXCL5 gene transcripts were shown to be elevated in a mouse model of severe asthma, treatment with Ruxolitinib, an anti-inflammatory drug and powerful inhibitor of janus kinase 1/2 (JAK1/2), caused the upward spiraling to be reversed [43]. This evidence concerns the gene CXCL1 and asthma.
