These findings suggest that tiotropium attenuates ILC2-dependent airway inflammation by suppressing IL-4 production from basophils and, subsequently, regulating ILC2 activation. The inhibitory effects of long-acting muscarinic antagonists on the innate response may contribute to reducing asthma exacerbation.
