Asthma is a common worldwide disease with a prevalence of 5 to 10% [1]. A health condition that is characterized by chronic course of remission and exacerbation. Asthma is a heterogeneous respiratory inflammatory disease driven by immune responses and with different phenotypes and endotypes [2, 3]. Asthma is not a single entity and it is a heterogenic syndrome [4].Although, an extensive studies performed to illustrate the role of different cytokines and chemokines in induction of asthma pathogenesis; however, still there is uncovered sites in asthma pathogenesis. The outcomes of previous studies indicated that a large network of cytokines and chemokines are involved in inflammatory and immunologic responses [5, 6] in asthma with subsequent airway remodeling [7].
