Glucocorticoid (GC) is currently the most effective drug for controlling persistent asthma; however, there is a significant difference in the response to GC among patients with asthma. Steroid-resistant asthma is one of the subtypes of asthma and has poor response to high-dose GC treatment. It may affect the quality of life of patients and even threaten their lives. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the pathogenesis of steroid-resistant asthma and related targeted treatment strategy. In recent years, a variety of pathogeneses have been found to participate in the development and progression of steroid-resistant asthma, including the reduction in the binding between GC receptor and GC, the increase in the expression of GC receptor β, over-activation of nuclear transcription factor activating protein 1 and nuclear factor-κB, abnormality in histone acetylation, and immune-mediated cytokine dysregulation. In addition, many studies have shown that vitamin D can improve the sensitivity to GC among patients with steroid-resistant asthma. This article reviews the pathogenesis of steroid-resistant asthma and the influence of vitamin D.
