The purpose of this study is to investigate the cytokine levels in nasal lavage and gene expression in nasal scraping following a single nasal dose of JNJ-43260295 in healthy participants, and in atopic mild to mild-persistent asthmatic (breathing disorder in which there is wheezing and difficulty in breathing) participants with and without nasal allergen challenge prior to dosing.
This study consists of 2 parts. In first part, healthy adult participants will receive a single nasal dose of JNJ-43260295 or placebo in a double blind (both the participant and investigator do not know whether participant is assigned to receive study medication or placebo), randomized (study medication or placebo assigned to participants by chance), and placebo-controlled (study in which the experimental treatment or procedure is compared to a placebo) setting. In second part, which will be open label (participants and investigators are aware about the treatment, participants are receiving), atopic participants with mild to mild-persistent asthma will participate in 3 consecutive treatment periods (Period 1, 2, and 3). In Period 1, each participant will receive a single nasal dose of JNJ-43260295 without prior nasal allergen challenge. In Period 2, each participant will receive a single nasal dose of JNJ-43260295, preceded by a nasal allergen challenge approximately 15 hours prior to the JNJ-43260295 dosing. In Period 3, each participant will receive single nasal allergen challenge without JNJ-43260295. There will be a washout period of at least 21 days between 3 consecutive treatment periods. Cytokine levels in nasal lavage and gene expression in nasal scraping will be primarily evaluated during all treatment periods. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Cytokine Levels in Nasal Lavage
Sixteen cytokines will be assessed: interferon alpha (IFN-alpha), IFN-beta, IFN-gamma, IFN-lambda, interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha), IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL 8, IL-10, IL-12p70, IL-13, IL-15, IL-17, IL-23, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), using the 16-plex kit.
Time frame: Up to 48 hours post dose
Gene Expression in Nasal Scrapings
Gene expression will be determined by analyzing total ribonucleic acid (RNA) by microarray chips.
Time frame: Up to 48 hours post dose
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) or Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or congenital anomaly.
Time frame: AEs: Baseline up to 8 days after the last dose of study drug; SAEs: Baseline up to 30 days after the last dose of study drug
