Pristimerin has been shown to possess antiinflammatory activity. However, its potential use for asthma induced by airway inflammation has not yet been studied. First, we established a ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic asthma mice model. BALB/c mice were immunized and challenged by OVA. Treatment with pristimerin caused a marked reduction in the levels of OVA-specific IgE, immune cells, and IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 secretion. Histological studies using H&E staining were used to study the alterations in lung tissue. These results were similar to those obtained with dexamethasone treatment. We then investigated which signal transduction mechanisms could be implicated in pristimerin activity by Western blot. The data showed that pristimerin could inhibit MAPKs and NF-κB inflammatory pathways.  相似文献

Abstract

Asthma is a complex disease characterized by reversible airway obstruction, airway hyper-responsiveness (AHR) and chronic inflammation of the airways. Dihydroartemisinin (DHA), a semi-synthetic derivative of artemisinin isolated from the traditional Chinese herb Artemisia annua, has been shown to possess antimalarial and antitumor activities, but whether it can be used in asthma treatment has not been investigated. In this study, we attempted to determine whether DHA regulates inflammatory mediators in the ovalbumin (OVA)-induced mouse asthma model. BALB/c mice were sensitized and challenged by OVA to induce chronic airway inflammation. The intragastrical administration of DHA at 30?mg/kg significantly decreased the number of infiltrating inflammatory cells, T-helper type 2 (Th2) cytokines, OVA-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) and AHR. Treatment with DHA also attenuated OVA-induced mRNA expression of Muc5ac and chitinase 3-like protein 4 (Ym2) in lung tissues. In addition, lung histopathological studies revealed that DHA inhibited inflammatory cell infiltration and mucus hypersecretion. Then signal transduction studies showed that DHA significantly inhibited extracellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK), p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase phosphorylation. DHA also inhibited nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) activation via the inhibition of phosphorylation of IκBα. These findings provide new insight into the immunopharmacological role of DHA in terms of its effects in a mouse model of asthma.  相似文献

Interleukin (IL)-18, which is produced by activated monocytes/macrophages and airway epithelial cells, is suggested to contribute to the pathophysiology of asthma by modulating airway inflammation. However, the involvement of IL-18 on modulating chronic airway inflammation and airway remodelling, which are characterized in a refractory asthma model exposed to long-term antigen, has not been investigated sufficiently. We examined the role of IL-18 in chronic airway inflammation and airway remodelling by long-term antigen exposure. IL-18-deficient and C57BL/6-wild-type mice were sensitized by ovalbumin (OVA) and were then exposed to aerosolized OVA twice a week for 12 weeks. We assessed airway inflammation by assessing the infiltration of cells into the airspace and lung tissues, and airway remodelling by airway mucus expression, peribronchial fibrosis and smooth muscle thickness. In IL-18-deficient mice, when exposed to OVA, the total cells and neutrophils of the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were diminished, as were the number of infiltrated cells in the lung tissues. IL-18-deficient mice exposed to OVA after 12 weeks showed significantly decreased levels of interferon (IFN)-gamma, IL-13 and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 in the BALF. The airway hyperresponsiveness to acetyl-beta-methacholine chloride was inhibited in IL-18-deficient mice in comparison with wild-type mice. In addition, IL-18-deficient mice exposed to OVA had fewer significant features of airway remodelling. These findings suggest that IL-18 may enhance chronic airway inflammation and airway remodelling through the production of IFN-gamma, IL-13 and TGF-beta1 in the OVA-induced asthma mouse model.  相似文献

Context: Nodakenin is a major coumarin glucoside in the root of Peucedanum decursivum Maxim, a commonly used traditional Chinese medicine for the treatment of asthma and chronic bronchitis for thousands of years.

Objective: In this work, the anti-asthma potential of nodakenin was studied by investigation of its effect to suppress airway inflammation, hyper-responsiveness and remodeling in a murine model of chronic asthma.

Materials and methods: BALB/c mice sensitized to ovalbumin (OVA) were challenged with aerosolized OVA for 8 weeks, orally administered with nodakenin at doses of 5, 10 and 20?mg/kg before each OVA challenge.

Results: Compared with the model group, nodakenin treatment markedly inhibited airway inflammation, hyper-responsiveness and remodeling, showing improvement in subepithelial fibrosis, smooth muscle hypertrophy, and goblet cell hyperplasia, and decreased levels of interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5, IL-13 and matrix metalloproteinase-2/-9 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid, and the level of OVA-specific IgE in serum. In addition, the NF-κB DNA-binding activity in lung tissues was also reduced by nodakenin treatment.

Conclusions: These data indicated that nodakenin might mitigate the development of chronic experimental allergic asthma.  相似文献

Sulfate-modifying factor 2 (SUMF2), a member of the formylglycine-generating enzyme family, was earlier found to play a role in the regulation of interleukin (IL)-13 expression and secretion in airway smooth muscle cells. IL-13 is a T helper 2 cytokine that plays important roles in the pathogenesis of asthma. However, there is little evidence of the potential role of SUMF2 in the cellular inflammatory responses in asthma. Here, using an ovalbumin-induced asthma rat model, we show that SUMF2 gene expression is significantly decreased in allergic asthma rats. Moreover, several pathological changes were observed in the lung tissue and IL-13 was found to be overexpressed in the ovalbumin-induced asthma model. Additional studies on the lung bronchial epithelial tissues, peripheral blood lymphocytes and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the OVA-induced asthma rats showed that SUMF2 mRNA and protein expression were attenuated. However, there was only a little significant correlation was found between SUMF2 and IL-13 expression. These results indicate that SUMF2 may mediate airway inflammation in allergic asthma by modulating the expression of IL-13. More data from in vivo experiments are needed to clearly understand the role of SUMF2 in asthma.  相似文献

Backgroundc-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) relays extracellular stimuli through phosphorylation cascades that lead to various cell responses. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the effect of the JNK inhibitor SP600125 on the resolution of airway inflammation, and the underlying mechanism using a murine acute asthma model.MethodsFemale C57BL/6 mice were sensitized with saline or ovalbumin (OVA) on day 0, and challenged with OVA on day 14–20. Meanwhile, some of the mice were treated with SP600125 (30 mg/kg) intraperitoneally 2 h before each challenge. The airway inflammation was evaluated by counting the numbers of various types of inflammatory cells in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), histopathology, cytokines production and mucus secretion in individual mouse. In addition, we analyzed the protein levels of phosphorylated JNK and TLR9 in the lung tissues.ResultsSP600125 markedly reduced the invasion of inflammatory cells into the peribronchial regions, and decreased the numbers of eosinophils, monocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes in BALF. SP600125 also reduced the level of plasma OVA-specific IgE, lowered the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines in BALF and alleviated mucus secretion. Meanwhile, SP600125 inhibited OVA-induced, increased expression of p-JNK and TLR9 in the lung tissues.ConclusionsCollectively, our data demonstrated that SP600125 promoted resolution of allergic airway inflammation via TLR9 in an OVA-induced murine acute asthma model. The JNK-TLR9 pathway may be a new therapeutic target in the treatment for the allergic asthma.  相似文献

Allergic asthma is characterized by airway inflammation caused by infiltration and activation of inflammatory cells that produce cytokines. Many studies have revealed that c-kit, a proto-oncogene, and its ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), play an important role in the development of asthmatic inflammation. Intranasal small interference RNA (siRNA) nanoparticles targeting specific viral gene could inhibit airway inflammation. In this study, we assessed whether silencing of c-kit with intranasal small interference RNA could reduce inflammation in allergic asthma. A mouse model of experimental asthma was treated with intranasal administration of anti-c-kit siRNA to inhibit the expression of the c-kit gene. We assessed the inflammatory response in both anti-c-kit siRNA-treated and control mice. Local administration of siRNA effectively inhibited the expression of the c-kit gene and reduced airway mucus secretion and the infiltration of eosinophils in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Moreover, c-kit siRNA reduced the production of SCF, interleukin-4 (IL-4), and IL-5, but had no effect on interferon-γ (IFN-γ) generation. These results show that intranasal siRNA nanoparticles targeting c-kit can decrease the inflammatory response in experimental allergic asthma.  相似文献
