Allergen-induced Bronchial Hyperresponsiveness
Bradykinin (BK) is a peptide mediator generated at sites of inflammation and its effects are mediated through constitutively expressed B 2 receptor or through induction of B 1 receptors. We examined the role of these receptors in bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR). Brown-Norway rats sensitized with ovalbumin (OA) and Al(OH) 3 intraperitoneally, were exposed 3 wk later to either saline or OA ae...
متن کاملEffects of respiratory Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection on allergen-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness and lung inflammation in mice.
Airway mycoplasma infection may be associated with asthma pathophysiology. However, the direct effects of mycoplasma infection on asthma remain unknown. Using a murine allergic-asthma model, we evaluated the effects of different timing of airway Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection on bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR), lung inflammation, and the protein levels of Th1 (gamma interferon [IFN-gamma])...
متن کاملPAF-induced bronchial hyperresponsiveness in the rabbit: contribution of platelets and airway smooth muscle.
1. Aerosol administration of platelet activating factor (PAF) to normal rabbits induced an enhanced airway responsiveness to inhaled histamine, 6 and 24 h after exposure. Following exposure to bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the carrier molecule for PAF, there was an increase in airway responsiveness to histamine 6 h after challenge, although by 24 h this was not significantly different from the ...
متن کاملBronchial Hyperresponsiveness in Asthma*
Measurement ofnonspecific bronchial hyperresponsiveness remains largely a research tool in asthma, and its usefulness in the assessment and management of asthma is poorly defined. We StUdied the relationship of bronchial hyperresponsiveness to the clinical severity of asthma in 54 asthmatic subjects. In order to find out whether measurement of bronchial hyperresponsiveness could be used to pred...
متن کاملIn vitro-induced human airway hyperresponsiveness to bradykinin.
Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin (IL)-1beta have been reported to induce airway hyperresponsiveness in several animal models. This study investigated the effect of LPS or IL-1beta on bradykinin-induced human isolated bronchi contraction. LPS (100 ng x mL(-1) for 3-6 h) and IL-1beta (3x10(-10) and 3x10(-9) M for 20 min to 3 h) time-dependently potentiated bradykinin-induced contraction. ...
