Infliximab alleviates inflammation and ex vivo airway hyperreactivity in asthmatic E3 rats.
Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma, and neutralization of TNF-α is an effective therapy for inflammatory diseases. The present study tested the idea that a TNF-α antibody, infliximab, may be useful in the management of asthma. E3 rats were immunized with ovalbumin (OVA)/alum and received infliximab intra-peritoneally. Two weeks later, OVA-PBS was i...
متن کاملRole of chemokines in asthmatic airway inflammation.
The incidence of asthma worldwide has increased significantly over the past two decades, especially in young children and in inner cities. Although there are several contributing factors that promote severe asthmatic responses, uncontrolled inflammation leads to the most severe consequences. Chemokines are an interesting target for decreasing the inflammatory response and therefore altering the...

متن کاملEffects of Baicalin and Ligustrazine on airway inflammation and remodeling and underlying mechanism in asthmatic rats
Aim: To explore the effects of Baicalin and Ligustrazine on airway inflammation and construction and underlying mechanisms through the expressions of GATA-3, IL-5, MMP-9 and TIMP-1 in asthmatic rats. Methods: 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided equally into five groups. Lung tissues were sliced. WBC and Eos in lung tissue were estimated by HE stain and the expressions of IL-5, GATA-3, MMP-9, T...
متن کاملModulation of lung inflammation and immune markers in asthmatic rats treated by Portulaca oleracea
Objective: Previous studies indicated anti-inflammatory effects for Portulaca oleracea in various inflammatory disorders. In this study, the effects of P. oleracea on bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) levels of total protein (TP), Phospholipase A2(PLA2) and IgE in sensitized rats were examined. Materials and Methods: Male rats were randomly divided into six groups namely, control (group C), s...
