چکیده
quercetin is a dietary flavonoid which has anti-inflammatory effects. this study aimed to evaluate the influence of quercetin on histopathological aspects and airway epithelium in allergic airway inflammation mice model. twenty-eight balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups: group i (control), group ii (untreated mice with allergic airway inflammation), group iii (allergic airway inflammation quercetin-treated [16mg/kg/day]), group iv (allergic airway inflammation dexamethasone-treated [1mg/kg/day]). ovalbumin was administered intraperitoneally and via inhalation to achieve allergic airway inflammation mice model and treatments were also given intraperitoneally. epithelium thickness, subepithelial smooth muscle thickness, number of mast and goblet cells, and basement membrane thickness were examined on samples isolated from lung. immunohistochemical evaluationof lung tissues was performed using il-25, il-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (tslp), terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dutp nick endlabeling (tunel) and cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases(caspase)-3 antibodies. il-4, il-25, il-33, tslp were quantified in bronchoalveolar lavage (bal) and ovaspecific ige levels was measured in serum by standard elisa protocols. il-25, il-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin (tslp) and cysteine-dependent aspartate-specific proteases (caspase)-3. quercetin treatment led to lower epithelial thickness, subepithelial smooth muscle thickness, goblet and mast cell numbers compared to untreated mice with allergic airway inflammation ( p <0.05). however, quercetin treatment was not effective on improving basal membane thickness. immunohistochemical scores of il-25, il-33, tslp, caspase-3 and tunel were lower in quercetin-treated mice t compared to untreated mice with allergic airway inflammation ( p <0.05). il-4, il-25, il-33, tslp levels in bal and ova-specific ige in serum were lower in quercetin treated mice compared to untreated mice ( p <0.05). these findings suggest that quercetin improves chronic histopathological changes except basal membrane thickness in lung tissue and its beneficial effects on inflammation might be related to modulating epithelium derived cytokines and epithelial apoptosis.

متن کاملRole of cytokines in allergic airway inflammation.
Asthma is characterized by intense infiltration of eosinophils and CD4+ T cells into the submucosal tissue of airways. Accumulating evidence indicates that T helper type 2 cell-derived cytokines such as interleukin (IL)-4, IL-5 and IL-13 play critical roles in orchestrating and amplifying allergic inflammation in asthma. In addition, it has been suggested that newly identified cytokines includi...
متن کاملAllergy: Airway Epithelial Rac1 Suppresses Allergic Inflammation
Loss of Rac1 in airway epithelial cells has demonstrated its participation in the ingestion of apoptotic cells and, more importantly, has revealed an unexpected role for Rac1 in maintaining the anti-inflammatory and non-immunogenic environment of the lung and reducing the intensity of allergic sensitization.

We previously found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from human-induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exerted immunomodulatory effects on Th2-mediated allergic rhinitis in vitro. However, their contribution to the asthma and allergic rhinitis in animal models remains unclear. In this study, we developed a mouse model of ovalbumin (OVA)-induced allergic inflammation in both the upper ...
متن کاملEffect of P2X4R on airway inflammation and airway remodeling in allergic airway challenge in mice.
P2X4 receptor (P2X4R) is the most widely expressed subtype of the P2XRs in the purinergic receptor family. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a ligand for this receptor, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of asthma. ATP‑P2X4R signaling is involved in pulmonary vascular remodeling, and in the proliferation and differentiation of airway and alveolar epithelial cell lines. However, the role of P2X...
