Vitamin E effect in a rat model of toluene diisocyanate-induced asthma
نویسندگان
چکیده
BACKGROUND AND AIM The aim of the study was to evaluate vitamin E effect upon oxidative stress associated with toluene -2, 4-diisocyanate (TDI)-induced asthma in rats. METHODS The five study groups were: control, vehicle, TDI, vehicle+E, TDI+E. TDI animals were sensitized by nasal administration of TDI 10% (5μl/nostril) between days 1-7 and 15-21. Between days 22-28 groups TDI+E and vehicle+E rats received vitamin E (50 mg/kg, i. v.), and control, vehicle and TDI groups received saline solution. On day 29 the rats were challenged by intranasal application of 5% TDI (5 μl/nostril). On day 30 blood, BALF and lung biopsy were harvested. Oxidative stress tests were malondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyls (PC), total thiols (tSH), 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) and reduced glutathione (GSH). RESULTS TDI sensitization increased oxidative stress systemically, but also locally in the respiratory airways and lung tissue. There was an increase of MDA and PC formation associated with a deficiency of the antioxidant defense reflected by DPPH decreases. There were no differences between systemic and local lung concentrations of oxidized molecules. After vitamin E treatment oxidative stress was reduced mostly due to serum, BALF and lung tissue GSH and DPPH increase. CONCLUSION The study showed that in rat TDI-induced asthma there was oxidative stress caused by increased ROS production and antioxidants deficiency, and vitamin E reduced ROS production and improved antioxidant defense.

To investigate the role of pharmacological mechanisms in toluene diisocyanate (TDI) induced occupational asthma, the effects of TDI on rat trachea ring and lung parenchymal strip were studied in vitro. The most prominent effect observed was a stimulation of metacholine (1 microM) induced contraction of the tracheal ring by 1 microM TDI (added in dimethy sulphoxide). The results were less pronou...

Effect of bumetanide on toluene diisocyanate induced contractions in guinea pig airways.
BACKGROUND The loop diuretic frusemide has been shown to inhibit the bronchoconstrictor response to exercise, inhaled allergen, distilled water, adenosine, and sodium metabisulphite. Toluene diisocyanate contracts smooth muscle by activating capsaicin sensitive nerves and causes asthma that shares many features with allergen induced asthma. METHODS The study was designed to assess the effect ...

Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) is the most common cause of occupational asthma in western countries. The aim of this study was to investigate whether genetic factors are involved in toluene diisocyanate-induced asthma. We studied the frequency of human leucocyte antigen (HLA) class II genetic markers in three groups of subjects: 1) subjects with TDI-induced asthma (n = 30); 2) exposed subjects with...
