چکیده

Airway epithelium plays an important role in the asthma physiopathology. Aerobic exercise decreases Th2 response in murine models of allergic asthma, but its effects on the structure and activation of airway epithelium in asthma are unknown. BALB/c mice were divided into control, aerobic exercise, ovalbumin-sensitized and ovalbumin-sensitized plus aerobic exercise groups. Ovalbumin sensitization occurred on days 0, 14, 28, 42, and aerosol challenge from day 21 to day 50. Aerobic exercise started on day 22 and ended on day 50. Total cells and eosinophils were reduced in ovalbumin-sensitized group submitted to aerobic exercise. Aerobic exercise also reduced the oxidative and nitrosative stress and the epithelial expression of Th2 cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules, growth factors and NF-kB and P2X7 receptor. Additionally, aerobic exercise increased the epithelial expression of IL-10 in non-sensitized and sensitized animals. These findings contribute to the understanding of the beneficial effects of aerobic exercise for chronic allergic airway inflammation, suggesting an immune-regulatory role of exercise on airway epithelium.

Anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative effects of Myrtenol in the rats with allergic asthma

Abstract Aims: To investigate the effect of Myrtenol, the active ingredient of Myrtle, on the oxidant and anti-oxidant indices and cytokines in the allergic asthma. Methods: Allergic asthma was induced by ovalbumin (OVA) sensitization and inhalation in four groups of rats; Control, Asthma, Asthma+Dexamethasone and Asthma+Myrtenol. Myrtenol (50mg/kg) or Dexamethasone (2.5mg/kg) was a...

Introduction: Asthma is a chronic inflammatory and reversible airway disease. Modification of lifestyle by increasing obesity prevalence and decreasing physical activity is one of the main cause of its rising prevalence. Patients with asthma have lower fitness than their healthy counterparts. Regular exercise improves fitness in Asthmatic patients and reduces the symptoms of the disease. Hence,...

Airway Inflammatory Biomarker: Could It Tailor the Right Medications for the Right Asthmatic Patient?

Asthma is a heterogeneous disease, in which asthmatic patients present with different clinical phenotypes, variable endotypes, and different response to asthma medicines. Thus, we are faced with an asthma paradox; asthma is diagnosed subjectively by clinical history and treated with biologically active drugs. To solve this paradox, we need objective airway biomarkers to tailor the proper medica...

Role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor in ovalbumin-induced asthma in rats

Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) is a pro-inflammatory cytokine and reportedly counteracts the anti-inflammatory effect of endogenous glucocorticoids. There have been only a few reports that demonstrate a potential link between MIF and bronchial asthma. In an attempt to further clarify the precise role of MIF in asthma, we examined the effect of anti-MIF antibody on airway inflammat...
