| Abstract | |
Introduction. Proteinase inhibitors have been associated with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities and may represent a potential therapeutic treatment for asthma. Purpose. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of Enterolobium contortisiliquum trypsin inhibitor (EcTI) on pulmonary mechanical function, eosinophilic recruitment, inflammatory cytokines, remodeling and oxidative stress in an experimental model of chronic allergic pulmonary inflammation. Methods. BALB/c mice were divided into 4 groups: C (saline i.p and inhalations with saline), OVA (ovalbumin i.p and inhalations with ovalbumin); C+EC (saline i.p, inhalations with s aline and treatment with EcTI); OVA+EC (ovalbumin i.p, inhalations with ovalbumin and treatment with EcTI). On day 29, we performed the following tests: resistance (Rrs) and elastance (Ers) of the respiratory system; (b) quantify eosinophils, 8-ISO-PGF2 alpha, collagen and elastic fiber volume fractions; (c) IFN-gamma, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, MMP-9, TIMP-1,TGF-beta, iNOS and p65-NF kappa B-positive cells in the airway and alveolar walls. Results. In OVA+EC group, there was an attenuation of the Rrs and Ers, reduction of eosinophils, IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, IFN-gamma, iNOS and p65-NF kappa B-positive cells compared to OVA group. The 8-ISO-PGF2 alpha, elastic and collagen fibers volume fractions as well as the positive cells for MMP-9, TIMP-1 and TGF-beta positive cells were decreased in OVA+EC compared to the OVA group. Conclusion. EcTI attenuates bronchial hyperresponsiveness, inflammation, remodeling and oxidative stress activation in this experimental mouse model of asthma. (AU) | |
