Modulation of cytokine-induced eosinophil infiltration by phosphodiesterase inhibitors

Abstract

The effects of selective phosphodiesterase (PDE) isoenzyme inhibitors on eosinophil airway infiltration induced by intratracheal administration of recombinant human cytokines were investigated in the guinea pig. Recombinant human IL-5 and IL-8 elicited a concentration-dependent increase in the number of eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. In contrast, no effect was observed after intratracheal injection of recombinant human IL-3 or recombinant human RANTES. Pretreatment with the PDE IV inhibitors rolipram or Ro 20-1724 or the nonselective PDE inhibitor theophylline 1 h before intratracheal injection of IL-5 significantly reduced the number of eosinophils in the BAL fluid at 48 h. In contrast, the selective PDE III inhibitors milrinone and SK&F 94-836 and the PDE I/V inhibitor zaprinast did not inhibit the airway eosinophil infiltration induced by IL-5. Betamethasone also significantly inhibited the IL-5-induced eosinophil infiltration in BAL fluid. Administration of rolipram or betamethasone 1 h before IL-8 significantly reduced airway eosinophil infiltration. Because the selective PDE IV inhibitors markedly inhibited eosinophil infiltration in guinea pig airways induced by cytokines, it is suggested that PDE...Continue Reading

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.
