Abstract

Pediatric asthma is exacerbated by Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) infection, and Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) promotes production of inflammatory cytokines and mucus hypersecretion in the pathology of this disease. Our previous research revealed that Qingfei oral liquid (QF) inhibited airway inflammation and mucus hypersecretion in RSV-infected asthmatic mice models and that this may be associated with the TRPV1-regulation of NF-κB and Mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) expression, but the exact mechanism is unknown. In the present study, LC-MS was used for analyzing the chemicals in QF, ovalbumin (OVA)-induced asthmatic mice inhaled RSV three consecutive times to create an RSV-infected asthmatic model. We found treatment from QF alleviated airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and reduced congestion, edema, and infiltration of inflammatory cells into pulmonary tissues. Additionally, QF was found to decrease expression of NF-κB and its downstream inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-4, IL-5, and IL-13, as well as a decrease in MUC5AC and pro-inflammatory cytokines in PKC via a reduction in Protein Kinase C-dependent signaling. These findings suggest that QF can alleviate AHR and mucus hypersecretion caused by RSV infection in ast...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.
