The role of neuroeffector mechanisms in the pathogenesis of asthma

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports

Abstract

Neural regulation of the airways consists of cholinergic excitatory, adrenergic inhibitory nerves and nonadrenergic, noncholinergic (NANC) nerves. NANC nerves can be either inhibitory or excitatory. Cholinergic nerves form the predominant bronchoconstrictor neural pathway in human airways. Acetylcholine controls neuronal and nonneuronal target cells via a short-lived action at nicotinic and muscarinic receptors. The most important control over acetylcholine release from postganglionic cholinergic nerves is exerted by acetylcholine itself. The M2 autoreceptor is located prejunctionally on postganglionic nerves. Its stimulation limits the further release of acetylcholine. A loss of function in the neuronal muscarinic M2 autoreceptor occurs after exposure to allergen, ozone, or viruses. In human airways, inhibitory NANC (i-NANC) mechanisms are the only neural bronchodilatory mechanisms. The presumed neurotransmitters of the i-NANC system are vasoactive intestinal peptide and nitric oxide. Substance P and neurokinin A have been implicated as the neurotransmitters mediating the excitatory part of the NANC nervous system. NK2 receptors are present on smooth muscle of both large and small airways and mediate part of the bronchoconstri...Continue Reading

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.

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.
