Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Our recently developed murine asthma model is capable of inducing airway-specific chronic inflammatory changes and remodeling, features of human asthma commonly missing in conventional animal models. OBJECTIVES:To validate this model by site-specific physiological evaluation of hyperresponsiveness. METHODS:Non-sensitized and sensitized mice received either short-term uncontrolled or long-term controlled low-level exposures to aerosolized ovalbumin (OVA). Respiratory impedance (Zrs) was measured in response to increasing doses of methacholine (Mch). The constant-phase model was fitted to Zrs spectra to determine the specific site of hyperresponsiveness. RESULTS:Sensitized acutely exposed mice had significantly increased tissue damping (G), tissue elastance (H) and hysteresivity (eta) in response to Mch, but no significant increase in airway resistance (Raw), indicating tissue-specific hyperresponsiveness. In contrast, sensitized chronically exposed mice had significantly elevated Raw at all concentrations of Mch but no increases in G, H or eta indicating airway-specific hyperresponsiveness. CONCLUSIONS:Chronic inhalational exposure of sensitized mice to low-mass concentrations of OVA induces airway-specific hyperresponsiveness.
