Abstrakt: Background: While asthma exacerbations remain a major challenge in patient management, few animal models exist to explore the underlying mechanisms. Here, we established an animal model of asthma that can be used to study pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies on asthma exacerbation.
Methods: Female BALB/c mice were sensitized and exposed to PBS or Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (DerP) extract for 11 weeks. Asthmatic phenotype was assessed through lung inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness and bronchial smooth muscle remodeling. Asthmatic and control mice were exposed once or three times to poly(I:C) to simulate virus-induced inflammation.
Results: Fourteen days after exposure to DerP, asthmatic mice showed resolution of inflammation with sustained bronchial hyperresponsiveness and bronchial smooth muscle remodeling compared to control. At this stage, when mice were subjected to a single exposure to poly(I:C), control and asthmatic mice were characterized by a significant increase in neutrophilic inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness. When mice were repeatedly exposed to poly(I:C), control mice showed a significant decrease in neutrophilic inflammation and bronchial hyperresponsiveness, while asthmatic mice experienced worsening of these outcomes.
Conclusions: This observational study report an asthmatic mouse model that can undergo exacerbation after repeated exposure to poly(I:C). Our findings on pulmonary adaptation in control mice may also pave the way for further research into the mechanism of adaptation that may be impaired in asthma and raise the question of whether asthma exacerbation may be a loss of adaptation.
