Popis: In the last decade, the attention of scientists in the field of biomedicine is focused on studying the relationship between the immunological and neurogenic components of the inflammatory response and their contribution to the pathophysiology of allergic inflammation in asthma. The review is devoted to detailing the mechanism of neurogenic inflammation involving regulatory neuropeptides (substance P, vasoactive intestinal peptide, calcitonin gene-related peptide) in the pathogenesis of bronchial hyperreactivity in asthma. The role of neurotrophic growth factors (nerve growth factor, brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the regulation of remodeling of bronchi in asthma has been analyzed. The study of neuroimmune mechanisms in the pathophysiology of asthma will it possible to find new therapeutic targets in this research area.
