METHODS: The effect of Ac2-26 on TH₂ cytokine release, eotaxin production, PGD₂ levels and the development of pulmonary eosinophilic inflammation was compared with glucocorticoids in an asthmatic rat model. The study was conducted on rats sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin and plethysmography measured airway responsiveness. Bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) histopathology and the levels of cytokines, chemokines as well as PGD₂ were examined. RESULTS: Our results showed that Ac2-26 suppressed the accumulation of eosinophils in airways, reduced IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, PGD₂ and eotaxin levels in the BAL fluid, and lowered the expression of CRTH2. Exogenous PGD₂ significantly attenuated the biological effects of Ac2-26. CONCLUSION: These results indicated that Ac2-26 exerted broad inhibitory effects on airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a rat model of asthma. Exogenous PGD₂ reversed the inhibitory effects of AC2-26 on eosinophil recruitment. Ac2-26 exhibited anti-asthmatic, immunomodulatory activity that was substantially mediated by decreasing PGD₂ production and its CRTH2 receptor expression in vivo. |
