  • Effects of topical budesonide on epithelial restitution in vivo in guinea pig trachea
  • 1995
  • In: Thorax. - 1468-3296. ; 50:7, s. 785-792
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • BACKGROUND--Continuous epithelial shedding and restitution processes may characterise the airways in diseases such as asthma. Epithelial restitution involves several humoral and cellular mechanisms that may potentially be affected by inhaled anti-asthma drugs. The present study examines the effect of a topical steroid on epithelial restitution in vivo in the guinea pig. METHODS--The airway epithelium was mechanically removed from well defined areas of guinea pig trachea without surgery and without damage to the basement membrane or bleeding. An anti-inflammatory dose of budesonide (1 mg) was administered repeatedly to the tracheal surface by local superfusion 24 hours before, at (0 hours), and 24 hours after the denudation. Migration of epithelial cells, formation of a plasma exudation-derived gel, and appearance of luminal leucocytes were recorded by scanning electron microscopy. Cell proliferation was visualised by bromodeoxyuridine immunohistochemistry and tissue neutrophils and eosinophils by enzyme histochemistry. RESULTS--Immediately after creation of the denuded zone ciliated and secretory cells on its border dedifferentiated, flattened out, and migrated speedily (mean (SE) 2.3 (0.3) micron/min) over the basement membrane. After 48 hours the entire denuded zone (800 microns wide) was covered by a tightly sealed epithelium; at this time increased proliferation was observed in new and old epithelium and subepithelial cells. Budesonide had no detectable effect on epithelial dedifferentiation, migration, sealing, or proliferation. Immediately after denudation and continuously during the migration phase plasma was extravasated creating a fibrinous gel rich in leucocytes, particularly neutrophils, over the denuded area. Budesonide had no effect on either the gel or the leucocyte density. CONCLUSIONS--These observations suggest that topical glucocorticoids may not interfere with a fast and efficient restitution of the epithelium in the airways.

  • Epithelial pathways for luminal entry of bulk plasma

    • Inflammatory challenges of the airway mucosa cause luminal entry of bulk plasma. Extravasation of plasma is well described but the routes for epithelial passage of plasma are largely unknown. Using colloidal gold (5 nm) as tracer we have now examined the fate of extravasated plasma in the airways. The tracer was given intravenously to anaesthetized, ovalbumin-sensitized guinea-pigs 2min prior to airway mucosal challenge with 12pmol ovalbumin (the dose was selected from a separate dose-response study). Tissue specimens were collected 30s, 3 and 6 min after end of challenge (separate time course experiments suggested that the peak rate of entry of plasma occurred at about 5 min). The colloidal gold particles were visualized by autometallographic silver intensification. The gold produced no circulatory disturbance and had a uniform vascular distribution with negligible adherence to vascular endothelium. After challenge gold was first widely distributed in the lamina propria. At 3 and 6 min the tracer was also in the epithelium and airway lumen. It appeared that plasma was moved distinctly between and all around each epithelial cell. Bright field-, scanning-, and transmission electron-microscopy indicated that the luminal entry of plasma did not affect the integrity of the epithelial lining. This study demonstrates that the plasma exudate moves across an intact epithelial layer through ubiquitous paracellular pathways. Even at a pronounced acute plasma exudation response exceedingly small amounts of plasma may pass around a single cell explaining the non-injurious nature of mucosal exudation of bulk plasma in health and disease.

  • Topical nitroprusside may reduce histamine-induced plasma exudation in human nasal airways
  • 1995
  • In: Allergy. - : Wiley. - 1398-9995 .- 0105-4538. ; 50:7, s. 593-597
  • Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Mucosal exudation of nonsieved bulk plasma is a key feature of airway defense and inflammation. We have previously observed in guinea pig tracheobronchial airways that endogenous nitric oxide (NO) of the mucosa may tonically suppress the permeability of the subepithelial microcirculation, and that topical administration of the NO donor nitroprusside may reduce plasma exudation responses. The present study examines whether nitroprusside affects histamine-induced mucosal exudation of plasma in the human nasal airway. In a dose-finding tolerability experiment, using changes in nasal patency as response, placebo and nitroprusside (1.2 and 3.6 mg per nasal cavity) were applied on the mucosal surface with a nasal-spray device. Nasal peak expiratory flow (PEF) rates were measured before the application and thereafter every third minute for 15 min. Nitroprusside produced a dose-dependent decrease in nasal PEF rates compared to placebo. Placebo or nitroprusside (7.2 mg) was then given to the right nasal cavity, followed 3 min later by challenge with saline or histamine (600 micrograms). The drug and the challenge were both applied with a nasal-spray device. With a nasal pool-device, the same large part of the nasal mucosal surface was lavaged before and after the treatment/challenge. The lavage fluid levels of alpha 2-macroglobulin were measured as an index of mucosal exudation of bulk plasma. The histamine-induced lavage fluid level of alpha 2-macroglobulin was significantly higher after treatment with placebo than with nitroprusside. The present data indicate that nitroprusside may have antiexudative effects in human airways. Hence, unlike other microvascular permeability active agents, this pharmacologic principle may be active in both guinea pig and human airways.
