摘要: Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) is known to produce (NO), which a main contributor asthmatic airway inflammation. Recent studies have shown that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) ubiquitously expressed in epithelial cells and its inhibition could relieve inflammation hyperresponsiveness. This study aimed explore the interaction of PI3K NO signaling allergic asthma. We investigated effects inhibitor wortmannin on iNOS expression bronchiole NO, IL-4 IFN-γ levels lung tissues rat model, was prepared by 10% OVA solution sensitization 1% aerosol challenge. Our results showed ratio eosinophils total BALF, activity, increased after challenge, but then attenuated administration wortmannin. In contrast, level decreased challenge The protein cells, mRNA activity markedly upregulated upregulation significantly antagonized Taken together, these data provide evidence functions upstream modulate iNOS/NO signaling, promotes development animal model. lead reduced production, therefore inhibiting inflammatory responses.
