Abstract

Background : Airway remodeling of the asthmatic airway, the result of persistent inflammation in the bronchial wall, is associated with irreversible airway obstruction and the severity of asthma. Previous reports had represented that adminitering CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides (CpG-ODN) before sensitization or challenge by allergens inhibits the development of eosinophilic airway inflammation in a murine model of asthma, but the effects of CpG-ODNs on chronic inflammation and airway remodeling had not been characterized. To investigate the influence of CpG-ODNs on chronic inflammation and remodeling of the airway, we performed studies using a murine model of chronic allergen-induced asthma. Methods : Balb/C mice were sensitized to ovalbumin(OVA) and subsequently exposed to nebulized OVA by means of inhalation twice weekly for 7 weeks. CpG-ODNs($30{\mu}g$) was administered intraperitoneally at sensitization. After final inhalation, mice were evaluated for airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic airway inflammation and remodeling. Results : The mice exposed to chronic and recurrent airway challenge with OVA had persistent airway hyperresponsiveness, chronic inflammation and airway remodeling. Mice treated with CpG-ODNs exhibited decreased bronchial hyperresponsiveness, OVA-specific IgE, chronic inflammation and evidence of airway remodeling, including goblet cell hyperplasia and subepithelial fibrosis. Conclusion : CpG-ODNs was thought to prevent chronic inflammation and remodeling changes in a murine model of chronic asthma.

연구배경 : 급성천식 동물모델에 투여할 경우 특징적인 기도과민성이나 호산구성 염증 등이 호전되는 것으로 알려져 있으나, 만성천식 모델에서 기도의 만성염증 및 기도재구성을 억제할 수 있다는 연구는 많지 않다. CpG-ODN이 기도의 만성염증 및 기도재구성을 예방할 수 있는 지 알기위하여, 만성천식 마우스모델에서 CpG-ODN의 기도의 만성염증 및 기도재구성에 대한 영향을 연구하고자 하였다. 방 법 : BALB/C 마우스를 ovalbumin으로 감작시킨뒤 7주간 만성적인 자극을 주어 만성 천식모델을 만들고, CpG-ODN은 감작시에 복강내에 주사하였다. 7주후기 도저항(기도과민성)의 측정, 혈청 IgE의 측정, 기관지 폐포세척액에서 염증세포분획을 검사하였고, 폐조직검사로 염증세포의 침윤 및 기저막하부의 섬유화의 정도를 관찰하였고, OVA군과 CpG-ODN군과 비교하였다. 결 과 : 1) 기관지폐포세척액내 호산구는 CpG-ODN군은 OVA군에 비해 통계적으로 유의하게 감소하였다($0.9{\pm}0.8$ ; $9.7{\pm}5.8{\times}10^4/ml$, P<0.01). 2) 기도과민성은 CpG-ODN군은 OVA군에 비해서 기도과민성(Penh)이 $50mg/m{\ell}$를 제외한 농도에서 모두 유의하게 감소한 소견을 보였다(P<0.01). 3) 혈청 총 IgE는 CpG-ODN군이 OVA군에 비해 감소한 소견을 보였고($0.21{\pm}0.11$ ; $1.16{\pm}0.39{\mu}g/ml$, P<0.01), 혈청 OVA specific IgE도 CpG-ODN군이 OVA군에 비해 감소한 소견을 보였다($1.1{\pm}0.5$ ; $1.7{\pm}0.6$ OD units, P<0.01). 4) 배상세포의 증식정도는 CpG-ODN군은 OVA군에 감소된(P<0.01) 소견을 보였다. 5) 기저막하부의 섬유화의 정도는 CpG-ODN군이 OVA군에 비해서 유의하게 감소된(P<0.01) 소견을 보였다. 결 론 : CpG-ODN은 기도의 급성염증 및 기도과민성을 억제할 뿐만 아니라 만성천식 마우스모델에서 기도의 만성염증 및 기도재구성을 억제시킴을 알 수 있었다.
