This study was carried out to determine whether hyperventilation of humidified warm air (HWA) induced airway extravasation in ovalbumin (Ova)-sensitized rats. Our results showed: (1) After isocapnic hyperventilation with HWA for 2 min, tracheal temperature (Ttr) was increased to 40.3°C, and the Evans blue contents in major airways and lung tissue were elevated to 651% and 707%, respectively, of that after hyperventilation with humidified room air in Ova-sensitized rats; this striking effect of HWA was absent in control rats. (2) The HWA-induced increase in Evans blue content in sensitized rats was completely prevented by a pretreatment with either L-732138, a selective antagonist of neurokinin type 1 (NK-1) receptor, or formoterol, a selective agonist of β2 adrenoceptor. This study demonstrated that an increase in airway temperature induced protein extravasation in the major airways and lung tissue of sensitized rats, and an activation of the NK-1 receptor by tachykinins released from bronchopulmonary C-fiber nerve endings was primarily responsible.

STING-dependent induction of neutrophilic asthma exacerbation in response to house dust mite.
Allergy
October 2024
Experimental and Molecular Immunology and Neurogenetics, INEM UMR7355 University of Orleans and CNRS, Orleans, France.
Article Synopsis
- Researchers are investigating whether activating the STING pathway causes lung inflammation that resembles severe asthma, particularly by focusing on neutrophilic responses.
- They developed models using house dust mites and STING agonists to study inflammation effects on mice and human cells, measuring various inflammatory markers and lung function.
- The findings suggest that STING activation leads to increased airway hyperresponsiveness and cell death, resembling severe asthma features and indicating a mixed immune response involving type 1 neutrophils.
Facial trauma with life-threatening bleeding treated by andexanet alfa administration: A case report.
Heliyon
September 2024
Department of Primary Care and Emergency Medicine, Kyoto University Graduate School of Medicine, Kyoto, Japan, 54 Shogoin-kawahara-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto, 6068507, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- * An 87-year-old man on apixaban presented to the ER with facial trauma that led to significant bleeding and airway obstruction, prompting the need for tracheal intubation.
- * After realizing the bleeding was life-threatening and challenging to control, andexanet alfa was administered, resulting in successful hemostasis and suggesting its potential effectiveness for managing extracranial bleeding in trauma cases.
Adam19 Deficiency Impacts Pulmonary Function: Human GWAS Follow-up in a Mouse Knockout Model.
Lung
October 2024
Immunity, Inflammation and Disease Laboratory, Division of Intramural Research, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, 111 TW Alexander Drive, MD A3-05, PO Box 12233, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 27709, USA.
Purpose: Over 550 loci have been associated with human pulmonary function in genome-wide association studies (GWAS); however, the causal role of most remains uncertain. Single nucleotide polymorphisms in a disintegrin and metalloprotease domain 19 (ADAM19) are consistently related to pulmonary function in GWAS. Thus, we used a mouse model to investigate the causal link between Adam19 and pulmonary function.

Laboratory Medicine, University Hospital of Lund, Lund, Sweden.
Superficial, systemic microcirculations, distinct from the pulmonary circulation, supply the mucosae of human nasal and conducting airways. Non-injurious, inflammatory challenges of the airway mucosa cause extravasation without overt mucosal oedema. Instead, likely reflecting minimal increases in basolateral hydrostatic pressure, circulating proteins/peptides of all sizes are transmitted paracellularly across the juxtaposed epithelial barrier.

Eosinophil recruitment is a pathological hallmark of many allergic and helminthic diseases. Here, we investigated chemokine receptor CCR3-induced eosinophil recruitment in sialyltransferase mice. We found a marked decrease in eosinophil extravasation into CCL11-stimulated cremaster muscles and into the inflamed peritoneal cavity of mice.
