Effects of Metformin and Montelukast in Acute and Chronic Allergic Asthma Mouse Models
To compare the effects of metformin and montelukast on airway inflammation and remodeling in the acute and chronic house dust mite (HDM)-induced asthma mouse models.
Methods
2
HDM-induced acute and chronic asthma mouse models were established and treated with 1mg/kg of budesonide, 200 mg/kg of metformin, or 10 mg/kg of montelukast, respectively. The drugs were administrated via intranasal instillation or intraperitoneal injection 1 h or 30 min prior to each HDM challenge. Hematoxylin-Eosin and Masson’s trichrome staining were used to analyze the lungpathological characteristics of mice. The score analysis of airway inflammatory cell infiltration and collagen deposition and the measurement of bronchial morphological parameters including bronchial wall thickness and bronchial smooth muscle thickness were determined by Image J software. Total serum IgE level, mRNA transcription level of inflammatory factors
IL-4
,
IL-5
, and
IL-13
were detected by ELISA and qRT-PCR.
Results
2
HDM-induced chronic model had significantly increased total serum IgE level, airway collagen deposition and thickness of airway smooth muscle than the acute model (
P
<
0.05). Budesonide significantly attenuated airway inflammation in the HDM-induced acute model (
0.05) and had no significant effect on airway remodeling (
P
>
0.05) in the HDM-induced acute model. Both metformin and montelukast had no significant effect on airway inflammation and remodeling (
P
>
0.05) in the chronic model.
Conclusion
2
Compared with the 26-day acute model, the 59-day chronic asthma mouse model has a higher level of serum IgE, pulmonary Th2 cytokine transcripts and airway collagen deposition. Metformin can effectively ameliorate airway inflammation in the HDM-induced acute mouse model, and montelukast has no significant effect on airway inflammation and remodeling in the HDM-induced chronic mouse model.
