伴或不伴阿司匹林过敏的哮喘患者前列腺素E2生成情况
2008/06/06
曾有人提出假设,前列腺素E2在阿斯匹林诱发哮喘中有特殊的调节作用。近期Mastalerz L等通过检测尿液中前列腺素E2两种主要代谢产物的含量,来评价前列腺素E2与阿斯匹林诱发哮喘的相关性。他们的研究发现阿斯匹林诱发哮喘发作与体内前列腺素E2产生量的变化无关;而在阿斯匹林不敏感的患者,阿斯匹林还会抑制体内前列腺素E2的产生。这种差异提示阿斯匹林诱发哮喘患者体内炎症细胞通过COX-1-依赖途径控制列腺素E2生成。
这个发现的临床意义在于,该结果与当前观察到的阿斯匹林敏感患者对选择性的COX-2抑制剂耐受的现象一致。

BACKGROUND: A special regulatory role for prostaglandin E2 has been postulated in aspirin-induced asthma. A study was undertaken to investigate the effects of aspirin on the systemic production of prostaglandin E2 and cysteinyl leucotrienes in patients with asthma.
METHODS: The urinary concentrations were determined of two main prostaglandin E2 metabolites (13,14-dihydro-15keto-PGE2 using a commercial enzyme immunoassay and 9,15-dioxo-11alpha-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetranor-prostane-1,20-dioic acid by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry) and leucotriene E4 using an immunoassay. Determinations were performed at baseline and following oral aspirin and celecoxib challenges in two well-defined asthma phenotypes: aspirin-sensitive and aspirin-tolerant patients.
RESULTS: Aspirin precipitated bronchial reactions in all aspirin-sensitive patients but in none of the aspirin-tolerant patients. Celecoxib 400 mg was well tolerated by all patients except for one with aspirin-induced asthma. At baseline, the mean levels of prostaglandin E2 metabolites did not differ between the groups. Following different aspirin provocation doses, the mean levels of the two main prostaglandin E2 metabolites were decreased in the aspirin-tolerant group but remained unchanged in the aspirin-sensitive group. The dose of aspirin had no effect on the magnitude of the response on the prostaglandin E2 metabolites and its duration. In both groups, urinary prostaglandin E2 metabolites decreased following celecoxib challenge. No correlation was found between prostaglandin E2 metabolites and leucotriene E4.
CONCLUSIONS: Aspirin-precipitated asthmatic attacks are not associated with changes in the systemic production of prostaglandin E2. In contrast, the systemic production of prostaglandin E2 becomes depressed by aspirin in non-sensitive patients. This different response might indicate COX-1-dependent prostaglandin E2 control of inflammatory cells in aspirin-induced asthma. Thus, PGE2 is released during the clinical reactions to aspirin through an alternative COX-2 pathway. The clinical implications of this finding are in line with current observations of good tolerance of the selective COX-2 inhibitors in aspirin-sensitive patients.
