嗜酸性粒细胞性支气管炎和哮喘患者支气管肺泡灌洗液中的8-异前列腺素含量
2009/11/17
目的:该研究旨在确定EB患者气道是否存在氧化应激(8-异前列腺素),以及8-异前列腺素是否与EB或哮喘患者的气道通气功能有关。
方法:对11名EB患者、10名哮喘患者和9名健康对照者的支气管肺泡灌洗液检测8-异前列腺素含量。8-异前列腺素的检测采用酶联免疫分析。
结果:结果显示,哮喘患者和EB患者支气管肺泡灌洗液中8-异前列腺素含量均增加。哮喘患者支气管肺泡灌洗液中8-异前列腺素含量中位数(12.78 pg/mL)显著高于EB患者(8.34 pg/mL)和健康对照者(5.07 pg/mL)。
结论:本研究显示,哮喘患者氧化应激显著增加,EB患者氧化应激严重程度轻于哮喘患者。由于该研究采用支气管肺泡灌洗液8-异前列腺素含量反映氧化应激,因此,哮喘患者和EB患者气道通气功能的差异可能与气道8-异前列腺素含量有关。

BAL fluid 8-isoprostane concentrations in eosinophilic bronchitis and asthma.

BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress has an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma. But oxidative stress of airway has not been assessed in patients with nonasthmatic eosinophilic bronchitis (EB). 8-epi-prostaglandin F2alpha (8-isoprostane) is a biomarker of oxidative stress.
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine whether oxidative stress (measured by 8-isoprostane) occurs in EB and whether 8-isoprostane is associated with airway function in EB and asthma.
METHODS: We measured 8-isoprostane concentrations in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid from 11 subjects with EB, 10 subjects with asthma, and 9 healthy control subjects. 8-isoprostane was measured by enzyme immunoassays.
RESULTS: We found that BAL fluid 8-isoprostane concentrations were raised both in EB and asthma. The median concentrations of 8-isoprostane in BAL fluid were significantly higher in subjects with asthma (12.78 pg/mL) when compared with EB (8.34 pg/mL) and healthy control subjects (5.07 pg/mL).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study shows that oxidative stress is increased significantly in asthmatic subjects and the degree of oxidative stress in EB subjects is milder than that in asthma, as reflected by 8-isoprostane concentrations in the BAL fluid. The difference in airway function observed in subjects with EB and asthma could be associated with different elevation in 8-isoprostane concentration in the airways.
