Bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are increasing common diseases. The major pathogenesis of both illnesses is chronic inflammation. However, the inflammatory pattern is distinct in each disease. In asthmatic airways, activated mast cells/eosinophils and T helper 2 lymphocytes (Th2) are predominant. In contrast, macrophages and neutrophils are important in COPD airways/lung. Although nitric oxide (NO) hyperproduction due to inducible NO synthase (iNOS) is observed in asthma and COPD, nitrotyrosine formation via the reaction between NO and O(2)- in addition to the myeloperoxidase-mediated pathway. These distinct inflammatory patterns in both diseases seem to cause pathological differences in asthma and COPD.
