Background: Cough variant asthma (CVA) is recognized as a precursor of bronchial asthma (BA). However, the cough response to bronchoconstriction differs between these similar diseases. Repeated bronchoconstriction and the resulting imbalance of endogenous lipid mediators may impact the cough response.
Methods: We investigated the influence of repeated bronchoconstriction on the cough response to bronchoconstriction using naïve guinea pigs. Bronchoconstriction was induced for 3 consecutive days and changes in the cough response and lipid mediators, such as PGE 2 , PGI 2 , and cysteinyl-LTs (Cys-LTs), in BAL fluid (BALF) were assessed. We investigated the effect of endogenous PGI 2 on the cough response by employing a PGI 2 receptor antagonist. In order to investigate the cough response over a longer period, we re-evaluated the cough response 2 weeks after repeated bronchoconstriction.
Results: The number of coughs induced by bronchoconstriction were significantly decreased by repeated bronchoconstriction. The levels of PGE 2 , PGI 2 , and Cys-LTs, and the ratio of PGI 2 /PGE 2 were significantly increased, following repeated bronchoconstriction. This decrease in the cough response was suppressed by pretreatment with a PGI 2 receptor antagonist. Two weeks after repeated bronchoconstriction, the cough response returned to the same level as before repeated bronchoconstriction along with a concomitant return of lipid mediators, such as PGE 2 , PGI 2 , and Cys-LTs and the ratio of PGI 2 /PGE 2 .
Conclusions: Our results suggest that repeated bronchoconstriction and the resulting imbalance of endogenous lipid mediators contribute to the difference in cough responses to bronchoconstriction in CVA and BA.
