| Research Abstract |
The mechanism of aspirin-induced asthma (AIA) were studied clinically and experimentally. Indomethacine strongly enchanced the inhaled <LTD_4> induced increase of Paw in guinea-pigs whitch were pretreated by OKY-046. AA-861, one of 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor, had no effect on this phenomenon. From these result, the increases of Paw by inhaled <LTD_4> were not depend on 5-lipoxygenase pathway but depend on deprivation of bronchodilatory prostaglandins.
In clinical study, 7 AIA and 7 non-AIA were challenged by intravenously administered sulpyrin. <FEV_(1.0)> and plasma prostanoid were measured at the point of before challenge, 10 and 30 min after challenge. <FEV_(1.0)> droped more than 15% from base line in 5 of 7 AIA but 0 of 7 non-AIA. Plasma prostanoid of AIA revealed significant decrease in 6-keto <PGF_1> <alpha> and 6-keto <PGF_1> <alpha> / TX <-B_2> ratio at 10 to 30 min after challenge. However there were no significant changes in TX <-B_2> between AIA and non-AIA. Plasma histamine also revealed significant increase in AIA compaire to non-AIA after this sulpyrin challenge. Our experimental and clinical results are compatible with the hypothesis concerning aspirin hypersensitivity, namely aspirin induces the deprivation of bronchodilatory PG, whitch in turn promotes the release of histamine and produces bronchoconstriction resembling immediate allergic reaction.
