Inhibition of bronchial hyperresponsiveness to histamine induced by intravenous administration of leukotriene C4 by novel thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists ONO-NT-126 and ONO-8809 in guinea-pigs.
We studied the effect of intravenous administration of leukotriene (LT) C4 on bronchial responsiveness to histamine and airway wall thickening in guinea-pigs. Guinea-pigs were killed and the lungs were fixed in formalin. Slides from paraffin-embedded sections of the lungs were stained and the airways that were cut in transverse sections were measured by tracing enlarged images using a digitizer. Moreover, airway resistance (Raw) was determined by a pulmonary mechanics analyser and we calculated two indices, an index of airway wall thickening and the one of airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine, from changes of baseline-Raw and peak-Raw following intravenous administration of histamine before and after the intravenous administration of LTC4. Intravenous administration of 3 microg/kg LTC4 for 1 hr induced an increase of the relative thickness of the airway wall in peripheral bronchi by the histological examination. In analysis of airway function, intravenous administration of 3 microg/kg LTC4 for 1 hr induced airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine with airway wall thickening. Thromboxane A2 receptor antagonists ONO-NT-126 and ONO-8809 inhibited the LTC4-induced airway hyperresponsiveness to histamine in a dose-dependent manner, but not the airway wall thickening induced by LTC4, suggesting that the effect of LTC4 on bronchial hyperresponsiveness is likely to be mediated through TXA2.

[Bronchial hyperresponsiveness to histamine induced by intravenous administration of prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) in guinea pigs].
Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) have been suggested to play important roles in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma. In the present study, effects of i.v.-administration of PGD2 on bronchial hyperresponsiveness in guinea pigs were investigated by the measurement of dynamic compliance and dynamic respiratory resistance with formulae which can exclude the effects of changes of the airway wall thickness. With these formulae, the ratio of bronchial smooth muscle constriction by histamine can be estimated as an index of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Administration of PGD2 induced airway wall edema. The ratio of bronchial smooth muscle constriction by histamine was enhanced with the administration of PGD2. Moreover, TXA2 antagonists, ONO-NT-126 and ONO-8809, inhibited the effect of PGD2 administration.
