Asthma exacerbations are often triggered by air pollution, including O3, whereas how patients with asthma exacerbations react to high levels of ambient ozone remain unknown. Here, we investigated the manner in which acute ozone exposure affects the pathophysiological characteristics of an asthma model on the premise of culminated allergic airway inflammation. The asthma model was constructed in mice, and enhanced pause (Penh), total and differential cell number, soluble mediator concentration, histopathology, and Muc5ac mRNA expression in the mice were observed. The results showed that ozone could induce airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) in controls and an additional enhancement of preexisting AHR in asthmatic mice. When exposed to ozone, the asthmatic mice expressed more neutrophils, TNF-α, IL-13, and hyaluronan in bronchoalveolar lavage than controls. The mice with asthma and the controls both showed decreased epithelial cell density in the proximal and distal airways. Ozone aggravated the increased mucus production and mucin gene expression in mice with asthma. These results show that subjects with asthma may react differently to the same high level of ambient ozone, especially for those with asthma exacerbations.

D010126 Ozone The unstable triatomic form of oxygen, O3. It is a powerful oxidant that is produced for various chemical and industrial uses. Its production is also catalyzed in the ATMOSPHERE by ULTRAVIOLET RAY irradiation of oxygen or other ozone precursors such as VOLATILE ORGANIC COMPOUNDS and NITROGEN OXIDES. About 90% of the ozone in the atmosphere exists in the stratosphere (STRATOSPHERIC OZONE).

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.
