Phospholipases A2 (PLA2) hydrolyze phospholipids resulting in the release of fatty acids including arachidonic acid (AA) and lysophospholipids. AA, in turn, serves as a substrate for the synthesis of leukotrienes which can cause bronchoconstriction and airways edema and appear to be important mediators of clinical asthma. Further, lysophospholipids may be cytotoxic and/or impair the function of surfactant. We examined the release of secretory PLA2 (sPLA2) and AA into the airways after antigen challenge in 16 subjects with allergic asthma. Asthmatic subjects underwent bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) before and after inhaled antigen challenge; in addition, a single BAL, without inhaled antigen, was performed in 10 control subjects. BAL was obtained at 4 h (n = 7), the time of the late asthmatic response (LAR) (n = 5), or 24 h (n = 4) after challenge. There was no difference between normal and asthmatic subjects in either BAL fluid (BALF) sPLA2 activity or AA concentration at baseline. Both sPLA2 and AA increased after antigen challenge (p < 0.01 and 0.05, respectively). These changes were most marked 4 h after challenge (p < 0.03 for both). sPLA2 may play an important role in the generation of AA in patients with asthma.

D001249 Asthma A form of bronchial disorder with three distinct components: airway hyper-responsiveness (RESPIRATORY HYPERSENSITIVITY), airway INFLAMMATION, and intermittent AIRWAY OBSTRUCTION. It is characterized by spasmodic contraction of airway smooth muscle, WHEEZING, and dyspnea (DYSPNEA, PAROXYSMAL). Asthma, Bronchial,Bronchial Asthma,Asthmas
D016210 Methacholine Chloride A quaternary ammonium parasympathomimetic agent with the muscarinic actions of ACETYLCHOLINE. It is hydrolyzed by ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE at a considerably slower rate than ACETYLCHOLINE and is more resistant to hydrolysis by nonspecific CHOLINESTERASES so that its actions are more prolonged. It is used as a parasympathomimetic bronchoconstrictor agent and as a diagnostic aid for bronchial asthma.
