摘要

BACKGROUND: The immuno-modulatory properties of nucleotides such as adenosine or inosine, have been described extensively. Recently, the nucleoside uridine and its analogue 4-thiouridine have gained attention for their protective role in acute lung inflammation. OBJECTIVE: In this study, we investigated the influence of uridine on asthmatic airway inflammation. METHODS: We used the classical ovalbumin (OVA)-alum model, as well as a model of house dust mite-(HDM)-induced airway inflammation. The degree of inflammation was determined by bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), histology, and measurement of bronchial hyperresponsiveness. RESULTS: Intratracheal treatment of OVA-sensitized animals with uridine before allergen challenge resulted in a reduction in total BAL cells and BAL eosinophils. This was accompanied by reduced tissue infiltration and diminished production of T helper type 2-cytokines by mediastinal lymph node cells. Additionally, mice treated with uridine developed less bronchial hyperresponsiveness. Uridine was also effective in reducing airway inflammation in HDM-induced asthma. The protective effects of uridine were independent of myeloid dendritic cell (mDC) function, because in vitro pre-treatment of allergen-pulsed DCs with uridine did not alter the degree of inflammation. However, uridine inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory mediators in vivo and by cultured lung epithelial cells, suggesting an effect on lung structural cells. CONCLUSION: In summary, we were able to show that uridine inhibits the classical features of asthmatic airway inflammation. As uridine supplementation is well tolerated in humans, it might be a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of bronchial asthma.
