T1 |
44-59 |
REPLACED |
denotes |
High-conductive |
T2 |
78-257 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
potassium channels (BK+Ca) and ATP-sensitive potassium (K+ATP) channels play a significant role in the airway smooth muscle cell and goblet cell function, and cytokine production. |
T3 |
258-427 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The present study evaluated the therapeutic potential of BK+Ca and K+ATP openers, NS 1619 and pinacidil, respectively, in an experimental model of allergic inflammation. |
T4 |
428-586 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Airway allergic inflammation was induced with ovalbumine in guinea pigs during 21 days, which was followed by a 14-day treatment with BK+Ca and K+ATP openers. |
T5 |
587-823 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
The outcome measures were airway smooth muscle cells reactivity in vivo and in vitro, cilia beating frequency and the level of exhaled NO (ENO), and the level of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. |
T6 |
824-960 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
The openers of both channels decreased airway smooth muscle cells reactivity, cilia beating frequency, and cytokine levels in the serum. |
T7 |
961-1029 |
DRI_Background |
denotes |
Furthermore, NS1619 reduced ENO and inflammatory cells infiltration. |
T8 |
1030-1144 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
The findings confirmed the presence of beneficial effects of BK+Ca and K+ATP openers on airway defence mechanisms. |
T9 |
1145-1296 |
DRI_Outcome |
denotes |
Although both openers dampened pro-inflammatory cytokines and mast cells infiltration, an evident anti-inflammatory effect was provided only by NS1619. |
T10 |
1297-1438 |
DRI_Challenge |
denotes |
Therefore, we conclude that particularly BK+Ca channels represent a promising new drug target in treatment of airway's allergic inflammation. |
