Abstrakt:	Excessive uncontrolled airway narrowing is the main cause of the symptoms in asthma, yet the reasons behind this problem are still elusive. As mechanistic studies of isolated airways from asthmatic individuals are almost impossible to perform, the aim of this study was to investigate the contractile responses in intralobular bronchi (ILBs) isolated from a guinea pig asthma model. These distal airways are surrounded by parenchymal tissue and resemble functional characteristics of human bronchi. Isolated ILBs were mounted in myographs to measure smooth muscle reactions. To avoid the irreversible postmortem bronchoconstriction, lungs were filled with ice-cold buffer solution containing 1 µM salbutamol followed by 48 hours of incubation of the isolated ILBs. Pharmacological characterization of ILBs from naïve guinea pigs showed that prostaglandin E2 induced mild relaxation, whereas histamine, carbachol, leukotriene D4, and the thromboxane A2 mimetic U46619 caused robust contractions. Although the responses to contractile agonists (histamine, carbachol, and leukotriene D4) were similar, the contractile responses to house dust mite extract (HDM) in ILBs from HDM-sensitized and challenged guinea pigs were significantly greater than those from sensitized-only control guinea pigs. Similarly to isolated human small airways, the antigen response was abolished by inhibitors to mast cell mediators such as histamine, leukotrienes, and prostanoids. This study presents, for the first time, an investigation of bronchial responses using a guinea pig asthma model, examining airways with pathophysiological features similar to those of asthmatic individuals and comparing them to matched controls. Moreover, the results suggest the potential of mast cells in the development of asthma. NEW & NOTEWORTHY: A protocol to avoid postmortem constriction in isolated intralobular bronchi from guinea pigs was established. A new model makes it possible to investigate bronchial responses in airways with asthmatic features. Increased responses in bronchi from the guinea pig asthma model suggest the importance of mast cells in asthma. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
