dc.description.abstractAllergic asthma is a chronic airway inflammatory response to different triggers like inhaled allergens. Excessive ATP in fluids from patients with asthma is considered an inflammatory signal and an important autocrine/paracrine modulator of airway physiology. Here, we investigated the deleterious effect of increased extracellular ATP (eATP) concentration on the mucociliary clearance (MCC) effectiveness and determined the role of ATP releasing channels during airway inflammation in an ovalbumin (OVA)-sensitized mouse model. Our allergic mouse model exhibited high levels of eATP measured in the tracheal fluid with a luciferin-luciferase assay and reduced MCC velocity determined by microspheres tracking in the trachea ex vivo. Addition of ATP had a dual effect on MCC, where lower ATP concentration (mu M) increased microspheres velocity, whereas higher concentration (mM) transiently stopped microspheres movement. Also, an augmented ethidium bromide uptake by the allergic tracheal airway epithelium suggests an increase in ATP release channel functionality during inflammatory conditions. The use of carbenoxolone, a nonspecific inhibitor of connexin and pannexini channels reduced the eATP concentration in the allergic mouse tracheal fluid and dye uptake by the airway epithelium, providing evidence that these ATP release channels are facilitating the net flux of ATP to the lumen during airway inflammation. However, only the specific inhibition of pannexinl with (10)Panx peptide significantly reduced eATP in bronchoalveolar lavage and decreased airway hyperresponsiveness in OVA-allergic mouse model. These data provide evidence that blocking eATP may be a pharmacological alternative to be explored in rescue therapy during episodes of airflow restriction in patients with asthma.
