Abstract | Background: Allergic asthma is a destructive inflammatory process in the respiratory system. The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects of N-acetylcysteine (NAC) have been reported in patients with obstructive pulmonary disease. On the other hand, several studies have shown the modulatory effects of mesenchymal stem cells on the immune system and inflammatory responses. Accordingly, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of administration of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) plus NAC on regulatory T cell system balance in an allergic asthma model. Methods: Eighty Sprague- Dawley rats were randomly divided into the following groups: Control, Plasmalite, Allergic asthma, Allergic asthma + ADSCs, NAC, Allergic asthma + NAC, Allergic asthma + ADSCs + NAC and Allergic asthma + Prednisolone. at the end of the experiment, arterial blood gas analysis, inflammatory cell counts in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), inflammatory cytokine concentration, total IgE and specific OVA-IgE levels, gene expression levels of CD4+-T cell subsets, pulmonary indicators, edema, and lung histopathology were evaluated in all groups. Results: Administration of NAC plus ADSCs demonstrated a significant decrease in total WBC and eosinophil counts, which was in line with remarkable decrease in IL-17 and TNF-α concentrations and increases in IL-10 level compared with other treated groups. NAC plus ADSC treatment showed significant increases in Treg gene expression, although Th17 and Th2 expression significantly decreased compared with that in prednisolone- treated rats. Conclusion: The results of the present study documented that the administration of ADSCs plus NAC has an inhibitory effect on the inflammation caused by allergic asthma in a rat model. The improvement of inflammatory indexes was significantly higher than that with prednisolone treatment. |
