Abstract | Background: Clinical research supports that exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is caused by hyperosmolar triggering of mast cells. The reaction can be mimicked by inhalation of mannitol, but it has paradoxically previously not been possible to replicate this mode of action of mannitol in isolated airways. Objective: We sought to establish an ex vivo model of EIB in human small bronchi. Methods: Small bronchi (inner diameter, 0.5-2 mm) from macroscopically healthy human lung tissue were obtained from 48 patients and mounted in organ baths. Contractions and mediator release were analyzed after challenge with hyperosmolar mannitol (850 mOsm). Results: Ten minutes of exposure to mannitol caused a small initial contraction (12% ± 1% of maximum) that was followed by a second and much larger contraction (maximum effect [E Conclusion: This new protocol established an in vitro model for studies of EIB in isolated human bronchi. The IP receptor might be a new target for asthma treatment. |
