Airway smooth muscle (ASM) hyperconstriction is the cause of many respiratory diseases including asthma. In vitro testing has demonstrated that the active forces of ASM are reduced by length oscillation (LO) mimicking tidal breathing. In a previous study, we demonstrated that this force reduction can be further enhanced when superimposing oscillations (with certain frequencies and amplitudes) on this LO In contrast, it has been reported that pressurizing the lung may help in relieving asthmatic airway constrictions. Ultimately, this pressurizing stretches the ASM and may disturb the acto-myosin cross-bridges in a manner similar to LO; however, it is of a static rather than dynamic nature. This research investigates the effect of combining both prestretch- and LO-applications on contracted porcine ASM Isolated porcine ASM relaxation was tested with a 0.56%, 2%, or 4% stretch of its reference length (L) in addition to LO These oscillations are composed of a main wave mimicking the normal breathing (frequency of 0.33 Hz and amplitude of 4% L) and superimposed oscillations (frequencies of 20, 30, 40, 60 and 80 Hz and amplitude of 1% L). The oscillations were maintained for 10 min. The results demonstrate that a prestretch of 0.56% and 2% L does enhance the contracted ASM relaxation at certain superimposed length oscillations frequencies while of 4% L does not.
气道平滑肌(ASM)过度收缩是包括哮喘在内的许多呼吸系统疾病的病因。体外测试表明,模拟潮式呼吸的长度振荡(LO)会降低ASM的主动力。在先前的一项研究中,我们证明,在此类LO上叠加振荡(具有特定频率和振幅)时,这种力的降低会进一步增强。相比之下,据报道,对肺部加压可能有助于缓解哮喘性气道收缩。最终,这种加压会拉伸ASM,并可能以类似于LO的方式干扰肌动蛋白-肌球蛋白横桥;然而,它是静态而非动态的。本研究调查了预拉伸和LO联合应用对收缩状态的猪ASM的影响。除了LO之外,还对分离出的猪ASM进行了0.56%、2%或4%的参考长度(L)拉伸测试。这些振荡由一个模拟正常呼吸的主波(频率为0.33Hz,振幅为4%L)和叠加振荡(频率为20、30、40、60和80Hz,振幅为1%L)组成。振荡持续10分钟。结果表明,0.56%和2%L的预拉伸在某些叠加长度振荡频率下确实会增强收缩的ASM的松弛,而4%L的预拉伸则不会。
