Background

Asthma and COPD are non-infectious inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract. Allergic rhinitis can be assumed as an intermediate condition between healthy and asthmatic state. Eotaxins are important indicators of allergic reaction. They are strong chemoattractants mainly for eosinophils but also for other cells.

Objective

We measured the level of eotaxin expression and inflammatory cell count in the material from nasal brushing in healthy controls and in patients with allergic rhinitis, asthma, and COPD. We studied the correlation between the eotaxin gene expression level in the material from nasal brushing and respiratory tests in asthma and COPD patients.

Methods

Expression of eotaxins was measured using quantitative RT-PCR. Number of eotaxin transcript copies was evaluated using real time PCR standard curve method.

Results

Of all eotaxins CCL24 had the highest expression in the material from nasal brushing, and its level was increased in allergic asthma. CCL11 was significantly increased in the material from nasal brushing of COPD patients. Increased levels of all three eotaxins were observed in the material from nasal brushing of patients with allergic rhinitis in season. The levels of CCL26 expression and FEV1/FVC factor were correlated negatively in the asthma group and positively in the COPD group.

Conclusions

Eotaxins are crucial factors of allergic, asthmatic and also COPD inflammatory reactions. Our results suggest a dual role of CCL26 - it can act as a negative regulator for neutrophils in COPD, while in asthma it may act as a chemoatractant of eosinophils and other cells into the lung."xsd:string
