Objective:This study aims to investigate the effects of early postnatal hyperoxia exposure on ovalbumin(OVA)- induced bronchial asthma mice. Methods:Thirty-two female BALB/c pups were randomly assigned to four groups:Room Air-PBS group,Hyperoxia-PBS group,Room Air-OVA group,and Hyperoxia-OVA group,with 8 mice in each group. Mice in Hyperoxia-PBS group and Hyperoxia-OVA group were exposed to hyperoxia(FiO2 ≥ 95%)for 7 days,meanwhile mice in Room Air-PBS group and Room Air-OVA group were raised in room air(FiO2 = 21%). After 7 days,the Hyperoxia-PBS group and Hyperoxia-OVA group were removed from hyperoxia and raised in the same environment with the Room Air-PBS group and the Room Air-OVA group. Mice in Room Air-OVA group and Hyperoxia-OVA group were given intraperitoneal injection of sensitization suspension[OVA 1 mg /mL + Al(OH)3]from d65. All the animals were sacrificed for bronchoalveolar lavage,and the lavage fluid was collected for leukocyte count. The levels of IL-5,IL-12,IL-13 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and IgE in serum were measured by ELISA. The lung tissue of mice in each group was analysis by histological staining for pathological changes. Results:The level of serum IgE in Hyperoxia-OVA group was significantly higher than that in Air -OVA group(P < 0.05);The counts of eosinophils,lymphocytes and monocytes in BALF were increased(P < 0.05),the levels of IL-5 and IL-13 were increased,but the level of IL-12 was decreased(P < 0.05);Inflammatory cells infiltration,bronchial stenosis,and airway wall thickening were observed,airway wall thickness area ratio was increased(P < 0.05),structural remodeling was obvious;radial alveolar count(RAC)was increased significantly(P < 0.05)in the Hyperoxia-OVA group. Conclusion:Early postnatal hyperoxia exposure can aggravate the airway inflammation of ovalbumin induced asthma mice,airway structure remodeling is obvious,but the lung injury is reduced.
