    Proteolytic enzymes significantly increase acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction, highlighting their role in bronchial hyperreactivity. Vagus blockade eliminated this response, suggesting sensory receptor involvement in obstructive airway diseases.

    Area of Science:

    • Pulmonology
    • Allergy and Immunology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Bronchial hyperreactivity is a key feature of obstructive airway diseases.
    • It can be triggered by allergens, infections, and other stimuli affecting the bronchial tree.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the influence of proteolytic enzymes on acetylcholine-induced bronchoconstriction.
    • To examine bronchial hyperreactivity following histamine and antigen administration.
    • To assess the role of the vagus nerve in experimentally induced bronchial hyperreactivity.

    Main Methods:

    • Animal models were used to study bronchoconstriction.
    • Inhalation of proteolytic enzymes, histamine, and antigens.
    • Administration of antihistamines and vagus blockade.

    Main Results:

    • Enzyme inhalation led to exaggerated bronchoconstriction in response to acetylcholine.
    • Histamine and antigen administration also induced bronchial hyperreactivity.
    • Vagus blockade completely abolished the bronchoconstrictoric response.

    Conclusions:

    • Proteolytic enzymes can significantly enhance bronchial hyperreactivity.
    • The vagus nerve plays a critical role in mediating experimentally induced bronchial hyperreactivity.
    • Sensory receptors are likely involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial hyperreactivity.
