The role of an interleukin (IL)-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) on the development of airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR) and airway inflammation following acute O3 exposure in mice was investigated. Exposure of C57/BL6 mice to O3 at a concentration of 2.0 ppm or filtered air for 3 h resulted in increases in airway responsiveness to inhaled methacholine (MCh) 8 and 16 h after the exposure, and an increase in neutrophils in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid. IL-1ß expression, assessed by gene microarray, was increased 2-fold 4 h after O3 exposure, and returned to baseline levels by 24 h. Levels of IL-1ß in lung homogenates were also increased 8 h after O3 exposure. Administration of (human) IL-1Ra before and after O3 exposure prevented development of AHR and decreased BAL fluid neutrophilia. Increases in chemokine levels in lung homogenates, tumor necrosis factor- , MIP-2, and keratinocyte chemoattractant following O3 exposure were prevented by IL-1Ra. Inhalation of dexamethasone, an inhibitor of IL-1 production, blocked the development of AHR, BAL fluid neutrophilia, and decreased levels of IL-1 following O3 exposure. In summary, acute exposure to O3 induces AHR, neutrophilic inflammation, epithelial damage, and IL-1. An IL-1Ra effectively prevents the development of altered airway function, inflammation, and structural damage.
