Abstract
Purpose Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects millions of people worldwide. Obesity is commonly seen concomitantly with COPD. People with COPD have reduced quality of life, reduced physical activity, chronic respiratory symptoms, and may suffer from frequent clinical exacerbations. Liraglutide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) approved for weight loss and treatment of type-2 diabetes mellitus. In addition, liraglutide exerts anti-inflammatory actions by reducing IL-6 and MCP-1 levels. We investigated the effect of liraglutide on pulmonary function in people suffering from obesity and COPD. Patients and Methods In this controlled, double-blind trial, 40 people with obesity and COPD from two outpatient clinics were allocated randomly to receive liraglutide (3.0 mg, s.c.) or placebo (s.c.) for 40 weeks. At baseline and after 4, 20, 40, and 44 weeks, participants underwent pulmonary-function tests, 6-min walking test, and replied to a questionnaire regarding the clinical impact of COPD (COPD assessment test (CAT)-score). Results Compared with placebo, liraglutide use resulted in significant weight loss, increased forced vital capacity (FVC) and carbon monoxide diffusion capacity, and improved CAT-score. We found no significant changes in forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/FVC, or 6-min walking distance. Conclusion In patients suffering from obesity and COPD, 40 weeks of treatment with liraglutide improved some measures of pulmonary function. Our study suggests that liraglutide at 3.0 mg may be appropriate treatment in patients with obesity and COPD.

Abstract
AIMS The present study explored the function and regulatory mechanism of High mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) in asthma. MAIN METHODS OVA (ovalbumin)-induced asthmatic mice model and LPS-treated cellular model were established in this study. Airway inflammation was measured through detecting the expression of IL-4, IL-5, IL-13 and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) in serum and BALF (bronchoalveolar lavage fluid) by ELISA kits. Bioinformatics predictive analysis, ChIP assays, Luciferase reporter assay and Western blotting were used to explore the relation between HMGB1 and HSF1 (Heat shock factor 1). KEY FINDINGS HMGB1 expression was increased in OVA-induced asthmatic mice. Silencing HMGB1 attenuated the increasing of IgE, inflammatory factors (IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13), and airway hyperresponsiveness that induced by OVA. In addition, our study found that HSF1 directly bind with the HMGB1 promoter and negatively regulation of HMGB1. HSF-1 were upregulated in OVA-induced asthmatic mice, and knockdown of HSF1 aggravated the OVA-induced airway inflammation and airway hyperreactivity in mice may through promoting the expression of HMGB1 and the activation of the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/Myeloid differentiation primary response 88 (MyD88)/Nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) signal pathway. SIGNIFICANCE The expression of HMGB1 could be negatively regulated by HSF1, and the TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB signal pathway was involved in HSF1/HMGB1-mediated regulation of asthma.

Abstract
Severe helminth infections are negatively associated to allergic diseases like asthma; therefore, the immunomodulatory properties of parasite-derived components have been analyzed, raising the possibility of their use as anti-inflammatory molecules. We evaluated the immunomodulatory properties of Ascaris lumbricoides recombinant cysteine protease inhibitor (rAl-CPI) in a mouse model of allergic airway inflammation induced by the house dust mite (HDM) Blomia tropicalis and its effects on human monocyte-derived dendritic cells (HmoDCs). The B. tropicalis sensitized/challenged mice developed extensive cellular airway inflammatory response, which was significantly reduced upon treatment with rAl-CPI prior to B. tropicalis sensitization, affecting particularly the perivascular/peribronchial infiltrate cells, eosinophils/neutrophils, and goblet cells. A significant decrease of Th2 cytokines, total, and specific IgE antibodies was observed in rAl-CPI treated mice. The antibody response was biased to IgG, mainly IgG2a. Administration of rAl-CPI-alone and rAl-CPI before mite sensitization were associated with a significant increase of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in spleen and elevated IL-10 levels in BAL and splenocytes culture supernatants, which was partially affected by anti-IL10 receptor use. In vitro, rAl-CPI showed a modulatory effect on HmoDCs, lowering the expression of HLA-DR, CD83, and CD86, while inducing IL-10 and IL-6 production. This suggests an inhibition of HmoDC maturation and a possible link with the inhibition of the allergic response observed in the murine model.

Abstract
The 'exterior-interior relationship between the lung and the large intestine' is a classical basic theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The present study aimed to investigate the roles of the toll like receptor/nuclear factor‑κB (TLR/NF‑κB) signaling pathway in the mutual interactions between the lung and the large intestine. A rat model of allergic asthma complicated with intestinal flora disorder was established by oral administration of Candida albicans and intraperitoneal injection with ovalbumin. The number of inflammatory cells and expression levels immunoglobulin (Ig)E, secretory IgA, interleukin (IL)‑4 and interferon‑γ in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were subsequently measured. Bacterial colonies and expression of 16S ribosomal DNA were studied in feces samples and pathological alterations of lung tissues were identified. Furthermore, the expression levels of genes associated with the TLR/NF‑κB signaling pathway in the lung and intestinal tissues were determined by reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The results of the present study indicated that, in the rat model of allergic asthma complicated with intestinal flora disorder, the expression levels of IL‑4 and IgE, and the numbers of inflammatory cells and C. albicans increased, and marked inflammatory cell infiltration was observed in lung tissues, suggesting that the animal model was successfully established. Furthermore, the present results revealed the mRNA expression levels of genes associated with the TLR/NF‑κB signaling (including myeloid differentiation primary response 88, TNF receptor associated factor 6 and β‑arrestin) were upregulated in both of the lung and intestinal tissues of the model group rats. Collectively, the results demonstrated that the TLR/NF‑κB signaling may serve roles in the mutual interactions between the lung and the large intestine, and TLR and NF‑κB may be potential targets for the treatment of lung diseases complicated with intestinal disorders.

Abstract
Objectives Sceptridium ternatum is an expectorant in traditional
Chinese medicine and is prescribed for the treatment of asthma. The study
aim was to screen Sceptridium ternatum for ingredients with
antitussive and antiasthmatic effects and to study their associated
mechanisms. Methods Cough in mice was induced using ammonia. Cough latency and the number of
coughs within 3 minutes were determined. Airway responsiveness was assessed
using ovalbumin as a sensitizer and characteristic asthma indicators were
measured. Results Chloroform and ethyl acetate extracts significantly reduced the number of
coughs within 3 minutes, tidal volume, and the percentage of eosinophilic
granulocytes, lymphocytes and neutrophils. All extracts decreased airway
responsiveness in asthmatic mice compared with the untreated group.
Petroleum ether, chloroform and n-butanol extracts lowered the Penh values
of asthmatic mice. Petroleum ether and ethyl acetate extracts greatly
reduced interleukin-4 expression and the interleukin-4/interferon gamma
ratio. Compared with the model group, all extracts reduced mRNA expression
of the cysteinyl leukotriene receptor-1 (CysLT1). Conclusions Chloroform extract and ethyl acetate extract displayed obvious antitussive
effects and reduced airway inflammation. Thus, these two extracts contain
the effective ingredients of Sceptridium ternatum. The
active mechanism was ascribed to inhibition of mRNA expression of the
CysLT1 receptor in mice with bronchial asthma.
