Regulation of bronchomotor tone by lung inflation in asthmatic and nonasthmatic subjects

J. E. Fish, M. G. Ankin, J. F. Kelly and V. I. Peterman

We examined the effects of lung inflation on induced airway obstruction in 14 atopic asthmatic and 14 atopic nonasthmatic subjects. Subjects were challenged with aerosols of methacholine (MCh) and pollen antigen (Ag), and the effects of inflation were assessed with partial ad full flow-volume curves and by comparing airway conductance measurements before and after deep inspiration to total lung capacity (TLC). Whereas bronchoconstriction was transiently abolished or reduced with inspiration in nonasthmatics, these effects were absent or diminished in asthmatic subjects. Dissimilarities could not be explained by differences in base-line lung function or degree of obstruction produced. Deep inspiration had a greater effect in reducing airway obstruction produced with MCh than with Ag in nonasthmatics. In addition, atropine pretreatment had no effect on inspiration responses in asthmatics given Ag, suggesting that vagal reflexes were not the cause of an impaired ability to reduce bronchomotor tone by lung inflation. Our findings reveal the existence of an intrinsic means of regulating bronchomotor toe by active changes in lung volume and that such a mechanism is impaired in asthma. We suggest that airway hyperactivity in asthma is perhaps less a reflection of enhanced end-organ responsiveness than a reflection of this impaired capacity.
