The aim of this study was to elucidate the role of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) on asthma-related cough in guinea pigs. Animals were immunosensitized and repeatedly challenged with ovalbumin as an antigen. Coughs were induced by the inhalation of 10−5 M capsaicin solution for 10 min. Thromboxane synthetase (TxS) inhibitor OKY-046 and thromboxane-receptor antagonist AA-2414 significantly inhibited cough responses in repeatedly challenged animals. Inhalation of TxA2 mimic STA-2- potentiated cough responses in normal and immunosensitized animals but not in repeatedly challenged ones. Moreover, STA-2-potentiated coughs were inhibited by administration of neurokinin-receptor antagonist FK-224. In repeatedly challenged animals, concentration of TxB2 in airway lavage fluid, expression of TxS mRNA in tracheal epithelia, and the immunostaining intensity against TxS in mucous cells of the epithelium significantly increased compared with normal and sensitized animals. These results suggest that TxA2 derived from mucous cells potentiated cough responses to capsaicin in allergic airway inflammation.
