Abstract
Cough elicitation and major physiological factors influencing cough occurrence were investigated in congenitally bronchial-hypersensitive (BHS) and -hyposensitive (BHR) guinea pigs exposed to citric acid (0.3 M) aerosol for 10 min. The number of cough in BHS was significantly larger than in BHR, while the latency to cough in BHS was significantly shorter than in BHR. Pretreatment with atropine (0.2%), lidocaine (2%) or salbutamol (0.1%) aerosol and desensitization of C-fibers with capsaicin (100 mg/kg) decreased the cough numbers in both BHS and BHR. The salbutamol, atropine and capsaicin pretreatments prolonged the cough latency in BHS, but only salbutamol prolonged the latency in BHR. After salbutamol pretreatment all BHR guinea pigs exhibited cough, while 66.7% of BHS guinea pigs exhibited it. Vagal blocking by atropine suppressed coughing in both BHS and BHR. Only a small number (33.3%) of BHR guinea pigs and no BHR guinea pigs exhibited a cough response after capsaicin and lidocaine pretreatment whereas many BHS guinea pigs still produced cough after such pretreatment. The present study demonstrated that the cough responsiveness to citric acid aerosol was significantly higher in BHS than in BHR. It was revealed that airway smooth muscle contraction and functional and/or morphological development of airway nervous receptors, especially C-fiber endings, contributed to aggravation of coughing in BHS.<br>
