“…For example, apoA-I mimetic peptides prevented increases in neutrophilic airway inflammation in OVA-challenged Apoa1-deficient mice (57). Similarly, administration of apoA-I mimetic peptides or human apoA-I to murine models of experimental allergic asthma suppressed airway inflammation with decreases in BALF inflammatory cells (e.g., eosinophils, neutrophils, and lymphocytes), type 2 and type 17 cytokines, airway epithelial cytokines (IL-25, IL-33, thymic stromal lymphopoietin), C-C chemokines, and alternative macrophage activation, and increased lipoxin A4 (63,71,72). In addition, apoA-I mimetic peptides or human apoA-I attenuated increases in AHR, MCM, transforming growth factor (TGF)-b, and lung collagen deposition, and improved airway epithelial cell barrier function.…”
