The aim of this work was to examine the effects of chlorine (Cl2) gas inhalation on airway dysfunction in a mouse model of irritant-induced asthma. Cl2 inhalation induces airway hyperresponsiveness (AHR), bronchial epithelial cell damage, increased oxidative stress and airway inflammation, characterized by neutrophilia. While the effects of Cl2 inhalation had been previously characterized, mechanisms driving airway injury induced by Cl2 remained elusive. We hypothesized that oxidative stress following Cl2 was pivotally involved in mechanisms leading to airway injury. First, using antioxidants we aimed to further characterize the effects of Cl2 inhalation by evaluating airway mechanics, pulmonary antioxidant activity, lung inflammatory pr...
