Particularly highlighted are those models which can serve as in vivocorrelates of diseases most commonly targeted for therapeutic intervention. The format is designed with the laboratory in mind; thus it provides detailed descriptions of the methodologies and uses of the most significant models. Also, new approaches to the development of future models in selected therapeutic areas have been highlighted. While emphasis is on the newest models, new information broadening our under- standing of several well-known models of proven clinical utility is included. In addi- tion, we have provided coverage of transgenic and gene transfer technologies which will undoubtedly serve as tools for many future approaches. Provocative comments on the cutting edge and future directions are meant to stimulate new thinking. Of course, it is important to recognize that the experimental use of animals for human benefit carries with it a solemn responsibility for the welfare of these animals. The reader is referred to the section on current regulations governing animal use which addresses this concern. To fulfill our purpose, the content is organized according to therapeutic areas with the associated models arranged in subcategories of each therapeutic area. Con- cepts presented are discussed in the context of their current practice, including intended purpose, methodology, data and limitations. In this way, emphasis is placed on the usefulness of the models and how they work. Data on activities of key reference compounds and/or standards using graphs, tables and figures to illustrate the function of the model are included. The discussions include ideas on a given model’s clinical correlate. For example, we asked our contributors to answer this question: How does the model mimic what is found in human clinical practice? They have answered this question in many interesting ways. We hope the reader will find the information presented here useful for his or her own endeavours investigating processes of inflammation and developing therapeu- tics to treat inflammatory diseases. October, 1998 Douglas W. Morgan Lisa A. Marshall ix Preface to the second edition Since our first edition of “In Vivo Models of Inflammation” published in 1999, there has been amazing progress, and an abundance of exciting new information in inflammation research: new technologies, new therapeutics, new understanding of inflammatory processes, … and on and on, have emerged in the past 6 years. Sup- porting all of this are the fundamentals of inflammation research, i.e., the animal models, known mechanisms, and therapeutic standards, that have continued to pro- vide the basis for generating these advances. Given the great progress, we have cho- sen to provide a second edition to our original text. The second edition of “In Vivo Models of Inflammation” comes to you in two volumes and provides an update of the models included in first edition with expand- ed coverage and more models. Again, these volumes emphasize the standard mod- els regarded as the most relevant for their disease area. The intent is to provide the scientist with an up-to-date reference manual for selecting the best animal model for their specific question. Updates on previously described models are specifically focused on references to any additional pharmacology that has been conducted using these systems. The sections on arthritis models have been expanded and now include models relating to osteoarthritis. New areas described herein include mod- els of neurogenic, cancer, and vascular inflammation. Additionally, coverage of in vivotechnologies includes updates on transgenic and gene transfer technologies, and has also been expanded to include chapters on stem cells and nanotechnologies. The second edition continues to emphasize that conducting in vivoresearch car- ries with it a great responsibility for animal respect and welfare. The coverage of this concern has been extended to include chapters describing current regulations in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Japan. The ultimate aim of the second edition is to provide current best practices for obtaining the maximum information from in vivo experimentation, while preserv- ing the dignity and comfort of the animal. We hope the information provided here helps in advancing the reader’s endeav- ors in investigating processes of inflammation and in developing therapeutics to treat inflammatory diseases. May, 2006 Christopher S. Stevenson Lisa A. Marshall Douglas W. Morgan x Asthma William M. Selig1, Eric T. Whalley2and James L. Ellis3 1NitroMed Inc, 125 Spring Street, Lexington, MA 02421, USA; 2BiogenIdec, 14 Cambridge Center, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA; 3Surface Logix Inc, 50 Soldiers Field Place, Brighton, MA 02135, USA Introduction Since the publication of the first edition of ”In Vivo Models of Inflammation” in 1999, evidence has continued to accumulate suggesting that asthma is predomi- nantly a chronic inflammatory condition of the lower airways, characterized by varying degrees of airway obstruction or hyperresponsiveness and long-term ultra- structural abnormalities that may mitigate the effectiveness of some of the current- ly available therapies [1, 2]. These structural changes, which include airway edema, airway epithelial sloughing, increased airway wall thickening (smooth muscle hypertrophy and mucus gland hyperplasia), extracellular matrix abnormalities, and increased airway vascularity all contribute to airway remodeling and fibrosis. The dominant inflammatory cells responsible for initiating or propagating the afore- mentioned airway pathophysiology and subsequent ultrastructural changes include the T cell (Th2), mast cell, eosinophil, basophil, and macrophage [2, 3]. As alluded to in the previously published chapter on in vivo asthma models, much of this evidence continues to be assimilated using various in vivoanimal mod- els (from mouse to primate), and the caveat that these models are not replicas of the human disease and may not be predictive of human outcome still holds. Nonethe- less, there has been a relative explosion in areas such as genomics, bioinformatics, and molecular pharmacology, which has helped us to better understand these vari- ous animal models and apply this understanding to the human condition. This chapter highlights and pays particular attention to the following with respect to animal asthma models: (1) introduction of any new models or procedur- al changes within existing models, (2) new insights into pathogenesis or pathophys- iology provided by the respective animal models of asthma, and (3) novel pharma- cological approaches or new drugs tested in these models. It should be noted that in many of the rodent studies summarized below, airway reactivity or bronchial responsiveness is commonly measured utilizing enhanced pause (Penh).
