Abstract

Endogenous inhibitory mechanisms promote resolution of inflammation, enhance tissue repair and integrity, and promote homeostasis in the lung. These mechanisms include steroid hormones, regulatory T cells, IL-10, prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin I2, lipoxins, resolvins, protectins, maresins, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor, adrenomedullin, nitric oxide, and carbon monoxide. Here we review the most recent literature regarding these endogenous inhibitory mechanisms in asthma, which remain a promising target for the prevention and treatment of asthma.
