[en] The aim of this work was to measure the myeloperoxidase (MPO) concentration in bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid collected from horses with recurrent airway obstruction (RAO), both in crisis and in remission, as well as from healthy horses. Seven horses with RAO were exposed to moldy hay until the maximum change in pleural pressure was greater than 1.5 kPa. At that point, BAL was performed, and the total cell counts and percentages in the fluid were immediately determined. To measure the MPO concentration in BAL-fluid supernatant, we used a specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with polyclonal antibodies against equine MPO. The tests were repeated on the horses with RAO after they had spent 2 mo on pasture. Six healthy horses serving as controls underwent the same tests. The absolute and relative neutrophil counts and the MPO concentration in the BAL fluid were significantly greater in the horses with an RAO crisis than in the control horses. After 2 mo on pasture, the horses that had been in RAO crisis were clinically normal, and their neutrophil counts and MPO levels in BAL fluid had significantly decreased; during remission their neutrophil counts were not significantly different from those in the healthy horses, but their MPO concentration remained significantly higher. This study showed that determining the MPO concentration in a horse's BAL fluid is technically possible and that during remission from RAO the concentration remains higher than normal. Thus, MPO may be a marker of neutrophil presence and activation in the lower airways. [fr] Le but de cette étude était de mesurer la concentration de myéloperoxydase (MPO) dans le liquide de lavage broncho-alvéolaire (BAL) récolté chez des chevaux avec obstruction respiratoire récurrente (RAO), en période de crise et en rémission, ainsi que chez des chevaux en santé. Sept chevaux avec RAO ont été exposés à du foin moisi jusqu’à ce que le changement maximal dans la pression pleurale soit plus grand que 1,5 kPa. À cet instant on procéda au BAL et le dénombrement cellulaire total de même que les pourcentages dans le liquide furent immédiatement déterminés. Afin de mesurer la concentration de MPO dans le liquide de BAL on procéda à une épreuve immunoenzymatique spécifique utilisant des anticorps polyclonaux dirigés contre MPO. Les épreuves ont été répétées chez les chevaux avec RAO après qu’ils eurent passé 2 mois au pâturage. Six chevaux en santé servant de témoin ont subi les mêmes tests. Les comptes absolus et relatifs de neutrophiles et les concentrations de MPO dans le liquide de BAL étaient significativement plus élevés chez les chevaux avec RAO en période de crise que chez les chevaux témoins. Après 2 mois au pâturage, les chevaux qui avaient été en crise de RAO étaient cliniquement normaux et leurs comptes en neutrophiles et niveaux de MPO dans le liquide de BAL avaient diminué de manière significative; durant la rémission les comptes de neutrophiles n’étaient pas significativement différents de ceux des chevaux témoins, mais les concentrations de MPO sont demeurées significativement plus élevées. Cette étude a permis de démontrer qu’il était techniquement possible de déterminer la concentration de MPO dans du liquide de BAL équin et que durant la période de rémission d’une crise de RAO la concentration est demeurée plus élevée que la normale. Ainsi, la MPO pourrait être un marqueur de la présence et de l’activation des neutrophiles dans les voies respiratoires inférieures.
