Abstract Background Overactivation of nuclear factor kB NF-kB orchestrates airway eosinophilia but does not dampen airway hyperresponsiveness in asthma. NF-kB repression by arsenic trioxide As2O3 contributes to apoptosis of eosinophils EOS in airways. Here we provide evidence that As2O3 abrogates allergen OVA -induced airway eosinophilia by modulating the expression of IkBo. an NF-kB inhibitory protein and decreases the airway hyperresponsiveness. Methods Using a murine model of asthma the airway hyperresponsiveness was conducted by barometric whole-body plethysmography. Airway eosinophilia OVA-specific IgE in .
