Abstract:The etiology of asthma is complex, and the pathogenesis can be summarized as airway immune-inflammation mechanism, neuromodulation mechanism and their interaction. Airway non-adrenergic non-cholinergic (NANC) nerves and the neurotransmitters they release can interfere with the onset of asthma by regulating airway smooth muscle contraction, mucus secretion, reversible airway obstruction, and airway hyperresponsiveness. Nerve growth factor affects the plasticity of NANC nerve by regulating the neurokinin released by NANC nerve, such as substance P. The syndrome differentiation of asthma in traditional Chinese medicine is “wheezing disease” and “gasp syndrome”. Current studies on the regulation of airway inflammation in asthma by traditional Chinese medicine are more detailed, while reports on the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine in the NANC nerve and its neurotransmitters in asthma are rare. In this paper, the intervention of traditional Chinese medicine on the NANC nerve and its neurotransmitters and related downstream pathways, as well as the influence of nerve growth factor on the NANC nerve are briefly reviewed in recent years, in order to broaden the thinking for clinical and experimental studies.
