Global air pollution and diesel exhaust particles (DEPs) generated by intratracheal instillation aggravate asthma. In this study, we evaluated the effect of probiotics via tracheal- or oral-route administration on allergies or asthma. We continuously perfused rats daily, using the oral and tracheal routes, with approximately 106–108 CFU probiotics, for 4 weeks. During this period, we used OVA-sensitized rats to build the asthma models. We orally or intratracheally administered Lactobacillus paracasei 33 (LP33) to the rats, which reduced the number of total inflammatory cells, lymphocytes, and eosinophils in the bronchoalveolar-lavage fluid, the IgE concentration, and the cytokine levels of TH2 cells, but we found no significant difference in the cytokine levels of TH1 cells. LP33 can be used to prevent asthmatic allergic reactions induced by aerosol particles. Nevertheless, the dosage form or use of LP33 needs to be adjusted to reduce the irritation of lung tissues, which may produce lesions of the trachea. We observed that DEP dosage can alleviate emphysema, and that LP33 has a substantial effect on improving or slowing allergic asthma.
