摘要
目的:通过研究黄芪-当归配伍对气道变应性炎症模型大鼠血清干扰素-γ(IFN-γ)、白细胞介素-4(IL-4)含量及肺组织信号转导因子和转录活化因子4(STAT4)、信号转导因子和转录活化因子6(STAT6)表达的影响,探讨黄芪-当归配伍治疗气道变应性炎症的作用机制。方法:采用卵清蛋白(OVA)致敏及喷雾激发的方法造成大鼠气道变应性炎症模型,分别用黄芪、当归、黄芪-当归配伍灌胃给药治疗。应用ELISA方法测定血清中IFN-γ、IL-4含量。应用Western blot方法检测肺组织STAT4、STAT6表达。结果:模型组血清IFN-γ含量降低,IL-4含量升高。黄芪组血清中IFN-γ含量增加,当归组血清中IL-4含量降低,芪归配伍组可增加血清中IFN-γ含量,降低IL-4含量。模型组肺组织STAT6、磷酸化信号转导因子和转录活化因子6(p-STAT6)表达增加,STAT4、磷酸化信号转导因子和转录活化因子4(p-STAT4)表达减少。黄芪组可降低STAT6,p-STAT6表达,增加p-STAT4表达。当归组可降低p-STAT6表达。芪归组可降低STAT6,p-STAT6,增加STAT4,p-STAT4表达。结论:黄芪-当归配伍可能通过抑制STAT6、促进STAT4,调节气道变应性炎症中Th1/Th2细胞因子平衡,从而对气道变应性炎症有抑制作用。
Objective: To observe the influence of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix on level of interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in serum and expression of signal transducers and activators of transcription 6 (STAT6), signal transducers and activators of transcription 4 (STAT4) of airway allergic inflammation in rats, in order to partly show the mechanism of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix in treating airway allergic inflammation. Method: The model of airway allergic inflammation in rats were caused by OVA. Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix were used to control the model rats. The contents of IFN-γ and IL-4 in the serum were detected by ELISA. The expression of STAT6, STAT4 in lung tissue were detected by Western blot. Result: The level of IL-4 in serum of model group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The level of IFN-γ in serum of model group were significantly lower than those inthe control group. Astragali Radix can depress the level of IL-4 in serum, and increase the level of IFN-γ in serum. Angelica can depress the level of IL-4 in serum. Compatibility of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix can depress the level of IL-4 in serum, and increase the level of IFN-γ in serum. Astragali Radix can depress the expression of STAT6, p- STAT6 in lung tissue, and increase the expression of p-STAT4. Angelicae Sinensis Radix can depress the expression of p-STAT6. Compatibility of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix can depress the expression of STAT6, p- STAT6 in lung tissue, and increase the expression of STAT4, p-STAT4. Conclusion: Compatibility of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix may adjust the balance of Thl and Th2 by restaining STAT6 and promoting STAT4 to control the airway allergic inflammation.
