摘要
目的:初步探讨地塞米松对小鼠哮喘模型哮喘进展过程中TH细胞因子的影响及其机制。方法:18只BALB/c小鼠随机分为正常对照组、哮喘组和地塞米松处理组,每组各6只。运用流式细胞仪检测小鼠脾细胞胞内细胞因子白细胞介素-4和干扰素-γ的表达,用Western blotting方法检测各组小鼠肺组织转录因子T-bet和GATA-3的表达,用组织学观察肺组织炎症程度。结果:哮喘鼠T细胞内IL-4/IFN-γ比值明显高于正常组(P(0.01);地塞米松组细胞内IL-4/IFN-γ比值明显低于哮喘组(P(0.01)。哮喘组肺组织T-bet的表达明显低于正常对照组(P(0.01),GATA-3明显高于正常对照组(P(0.01);地塞米松组的小鼠肺组织T-bet和GATA-3的表达均明显低于哮喘组(P(0.01),GATA-3降低更为明显。结论:调控TH1和TH2细胞转化过程中重要转录因子T-bet和GATA-3的表达,可以改变IL-4/IFN-γ比值,纠正哮喘的TH2漂移,从而改善相应的炎性症状,这可能是地塞米松抑制哮喘的重要机制之一。
