Résumé
Objective To explore the expression of GATA-3 in pulmonary tissue of asthmatic mice and the inhibitory effect of dexamethsone(Dex)on it.Methods The Blab/c mice asthma model was induced by ovalbumin(OVA) with classic method.Twenty-four male mice were randomly divided into control group,asthmatic group and Dex treated group.The expression of GATA-3 protein was measured by immunohistochemical staining.The expression of GATA-3 mRNA was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The level of IL-4 in mice spleen CD4 T cell was measured by flow cytometry.The airway inflammation was evaluated by HE staining.Results The percentages of postive GATA-3,GATA-3 mRNA and IL-4 protein of asthmatic group were significantly higher than those of control group(P
Résumé
Objective To investigate the expressions and significances of GATA-3 and Th2 cytokines in asthmatic mice.Methods Sixteen BALB/c mice were randomly divided into control group and asthmatic group.The pathological changes in trachial and pulmonary tissue were observed with HE staining method.The GATA-3 mRNA expression in pulmonary tissue was messured with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).And the IL-5,IL-13 proteins in pulmonary tissue were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results HE staining showed infiltration of a great deal of inflammatory cells around the bronchial wall in asthmatic group,while there was no obvious infiltration in control group;Compared with control group,the expressions of GATA-3 mRNA and IL-5,IL-13 protein in pulmonary tissue increased significantly(Pa
