Dynamic Expression of IL-1β, IL-4, IFN-γ and TGFβ1 in Serum and Colon Tissue in Rats with Ulcerative Colitis of Spleen-Kidney Yang Deficiency Type / 中国中医药信息杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To observe the change rules of expressions of IL-1β, IL-4, IFN-γ and TGF-β1 in serum and colon tissue in rats with ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type; To explore the action in the progress of ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type.MethodsComposite method was used to establish rat models with ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type. 75 Wistar rats were randomly divided into blank group, model 3 d group, model 7 d group and model 21 d group. ELISA was used to test the levels of IL-1β, IL-4, IFN-γ and TGF-β1 in serum and colon tissue.Results Compared with the blank group, contents of IL-1β and IFN-γ in model group increased significantly (P<0.05,P<0.01), and the contents of IL-4 and TGF-β1 content decreased (P<0.05,P<0.01),especially in the model 7 d group (P<0.01).ConclusionThe pro-inflammatory factor IL-1β, IFN-γ and anti-inflammatory factor IL-4 and TGF-β1 play an important role in rats with ulcerative colitis of spleen-kidney yang deficiency type.
