Comparing inhibition effects of four antihistamines on chemokines and cytokines expression of cultured nasal polyps in vitro / 第三军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the inhibition effects of different antihistamines on the expressions of chemokines and cytokines released by nasal polyps in vitro.Methods The fresh nasal polyps resected under endoscope from the patients admitted to our hospital were cultured with mizolastine,cetirizine,loratadine,fexofenadine,dexamethasone,or ciclosporin A respectively for 24 h,with the addition of histamine and arachidonic acid.The total RNA of polyps was obtained and purified with tripure isolation reagent.The mRNA expression levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1),monocyte chemoattractant protein-3(MCP-3),regulated on activation,normal T cell expressed and secreted(RANTES),eotaxin were analyzed by RT-PCR.The concentrations of interleukin(IL)-4,IL-5 and tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?)in cultured supernatant was detected by ELISA.Results The MCP-1 mRNA expression in nasal polyps treated by mizolastine was weaker than those by loratadine and fexofenadine;the MCP-3 mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than those by cetirizine and loratadine;the RANTES mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than those by loratadine and fexofenadine;the eotaxin mRNA expression by mizolastine was weaker than that by cetirizine(all P
