Inflammation and immune stress of obese asthmatic rats by adipocytokines / 中国生化药物杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the Inflammation and immune stress of obese asthmatic rats by adipocytokines.Methods Fourty C57BL/6 J mice were randomly divided into control group, obese group, asthma group and obese asthma group.Mice in the control group were fed normal diet and PBS, high-fat diet(75% normal diet, 10% egg yolk powder, lard 10%, 5% sugar)and PBS in obese group, normal diet and OVA(PBS)in asthma group and fat diet and OVA(PBS)in obese asthma group.Detect the leptin, adiponectin, resistin, IL-4, IFN-γ, IL-17 content with ELISA in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF).Using Pearson correlation to analyze and evaluate these factors' correlation in plasma and BALF.Results The difference of leptin, adiponectin, resistin in plasma and BALF(excepted leptin)between four groups were statistically significant (P<0.05), the leptin levels between plasma and BALF has a positive correlation(R2=0.8215, P<0.05)in obese mice, there was no correlation between plasma and BALF for the adiponectin, resistin.The adiponectin content and IFN-γ levels were also negatively correlated(R2=0.9146, P<0.05)in BALF, while there was no correlation between IL-4,IL-17 and leptin, adiponectin, resistin.Conclusion Adipocytokines has a regulatory function of the immune response in obese asthmatic rats, and participate the inflammatory reaction.
