摘要: 目的: 探讨黄芪多糖(astragalus polysaccharide, APS)对哮喘小鼠气道重构的干预作用。方法: 60只4~6周龄SPF(Specific Pathogen Free)级BALB/c小鼠,随机均分为对照组、哮喘组、APS治疗组和地塞米松(dexamethasone, DXM)阳性对照组;用卵蛋白(ovalbumin, OVA)致敏/激发哮喘;APS治疗组和DXM阳性对照组分别用APS和DXM肌肉注射治疗。采用二步法免疫组化技术对小鼠肺组织α平滑肌肌动蛋白(smooth muscle actin-α, α-SMA)表达进行检测, 采用计算机图像分析系统对气道重塑进行分析。结果: 与对照组对比,哮喘组小鼠肺泡灌洗液(bronchoalveolar lavage fliud, BALF)中白细胞计数显著增加(P<0.01),α-SMA强阳性表达,气道壁厚度(d/Pi)、气道壁面积(WA/Pi)、气道平滑肌面积(Wam/Pi)和平滑肌细胞计数(N/Pi)均明显增加(P<0.05 或P<0.01);与哮喘组对比,APS治疗组和DXM阳性对照组BALF中细胞计数显著减少(P<0.001),α-SMA阳性表达,d/Pi、WA/Pi、Wam/Pi和N/Pi均显著减小(P<0.05或P<0.01)。结论: APS可抑制哮喘小鼠的气道重塑,这种抑制作用可能是通过调节α-SMA的表达来实现的。

Abstract: AIM:To evaluate the effects of astragalus polysaccharide (APS) on the airway remodeling in asthmatic mice. METHODS: Sixty SPF BALB/c mouse were randomly divided into four groups: control group, asthmatic model group, APS treatment group and dexamethasone (DXM) treatment group. The experimental groups were sensitized with ovalbumin (OVA), cured with APS or DXM, then excited with 1%OVA. The method of two-step immunohistochemistry and techniques of computer-assisted image analysis were used to detect the changes of the airway remodelling and the expression of α-SMA. RESULTS: Compared with those in the control group, in asthmatic model group, the counts of inflammation cells were significantly increased (P<0.01); the expression of α-SMA was strongly positive; while the wall thickness(d/Pi) and wall area(WA/Pi) of the bronchi were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01), and so did the area of smooth muscle(Wam/Pi) and the count of smooth muscle cells(N/Pi)(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with the asthmatic model group, in both APS inhalation group and DXM treatment group, the results of α-SMA showed positive expression, the numbers of inflammation cells were notably decreased (P<0.01), there also were great decreases of d/Pi,WA/Pi,Wam/Pi and N/Pi. CONCLUSION: With the treatment of APS, the course of the airway remodeling can be inhibited. The regulation on the expression level of α-SMA may be one of the mechanisms controlling the airway remodeling.
