Abstract: AIM: To observe the expressions of Grouth-Related Oncogen-a(GROa) in rat asthma model and effects of dexamethasone. METHODS: In this experiment, the rat model of asthma were randomly divided into three groups on average, incuding asthma group,control group and dexamethasone treated group.Blood PMN were isolated and purified.The expressions of GROa protein in bronchial wall and in blood PMN were detected by immunohistochemical method. Numbers of PMN were calculated in lung tissue. RESULTS: Levels of GROa protein in asthma group(0.138±0.009,Optical density) and in dexamethasone treated group(0.105±0.012, Optical density)were significant higher than those in control group(0.077±0.010,Optical density) (P<0.01) in bronchial wall. And levels of GROa protein in dexamethasone treated group were significantly decreased compared to asthma gnoup(PK 0.01). While in blood PMN,The expressions of GROa protein in asthma group(0.211土0.017, Optical density) and in dexamethasone treated goup(0.128±0.012, Optical densirty) were significant higher than those in control group(0.081±0.008,Optical density)(P<0.01). And levels of GROa protein in dexamethasone treated group were significantly decreased compared to asthma group(P<0.01). And the levels of G ROa protein in bronchial wall and blood PMN were significant different between dexamethasone treated group and those in asthma group(P<0.01). There numbers of PMN in lung tissue were significant different among three goups, in control group (7±2)< in asthma group(26±6)CONCLUSION: In bronchial wall and in blood PMN,levels of GROa protein were increased in rat asthma. And numbers of PMN in lung tissue were increased either. They are involved in inflammation of rat asthma model. The decreased inflammation of asthma by dexamethasone maybe via decreased synthesis of GROa protein. But dexamethasone can increasing PMN influxing into lung tissue. The influx of PMN into lung tissue may be corelated with GROa protein.
