丹参注射液联合地塞米松对哮喘大鼠CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞的影响

摘要

目的 探讨丹参注射液联合地塞米松(DXM)抑制哮喘气道炎症的免疫学机制.方法 50只Wistar大鼠随机分成正常对照(NC)组、哮喘组、丹参组、DXM组、联合用药组,计数支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中细胞总数并分类,HE染色行肺组织病理学检查,流式细胞仪检测外周血单个核细胞(PBMCs)中CD4+CD25+调节性T细胞(CD4+CD25+Treg)比例,ELISA检测BALF中IL-4、IL-5含量.结果 与哮喘组比较,药物干预组细胞总数、中性粒细胞(Neu)、淋巴细胞(Lym)、嗜酸性粒细胞(Eos)百分率下降(P<0.05,P<0.01),联合用药组下降程度大于丹参组、DXM组(P<0.05).哮喘组呈显著炎症变化,丹参组呈中度炎症变化,DXM组呈轻度炎症变化,联合用药组无炎症改变.与哮喘组比较,药物干预组CD4+CD25+Treg/CD4+T升高(P<0.05),IL4、IL-5含量下降(P<0.05),联合用药组CD4+CD25+ Tree/CD4+T升高程度和IL-4、IL-5下降程度大于丹参组和DXM组(P<0.05).结论 丹参注射液具有抑制哮喘大鼠气道炎症的作用,和DXM联合应用后,抑制作用更加明显,该作用可能和促进CD4+CD25+Treg产生,进而抑制IL-4、IL-5产生,纠正Th1/Th2失衡,最终减轻气道炎症有关.%Objective To investigate the immunological mechanism of inhibitory effect of Danshen injection combined with dexamethasone(DXM) on asthmatic airway inflammation.Methods 50 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control(NC),asthma,Danshen,DXM and Danshen+DXM group.Cytology study of Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was conducted.Pathology of lung tissue was done through HE.Flow eytometry was used to detect CD4+CD25+ regulatory T Cells(CD4+CD25+ Treg) ratio in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).IL-4 and IL-5 levels in BALF were detected by ELISA.Results Total cells number,percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils(Eos) in BALF of the three treated groups were lower than that in asthma group(P<0.05,P<0.01),particularly in Danshen+DXM group,which showed significant difference as compared with the other two treated groups(P<0.05).There was severe inflammation in lung tissue of asthma group,moderate inflammation in Danshen group and DXM group,and no inflammation of Danshen+DXM group.CD4+CD25+ Treg/CD4+ T ratio in the three treated groups were higher than that in asthma group,and the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 were lower than those in asthma group(P<0.05).In Dansben+DXM group,it showed significant difference on the change of CD4+CD25+ Treg,IL-4 and IL-5 as compared with other treated groups(P<0.05).Conclision Danshen injection combined with DXM could suppress airway inflammation in asthmatic rats,which may be through increasing the expression of CD4+CD25+ Treg,decreasing the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 and resuming the balance of Th1/Th2.
