Effect of Maxingganshi decoction on the expression of STAT4 and STAT6 in lung tissues of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

摘要

Objective:To investigate the effect of Maxingganshi decoction on the expression of STAT4 and STAT6 in lung tissues of rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:A total of 30 COPD Wistar rat models with phlegm-heat depression and lung depression were established, with half male and half female. The 30 model rats were fed in different cages, weighed and labeled. They were randomly divided into three groups: Maxingganshi decoction group, roxithromycin tablets control group, model control group. At the same time, 10 normal rats were selected as a blank control group. The white blood cell count and other cell count levels in the alveolar lavage fluid of the rats in the four groups, as well as the STAT4 and STAT6 protein levels in the lung tissues, were observed and compared.Results: After treatment, the white cell counts in Maxingganshi decoction group were significantly higher than that of the model control group (P0.05). After treatment, STAT4 protein levels in roxithromycin tablets control group and Maxingganshi decoction group were lower than that in the model control group (P0.05), suggesting that the effect of Maxingganshi decoction was similar to that of roxithromycin tablets.Conclusions: The action mechanism of Maxingganshi decoction group treating COPD may be through the STAT4 and STAT6 protein expression level to impose an effect, and thus interfere with IL-12 / STAT4 and IL-4 / STAT6 these two signaling pathways of Th1 cells and Th2 cells in the body of the gene expression, inhibiting the Th1 polarization and adjusting the imbalance of Thl/Th2 cells, so as to lower inflammatory response mediated by T cells and various kinds of pathological damage.
