中文摘要
易于复发是变应性鼻炎(AR)治疗的难点,AR在缓解期鼻黏膜仍存在持续性炎症反应(MPI),是其复发的关键,调控MPI局部炎症是减少AR复发的根本。前期根据《内经》理论提出“阳气失于和利”是AR发病和MPI炎症持续的关键,在“和利阳气法”指导下研发的鼻敏康合剂可调控ILCs的平衡治疗AR。最新研究表明,ILC2是MPI关键的细胞免疫基础,在IL-33/ST2的作用下激活并聚集,主导了AR及MPI鼻黏膜的免疫性炎症反应。因此,本课题采用细胞培养、RT-qPCR和Western Blot等技术观察鼻敏康合剂对MPI靶器官鼻腔黏膜IL-33/ST2-ILC2轴关键蛋白及基因(IL-33、ST2、NF-κBp65、p38、JNK、ERK)表达的影响,阐明变应性鼻炎MPI“阳气失于和利”的免疫学机制,探讨鼻敏康合剂调控MPI防止AR复发的机制,为中药防治AR提供科学依据。
英文摘要
The high recurrence rate is a difficult problem in the treatment of AR.The minimum persistent inflammatory(MPI) still exists in the nasal mucosa of patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) in remission stage,which is the key to AR recurrence.Regulation of local inflammation in MPI is the fundamental to reduce AR recurrence.According to the theory of Neijing, it was previously proposed that Yang Qi deficiency is the key factor for the occurrence of AR and the continuation of MPI inflammation. Under the guidance of "Heli Yangqi theory",Bimin Kang Mixture developed can treat AR by regulating the transformation of ILCs subsets.Recent studies have shown that ILC2 is the key cellular immune basis of MPI stage, which is activated and aggregated under the action of IL-33/ST2,and plays a leading role in the immunological inflammatory response of AR and MPI nasal mucosa. Therefore, cell culture,RT qPCR and Western Blot were used in this study objective to observe the effect of Bimin Kang Mixture on the expression of IL-33/ST2-ILC2 axis key proteins and genes (IL-33、ST2、NF-κBp65、p38、JNK、ERK) in nasal mucosa of target organ in MPI stage,and to elucidate the immunological mechanism of Yang Qi deficiency in MPI stage of allergic rhinitis,and to explore the mechanism of Biminkang mixture regulating MPI to prevent ar recurrence, so as to provide scientific basis for the prevention and reatment of AR with traditional Chinese medicine.
背景:.本课题基于“阳气失于和利”是AR和MPI的关键病机理论,在前期课题“和利阳气法”(鼻敏康合剂)调控ILCs的平衡治疗AR基础上,明确IL-33/ST2-ILC2轴活化是AR及MPI的关键免疫机制,鼻敏康合剂可通过调控IL-33/ST2-ILC2轴改善MPI防止AR复发。.研究内容:.1.为了探讨鼻敏康合剂对IL-33/ST2-ILC2的调控作用,我们首先采用OVA诱导建立AR和MPI小鼠模型,给予鼻敏康合剂和氯雷他定阳性对照药进行干预。通过行为学评估、病理染色以及ELISA技术检测鼻敏康合剂干预后MPI小鼠症状以及鼻部炎症反应变化。并使用RT-qPCR和Western blot 技术检测鼻敏康合剂干预后IL-33、ST2 、NF-κBp65、p-NF-κBp65、p38、p-p38、JNK、p-JNK、ERK、p-ERK等基因/蛋白表达水平。.2.为了证实鼻敏康合剂通过调控IL-33/ST2-ILC2轴干预Th2细胞炎症,我们应用Jurkat-T细胞条件诱导培养使其分化为Th2细胞亚群,流式分选并培养Th2细胞,IL-33刺激24h诱导体外细胞炎症模型,并给予鼻敏康合剂含药血清干预,进一步证实鼻敏康合剂含药血清抑制IL-33/ST2-ILC2轴活化治疗Th2细胞炎症的作用机制。.结果:.1.鼻敏康合剂抑制IL-33/ST2、p38、NF-κB、JNK、ERK信号通路活化,改善MPI组小鼠打喷嚏和抓鼻症状,改善鼻黏膜组织中的病理变化及炎性浸润状态。.2.鼻敏康合剂含药血清可以抑制IL-33/ST2通路的表达,降低IL-33/ST2-ILC2信号轴关键蛋白、mRNA水平及炎症因子的水平。.科学意义:.本研究以IL-33/ST2-ILC2信号通路为切入点,明确了鼻敏康合剂抑制IL-33/ST2-ILC2通路活化逆转 MPI状态,降低AR复发率,为临床应用鼻敏康合剂防治AR的作用机制提供了一定的科学依据。
