Effect of Volatile Oil from Xanthii Fructus on Airway Remodeling of Rats with Bronchial Asthma
To discuss the effect of volatile oil from Xanthii Fructus on airway remodeling of rats with bronchial asthma
in order to discuss the mechanism of action through matrix metalloteinases-9 (MMP-9)
tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1)
platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)
transforming growth factor-
β
1
(TGF-
β
1
)
Smad2
Smad3 and Smad7 mRNA expressions.
Method:
2
Forty-eight rats (half males and half females) were randomly divided into six groups (
n
=8)
namely normal saline group
model group
volatile oil from Xanthii Fructus (7.5
15
30 mg·kg
-1
) groups and dexamethasone group (0.5 mg·kg
-1
). Except for normal saline group
airway remodeling of rats were established through ovalbumin sensitization and atomization inhalation method. At volatile oil group
rats got volatile oil spray since the first time (the 4
th
week after modeling) of inspiration of asthma to the last day before the end of test. Histopathological changes of bronchus and lung were analyzed by htoxylin eosin (HE) stain. And airway remodeling was observed
and perimeter of bronchial lumen (Pi)
smooth muscle area of bronchi (S)
tube wall area (W) and nuclei of smooth muscle cells (N) were recorded. And levels of endothelin-1 (ET-1) and insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1) in irrigation solution of Alveoli (BALF) were detected. And mRNA expressions of MMP-9
TIMP-1
PDGF
TGF-
β
1
Smad2
Smad3 and Smad7 were detected by real-time quantitative-polymerase chain reaction (Real-time PCR).
Result:
2
In the model group
infiltration of a large number of inflammatory cells were found at the peribronchial wall
airway smooth muscle thickness and basement membrane increased
and bureaucratic cavity was narrower and flatter. Volatile oil from Xanthii Fructus can ameliorate pathological damage of bronchopulmonary tissue. Levels of S/Pi
W/Pi and N/Pi
BALF
ET-1
IGF-1 and MMP-9/TIMP-1 and mRNA expressions of MMP-9 and PDGF in volatile oil group and dexamethasone group were lower than those in model group (
P
<
0.01). Compared with model group
mRNA expressions of TGF-
β
1
Smad2 and Smad3 were less than those in model group (
P
<
0.01)
while mRNA expression of Smad7 was more than that in model group (
P
<
0.01).
Conclusion:
2
Volatile oil from Xanthii Fructus can regulate levels of MMP-9
TIMP-1
MMP-9/TIMP-1
TGF-
β
1
/Smad
inhibit expressions of PDGF
ET-1 and IGF-1
and suppress subepithelial fibrosis
extracellular matrix synthesis
proliferation and migration of airway smooth muscle cells to relieve or inhibit airway remodeling
