Mechanism of Mangiferin Inhibiting the Airway Inflammation in a Murine Model of Asthma
Objective: To investigate the inhibitory effect and mechanism of mangiferin on the airway inflammation in BALB/c mice model of asthma.Method: Seventy-two BALB/c mice
aged 4-5 weeks
were randomly divided into 6 groups: normal control group
model control group
dexamethasone group(0.001 25 g·kg-1)
mangiferin high-dose group(0.4 g·kg-1)
mangiferin middle-dose group(0.2 g·kg-1) and mangiferin low-dose group(0.1 g·kg-1).The mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin(OVA) to establish a murine model of asthma.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was collected for total and differential cell count.HE staining was used to observe airway inflammation in lung tissue.Quantification of leukotriene C4(LTC4)
prostaglandin D2(PGD2) in BALF and OVA special immunoglobulin E(OVA-sIgE) in serum were detected by ELISA.Result:The number of eosinophil(EOS) in BALF
compared with model group(6.57±1.44)%
could obviously be reduced by three mangiferin groups(1.63±0.43
2.72±0.83
4.11±1.08)%(P<0.01-P<0.05).The total number of white cells in BALF
compared with model group(83.25±10.19)×105/mL
could be cut down by mangiferin high-dose and middle-dose group(25.66±6.16
53.38±9.19) ×105/mL(P<0.01);HE staining showed that three mangiferin groups could improve
to some extent
the histological changes of lung and bronchus and reduce airway inflammation.The level of OVA-sIgE in serum
compared with the model group(0.26±0.04) ng·mL-1
could significantly be decreased by three mangiferin groups(0.10±0.04
0.12±0.02
0.18±0.03) ng·mL-1(P<0.01).And the level of PGD2 in BALF
compared with model group(74.36±22.72) ng·mL-1
could be reduced by mangiferin high-dose group(60.30±12.19) ng·mL-1(P<0.05).For the level of LTC4
there was a reduce tendency in every mangiferin group
but no statistical significance.Conclusion: Mangiferin
through reducing the number of EOS
decreasing the level of OVA-sIgE and PGD2 in mice
could obviously inhibit the airway inflammation in mice model of asthma
which promises to be a potential drug in the treatment of allergic asthma.
