目的研究小鼠新生期卡介苗(BCG)接种对呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)感染后肺部炎症和免疫状态的影响。方法新生BALB/c小鼠分4组:A组为对照组、B组为BCG接种组、C组为RSV感染组、D组为BCG接种后RSV感染组。RSV感染后1周观察肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中白细胞数及分类,ELISA法检测BALF中IFN-γ、IL-4、IL-10含量,RT-PCR检测肺组织Toll样受体4(TLR4)mRNA表达,HE染色进行肺组织炎症病理评分。结果C、D两组BALF中自细胞总数、淋巴细胞数、中性粒细胞数、IFN.7含量以及肺组织TLR4 mRNA表达量和炎症病理评分显著高于A、B组(P〈0.01或0.05),BALF中IL-4、IL-10含量4组间差异无显著性,C、D两组之间在各项指标上差异无显著性。结论小鼠新生期BCG接种对RSV感染诱发的肺组织炎症和免疫状态无影响。
Objective To study the impact lung inflammation and immune status of mice of neonatal Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccination on with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV)infection. Methods Neonatal BALB/ c mice were divided into four groups. Group A was control. Group B was BCG-vaccinated only. Group C was RSV-infected only. Group D was BCG-vaccinated and RSV-infected. One week after RSV infection, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was performed. BALF cells were counted and differentiated. BALF IFN-γ, IL-4 and IL-10 levels were detected by ELISA and lung TLR4 mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR.Lung inflammation was scored after HE staining. Results Compared with group A and B, BALF total white cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and IFN-γ concentration and lung TLR4 mRNA expression and inflammatory scores were significantly higher (P〈0.01 or 0.05) in group C and D. No differences were observed in BALF IL-4 and IL-10 levels between the four groups. There were no significant differences in all parameters between group C and D. Conclusions Neonatal BCG vaccination had no influence on RSV infection-related Thl-type cytokine response, increased TLR4 mRNA expression and pulmonary inflammatory infiltration.
