目的:观察甲醛对小鼠变应性鼻炎(AR)的影响。方法:48只雄性BALB/c小鼠随机分成6组,每组8只,其中A组为正常对照组;B组为单纯AR组;C组为甲醛暴露组;D、E和F组分别为甲醛低、中、高浓度(1.5、3.0、6.0mg/m3)AR组。采集外周血间接酶联免疫吸附试验法测血清中IL-4、IL-10和干扰素γ(IFN-γ)的水平,并取鼻黏膜行苏木精-伊红染色观察鼻黏膜中嗜酸粒细胞浸润情况。结果:气态甲醛暴露可导致AR小鼠挠鼻和喷嚏次数增加;B、D、E和F组小鼠外周血中IL-4和IL-10水平较A组明显升高(P〈0.05),D、E和F组较C组明显升高(P〈0.05);而E、F组IL-4水平较B组明显升高(P〈0.05),D、E和F组IL-10水平明显高于B组(P〈0.05)。血清中IFN-γ水平B、D、E、F小鼠明显低于A组,B组血清中IFN-γ水平明显高于F组而低于C组,与C组相比D、E、F组外周血IFN-γ表达明显降低。鼻黏膜苏木精-伊红染色显示甲醛暴露可使AR小鼠鼻黏膜下嗜酸粒细胞数量增多。结论:气态甲醛暴露可促进Th2细胞因子表达,加重鼻黏膜中嗜酸粒细胞炎症反应,协同致敏原加重小鼠AR的症状。
Objective: To observe the effect of formaldehyde inhalation on the allergic rhinitis mice model. Method:Forty-eight male BALB/C mice in six experimental group were exposure to (A) saline control; (B) Der pl ; (C) formaldehyde (3.0 mg/m^3 );(D) Derpl + formaldehyde (1.5 mg/m^2) ; (E) Der pl + formaldehyde (3.0 mg/ma) ; (F) Der pl-9 formaldehyde (6.0 mg/m^3). The concentrations of IL-4,IL-10 and IFN-γ in the peripheral serum were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). Nasal mucosal inflammation was evaluated by HE staining. Result: Formaldehyde exposure could increase the number of allergic rhinitis mice with sneezing and rubbing nose. The levels of IL-4 and IL-10 in group B, D, E and F were higher than that ingroup A (P〈0.05). Compared with the group C, the group D, E and F could effectively increase serum IL-4 and IL-10. The concentration of IL-4 in group E and F was higher than that of group B, while the group C was lower (P〈0.05). The concentration of IL-10 in group D, E and F was higher than that in group B (P〈0.05). The expres- sion of IFN-7 in group B, D, E and F was lower than that in group A. While, the IFN-γ expression in group B was lower than that of group C and higher than that in group F (P〈0.05). Moreover, the concentration of IFN-γ in group D, E and F was lower compared with group C (P〈0.05). The nasal mucosa HE staining showed that the density of EOS increased simultaneously in formaldehyde exposure allergic rhinitis groups. Conclusion: The study showed that formaldehyde exposure can promote Th2 eytokines and eosinophil infiltration and then aggravate the allergic rhinitis symptoms.
