Effect of San’ao Decoction (三拗汤) on the airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in a murine model of lipopolysaccharide-enhanced asthma
摘要
San’ao Decoction (三拗汤
SAD)
as a representative Chinese medicine (CM) formula
was chosen to evaluate the effect of airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) enhanced asthma model. The asthma model was reproduced in the Balb/C mice sensitized by ovalbumin (OVA)
challenged by OVA and LPS. After Balb/C mice’s administration of a dose (0.0024 g/kg) of dexamethasone acetate
and three doses (2.2 g/kg
4.4 g/kg and 8.8 g/kg) of SAD
airway inflammation and responsiveness were observed. The airway inflammation was detected by counting bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) cells and lung histopathology. Also
differential expressions of interferon-r (IFN-γ)
interleukin-4 (IL-4)
and IL-5 in the supernatants of BALF were examined. The changes in airway responsiveness indicated by lung resistance (RL) and stimulated by acetylcholine (Ach) were determined. Small-dose SAD hardly inhibit airway inflammation or hyperresponsiveness in the LPS-enhanced asthma
while medium-dose and high-dose SAD significantly inhibited the airway hyperresponsiveness
and to some extent
reduced airway inflammation. Meanwhile
the small-dose
medium-dose
and high-dose SAD promoted Th1-type cytokines (IFN-γ) and reduced Th2-type cytokines (IL-4
IL-5) to different extents
which led to a Th1/Th2 balance. SAD has a good therapeutic effect on airway hyperresponsiveness in the LPS-enhanced asthma model
but its definite influence on airway inflammation is not remarkable.
