Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Previous study has confirmed that seasonal variation and surfactant associated protein A(SP-A)and interleukin-6(IL-6)exhibit a significant role in lung immune and defense function.However,the effect mechanism of them remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:By observing the changes of SP-A and IL-6 of male rats in autumn and winter.to explore the effects of seasonal changes on the nonspecific immunity of lung of normal rats,and to provide new ideas for the experimental basis to the cognition of pathology and physiology mechanism for seasonal attack of respiratory system diseases.METHODS:Male SD rats were purchased from each seasons and divided into groups in chronological order All rats were housed with normal forage and drank freely under room temperature.Then the rats were sacrificed by decapitation before 18 o'clock at corresponding solar term and the lung tissues were analyzed by RT-PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared to the other groups.the expression of SP-A and IL-6 in the Winter Begins group were smaller.which demonstrated that immune function of lung was existed the seasonaI rhythm of lower in winter and higher in autumn.The SP-A and IL-6 are main material basis of immune function.
