Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expressions of interluekin-3 in BALB/c mice infected by mycoplasma pneumonia (MP)and to clarify the relationship between IL-3 and MP infection.Methods Total 36 BALB/c mice were randomly divid-ed into control group,MP infection group and clarithromycin treatment group.MP infection models were established with the method of dripping cultured MP into nasal cavity of mice.ELISA method was used to assay the levels of IL-3 in the the serum of the mice and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in various groups.The lung tissue was fixed in formalin for sections,HE staining was performed for the observation of histological changes.Results The MP-infected mouse models were established successfully and MP strains were dripped into the respiratory system of mice.As showed in histopathological observasion re-sults,significantly increased after MP infection and then gradually decreased after clarithromycin treatment.The ELISA re-sults showed that the level of serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of IL-3 of the mice in MP infection group were 96.4± 8.3 ng/L and 60.9 ±6.5 ng/L.Compared with the control group(203.1±14.5 ng/L,96.3±12.6ng/L),serum and bron-choalveolar lavage fluid of mice infected with MP in IL-3 levels were significantly lower (t serum = 19.50,t balf = 17.20,P <0.01),and after treatment with clarithromycin,serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of IL-3 significantly increased,re-spectively(175.6±12.5 ng/L and 85.6± 10.2 ng/L,tserum = 17.41,tbalf = 14.62,P <0.01),the difference was statistically significant.Conclusion IL-3 levels were decreased in mycoplasma pneumonia mice.Clarithromycin treatment had effect on mycoplasma pneumonia infecttion.The expression level IL-3 may be related to the severity degree of MP infection.
