Abstract:
Objective To study the role of IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA in children with asthma. Methods Use of semi quantitative RT PCR, IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC), as well as total IgE in serum from children with asthma, which is in the period of acute phase, were detected. Results Compared with control group, The expression level of IL 12 mRNA were decreased and that of IL 13 mRNA were increased in asthmatic children; The sicker the patient was, the lower expression of IL 12 mRNA, the higher expression of IL 13 mRNA; No matter how the IgE level was, there was significantly different between the expression of IL 12 and IL 13 mRNA. Conclusion IL 12 and IL 13 may be one of the factors causing bronchial chronic inflammation.
