Abstract:
Objective To explore the effect of Lactobacillussalivariuson the number of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells and expression of transform?ing growth factorβ1(TGF?β1)in asthma Balb/c mice. Methods Thirty?two female Balb/c mice were randomly divided into four groups:the nor?mal control group,the asthma group,the Lactobacillus salivarius group,and the asthma combined Lactobacillussalivariusgroup. Acute asthma mod?el was established by the ovalbumin challenge method. After extraction of primary spleen cells,flow cytometry was used to test CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg/CD4+T ratio in spleen lymphocytes. The levels of IL?4,IFN?γand TGF?β1 in the spleen cell culture supernatant were measured by ELISA method. Results The level of Th2 cytokine(IL?4)in the spleen cell culture supernatant of the asthma group was significantly higher than that of the control group(P<0.05),however,the level of Th1 cytokine(IFN?γ)was significantly lower than that of the control group(P<0.05). The ex?pression level of Th2 cytokine(IL?4)in the Lactobacillussalivariusintervention group was significantly decreased compared with the asthma group, and the Th1 cytokine(IFN?γ)expression level was elevated compared with the asthma group(P<0.05). The level of TGF?β1 in the Lactobacillus salivarius intervention group was higher than in the asthma group(P<0.05). The proportion of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg/CD4+T in spleen lympho?cytes in the asthma group was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05),and was higher in the Lactobacillus salivarius intervention group than in the asthma group(P<0.05). Conclusion CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg was associated with the pathogenesis of asthma. Lactobacillus salivarius could adjust Th1/Th2 imbalance and reduce asthma inflammation through up?regulation of CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg and TGF?β1 expression.
