Abstract:
Objective To investigate the expression of Cofilin in alveolar and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in COPD patients and the correlation with the function of phagocytic aspergillus. Methods 20 COPD pa-tients were selected from July 2015 to May 2016 in the outpatient department of respiratory medicine of Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University ,then divided into the experimental group 1(group Aand B in 2011 version of GOLD),group 2(test group C and group D in 2011 version of GOLD),and the healthy control group in 10 people. The AM and MDM in the peripheral bloodwere extracted respectively in the 3 groups by bronchoalveolar lavage and,and the ability of AM and MDM in each group were detected. The expression of Cofilin protein was measured by real-time fluorescence quantitative(qRT-PCR) and Western blotting ,and the differenceswere compared among the three groups. Results The colony numbers of MDM/AM in the 3 groups were 17 ± 3,16 ± 2, 42 ± 3(F = 73.446 ,P < 0.001),and the colony numbers of MDM/AM in the two test groupshad significantly different from the healthy group ,while no significant difference was found in the two test groups. The results of fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and Western blot analysis showed that the expression of Cofilin in the two test groups was significantly higher than that in the healthy group. Conclusion The decreased function of phagocytic aspergillus in the alveolar and peripheral blood mononuclear cells in COPD patients may relates to the increase of cofilin.
