Objective To evaluate the effects of total glucosides of paeony (TCP) on cell proliferation of and expression of VECF and IL-23 in human HaCaT keratinocytes and their potential mechanisms. Methods MTT assay was performed to detect the cell proliferation of HaCaT cells incubated with various concentrations (0.5 to 312.5 mg/L) of TGP. HaCaT cells were classified into 8 groups, control group without any treatment, TGP groups treated with 6 different concentrations of TGP, SB203580 group treated with TGP of 125 mg/L after 2-hour pretreatment with SB203580 of 10 μmol/L After additional culture, reverse transcription (RT)- PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were conducted to determine the expression levels of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein, Western blot to test the phosphorylation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) in these cells. Results The proliferation of HaCaT cells was promoted by TGP of low concentrations (0.5 and 2.5 mg/L), but inhibited by TGP of equal to or more than 12.5 mg/L, and peaked at the concentration of 125 mg/L. TGP of 0.5 and 2.5 mg/L enhanced the mRNA and protein expressions of VEGF and IL-23, while TGP of 12.5 to 125 mg/L suppressed the expression of VEGF mRNA and protein, and TGP of 62.5 to 125 mg/L downregulated the expression of IL-23 mRNA and protein. The phosphorylation of p38 protein kinase in HaCaT cells was induced by TGP of 125 mg/L in a time-dependant manner. Concretely, the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase in HaCaT cells was 0.3314 ± 0.0245 (peak) at 5 minutes, decreased to 0.2173 ± 0.0189 at 10 minutes (still statistically higher than untreated HaCaT cells) and 0.1664 ± 0.0201 at 30 minutes after treatment with TGP of 125 mg/L. SB203580 attenuated the effect of TGP on p38 phosphorylation, and the level of phosphorylated p38 kinase was 0.1529 ±0.0147 in HaCaT cells pretreated with SB203580 prior to the treatment with TGP. Conclusion TGP can inhibit the cell proliferation of and expressions of VEGF and IL-23 mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells, likely mediated by the p38 MAPK signaling pathway.

Objective To verify the relationship between transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in breast milk and allergic diseases development in infants. Methods Totally 191 mothers (99 allergics and 92 controls) and their full-term newborns participated in this prospective study on development of children atopy. Maternal blood, cord blood, colostrum and mature milk were assayed for TGF-β1 and IL-10 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Infants underwent pediatrician evaluation for allergic diseases at six months old. Concentrations of TGF-β1 and IL-10 from allergic and non-allergic mothers and prevalence of allergic diseases of infants were compared. Results The level of IgE in allergic mothers was 30 750 IU/L(6600-410000 IU/L),lower than that in non-allergic mothers[50000 IU/L(7100-610000 IU/L)](Z=-3. 444,P=0. 001).No difference in the concentration of TGF-β1, IL-10 and IgE in mature milk was observed between allergic and non-allergic mothers. TGF-β1, IL-10 and IgE levels in colostrum of allergic mothers were 2300 pg/ml(620-7000 pg/ml), 12. 8 pg/ml(7.5-560.0 pg/ml)and 7000 IU/L(5100-56000 IU/L),significantly higher than those in non-allergic mothers[1830 pg/ml(1240-9400 pg/ml), 11. 1 pg/ml (7. 2-630.0 pg/ml)and 6700 IU/L(5200-35000 IU/L)] (Z=-2. 215, -2. 730 and -2. 706,P<0.05).In both allergic and non-allergic mothers, TGF-β1 and IL-10 levels in cord blood were higher than those in maternal blood, while IgE was lower. TGF-βl and IL-10 and IgE levels in colostrum were higher than mature milk(P<0.05). At six months old, the prevalence of allergic diseases of infants from allergic mothers(59. 6%, 59/99) was significantly higher than those from non-allergic mothers (21. 7%, 20/92)(x2= 28. 177, P= 0. 000). The prevalence of allergic diseases of infants who completed two weeks' colostrum-fed after birth (44.5 %, 73/164) was significantly higher than those who did not (22.2%,6/27)(x2 =4. 749,P-=0. 029). Conclusions High concentration of TGF-βl and IL-10 in colostrum does not show any protective effect against allergic diseases in infants. The prevalence of allergic diseases of colostrum-fed infants is significantly higher than non colostrum-fed infants, showing that colostrum-fed might play a role in allergic diseases development.
