Objective To detect the expression of T cell immunoglobulin mucin 3 (Tim-3) and its relationship with Th17/Treg cytokine isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and broncho-alveolar lavage fluids (BALF) cells in the asthmatic murine model and to investigate the role of Tim-3 in the occurrence and development of the asthmatic inflammation. Methods The asthmatic murine model was established by the method of ovalbumin (OVA) injection and inhalation. The mice were randomly divided into 2 groups: the normal control and the asthma group. PBMCs and BALF cells in each group were collected. Expression of Tim-3 mRNA was detected by the real-time PCR assay. Levels of CD4+IL-17+ and CD4+CD25+FoxP3+, reflecting expressions of Th17 and Treg respectively , were detected by flow cytometry. The correlationbetween Tim-3 and Th17/Treg level was analyzed. Results Contrast with the normal control group, the expression of Tim-3 mRNA in PBMCs and BALF cells in the asthma group increased significantly (P < 0.01). OVA sensitization and challenges resulted in the increased CD4+IL-17 production and the decreased CD4+CD25+Foxp3+in PBMCs and BALF cells compared with those in the normal control group (both P < 0.05). The ratio of Th17/Treg significantly increased in asthma group (P < 0.05). Tim-3 mRNA expression in PBMCs and BALF cells was positively correlated with CD4+IL-17+ level and Th17/Treg ratio , respectively , and was negatively correlated with CD4+CD25+Foxp3+ level. Conclusions Tim-3 mRNA level in PBMCs and BALF cells in the asthma group was increased , indicating that Tim-3 might take part in the occurrence and development of asthmatic inflammation and has a very close relationship with the Th17/Treg imbalance.

Objective To explore changes of expression of pro-and anti-inflammatory cytokines in the hippocam-pus of Aβ1-42-induced Alzheimer’s disease (AD) rat model. Methods Twenty-four SD rats were divided into control group, PBS group (PBS was injected into CA1 area of hippocampus) and AD model group (Aβ1-42 was injected into CA1 area of hip-pocampus). The escape latency was evaluated by Morris water maze in three groups. Nissl staining was used to detect the le-sions of hippocampal CA1 neurons. Levels of amyloid precursor protein (APP) and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) in hippo-campus were measured by Western blot analysis. Real-time PCR was employed to examine the expressions of pro-inflamma-tory cytokines, including interleukin-1β (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon-γ (IFN-γ), and the mRNA expressions of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including IL-4, IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β). Re-sults Rats subjected to Aβ1-42 injection in bilateral hippocampus led to a ability reduction of learning and memory, a loss of neurons in hippocampus and an increase in the expression of APP, and a decrease in PP2A expression in the hippocampus. In AD hippocampus, The mRNA expressions of the pro-inflammatory mediator, IL-1β, TNF-αand IFN-γ, were significant-ly up-regulated, but the expressions of the anti-inflammatory cytokines, IL-4, IL-10 and TGF-β, were markedly down-reg-ulated in AD group compared with those of control and PBS groups. Conclusion The pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory imbalance induced neuro-inflammation in AD rats, which was involved in pathogenesis of AD.
