Objective: To explore the effect and mechanism of human β-defensin-3(hBD3) on airway remodeling and white blood cell activation in young asthmatic rats induced by respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) infection. Methods: Ovalbumin(OVA) combined with RSV was used to induce an asthma model in young rats, during which 100 μg·kg-1·d-1 hBD3 solution was given by gavage. Lavage fluid(BALF) was prepared, and the total number of BALF cells and cell counts were determined by Wright's staining. The levels of immunoglobulin IgE, interleukin-4(IL-4), IL-5, and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in BALF and serum were detected by ELISA. HE staining, PAS staining and Masson staining were used to observe the pathological changes of lung tissue and various airway remodeling indexes observed by pathological sections. Immunohistochemical staining and Western blot were used to detect the lung tissue α-SMA expression and the expression of growth factors and autophagy-related proteins in lung tissue leukocytes respectively. Results: Compared with the model group, the total number of cells in BALF, the proportion of eosinophils, neutrophils and lymphocytes in the pups treated with hBD3 were reduced. The levels of IgE, IL-4, IL-5 and TNF-α in BALF and serum decreased, and the lung tissue damage was significantly alleviated. Inflammatory cell infiltration and goblet cells were reduced. The area of collagen fibers in lung tissue was smaller, WAt/Pi, WAm/Pi and N/Pi were all reduced, and the positive expression rate of α-SMA was decreased. At the same time, the expression protein levels of VEGF, TGF-β1, IGF-1, LC3-Ⅱ and Beclin-1 in the tissues were down-regulated and the expression protein levels of P62 were up-regulated, the difference being statistically significant(P＜0.05). Conclusion: hBD3 can inhibit the airway inflammation and airway remodeling process in young rats with asthma induced by RSV infection, and mediate leukocyte inactivation, which may be related to the regulation of autophagy. |
