摘要
目的探讨呼吸道合胞病毒(RSV)感染后再发呼吸道病毒感染时诱发气道炎症及反复喘息的致病机制。方法 64只6-8周雌性BALB/c小鼠随机分为对照组、RSV组、Poly(I:C)组及RSV+Poly(I:C)组(n=16)。收集各组肺泡灌洗液(BALF),计数BALF中细胞总数及分类计数,苏木精-伊红(HE)染色观察肺部病理损伤,检测小鼠气道反应性(AHR),ELISA法检测BALF中IFN-γ、IL-4、IL-13、基质金属蛋白酸9(MMP-9)及基质金属蛋白酶抑制物-1(TIMP-1)水平。结果 RSV+Poly(I:C)组小鼠的气道炎症细胞浸润总数及AHR较其他3组显著增高(P〈0.05)。RSV+Poly(I:C)组小鼠的肺组织病理损伤较对照组及RSV组加重(P〈0.01);BALF中MMP-9水平较其他3组明显升高(P〈0.05),IL-4及TIMP-1显著低于RSV组(P〈0.01)。结论 RSV感染后病毒再感染可能引起MMP-9/TIMP-1表达失衡,加重气道炎症反应。
Objective To investigate the pathogenic mechanisms of airway inflammation and recurrent wheezing induced by recurrent respiratory virus infection after respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection.Methods Sixtyfour female BALB/c mice(aged 6-8 weeks)were randomly divided into four groups:control,RSV,Poly(I:C),and RSV+Poly(I:C)(n=16 each).The bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)was collected on the 3rd day after Poly(I:C)administration,and the total cell number and differential counts in BALF were determined.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe pulmonary pathological changes.The airway responsiveness was detected.ELISA was used to measure the levels of interferon-γ(IFN-γ),interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-13(IL-13),matrix metallopeptidase-9(MMP-9),and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1(TIMP-1)in BALF.Results Compared with the other three groups,the RSV+Poly(I:C)group had significant increases in the total number of inflammatory infiltrating cells in the airway,airway responsiveness,and MMP-9 level in BALF(P〈0.05).The RSV+Poly(I:C)group showed more severe pulmonary tissue injuries compared with the control and RSV groups(P〈0.01).Compared with the RSV group,the RSV+Poly(I:C)group showed significant reductions in the levels of IL-4 and TIMP-1 in BALF(P〈0.01).Conclusions Viral re-infection in the late stage of RSV infection may cause an imbalance of MMP-9/TIMP-1 expression and thus contribute to aggravated airway inflammation.
