Effect of Shengxian Wumei decoction on TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway and airway remodeling in asthma rat model with glucocorticoids intervention
Objective:To observe the effect of Shengxian Wumei decoction(SXWMD)on airway remodeling and TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway in asthmatic rat model treated with glucocorticoids. MethodsTotally 50 SD male rats were randomly divided into normal group,asthma group,glucocorticoids intervened group,budesonide group and SXWMD group. The asthma model was established by sensitization and atomization stimulation with ovalbumin(OVA). Except rats in the normal group and asthma group,all of the others were intraperitoneally injected with glucocorticoids. Based on the glucocorticoids intervention,rats in the budesonide group were administered with budesonide by atomization,and rats in the SXWMD group were treated with intragastric administration of SXWMD. Lung function indexes and pathological changes of bronchus were measured. The expression levels of TGF-β1/Smad signaling pathway related indexes were detected by Western blot and RT-qPCR. Results:①Compared with the normal group, the levels of collagen,WAi/Pbm,WAm/Pbm and WAe/Pbm,the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1,Smad2 and Smad3,and the protein levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were significantly increased(P<0.05), while the levels of FEV0.1,FEV0.1/FVC%,FEF50% and FEF75%,the Ai/Pbm, and the protein and mRNA levels of Smad6 and Smad7 were significantly decreased(P<0.05)in the asthma group. ② Compared with the asthma group,the levels of WAi/Pbm,WAm/Pbm and WAe/Pbm,the mRNA levels of TGF-β1,Smad2,and Smad3,and the protein levels of TGF-β1,Smad2,p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were significantly decreased(P<0.05), while the levels of FEV0.1,FEV0.1/FVC,FEF50% and FEF75%,and the mRNA levels of Smad6 and Smad7 were significantly increased(P<0.05)in all intervened groups. In addition,in the SXWMD group, the levels of WAi/Pbm,WAm/Pbm and WAe/Pbm,the protein and mRNA levels of TGF-β1,Smad2,and Smad3,and the protein levels of p-Smad2 and p-Smad3 were further decreased than those in the glucocorticoids intervened group(P<0.05),while the levels of FEV0.1,FEV0.1/FVC and FEF75%,the protein and mRNA levels of Smad6,and the mRNA levels of Smad7 were further increased(P<0.05). Conclusion:On the basis of glucocorticoids intervention,SXWMD could further prevent the abnormal activation of TGF-β 1/Smad signal pathway, inhibit the development of airway remodeling and delay the decline of lung function.
