转化生长因子β1白细胞介素-6及11和17在变应性鼻炎患者鼻黏膜中的表达

目的：探讨转化生长因子β1（TGF-β1），白细胞介素（IL）-6、11和17在变应性鼻炎患者鼻黏膜中的表达及意义。方法：采用酶联免疫吸附试验定量检测19例变应性鼻炎患者（变应性鼻炎组）下鼻甲黏膜和21例行鼻中隔偏曲矫正术的非变应性鼻炎患者（对照组）下鼻甲黏膜组织中TGF-β1，IL-6、11和17的蛋白表达量。结果：①变应性鼻炎组的TGF-β1蛋白表达量显著高于对照组（P〈0．01）；②IL-6、11和17的蛋白表达量在两组间差异无统计学意义（均P〉0．05）；③TGF-β1，IL-6、11和17的蛋白表达量在并发哮喘和不并发哮喘的变应性鼻炎患者间的表达差异无统计学意义（均P〉0．05）。结论：TGF-β1可能在变应性鼻炎的组织结构重塑中起作用，而IL-6、11和17可能在此过程中无明显作用，这可能是变应性鼻炎和哮喘组织结构重塑差异的分子基础之一。

The expression of transforming growth factor β1 , interleukin-6, 11 and 17 in nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients

OBJECTIVE: To explore the protein expression of transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1, interleukin (IL)-6, 11, and 17 in the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis patients. METHOD: The protein expression of TGF-beta1, IL-6, 11, and 17 in the inferior turbinate tissues from 19 allergic rhinitis patients and from 21 non-allergic patients underwent nasal septum operation was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. RESULT: (1) Compared with tissues from non-allergic patients, the expression of TGF-beta1 protein was significant increased in the tissues from allergic rhinitis patients (P < 0.01); (2) As to the protein expression of IL-6, 11 and 17, there was no significant difference between allergic rhinitis patients and non-allergic patients (P > 0.05); (3) The expression of TGF-beta1, IL-6, 11, and 17 was similar between the allergic rhinitis patients with and without asthma (P > 0.05). CONCLUSION: TGF-beta1 , while not IL-6, 11 and 17, may play a role in the tissue remodeling processes in allergic rhinitis. This expression profile may contribute to the difference in the tissue remodeling between allergic rhinitis and asthma.
