Abstract

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the expressions of interleukin （IL）-17,IL-22 and IL-10 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in children with bronchial asthma. Methods A total of 75 children with asthma were classified into exacerbation group （41 cases） and remission group （34 cases）. A total of 40 healthy children were enrolled as control group. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated. The expressions of IL-17,IL-22 and IL-10 genes in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined by real-time quantitation polymerase chain reaction （PCR）. The expressions of IL-17,IL-22 and IL-10 proteins in peripheral blood mononuclear cells were determined by western blotting. The forced expiratory volume in 1 second （FEV1） and the ratio of FEV1/forced vital capacity （FVC） were determined. The correlations among the variables were analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in exacerbation group were lower than those in remission group and control group （P<0.05）,and those in remission group were lower than those in control group（P<0.05）. The relative expression levels of IL-17 mRNA and IL-22 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in exacerbation group were higher than those in remission group and control group （P<0.05）,and those in remission group were higher than those in control group （P<0.05）. However, the relative expression level of IL-10 mRNA was lower than those in remission group and control group （P<0.05）,and that in remission group was lower than that in control group （P<0.05）. The relative expression levels of IL-17 mRNA, IL-17 protein and IL-22 mRNA, IL-22 protein in peripheral blood mononuclear cells in asthmatic children were negatively correlated with the relative expression levels of IL-10 mRNA and IL-10 protein,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC（P<0.05）,and the relative expression levels of IL-10 mRNA and IL- 10 protein were positively correlated with FEV1 and FEV1/FVC （P<0.05）. Conclusions The expressions of IL-17 and IL-22 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of children with asthma are upregulated,while the expression of IL- 10 is downregulated,which are related with disease status. It prompts that T helper cell 17（Th17）/regulatory T cell （Treg） imbalance might be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.
