在严重哮喘中Nrf2可通过靶向miR-29b调控下游基因,以及葡萄籽原花青素提取物在激素不敏感哮喘小鼠模型中的作用
2022/05/17
背景:葡萄籽原花青素提取物(GSPE)对治疗严重哮喘(SA)有效。
目的:检测Nrf2-miR-29b轴与SA的关系,检测预防性使用GSPE是否通过其缓解SA。
方法:2017年2月至12月,我们招募了10名健康对照、10名非严重哮喘(nSA)患者和9名急性哮喘患者。提取这些志愿者的外周血单个核细胞。6周龄雌性BALB/c小鼠经OVA、Al(OH)3和LPS刺激31天,建立激素不敏感哮喘小鼠模型。给药组注射地塞米松(5 mg/kg/d),加或不加GSPE(100mg/kg/d)。对照组给予PBS。我们对动物和细胞模型进行实时荧光定量PCR、western blot和荧光素酶报告检测。
结果:SA组Nrf2蛋白、Nrf2 mRNA和miR-29b的浓度均显著低于nSA组和对照组。相反,与其他两组相比,SA中血小板衍生生长因子C (PDGFC)、磷酸肌苷-3-激酶调节亚基1 (PIK3R1)和型胶原蛋白α1(COL3A1)的水平更高。PDGFC、PIK3R1、COL3A1是miR-29b的靶基因。与OVA+LPS相比,GSPE+DXM显著提高Nrf2(+188%)、Nrf2 mRNA(+506%)和miR-29b(+201%)的表达,显著降低PDGFC(-72%)、PIK3R1(-40%)和COL3A1(-65%)的表达。
结论:Nrf2-miR-29b轴参与SA的发病机制。GSPE作为一种辅助药物,可能是一种潜在的SA治疗药物。

Abstract
BACKGROUND:Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) is effective in treating severe asthma (SA).
OBJECTIVE:To examine the relationship between Nrf2-miR-29b axis and SA, and to detect whether preventive use of GSPE relieves SA via it.
METHODS:We recruited 10 healthy controls, 10 patients with non-severe asthma (nSA), and 9 patients with SA from February 2017 to December 2017. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from these volunteers were extracted. A murine model of steroid-insensitive asthma was established in six-week-old female BALB/c mice that were sensitised and challenged with OVA, Al(OH)3 and LPS for 31 days. Mice in the treated groups were injected with DXM (5 mg/kg/d), with or without GSPE (100 mg/kg/d). Control group received PBS. We performed quantitative real-time PCR, western blot and luciferase reporter assay in animal and cell models.
RESULTS:SA group demonstrated significantly lower concentrations of Nrf2 protein, Nrf2 mRNA, and miR-29b than nSA group and control group. Conversely, higher levels of platelet derived growth factor C (PDGFC), phosphoinositide-3-kinase regulatory subunit 1 (PIK3R1), and collagen type III alpha 1 (COL3A1) were measured in SA than in the other two groups. PDGFC, PIK3R1, and COL3A1 were the target genes of miR-29b. GSPE + DXM significantly elevated the expression of Nrf2 (+188%), Nrf2 mRNA (+506%), and miR-29b (+201%), and significantly reduced the expression of PDGFC (−72%), PIK3R1 (−40%), and COL3A1 (−65%) compared with OVA + LPS.
CONCLUSIONS:Nrf2-miR-29b axis is involved in the pathogenesis of SA. GSPE, as an adjuvant drug, maybe a potential therapeutic agent for SA.
