摘要
为了探索内皮素(ET)、肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)在哮喘中的作用及相互关系。实验测定了哮喘豚鼠血以及肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中的内皮素-1(ET-1)、TNF-α的释放量,以及离体气道平滑肌细胞在TNF-α刺激下对ET-1释放的影响。观察到ET-1、TNF-α的含量在哮喘组明显高于对照组,同时,TNF-α可刺激平滑肌细胞分泌ET-1。表明TNF-α引起的ET-1释放对气道高反应性的形成和气道重建可能起一定的作用。
n order to investigate the interaction of endothelin-1(ET-1)and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) andtheir activity in the pathogenesis of asthma,ET-1 plas-ma and BALF levels were measured, and the amount ofTNF-α released from alveolar macrophage(AM ) wasalso tested.As in vitro the airway smooth muscle cellswere stimulated with TNF-α,the release of ET-1 wasalso observed.The results showed that the amount ofFT-1,TNF-α were both increased than in the controlgroup,at the same time , TNF-α could stimulate smcothmuscle cells to secrete ET-1.We concluded that the re- lease of ET-1 induced by TNF-α might play a certainrole in development of airway hyperresponsiveness andairway remodeling.
