摘要
目的:探讨白细胞介素-5(IL-5)在支气管哮喘发病机理中的作用。方法:选择8例哮喘患者雾化吸入人重组IL-5,并分别于吸入前、吸入后2、24和48h采集静脉血分离血清,并以放射免疫法测定血清中嗜酸阳离子蛋白(ECP)水平。结果:与吸入IL-5前基础值[(6.3±1.1)μg/L]相比较,吸入IL-5后ECP水平均随时间而明显升高,至24h达最高值(17.6±2.8)μg/L,(P<0.01),48h后仍维持在较高水平[(18.1±2.9)μg/L,P<0.01]。结论:吸入IL-5可以激活循环中嗜酸性粒细胞。
Objective:The role of interleukin(IL) 5 in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma was investigated.Methods:Eight nonsmoking patients with allergic asthma were administered recombinant human IL 5 by nebulization.Sera were collected,and concentrations of eosinophil cationic protein(ECP)in circulation were determied before,and at 2,24,48 h after inhalation,respectively.Results:It was demonstrated that compared with baseline value[(6 3±1 1)μg/L],inhalation of IL 5 leads to increase of ECP levels with time,reaching a significant higher point at 24 h[(17 6±2 8)μg/L,P<0 01]and this elevated ECP levels lasted at least 48 h [(18 1±2 9)μg/L,P<0 01].Conclusions:Our data provided direct evidence that IL 5 is capable of activating eosinophils in circulation which are involved in the pathogensis of asthma.
