摘要:

目的 探究补脾益肠丸(BPYCP)对实验性溃疡性结肠炎(UC)小鼠CD4+T细胞亚群的调控作用。方法 48只C57BL/6小鼠采用随机数字表法分为对照组(Control组,10只)、模型组(DSS组, 13只)、模型+补脾益肠丸组(DSS+BPYCP组, 13只)、模型+5-ASA组(DSS+5-ASA组, 12只);采用自由饮用2.5%葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS)溶液诱导小鼠UC模型,DSS+BPYCP组和DSS+5-ASA组分别采用BPYCP或美沙拉嗪(5-ASA)连续灌胃2周。观察小鼠粪便黏稠度及便血情况,测量结肠长度,结肠称质量并计算结肠质量指数及单位结肠质量指数;苏木素-伊红(HE)染色法观察结肠病理变化,并进行病理损伤评分;流式细胞术检测肠系膜淋巴结中的CD4+T细胞亚群水平;酶联免疫吸附试验检测干扰素(INF)-γ、白细胞介素(IL)-4、IL-17A、IL-10及IL-21表达水平;实时荧光定量PCR检测结肠组织T-框蛋白21(T-bet)、GATA结合蛋白3(GATA-3)、维甲酸相关核孤儿受体γt(RORγt)、B细胞淋巴瘤-6(Bcl-6)及大鼠叉头蛋白P3(Foxp3)mRNA表达水平。结果 与DSS组比较,DSS+BPYCP组和DSS+5-ASA组UC小鼠腹泻、便血等症状得到改善,小鼠体质量及结肠长度均增加,且结肠质量、结肠质量指数及单位结肠质量指数均下降,黏膜上皮较完整,腺体排列更规整,炎性细胞浸润更少,病理组织损伤评分显著降低,肠系膜淋巴结中的Th2细胞比例降低,Th17细胞比例及IL-17A水平降低,结肠组织T-bet、GATA-3、RORγt、Bcl-6 mRNA水平降低(P<0.05);DSS+BPYCP组的Th1细胞比例降低,CD4+CD25+Treg、CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg细胞比例及IL-10水平均升高,CD4+CXCR5+Tfh细胞比例和IL-21水平降低,Foxp3 mRNA水平升高(P<0.05);DSS+5-ASA组的Th1细胞比例及IFN-γ水平降低(P<0.05)。结论 BPYCP可能通过重塑肠道组织的CD4+T细胞亚群稳态缓解实验性UC。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the regulatory effect of Bupi Yichang pill (BPYCP) on CD4+T cell subsets of ulcerative colitis (UC) mice. Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group (n=10), the model group (DSS group, n=13), the model +BPYCP group (DSS+BPYCP group, n=13) and the model+mesalazine (5-ASA) group (DSS+5-ASA group, n=12). The mouse UC model was induced by 2.5% dextrosan sulfate (DSS) solution. The DSS+BPYCP group and the DSS+5-ASA group were given BPYCP or 5-ASA for 2 weeks, respectively, and fecal viscosity and blood in stool were observed. The colon length was measured. Colonic mass index and unit colonic mass index were calculated. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe pathological changes of colon and to score the pathological tissue damage. The level of CD4+T cell subsets in mesenteric lymph nodes was detected by flow cytometry. The expression levels of cytokines interferon-γ (INF-γ), interleukin (IL-4), IL-17A, IL-10 and IL-21 secreted by CD4+T cell subsets in colon tissue were detected by ELISA. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect colon tissue CD4+T cell subset nuclear transcription factors, mRNA expression levels of T-frame protein 21 (T-bet), GatA-binding protein 3 (GATA-3), retinoa-associated nuclear orphan receptor γt (RORγt), B cell lymphoma-6 (Bcl-6) and Foxp3 in rats. Results Compared with the DSS group, the diarrhea and hematostoecium symptoms of UC mice in the DSS+BPYCP group and the DSS+5-ASA group were significantly improved, body weight and colon length of mice were increased, and colon mass, colon mass index and unit colon mass index were decreased (P<0.05). The mucosal epithelium was more complete than that in the DSS group, and gland arrangement was more regular. The inflammatory cell infiltration was less, and the pathological tissue damage score was significantly decreased (P<0.01). The proportion of Th2 cells in mesenteric lymph nodes was decreased, the proportion of Th17 cells and the level of IL-17A were decreased, and the mRNA levels of T-bet, GATA-3, RORγt and Bcl-6 in colon tissue were decreased (P<0.05). In the DSS+BPYCP group, the proportion of Th1 cells decreased, the proportion of CD4+CD25+Treg cells, CD4+CD25+Foxp3+Treg cells and the level of IL-10 increased, and the proportion of CD4+CXCR5+Tfh cells and the level of IL-21 decreased. The level of Foxp3 mRNA increased (P<0.05). The proportion of Th1 cells and the level of IFN-γ were decreased in the DSS+5-ASA group (P<0.05). Conclusion BPYCP may alleviate UC by remodeling the homeostasis of CD4+T cell subpopulations.
