Abstract:Objective: To explore the effects of differentiation cluster 200 (CD200) and its receptor CD200R pathway on asthmatic model rats and its mechanism. Methods: A total of 40 male SD rats were randomly divided into control group (treated with normal saline without modeling), model group (treated with normal saline before building asthma model), IgG1Fc group (treated with IgG1Fc before building asthma model), and CD200Fc group (treated with CD200Fc before building asthma model), with 10 rats in each group. The asthma model was established by intrabitoneal ovalbumin sensitization and atomization inhalation stimulation. Real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) and Western blot were used to detect the expression changes of CD200 and CD200R in rat lung tissue after modeling. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the lung histopathological changes in each group, and bronchial wall thickness (Wat) and smooth muscle thickness (Wam) were measured, Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the levels of T helper 1 (Th1) related factors interleukin-12 (IL-12), interferon-γ (IFN-γ) and T helper 2 (Th2) related factors interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-13 (IL-13) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of rats in each group, Western blot was used to detect the protein expression of T-box transcription factor (T-bet) and GATA binding protein 3 (GATA-3) in lung tissue of each group, Flow cytometry was used to detect the distribution of Th1 and Th2 subpopulations in spleen and to calculate the Th1/Th2 ratio. Results: Compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein relative expressions of CD200 and CD200R in lung tissues of model group were significantly down-regulated (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the alveolar wall of the model group was thickened, part of the alveolar collapsed, and a large number of inflammatory cells gathered around the airway, Wat and Wam were significantly increased (P<0.05), the levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were significantly decreased, and the levels of IL-4 and IL-13 were significantly increased (P<0.05), the T-bet protein expression was significantly down-regulated and the GATA-3 protein expression was significantly up-regulated in lung tissue (P<0.05), CD4+IFN-γ+ labeled Th1 and Th1/Th2 were significantly decreased in spleen, and CD4+IL-4+ labeled Th2 was significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with model group, the symptoms of alveolar lesions, thickening of airway wall and smooth muscle, and aggregation of inflammatory cells in CD200Fc group were significantly reduced, Wat and Wam were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the levels of IL-12 and IFN-γ in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid were significantly increased, the levels of IL-4 and IL-13 were significantly decreased (P<0.05), the T-bet protein expression was significantly up-regulated and the GATA-3 protein expression was significantly down-regulated in lung tissue (P<0.05), while CD4+IFN-γ+ labeled Th1 and Th1/Th2 were significantly increased and CD4+IL-4+ labeled Th2 were significantly decreased in spleen (P<0.05). Conclusion: The expression of CD200 and its receptor CD200R is down-regulated in lung tissue of asthmatic rats. Preconditioning of CD200Fc can alleviate airway injury and improve Th1/Th2 imbalance in asthmatic rats, thus playing a therapeutic role.
