PM2. 5对小鼠变应性鼻结膜炎的影响

Effect of PM2. 5 on allergic rhinoconjunctivitis in mice

  • 摘要: 背景 变应性鼻结膜炎是常见的IgE介导性疾病,环境污染在其发病过程中起重要作用。PM2.5因其粒径小、吸 附性强等特点,可通过直接刺激黏膜或携带致敏原加重免疫失衡,但其对鼻-眼联合过敏的作用机制尚未明确。目的 建立 变应性鼻结膜炎小鼠模型,研究PM2.5对变应性鼻结膜炎的影响。方法 36只雌性C57小鼠(SPF级)随机分为3组:对照 组、模型组和PM2.5暴露组。模型组和PM2.5暴露组分别于0 d、4 d、7 d、14 d及21 d时行腹腔注射含卵清蛋白 (ovalbumin,OVA) 100 μg与佐剂氢氧化铝(AL(OH)3) 4 mg药物0.2 mL/只;间隔3 d后,每周连续5d用5% OVA分别点每 眼每鼻各10 μL诱发过敏症状;PM2.5暴露组使用0.05% PM2.5点每眼每鼻各10 μL,10 ~ 20 min后点5% OVA。在致敏和激 发阶段,对照组均用等量PBS替代。观察小鼠眼部、鼻部症状并进行评分。应用ELISA方法检测血清OVA特异性IgE (OVA-sIgE),IL-4,IL-17和IL-18表达;Western blot检测睑结膜、鼻黏膜NLRP3、TNF-α表达;免疫组化检测小鼠睑结膜 及鼻黏膜组织NLRP3表达。结果 模型组和PM2.5暴露组均诱发出鼻部、眼部过敏症状,PM2.5暴露组鼻部及眼部过敏出 现时间均明显早于模型组(P<0.05)。模型组和PM2.5暴露组OVA-sIgE,IL-4,IL-17和IL-18表达均显著高于对照组(P< 0.05),其中PM2.5暴露组OVA-sIgE表达显著高于模型组(P<0.05)。Western-Blot检测模型组及PM2.5暴露组睑结膜及鼻黏 膜组织NLRP3和TNF-α表达较对照组显著增加(P<0.05);其中PM2.5暴露组睑结膜及鼻黏膜NLRP3和TNF-α表达较模型 组显著增加(P<0.05)。免疫组化检测模型组及PM2.5暴露组睑结膜及鼻黏膜组织NLRP3表达均明显增加。结论 PM2.5明 显加快变应性鼻结膜炎发生及加重其病情,其可能通过NLRP3信号通路在变应性鼻结膜炎发病中起一定的促进作用。

     

    Abstract: Background Allergic rhinoconjunctivitis is a common IgE-mediated disorder, and environmental pollution plays a significant role in its pathogenesis. PM2.5, characterized by its small particle size and strong adsorptive capacity, may exacerbate immune dysregulation by directly irritating mucous membranes or carrying allergens. However, the mechanisms underlying its impact on nasal-ocular co-allergy remain unclear. Objective To establish a murine model of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis and investigate the effects of PM2.5 on the disease.Methods Thirty-six female C57 mice (SPF grade) were randomly divided into control group, model group, and PM2.5 exposure group. On day 0, 4, 7, 14 and 21, the model group and the PM2.5 exposure group received 0.2 mL/piece intraperitoneal injection medicine containing OVA 100ug and adjuvant Al(OH)3 4 mg respectively. After an interval of 3 days, each eye and nose was dosed withb10 μL of 5% OVA for 5 consecutive days a week to induce allergic symptoms. The PM2.5 intervention group was performed with 10 μL of 0.05% PM2.5 for each eye and nose, 10-20 minutes later, 10 μL of 5% OVA was used for each eye and nose. In the sensitization and stimulation stage, the control group was replaced with equal amount of PBS. Ocular and nasal symptoms were observed and scored. The contents of OVA specific IgE(OVA-sIgE), IL-4, IL-17 and IL-18 in serum were detected by ELISA. The expressions of NLRP3 and TNF-α in eyelid conjunctiva and nasal mucosa were detected by Western blot. The expression of NLRP3 in eyelid conjunctiva and nasal mucosa of mice was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The nasal and ocular allergic symptoms were induced in both the model group and the PM2.5 exposure group, and the onset time of nasal and eye allergy in the PM2.5 exposure group was significantly earlier than that in the model group (P<0.05). The expression levels of OVA-sIgE, IL-4, IL-17 and IL-18 in the model group and the PM2.5 exposure group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the expression of OVA-sIgE in the PM2.5 exposure group was significantly higher than that in the model group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the expression levels of NLRP3 and TNFa in the eyelid conjunctiva and nasal mucosa of the model group and the PM2.5 exposure group were significantly increased (P<0.05). The expression levels of NLRP3 and TNFa in eyelid conjunctiva and nasal mucosa of the PM2.5 exposure group were significantly increased compared with the model group (P<0.05). The expression of NLRP3 in the eyelid conjunctiva and nasal mucosa of the model group and the PM2.5 exposure group were significantly increased by immunohistochemistry.Conclusion PM2.5 obviously accelerates the occurrence and aggravation of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis, and it may play a certain role in promoting the onset of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis through the NLRP3 signaling pathway.
