Expression of MIP-1? and RANTES gene and protein in the bronchus of murine asthma / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To study the role of the gene and protein expression of MIP-1? and RANTES in the bronchus of murine asthma. METHODS: 20 male BALB/C mice were randomly divided into two groups the control group (A 0 group) and asthma group (B 0 group). In the experiment, the mice model of asthma was established by the ovalbumin (OVA) challenge methods. The protein expression of MIP-1? and RANTES were detected by immunohistochemistry methods. The gene expressions of MIP-1? and RANTES were detected by in situ hybridization methods. RESULTS: Immunohistochemistry showed that the expressions of MIP-1? protein and RANTES protein around the bronchus of group B 0 were significantly higher than those of group A 0 (P
