ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To observe the effects of bacterial lysates (OM-85BV) and all trans-retinoic acid (ATRA) on airway inflammation in asthmatic mice, and to investigate the immunoregulatory mechanism of OM-85BV and ATRA for airway inflammation in asthmatic mice.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>Forty female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into five groups normal control, model, OM-85BV, ATRA, and OM-85BV+ATRA. A bronchial asthma model was established by intraperitoneal injection of ovalbumin (OVA) for sensitization and aerosol challenge in all mice except those in the normal control group. On days 25-34, before aerosol challenge, the model, OM-85BV, ATRA, and OM-85BV+ATRA groups were given normal saline, OM-85BV, ATRA, and OM-85BV+ATRA respectively by gavage. Normal saline was used instead for sensitization, challenge, and pretreatment before challenge in the normal control group. These mice were anesthetized and dissected at 24-48 hours after the final challenge. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected from the right lung to measure the levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and interleukin-17 (IL-17) by ELISA. The left lung was collected to observe histopathological changes by hematoxylin-eosin staining. The relative expression of ROR-γT mRNA was measured by quantitative real-time PCR.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Compared with the normal control group, the model group showed contraction of the bronchial cavity, increased bronchial secretions, and a large number of infiltrating inflammatory cells around the bronchi and alveolar walls, as well as a significantly reduced level of IL-10 (P<0.05) and significantly increased levels of IL-17 and ROR-γT mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the model group, the OM-85BV, ATRA, and OM-85BV+ATRA groups showed a significant reduction in infiltrating inflammatory cells around the bronchi and alveolar walls; the OM-85BV group showed a significant increase in the level of IL-10 in BALF (P<0.05) and significant reductions in the levels of IL-17 and ROR-γT mRNA (P<0.05); the ATRA group showed significant reductions in the levels of IL-17 and ROR-γT mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the OM-85BV group, the OM-85BV+ATRA group had significantly increased relative expression of ROR-γT mRNA (P<0.05). Compared with the ATRA group, the OM-85BV+ATRA group had significantly increased levels of IL-10 and IL-17 in BALF (P<0.05).</p><p><b>CONCLUSIONS</b>Both OM-85BV and ATRA can reduce respiratory inflammation in asthmatic mice. However, a combination of the two drugs does not have a better effect than them used alone.</p>
