Effects of Bimin Formula (鼻敏方) on the Nasal Mucosa TMEM16A/NF-κB/MUC5AC Signaling Pathway in a Rat Model of Allergic Rhinitis with Lung-Spleen Qi Deficiency
deficiency syndrome of allergic rhinitis (AR) with high mucin secretion.
Methods
2
Thirty-four SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group (8 rats), a model group (8 rats), a low-dose
Bimin Formula
group (8 rats), and a high-dose
Bimin Formula
group (10 rats). Except for the blank group, the other groups were subjected to AR lung-spleen
qi
deficiency rat models induced by smoking, gavage of Ginkgo biloba leaf extract, and ovalbumin. After modeling, rats in the low- and high-dose
Bimin Formula
groups were given
Bimin Formula
concentrate (concentration of 2.16 g/ml) by gavage at doses of 1.08 g/100 g and 2.16 g/100 g, respectively, while rats in the model group were given 0.5 ml/100 g of normal saline by gavage, once daily for 28 days; the blank group was not intervened. Behavioral assessments were performed after intervention. ELISA was used to detect the levels of peripheral blood total immunoglobulin E (IgE). HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of nasal mucosa epithelium in rats, while immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of transmembrane protein 16A (TMEM16A) and mucin 5AC (MUC5AC) protein in nasal mucosa. Western Blot was used to detect the expression of nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) protein, and RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of TMEM16A, MUC5AC, and NF-κB mRNA in nasal mucosa.
Results
2
HE staining showed that the nasal mucosa epithelial cell structure in the blank group was intact without shedding, swelling, or necrosis; the nasal mucosa epithelial tissue of rats in the model group was thickened and partially shed, with infiltration of eosinophils and lymphocytes visible; the pathological changes in nasal mucosa tissue of rats in the high- and low-dose
Bimin Formula
groups were improved, and more improvement was showen in the high-dose group. Compared with those in the blank group, the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the model group significantly increased, as well as the expression of TMEM16A, MUC5AC, and NF-κB proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosa (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01). Compared with those in the model group, the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the high-dose
Bimin Formula
group decreased, and the expression of TMEM16A, MUC5AC, and NF-κB proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosaalso decreased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01); the behavioral scores and peripheral blood total IgE levels of rats in the low-dose
Bimin Formula
group were reduced, and the expression of TMEM16A and MUC5AC proteins and mRNA in nasal mucosa, as well as the expression of NF-κB protein decreased (
P
<0.05 or
P
<0.01), but the difference in NF-κB mRNA expression was not statistically significant (
P
>0.05). Compared with the low-dose
Bimin Formula
group, the expression of NF-κB protein in the high-dose group decreased (
P
<0.01).
Conclusion
2
Bimin Formula
may improve the symptoms and high mucus secretion of AR lung-spleen
qi
deficiency by regulating the TMEM16A/NF-κB/MUC5AC signaling pathway in nasalmucosa.
