Objective To observe the changes of asthma related genes in patients before and after treatment with Hanchuan Shu. Methods Three cases were randomly selected from 200 cases of cold asthma syndrome patients cured by Hanchuan Shu. Venous blood samples were collected
RNA was isolated and extracted to do RT2 Profiler PCR Array test before and after treatment. Different genes were looked for and changes before and after treatment were compared. Results Four up-regulated genes were found after treatment
but there was not significant difference in changes between before and after treatment( P>0. 05). There was significant difference in the change of a downregulated gene between before and after treatment( P<0. 01)
but the change was less than 3 times. The changes of4 down-regulated genes were more than 3 times and the difference was significant. These four genes were ADAM33
IL4
LTB4 and RNASE3. Conclusion Hanchuan Shu could change part of genes related to asthma. It might treat asthma by regulating genes changes.
