To investigate the role of OX40 and Bcl-2 in allergic rhinitis(AR).
Twenty-three subjects of allergic rhinitis as experimental group were collected and 20 subjects of deflection of nasal septum as control group. OX40 and Bcl-2 expression were examined in biopsy specimens of AR patients and nasal septum patients by immunohistochemistry respectively. The relationship between OX40 and Bcl-2 expression was analyzed.
OX40 and Bcl-2 expression increased in the AR patients. There were positive staining not only in CD4+ T cells,but also in vascular endothelial cell, epithelial cell and glandular epithelium cell (P < 0.01). Compared with control group, the expression of OX40 (0.239 4 +/- 0.033 5) and Bcl-2 (0.237 3 +/- 0.042 1) were significantly higher than that in control group (P < 0.01). The OX40 expression was closely related to Bcl-2 expression (r = 0.869 0, P < 0.05).
The abnormal expression of costimulatory molecule OX40 is well evidenced in AR. Bcl-2 expression is likely mediated by OX40 signal pathway.
探讨OX40和Bcl-2在变应性鼻炎(AR)中的作用。
收集23例变应性鼻炎患者作为实验组,20例鼻中隔偏曲患者作为对照组。分别采用免疫组织化学法检测AR患者和鼻中隔患者活检标本中OX40和Bcl-2的表达情况,并分析OX40与Bcl-2表达之间的关系。
AR患者中OX40和Bcl-2表达增加。不仅在CD4+T细胞中有阳性染色,在血管内皮细胞、上皮细胞和腺上皮细胞中也有阳性染色(P<0.01)。与对照组相比,OX40(0.239 4±0.033 5)和Bcl-2(0.237 3±0.042 1)的表达明显高于对照组(P<0.01)。OX40表达与Bcl-2表达密切相关(r=0.869 0,P<0.05)。
共刺激分子OX40在AR中存在异常表达。Bcl-2表达可能由OX40信号通路介导。
