Protective effect of vitamin D on mice with atopic dermatitis
Objective To investigate the protective effect of vitamin D on atopic dermatitis mice,and its mechanism.Methods Fifty male BALB/c mice in clean grade were randomly divided into blank group,model group,control group and experimental-L group,experimental-H group,10 rats in each group.Except for the blank group,mice in the other groups were modeled with 2,4-dinitrofluorobenzene(DNCB).After modeling,mice in experimental-L and experimental-H groups were evenly smeared with 5 and 10 μg·kg-11,25(OH)2D3 on their backs every day,respectively;control group were evenly coated with hydrocortisone solution(1 mg·cm-2)twice a day for 10 days,and the mice in blank group and model group were coated with the same amount of 0.9％NaCl every day.After the administration,the skin lesions were evaluated,and orbital blood was collected and the back skin tissues were collected for use.The epidermal thickness was observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the number of mast cells was detected by toluidine blue staining.The expression levels of serum immunoglobulin E(IgE),interleukin(IL)-13,IL-4,IL-17 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and the proportion of serum Th1 and Th2 cells were detected by flow cytometry.The expression of histamine type 1 receptor(HIR),protease activating receptor 2(PAR2),transient receptor potential vanillin 1(TRPV1)in back skin was detected by immunohistochemistry.Results The symptom scores of mice in blank group,model group,experimental-L group,experimental-H group and control group were 0,(8.50±1.12),(6.34±0.54),(3.91±0.29)and(3.79±0.53)points;the epidermal thickness of the back skin were(42.05±4.14),(77.65±7.02),(61.12±5.02),(55.34±4.13)and(52.19±3.08)μm;the number of mast cells in back tissue were(4.67±0.27),(32.16±2.49),(25.23±2.07),(18.13±1.46)and(15.37±1.29)number·mm-2;Th1/Th2 cell ratios were 2.76±0.28,0.36±0.06,1.02±0.18,2.05±0.14 and 2.07±0.29,respectively;HIR expression levels were 0.05±0.00,0.21±0.02,0.16±0.02,0.10±0.01 and 0.08±0.01;the expression levels of PAR2 were 0.05±0.01,0.19±0.01,0.12±0.01,0.09±0.01 and 0.07±0.01;the expression levels of TRPV1 were 0.05±0.01,0.25±0.03,0.15±0.01,0.10±0.01 and 0.09±0.00,respectively.The above indicators,experimental-L group,experimental-H group and control group were compared with model group;experimental-H group compared with experimental-L group,the differences were all statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Vitamin D can reduce DNCB induced atopic dermatitis by regulating Th1/Th2 cell balance,which may be related to the TRPV1 oxygen signaling pathway mediated by HIR and PAR2.
