Relationships of forkhead box P3 expression in peripheral blood with airway hyper-responsiveness and body allergic reaction in children with bronchial asthma

  • 摘要: 目的 探讨支气管哮喘患儿外周血叉头框蛋白P3(Foxp3)的表达及其与气道高反应性、机体变态反应的关系。方法 选取2024年7月—2025年6月在扬州大学附属医院就诊的80例支气管哮喘患儿作为试验组,另选取同期47名体检健康儿童作为对照组。比较2组气道高反应性指标(呼吸阻力、支气管激发物反应阈值和阻力上升斜率),机体变态反应指标血清免疫球蛋白E(IgE)、嗜酸性粒细胞阳离子蛋白(ECP)和嗜酸性粒细胞计数(EOS), 肺功能指标最大呼气流量(PEF)、第1秒用力呼气容积(FEV1)、用力肺活量(FVC)和第1秒用力呼气容积占用力肺活量比率(FEV1/FVC), 以及外周血Foxp3表达水平。采用Pearson相关性分析探讨Foxp3与气道高反应性和机体变态反应的相关性。结果 对照组呼吸阻力、阻力上升斜率低于试验组,反应阈值高于试验组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。试验组IgE、ECP和EOS水平均高于对照组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。试验组FEV1、FVC、PEF和FEV1/FVC低于对照组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。试验组Foxp3表达水平为(3.04±0.22), 低于对照组的(4.22±0.41), 差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。Foxp3与呼吸阻力(r=-0.700, P<0.001)、反应阈值(r=0.704, P<0.001)、阻力上升斜率(r=-0.842, P<0.001)、IgE(r=0.864, P<0.001)、ECP(r=-0.684, P<0.001)和EOS(r=-0.854, P<0.001)均存在显著相关性。结论 支气管哮喘患儿外周血Foxp3降低与气道高反应性和机体变态反应加重有关,提示Foxp3可能参与支气管哮喘的发病机制。

     

    Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of forkhead box P3 (Foxp3) in peripheral blood of children with bronchial asthma and its relationship with airway hyper-responsiveness and body allergy. Methods A total of 80 children with bronchial asthma treated in the Affiliated Hospital of Yangzhou University from July 2024 to June 2025 were selected as experimental group, and 47 healthy children with physical examinations in the same period were selected as control group. Airway hyper-responsiveness indicators (respiratory resistance, bronchial stimulant reaction threshold, and resistance increase slope), body allergy indicatorsserum immunoglobulin E (IgE), eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), and eosinophil count (EOS), pulmonary function indicatorspeak expiratory flow (PEF), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC), and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC), and the expression level of Foxp3 in peripheral blood were compared between the two groups. Pearson correlation analysis was used to explore the correlations of Foxp3 with airway hyper-responsiveness and body allergy. Results The respiratory resistance and resistance increase slope in the control group were significantly lower than those in the experimental group, while the reaction threshold was significantly higher than that in the experimental group (P < 0.05). The levels of IgE, ECP and EOS in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The FEV1, FVC, PEF, and FEV1/FVC in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The expression level of Foxp3 in the experimental group was (3.04±0.22), which was significantly lower than (4.22±0.41) in the control group (P < 0.05). Foxp3 was significantly correlated with respiratory resistance (r=-0.700, P < 0.001), reaction threshold (r=0.704, P < 0.001), resistance increase slope (r=-0.842, P < 0.001), IgE (r=0.864, P < 0.001), ECP (r=-0.684, P < 0.001), and EOS (r=-0.854, P < 0.001). Conclusion The decreased Foxp3 in peripheral blood in children with bronchial asthma is associated with aggravated airway hyper-responsiveness and body allergy, suggesting that Foxp3 may be involved in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma.
