Abstract:objective:To explore the role of caveolin一1 and p42/p44MAPK in the airway remodeling of asthmatic rats and the intervention of Roxithromycin.Methods:Thirty—two healthy.male Sprague—Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups averagely:control group(group C),asthmatic group(group A),Dexamethasone group(group D)and Roxithromycin group(group R).Asthmatic rats model was duplicated by the sensitization and provocation with ovalbumin.The total bronchial wall thickness(Wat/Pbm)and the bronchial smooth muscle thickness(Wam/Pbm)were measured with image—pro plus 6.0.The protein expressions of caveolin一1 and p-p421 p44MAPK in the airway smooth muscle were measured with Western blot.Results:Wat/Pbm,Wam/Pbm of group A were significantly higher than those ofgroup C(P<0.01),those ofgroup D and group R were lower than those of group A(P<0.01),nevertheless,higher than those of group C(P<O.05).The expression of caveolin一1 in group A was significantly lower than that of group C(P<O.01),that of group D and group R were significantly higher than that of group A(P<0.01),but decreased compared with group C(P<0.05);the expression of p-p42/p44MAPK in groupA significantly increased compared with group C(P<0.01),that of group D and group R were significantly decreased than that of group A(P<0.01),but still increased compared with group C(P<0.01).There were significantly negative correlation between Wam/Pbm and the protein expression of caveolin—l(r=一0.893,P<0.01).There were significantly positive correlation between Wam/Pbm and the expression of P—D42/I:144MAPK measured with Western blot(r=-0.918.P<0.01).There was significantly negative correlation between the expressions ofcaveolin一1 and P—p42/p44MAPK measured with Western blot(r=.0.873,P<O.0 1).Conclusions:There may be some connections between caveolin一1 and 042/044MAPK signaling in airway remodeling of asthmatic rats.and Roxithromycin maybe inhibits airway remodeling partly through caveolin一1 and p42/p44 MAPK signaling pathway.
