Abstract

The expression level of vitamin D receptor in patients with asthma was investigated to study the association between vitamin D receptor and inflammatory changes in asthma. Thirty patients with bronchial asthma treated in the Tianjin Hospital of ITCWM Nankai Hospital were selected as the experimental group, while 30 healthy individuals were selected as the control group. The mRNA expression level of vitamin D receptor in blood was detected via reverse transcription‑quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The protein expression level of vitamin D receptor in blood was detected via western blot analysis and the levels of inflammatory factors were detected via enzyme-linked immune sorbent assay (ELISA). Correlations between the expression level of vitamin D and inflammatory factors were studied via Pearson's analysis. Finally, the prognoses of patients were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that the mRNA and protein expression levels of vitamin D receptor in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group (P<0.01). The content of 25-(OH) D3 in serum in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.01). The contents of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in serum in the experimental group were obviously higher than those in the control group, but the contents of IL-10 and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) were obviously lower than those in the control group (P<0.01). Moreover, the correlation analysis revealed that IL-6 and TNF-α were negatively correlated with the expression of vitamin D receptor (P<0.05), whereas IL-10 and TGF-β were positively correlated with the expression of vitamin D receptor (P<0.05). In conclusion, the expression of vitamin D receptor is positively correlated with the levels of pro-inflammatory factors. Moreover, the vitamin D receptor affects the prognosis and recovery of lung function of patients with asthma.
