Objective:
To evaluate the relationship between GATA-3 and IL-4, IL-5 in patients with allergic rhinitis.
Methods:
The expression of GATA-3 was detected by immunochemistry and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) in 23 patients with allergic rhinitis. IL-4, IL-5 were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
Results:
The positive rate of GATA-3 was 86.9% (20/23) and the relative density ratio of GATA-3 and glyceraldehyde phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) were 0.602 +/- 0.11 in patients with allergic rhinitis. The concentrations of IL-4, IL-5 were (135.5 +/- 66.4) pg/mg, (77.5 +/- 29.4) pg/mg, respectively. The expressions of GATA-3 and IL-4, IL-5 had positive relationship (r = 0.45 and 0.62, P < 0.05).
Conclusions:
GATA-3 contributed to the production of IL-4, IL-5 in patients with allergic rhinitis.
