    Abstract:
    AIM: To study the Uygur medicine Hyssopus officinalis L on T-bet, GATA-3, STAT-3 mRNA levels of asthma rats in order to explore the mechanism of its treatment of asthma. METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into normal control group, asthma model group and dexamethasone group and water extract of Hyssopus officinalis L high and low dose group. The rats were sensitized with OVA, Al(OH)(3); and DPT vaccine and then challenged with inhalation of aerosolized OVA solution for Preparation of asthma model and the level of T-bet, GATA-3, STAT-3 mRNA were detected with RT-PCR. RESULTS: The normal control group and model group, model group and treatment group, the expression of T-bet, GATA-3 and STAT-3 mRNA in the lung tissue was statistically significant differences(P<0.05). Compared with model group, after treatment of Hyssopus officinalis L the expression of GATA-3 and STAT-3 mRNA of asthma rats significantly reduced (P<0.05), but the expression of T-bet mRNA was significantly higher (P<0.05).The expression of GATA-3 and STAT-3 mRNA of Hyssopus officinalis L high-dose treatment group was lower than the low-dose treatment group (P<0.05), but T-bet mRNA that was higher(P<0.05). The expression of T-bet mRNA has negative correlation with GATA-3 mRNA (r=-0.696), the expression of STAT-3 mRNA has correlation with T-bet mRNA and GATA-3 mRNA(r=-0.767, 0.772), P<0.05. CONCLUSION: Hyssopus officinalis L probably regulates the differentiation of Th1, Th2 and Th17 on transcription level to play the role of anti-inflammatory.
