Anti-allergic and anti-inflammatory effects of resveratrol via inhibiting TXNIP-oxidative stress pathway in a mouse model of allergic rhinitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a type I hypersensitivity mediated by IgE in the nose. Thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) plays a pivotal role in the process of producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Resveratrol is a TXNIP inhibitor. Nonetheless, its role and mechanism in AR are still undetermined. The present study aimed to explore the effect and mechanism of resveratrol on an ovalbumin (OVA) induced mouse model of AR.

Methods

AR murine model was established using OVA and administrated intranasally with resveratrol or N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Hematoxylin and eosin (HE) stain was used for evaluating eosinophils. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining and real-time PCR were employed to evaluate immunolabeling and mRNA expression of TXNIP in nasal mucosas of mic
