中药调节变应性鼻炎Th1/Th2免疫平衡的作用及机制研究进展

    Advances in the Role and Mechanism of Traditional Chinese Medicines in Regulating the Th1/Th2 Immune Balance in Allergic Rhinitis

    • 摘要: 变应性鼻炎(allergic rhinitis,AR)是临床常见的呼吸道疾病,是机体免疫系统对某些常见变应原产生的异常过度应答。AR发病的核心机制在于Th2免疫应答过度活化、Th1免疫应答相对抑制,最终导致机体Th1/Th2免疫失衡。西药用于 AR 治疗时易引发患者依赖性,抗组胺药物等常伴随嗜睡等不良反应,不适合长期使用。因此,寻找安全、有效、低毒、经济,且具备多靶点、多途径作用优势的抗AR药物迫在眉睫。近年来研究表明,中药活性成分及其复方可通过介导不同信号通路抑制炎症细胞活化、减少炎性细胞因子释放、促进免疫细胞正常分化,从而恢复机体免疫平衡,改善机体相关症状。本文在文献查阅与分析的基础上,系统总结了TLR4-NF-κB、TLR9/AP-1、JAK/STAT及T-bet/GATA-3平衡等信号通路,以及中药单体、提取物及复方调节Th1/Th2免疫平衡以治疗AR的疗效和具体机制,旨在为推动中医药在过敏性疾病治疗领域的广泛应用与深入发展奠定基础,并为后续临床研究及药物研发提供新思路。

       

      Abstract: Allergic rhinitis(AR) is a common respiratory disease in which the body’s immune system mounts an abnormal and excessive response to certain common allergens. The core mechanism in the pathogenesis of AR is the overactivation of Th2 immune responses and the relative suppression of Th1 immune responses, which ultimately leads to Th1/Th2 immune imbalance in the body. Western medicine tends to cause drug dependence in patients during AR treatment, and antihistamines often produce adverse reactions such as drowsiness, making them unsuitable for long-term use. Therefore, it is urgent to find safe, effective, low-toxic, economical anti-AR drugs with multi-target and multi-pathway characteristics. In recent years, studies have shown that active ingredients and compound preparations of traditional Chinese medicine can restore immune homeostasis by mediating different signalling pathways to inhibit inflammatory cell activation, reduce cytokine release, and promote the normal differentiation of immune cells, thereby alleviating related symptoms. Based on literature review and analysis, this paper systematically summarizes the roles of TLR4-NF-κB, TLR9/AP-1, JAK/STAT, and T-bet/GATA-3 signaling pathways, as well as the efficacy and specific mechanisms of monomers, extracts, and compound formulas of traditional Chinese medicines in regulating Th1/Th2 immune balance for the treatment of AR. This review aims to lay a foundation for promoting the widespread application and in-depth development of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of allergic diseases, and to provide new ideas for future clinical research and drug development.
