OBJECTIVE: To study the expression of substance P receptor messenger RNA (SP-R mRNA) in nasal mucosa in allergic rhinitis (AR) rat model.
METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats free of disease were randomly divided into two groups. AR model rats were established through repeated intraperitoneal shot of ovalbumin (OV) and consequently confirmed by local challenge with OV. SP-R mRNA in nasal mucosa, obtained from two groups, were used to do reverse transcriptive polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Southern blot. beta-actin was used as a standard control through out the whole process.
RESULTS: The results showed definitely that there were positive expression of SP-R mRNA in normal nasal mucosa. This expressions increased significantly (P < 0.05) during nasal allergy.
CONCLUSION: Increased expression SP-R mRNA in nasal mucosa in AR model might play roles in the development of AR.
