METHODS:GuineapigsweresensitizedwithovalbuminconjunctedwithAl(OH)3,andsubsequentlychallengedrepeatedlywithovalbuminaerosol
Theguineapigswererandomlydividedintothecontrolgroup,asthmatic4,6,8weekgroups
TheexpressionsofMMP9andTIMP1inbronchiandlungtissueswereobservedbyimmunohistochemistrycombinedwiththemicroimageanalysis.ThelevelsofMMP9mRNAandTIMP1mRNAweredeterminedbysemiquantitativePCR
RESULTS:①Afterrepeatedallergenchallenge,smoothmusclehyperplasiawasobviousinguineapigbronchi.ExpressionlevelsofMMP9andTIMP1intheepithelialcellsofbronchiweresignificantlyhigherinasthmaticanimalsthanthos
