Objective To investigate the effect of andrographolide on inflammatory response in bronchiolitis rats with respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection with bronchiolitis by modulating the NLRP3/Caspase-1 signaling pathway. Methods Thirty-four rats were selected and the rat model of bronchiolitis was constructed by RSV nasal drop. The 30 rats with successful modeling were randomly divided into control group, model group, andrographolide (5, 10 mg/kg) group, Nigericin group, and andrographolide + Nigericin group (10 + 1.45 mg/kg). The water content and lung index of lung tissue in each group were analyzed. HE was used to detect pathological changes in the lungs. RSV viral load in lung tissue was detected by qRT-PCR. Western blotting and IHC were used to detect the expressions of NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in lung tissue. Flow cytometry was used to detect the ratio of Th1/Th2 cells in rat peripheral blood. The levels of TNF-γ, IL-6, and IL-4 in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected by ELISA. Results Compared with the model group, the lung index, lung tissue water content, and viral load of andrographolide (5, 10 mg/kg) group were reduced, and the lung injury was improved, the positive expression rate, the protein expression rates of NLRP3 and Caspase-1, the percentage content of Th2 cells, levels of TNF-γ, and IL-6 decreased, the percentage of Th1 cells, and the level of IL-4 in BALF increased (P < 0.05, 0.001). Compared with the andrographolide 10 mg/kg group, the above indexes in andrographolide + Nigericin group were opposite (P < 0.05, 0.01, 0.001). Conclusion Andrographolide can improve the inflammatory response in RSV infected bronchiolitis rats, possibly by inhibiting the NLRP3/Caspase-1 pathway.
