BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the therapeutic effects of Kechuanning gel plaster on ovalbumin (OVA)-induced rat model of asthma.

METHODS: Rats were injected with OVA to induce asthma, and Kechuanning gel plaster was administered after the OVA challenge. The immune cell counts in the bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were calculated after Kechuanning gel plaster administration. The levels of immune factors in BALF and serum OVA-specific IgE levels were analyzed. Western blot analysis and immunohistochemistry were carried out to analyze the following proteins: C-FOS, C-JUN, RAS p21 protein activator 1 (RASA1), matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9), RAF1, p-MEK1, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP1), and p-extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1).

RESULTS: Administration of Kechuanning gel plaster led to decreased immune cell counts, inflammatory cytokines (interleukin (IL)-1β, IL13, and IL17), and OVA-specific IgE expression. Compared to the normal group, the C-FOS, C-JUN, RASA1, MMP9, RAF1, MEK1, TIMP1, and p- ERK1 expressions in the model group were significantly increased, whereas Kechuanning gel plaster administration decreased C-JUN, MMP9, TIMP1, RAF1, MEK1, p-ERK1, C-FOS, and RASA1 protein levels.

CONCLUSION: Kechuanning gel plaster exerted its therapeutic effects on OVA-induced asthma model rats through the ERK signaling pathway. Kechuanning gel plaster could be considered as a potential alternative therapeutic agent for the management of asthma.
