Orosomucoid-like protein 3 (ORMDL3) is a common mutation in many asthma patients and its effects on the specific pathogenesis of asthma are still unclear. Therefore, in this study, we used a mouse that specifically knockout the mouse ORDML3 gene to further study the mechanism. We used ovalbumin (OVA) to induce asthma in wild-type mice and ORMDL3 knockout mice. Lung ventilation resistance, airway inflammation, mucus hypersecretion, collagen deposition, the levels of inflammatory factors and the expression of ORDML3 and JNK1/2-MMP-9 pathway were detected. The results showed that ORMDL3 gene was highly expressed in clinical asthmatic children and mouse asthma model. Knocking down the ORMDL3 gene in the lung tissue of asthmatic mice can reduce airway hyperresponsiveness, airway inflammation, mucus secretion, and collagen deposition around the airway. After knocking down the lung tissue of mice, the IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 concentrations in broncho alveolar lavage fluid of asthmatic mice were significantly decreased, and the activation of JNK1/2-MMP-9 pathway was inhibited in mouse lung tissue. Collectively, our results demonstrate that the ORMDL3 gene may aggravate asthma symptoms by activating the JNK1/2-MMP-9 pathway, which indicates that the ORMDL3 gene may be the key molecule for the next step of asthma targeted therapy.
