AIM: To investigate the effect of astragaloside Ⅳ on severe acute pancreatitis (SAP)-associated acute liver injury in the rats and to explore the underlying mechanisms. METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (n=96) were randomly divided into sham-operated group, SAP model group, astragaloside Ⅳ treatment group and AG490 treatment group. SAP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate (1 mL/kg) into the biliopancreatic duct. The rats in astragaloside Ⅳ treatment group were intraperitoneally injected with 20 mg/kg astragaloside Ⅳ, while the rats in AG490 treatment group were injected with 8.0 mg/kg AG490 2 h before sodium taurocholate injection. The rats in sham-operated group and model group received the same volume of saline. The rats were sacrificed at 12 h, 18 h and 24 h after the treatment. The levels of ascites, serum amylase, ALT and AST were detected after the blood samples were collected by the puncture through inferior vena cava. The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were also examined by ELISA. Furthermore, HE staining was used to observe the liver pathological changes, and the protein levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 in the liver were evaluated by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham-operated group, the levels of ascites, serum amylase, ALT, AST, IL-6, TNF-α and IL-1β in the rats in model group were significantly increased, while they were decreased in the rats in astragaloside Ⅳ treatment group and AG490 treatment group compared with the rats in model group. Meanwhile, the phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3 was significantly increased in model group compared with sham-operated group. The rats in astragaloside Ⅳ treatment group and AG490 treatment group both had a better improvement in the liver injury and lower phosphorylation levels of JAK2 and STAT3.CONCLUSION: Astragaloside Ⅳ exerts a protective effect on pancreatitis-associated acute liver injury in the rats possibly via inhibiting JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of AG490 on the expression of VEGF and HIF-1α, and the capacity of invasion in human erythroleukemia (HEL) cells. METHODS: The HEL cells were treated with AG490 at different concentrations. The cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay. The apoptosis was detected by Hoechst staining. The apoptosis and the cell cycle were analyzed by flow cytometry. The capacity of migration was evaluated by Transwell assay. The mRNA expression level of JAK2 was measured by RT-PCR. The protein levels of p-JAK2, VEGF and HIF-1α were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: The HEL cell viabilities were 88%, 75%, 48%, 10% and 0.12% after treated with AG490 at 20, 40, 60, 80 and 100 μmol/L for 48 h, respectively. The results of Hoechst staining showed that brilliant blue cells in 80 μmol/L AG490 group was significantly increased compared with control group for 48 h. The apoptosis rate of 80 μmol/L AG490 group was significantly increased compared with control group at 48 h after AG490 treatment. The number of membrane-permeating HEL cells in 20 μmol/L AG490 group at 24 h after AG490 treatment was significantly lower than that in control group (P<0.05). The mRNA level of JAK2 decreased in a concentration-dependent manner after the HEL cells were treated with different concentrations of AG490 for 48 h. The protein levels of p-JAK2, VEGF and HIF-1α were lower in AG490 treatment groups than those in control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: AG490 inhibits the expression of VEGF and HIF-1α in HEL cells by inhibiting JAK2 pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the correlation of hepatitis B virus X protein (HBx) with renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis in hepatitis B virus-associated glomerulonephritis (HBVGN) and the possible signaling mechanism.
METHODS: The activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins in human kindey proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2 cells) were determined by Western blotting after transfection with HBx eukaryotic expression vector. The cell proliferation was observed by CCK-8 assay. The cell apoptosis was analyzed by the imaging of HO33342 staining, transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI double staining.
RESULTS: After transfection of the target gene HBx, the expression levels of both p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased. At the same time, the cell proliferation was obviously inhibited, and the apoptotic rate was increased. After incubation with AG490, the JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway was partially blocked, and the cell apoptosis induced by HBx was reduced.
CONCLUSION：HBx up-regulates the activation of JAK2/STAT3 signal pathway to induce renal tubular epithelial cell apoptosis, which is possibly involved in the pathogenic mechanism that HBV directly damages nephridial tissue. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effects and mechanism of tacrolimus on renal ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) injury in rats.METHODS: Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham-operated group, I/R group and tacrolimus group. After the renal I/R injury model was established, the serum content of creatinine(Cr), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and malondialdehyde(MDA) and activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) were measured at reperfusion time points of 0.5 h, 2 h, 6 h and 24 h. The renal histopathological lesions and the expression of Fas and caspase-3 were observed by the methods of microscopy and immunohistochemistry, respectively.RESULTS: At all the 4 time points, the levels of Cr, TNF-α and MDA in tacrolimus group were lower than those in I/R group(P<0.05). The SOD activity in tacrolimus group was higher than that in I/R group. Compared with I/R group, the renal histopathological lesions were improved, and the levels of Fas and caspase-3 were significantly decreased in tacrolimus group(P<0. 05).CONCLUSION: Tacrolimus inhibits the production of free radical, the expression of TNF-α and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells in renal I/R injury in rats, indicating that tacrolimus has protective function against renal I/R injury. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of homeodomain-interacting protein kinase 2 (HIPK2) on the viabi-lity, apoptosis and JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation (H/R). METHODS: HIPK2 small interfering RNA (siRNA) was transfected into NRK-52E cells by LipofectamineTM 2000, and normal control group (control group) and negative control group (HIPK2-NC group) were set up. After H/R, the cell viability was measured by CCK-8 assay, the apoptotic rate and Ca2+ fluorescence intensity were analyzed by flow cytometry, and the protein levels of Ki67, cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the protein expression of HIPK2 in the NRK-52E cells was significantly decreased after transfection with HIPK2 siRNA (P<0.05). Compared with control group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in H/R group were also significantly decreased, and the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with H/R group, the cell viability and the protein expression of Ki67 and Bcl-2 in HIPK2-siRNA+H/R group were significantly increased, while the apoptotic rate, the Ca2+ fluorescence intensity and the protein levels of cleaved caspase-3, caspase-12, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition of HIPK2 gene expression promotes H/R-induced growth of NRK-52E renal tubular epithelial cells, and reduces the apoptosis. The mechanism is related to down-regulating the JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the changes of the gut mucosa antioxidant system and liver, renal functions during rat intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS: 30 male Wistar rats underwent 45 min of intestinal ischemia by clamping the superior mesenteric artery followed by reperfusion. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), glutathione (GSH), the activities of antioxidant enzymes in the gut mucosa including catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione S- transferase (GST) activity and serum ALT, AST, BUN, Cr were assayed at 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after reperfusion. RESULTS: The levels of MDA and GSH in the gut mucosa increased and decreased significantly at 2 h of reperfusion, respectively (P<0.05). MDA was still lower than sham at 24 h of reperfusion (P<0.05), while GSH decreased to 40% of sham at 4 h of reperfusion (P<0.01) but returned to the level of control at 12 h. The activities of CAT, SOD and GSH-Px did not show significant changes in rat after intestinal ischemia reperfusion. GST decreased 39% at 2 h of reperfusion compared with the sham group and decreased to 56% of sham at 4 h (P<0.05), but returned to the level of control at 12 h after reperfusion. Serum ALT, AST, BUN and Cr increased significantly at 2 h of reperfusion (P<0.05) and increased 208%, 100%, 103%, 41% compared with control at 4 h of reperfusion (P<0.01). However, at 24 h of reperfusion, they returned to normal. CONCLUSION: Intestinal ischemia/reperfusion diminishes GSH level and GST activity, increases MDA level and causes liver and renal reversible damages. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of ethane 1,2-dimethanesulfonate (EDS) preconditioning on renal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. METHODS: Male SD rats (n=48) were randomly assigned to 6 groups: blank, sham, I/R, EDS+I/R, EDS+testosterone (TST)+I/R, and castration (Cast)+I/R. The renal pedicles were bilaterally occluded with a microvascular clamp for 45 min to establish renal I/R-induced injury model. Bilateral orchiectomy was conducted 2 weeks before surgery. EDS (75 mg/kg) was intraperitoneally injected 5 d before operation. Blood samples were collected 24 h after reperfusion from the vena orbitalis posterior plexus. Luteinizing hormone (LH), TST, serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) were detected. The renal tissues were harvested to measure the level of TNF-α and the expression of Fas mRNA and caspase-3 protein. RESULTS: Serum TST levels in EDS+I/R group and Cast+I/R group were below the minimum detectable threshold. Compared with other groups, the rats in EDS+I/R group and Cast+I/R group had higher levels of SCr, BUN and KIM-1 (P<0.05). SCr and BUN levels showed no significant difference between EDS+I/R group and Cast+I/R group (P>0.05), but KIM-1 level in EDS+I/R group was lower than that in Cast+I/R group (P<0.05). After reperfusion for 24 h, the levels of TST and LH in EDS+I/R group, Cast+I/R group and EDS+TST+I/R group were lower than those 1 h before operation (P<0.05). Compared with Cast+I/R and I/R group, the TNF-α level and expression of Fas mRNA and caspase-3 protein were significantly decreased in EDS+I/R group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: EDS preconditioning substantially reduces the serum TST level, thus attenuating I/R-induced acute renal injury. TNF-α-induced Fas/FasL pathway may be involved in this process. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the role of PI3K/Akt and JAK2/STAT3 pathways in the protection of sulfur dioxide (SO2) against limb ischemia/reperfusion (I/R)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) in rats. METHODS: ALI was induced by limb I/R in the SD rats. Na2SO3(0.54 mmol/kg, ip)/NaHSO3 (0.18 mmol/kg, ip) as SO2 donor was injected at 20 min before reperfusion. The inhibitors of JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt pathways, Stattic (3 mg/kg, iv) and LY294002(40 mg/kg, iv), respectively, were injected at 1 h before reperfusion. Peripheral blood and lung tissues were collected for determining the contents of the cytokines, the protein levels of the molecules related to the signaling pathways, apoptosis and histopathologic changes by ELISA, TUNEL and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the content of MDA, the activity of MPO, lung coefficient, apoptotic index, cytokine expression, and the protein levels of p-Akt and p-STAT3 in I/R group all increased significantly, and administration of Na2SO3/NaHSO3 attenuated the damage in the lung. Besides, the results of Western blot showed that the rat lung tissues expressed p-STAT3 protein and p-Akt protein. After I/R, the protein levels of p-STAT3 and p-Akt were increased. After using Na2SO3/NaHSO3, p-Akt was increased, but p-STAT3 was decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Both JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt pathways are likely involved in the protective effect of SO2 against limb I/R-induced ALI in rats. The activation of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway increases I/R injury. Reversely, the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway reduces I/R injury. Besides, JAK2/STAT3 and PI3K/Akt signaling pathways may have crosstalk during I/R-induced ALI and JAK2/STAT3 pathway may have an impact on the P13K/Akt pathway. 相似文献

AIM: To determine the effects of glutamine(Gln) pretreatment on occludin protein in the rats with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion(I/R) injury. METHODS: Male Wistar rats(n=30) were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=10):sham group, I/R group and Gln pretreatment group. The rats in Gln pretreatment group were pretreated with Gln at dose of 1 g·kg-1·d-1 by orogastric route for 7 d, and those in the other 2 groups were pretreated with the same volume of normal saline. Intestinal I/R was induced by 30-min occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery followed by 24 h of reperfusion. After the operation, the levels of IL-10, IL-2, TNF-α, SOD and MDA were measured. The occludin protein was determined by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blotting. RESULTS: The occludin protein level in I/R group was significantly lower than that in sham group and Gln group(P<0.05). The levels of MDA and TNF-α in I/R group were significantly higher than those in sham group and Gln group(P<0.05). The levels of SOD, IL-10 and IL-2 in I/R group were significantly lower than those in sham group and Gln group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Glutamine has a protective effect on occludin protein in intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. The mechanism may be rela-ted to oxidative stress response and inflammatory inhibition. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the distributive rules of apoptosis index (AI) in liver with ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and evaluate the factors related to the hepatocyte apoptosis. METHODS: Sixty SD rats in specific pathogen free grade were randomly divided into three groups: control group (n=18), sham operation group (n=18) and I/R group (n=24). In I/R group, liver injury was induced by blocking blood inflow in rat liver for 20 min, then reperfusion for 22 h. Rats in the control group didnt receive any management. Rats in the sham operation group only subjected sham operation. All rat blood samples and livers were obtained for determination. Blood serum ALT, AST, TBIL, TNF-α, IFN-γ, IL-4, plasma endotoxin concentration, MDA level and SOD activity in liver were detected. Hepatic histological analysis was conduced through HE staining. Apoptosis was detected by TUNEL methods. RESULTS: Focal necrosis occurred in six rats livers in I/R group, in control group and sham group no necrosis cell was found in livers. The hepatic AI of I/R group was significantly increased compared with other groups. The AI in region under hepatic amicula was higher than that in central veins region and portal area. The necrotic regions contained apoptotic cells and AI was higher than that of other regions. Hepatic AI was significantly associated with ALT, AST, TNF-α, IFN-γ and SOD/MDA. CONCLUSION: In liver with I/R injury, the apoptotic cells in the region under hepatic amicula and the focus of necrosis are significantly higher than those in other regions, apoptotic cells and necrosis cells co-exist in the same zone. Hepatic AI may be significantly associated with ALT, AST, TNF-α and SOD/MDA. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the expression change of H3K36 trimethylation (H3K36me3) in acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia/reperfusion (IR) and analyze its correlation with SMYD2 and renal injury, and to provide a new target for clinical treatment of IR-AKI. METHODS: The ICR mice (n =30) were randomly divided into IR group (n =15) and sham operation group (sham group, n =15). The AKI model was established by clamping bilateral renal pedicles for 45 min. The serum and renal tissues of the mice were collected after the model was established for 24 h. The levels of blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine (SCr) were detected by biochemical method. The pathological changes of the kidney were observed by HE staining. The changes of NGAL and cleaved caspase-3 were observed by immunohistochemical (IHC) staining. The protein levels of NGAL, SMYD2, H3K36me3, p-P53, P53, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, STAT3, p-STAT3, JNK and p-JNK1/2/3 in the renal tissues were determined by Western blot. The relationship between H3K36me3 and SMYD2/NGAL was analyzed by Pearson correlation method. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, BUN and SCr levels of the mice in IR group were significantly increased (P <0.05). HE staining showed significant edema, abscission and necrosis in renal tubular epithelial cells of the micc in IR group, and abscission of brush border and large amount of cell debris in the lumen were also observed. The IHC staining results showed that the protein levels of NGAL and cleaved caspase-3 in IR group were significantly increased. The results of Western blot showed that the protein levels of NGAL, SMYD2, H3K36me3, p-P53, cleaved caspase-3, Bax, STAT3, p-STAT3, JNK and p-JNK1/2/3 in IR group were significantly up-regulated (P <0.05), while the Bcl-2 levels were significantly down-regulated (P <0.05). The correlation analysis showed that H3K36me3 was positively correlated with the levels of SMYD2 and NGAL. CONCLUSION: H3K36me3 is closely related to SMYD2 and renal injury in IR-AKI mice, and the up-regulated expression of H3K36me3 may be involved in the regulation of IR-AKI occurrence and development together with the activation of STAT3 and JNK signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of fucoidan on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats. METHODS:Adult male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:sham group, I/R group and Fucoidan+I/R group. Fucoidan at 160 mg/kg was intraperitoneally injected in rats of Fucoidan+I/R group 7 d prior to operation, and the equal volume of saline was intraperitoneally injected in rats of sham group and I/R group. The rats in I/R group and Fucoidan+I/R group underwent superior mesenteric artery occlusion for 1 h and then reperfusion for 2 h. Following reperfusion, the histomorphological changes of the ileum were examined by HE staining. The levels of diamine oxidase (DAO), D-lactic acid (D-LA), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-1β were detected in the blood samples, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and glutathione (GSH), the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and myeloperoxidase (MPO), and the protein levels of Bax, cleaved caspase-3 and Bcl-2 were analyzed in intestinal tissue samples. RESULTS:Compared with sham group and Fucoidan+I/R group, the serum levels of DAO, D-LA, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly increased in I/R group (P<0.05), Chiu's score of intestinal tissue, MDA content, MPO activity, the levels of Bax and cleaved caspase-3 protein in the intestinal tissues were also significantly increased (P<0.05), while the tissue GSH content, SOD activity, and Bcl-2 protein levels were significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Fucoidan attenuates intestinal tissue damage caused by I/R, which may be related to anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic effects. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the expression of calprotectin(CALP) in the rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury(IRI). METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham operation and IRI group(n=25 in each group). Blood samples and the kidneys were obtained at 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after reperfusion. The pathological changes of the kidneys were observed. The serum concentrations of blood urea nitrogen(BUN) and serum creatinine(SCr) were measured. The serum levels of CALP, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin-6(IL-6) were detected by ELISA, and the expression of CALP, Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) and NF-κB p65 in the renal tissues were determined by the methods of immunohistochemistry and Western blot. RESULTS: Different serial ischemia changes were observed in the renal tissues, mainly in the renal tubular epithelial cells and the mesenchyma, with the infiltration of inflammatory cells. The serum levels of BUN, SCr, CALP, TNF-α and IL-6 in IRI group were markedly increased as compared with sham group(P<0.05). The protein expression of CALP, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in the renal tubular epithelial cells in IRI group was greatly enhanced in comparison with that in sham group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The serum concentrations of CALP, TNF-α and IL-6, and the protein expression levels of CALP, TLR4 and NF-κB p65 in the renal tissue are significantly increased in the rats with IRI, suggesting that calprotectin plays an important role in the inflammation in rats with IRI. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of non-mitogenic human acidic fibroblast growth factor (nm-haFGF) on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: Rat renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury was produced by removing the left kidney and subsequently clamping the right renal artery for 60 min followed by reperfusion for 24 h. 5 min after reperfusion, different doses of nm-haFGF and haFGF (as positive control) were injected by lingual vein. 24 h later, the samples of blood, urine and kidney were collected and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA),blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected. Histopathological changes were also observed. RESULTS: In the serum, SOD activity of all the nm-haFGF groups and the haFGF group increased significantly while the content of MDA decreased dramatically compared with the model group; The content of BUN and Cr also decreased wherever in serum or in urine; In renal tissue, SOD activity in nm-haFGF 20 μg/kg group, 40 μg/kg group and haFGF group rose significantly compared with the model group, while MDA decreased dramatically. Histological examination showed that nm-haFGF markedly attenuates the renal edema, brush border’s defluvium and cell necrosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion. CONCLUSION: nm-haFDF could resist the renal injury induced by ischemia- reperfusion in rats. 相似文献

AIM: To observe the effect of simvastatin on myocardial tissue after renal ischemia-reperfusion injury and its mechanism. METHODS: A rat model of renal ischemia-reperfusion injury was prepared by clamping the bilateral renal arteries for 45 min. The rats (n=36) were randomly divided into sham operation group, renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group and simvastatin group with 12 rats in each group. The content of serum creatinine (SCr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and myocardial tissue malondialdehyde (MDA), the myocardial activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase (CK) and superoxide dismutase (SOD), and the myocardial protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the content of SCr, BUN and myocardial MDA, and the myocardial activity of LDH and CK in I/R group were significantly increased (P<0.05), and the activity of SOD was significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with I/R group, the content of SCr, BUN and myocardial MDA, and the myocardial activity of LDH and CK in simvastatin group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), while SOD activity was enhanced (P<0.05). The protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in sham operation group was less than that in I/R group (P<0.05), and the protein level of Bax in simvastatin group was significantly lower than that in I/R group (P<0.05), while the protein level of Bcl-2 was increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Simvastatin has a protective effect on the myocardium of the rats with renal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and the protective mechanism may be related to the elimination of free radicals by simvastatin, increase in the protein expression of Bcl-2 and decrease in the protein expression of Bax. 相似文献

AIM：To explore the effect of intervention for mast cell function before reperfusion on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR)-induced early liver injury. METHODS：Adult SD rats (n=35) were randomized into 5 groups with 7 rats each: sham operation group (S group), IR group, cromolyn sodium treatment group (IR+C group, 25 mg/kg), ketotifen treatment group (IR+K group, 1 mg/kg), compound 48/80 treatment group (IR+CP group, 0.75 mg/kg). IR was induced by superior mesenteric artery occlusion for 75 min followed by 4 h of reperfusion. The agents were intravenously administered 5 min before reperfusion. The serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and histamine, and the liver levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), interleukin-8 (IL-8), malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were assessed. The liver histopathologic changes were also evaluated. RESULTS：IR resulted in severe liver injury as demonstrated by great increases in injury scores, concomitant significant increases in serum levels of AST, ALT and histamine, and liver levels of LDH, TNF-α, IL-8, and MDA, accompanied by reduced SOD activity (all P<0.05 vs S group). Treatment with cromolyn sodium or ketotifen markedly alleviated IR-mediated liver injury as confirmed by significant reduction of the above biomedical changes, whereas compound 48/80 further aggravated liver injury by dramatically enhancing the biomedical changes (all P<0.05 vs IR group). CONCLUSION：Inhibition of mast cell function before reperfusion may reduce early liver injury induced by intestinal ischemia reperfusion. Histamine, oxidative stress and inflammatory response may provide promising effects on it. 相似文献

AIM:To observe the effect of electroacupuncture (EA) on the inflammatory response and hippocampal JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway in the rats with chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), and to explore the mechanism of EA attenuating the spatial learning and memory impairment induced by CCH. METHODS:Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group and EA group (n=10). Modified permanent bilateral common carotid artery occlusion was used to establish animal model. The rats in EA group were stimulated at "Baihui" and "Dazhui" acupoints by 2/15 Hz frequency (30 min/d for 4 weeks), while the rats in the other 2 groups received balanced treatment. The spatial learning and memory ability and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were detected by the methods of Morris water maze and laser Doppler flowmetry. The concentrations of interleukin (IL)-6 and IL-1β, the mRNA expression of JAK2 and STAT3, and the phosphorylated JAK2 and STAT3 protein levels in the hippocampus were determined by ELISA, RT-PCR and Western blot. The pathological changes of the hippocampus were observed with HE staining. RESULTS:In EA group, the rCBF, the average escape latency at every time point, and the original platform quadrant residence time were better than those in model group (P<0.01 or P<0.05). The level of IL-1β in EA group was significantly lower than that in model group (P<0.05), and the level of IL-6 was significantly increased (P<0.05). The mRNA expression of JAK2 and STAT3, and the protein levels of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 in EA group were significantly higher than those in model group (P<0.05). The impairment of nerve cells in the hippocampal CA1 region was reduced. CONCLUSION:Electroacupuncture inhibits inflammatory response, and alleviates the hippocampal damage and the cognitive disorder by regulating IL-6/JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathways. 相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effect of propofol on expression of protein kinase C (PKC) mRNA during pulmonary ischemia and reperfusion injury (PIRI) in rabbits. METHODS: Single lung ischemia and reperfusion animal model was used in vivo. The rabbits were randomly divided into three groups (n=9 in each): sham operated group (sham), PIR group (I-R) and PIR+ propofol group (PPF). Changes of several parameters including malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD), wet to dry ratio of lung tissue weight (W/D) and index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury (IQA) were measured at 60 minutes after reperfusion in lung tissue. Meanwhile the location and expression of PKC mRNA were observed. Lung tissue was also prepared for light microscopic and electron microscopic observation at 60 minutes after reperfusion. RESULTS: As compared with group I-R, PKC mRNA strongly expressed in intima and extima of small pulmonary artery as well as thin-wall vessels (mostly small pulmonary veins) in PPF group. The average optical density values of PKC-α、δ and θ mRNA in small pulmonary veins PPF in group showed significantly higher than that in I-R group (all P<0.01). SOD increased and MDA, W/D and IQA decreased at 60 minutes after reperfusion in lung tissue (P<0.01 and P<0.05). Abnormal changes of the lung tissue in morphology were lessen markedly in PPF group. CONCLUSIONS: Propofol produces notable protective effects on PIRI in rabbits by activating PKC-α， δ and θ mRNA expression in lung tissue, raising NO level, dropping OFR level and decreasing lipid peroxidation. 相似文献
