【摘要】 目的 觀察百草枯中毒大鼠腎組織中血紅素氧合酶1(HO1)的表達,探討其病理生理機制。 方法 SD大鼠126只隨機分為空白對照組、中毒組和褪黑素組,各42只。中毒組、褪黑素組予以百草枯(25 mg/kg)腹腔注射染毒,對照組予以等量生理鹽水腹腔注射,15 min后褪黑素組予以褪黑素(10 mg/kg)腹腔注射,對照組、中毒組予以等量生理鹽水腹腔注射。于1、3、6、12 h,1、2、3、5 d時各組隨機取6只處死。蘇木精〖CD3/5〗伊紅(HE)染色觀察各組腎組織病理學變化,采用免疫組識化學和RTPCR觀察腎組織HO1蛋白和mRNA表達。 結果 ①與對照組相比,中毒組染毒后3 h即可見充血、水腫及空泡變性等病理變化,1 d達頂峰,病理損傷評分3.30±0.31(Plt;0.05),其后緩解趨勢不明顯;而褪黑素組病理變化明顯減輕且緩解趨勢明顯,1 d時病理損傷評分2.70±0.26,與中毒組相比差異有統計學意義(Plt;0.05)。②與對照組相比,中毒組染毒3 h在皮質部腎小管上皮細胞的細胞膜及細胞漿HO1呈陽性表達,免疫組識化學評分(IHS)3.33±1.75,HO1 mRNA表達增強,與對照組相比差異有統計學意義(Plt;0.05),1 d達頂峰,HIS為7.00±2.00,之后減弱,5 d仍有陽性表達,但與對照組相比差異無統計學意義(Pgt;0.05);褪黑素組HO1表達較中毒組明顯增強,IHS評分6 h~3 d差異具有統計學意義(Plt;0.05),5 d不再有統計學意義(Pgt;005)。 結論 HO1在百草枯中毒大鼠腎組織中呈高表達,褪黑素能明顯改善百草枯中毒腎臟病理損傷,增強HO1表達可能是其作用途徑之一,而氧化損傷可能是百草枯中毒腎損傷病理生理機制之一。【Abstract】 Objective To investigate the expression of heme oxygenase1 (HO1) in paraquartinduced renal injury in rats and the protective effects of melatonin, and explore possible mechanism of paraquartinduced renal injury. Methods One hundred and twentysix adult healthy SpragneDawley rats were randomly divided into three groups and 42 in each group: control group (A), paraquart group (B), and melatonin group (C). The rats in group B and group C were treated with paraquart (25 mg/kg) intraperitoneally, the rats in group A were treated with the same dose of normal saline. In 15 minutes, the rats in group C were given melatonin intraperitoneally at a dose of 10 mg/(kg·d) and the rats in group A and B were treated intraperitoneally with the same dose of normal saline. Six rats in each group were randomly sacrificed at one, three, 12 hours and one, tou, three, five days respectively. Renal histopathological changes were observed under light microscope by HE staining. The protein and mRNA expressions of HO1 were evaluated by immunohistochemical staining and RTPCR respectively. Results ①In group B, there were obvious lesions in the renal tubule of cortical part, including edema, congestion and vacuolar degeneration. These pathologic changes gradually reached the peak on the first day and did not relieved till the end of this study, the pathologic injury score was 3.30±0.31, and there was a statistical significance between group B and group A (Plt;0.05). The aforementioned pathological lesion was more palliative in group C, the pathologic injury score was 2.70±0.26 at the first day; Compared with group B, there was a statistical significance. ②In group A, there was no or weak expression of HO1 and HO1 mRNA. At the third hour, the expression of HO1 in group B was observed in the membrane and cytoplasm of renal tubular epithelial cell of cortical part. Immunohistochemistry score (IHS) was 3.33±1.75 and the expression of HO1 mRNA increased, there was a statistical significance between group B and group A (Plt;0.05). It reached the peak on the first day, IHS was 7.00±2.00, but there was no statistical difference between group B and group A on the fifth day (Pgt;0.05); Compared with group B, the expression in group C was enhanced obviously, IHS were higher obviously on the six hour till to the third day (Plt;0.05), but there were no statistical differences on the fifth day (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The expression of HO1 in the paraquartdamaged kidney increases and melatonin surely has an protective effect by increasing the expression of HO1, which suggests that oxidative injury might be the main mechanism of paraquartinduced renal injury.
ObjectiveTo investigate the endoplasmic reticulum stress associated apoptosis gene Caspase-12 expression in paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis.
Methods30 adult healthy Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into a nomal control group,two pulmonary fibrosis model groups (intragastrically administered paraquat for 14 days and 28 days,respectively).The model of pulmonary fibrosis was established through intragastrically administering paraquat at the dose of 30 mg/kg.RT-PCR was used to determine the mRNA expression of Caspase-12.Immunohistochemistry was used to determine the protein expression of Caspase-12.HE staining and Masson staining were used to determine the degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis.
ResultsHE staining and Masson staining of lung tissues proved that pulmonary fibrosis model was successfully constructed.The degree of alveolitis and pulmonary fibrosis in the model group was significantly more serious than that in the control group(P<0.01).RT-PCR and Immunohistochemistry results showed that the expression of Caspase-12 were remarkably increased in the pulmonary fibrosis model group(14 d group)(P<0.01),even more elevated in 28 d group compared with the 14 d group.
ConclusionThe results demonstrate that the expression of Caspase-12 in paraquat poisoned rats is up-regulated,suggesting endoplasmic reticulum stress plays an important role in paraquat induced-pulmonary fibrosis.
Objective To investigate the effects and mechanisms of hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) on pulmonary fibrosis through the PI3K/AKt/mTOR signalling pathway. Methods Paraquat intraperitoneal injection was used to establish a mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis. Thirty-six SPF C57BL/6J female mice were randomly divided into a blank group, a paraquat group (20 mg/kg) and a HCQ intervention group. The HCQ intervention group was divided into two subgroups (10 mg/kg and 30 mg/kg) according to different doses. The general condition and body weight changes of mice were observed. twenty-one days later, lung tissues were stained with hematoxylin-eosin and Masson’s pathological staining, and the content of inflammatory factors (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α) and hydroxyproline (HYP) were detected by ELISA. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), E-cadherin (E-cad), the expression levels of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway-related proteins, phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (AKt), and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) were detected by Western blot. The gene expression levels of α-SMA and E-cad were detected by q-PCR. Results Compared with the blank group, the mice in the paraquat group had lower body weight, worse general condition, higher serum levels of inflammatory factors, increased lung structure destruction and collagen deposition, significantly increased HYP content, and higher expression level of PI3K/AKt/mTOR signaling pathway related proteins (all P<0.05). The expression levels of E-cad protein and gene decreased, α-SMA protein and gene increased (all P<0.05). While the HCQ intervention group improved the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in different degrees, and the relevant indexes of PI3K/AKt/mTOR signaling pathway decreased compared with the paraquat group (all P<0.05). Conclusion HCQ can ameliorate paraquat-induced pulmonary fibrosis by inhibiting the PI3K/AKt/mTOR signaling pathway.
ObjectiveTo establish paraquat (PQ)-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) mice model via gavage, in order to simulate oral adminitration in clinical situations.MethodsSeventy-eight 6-8-week-old, specific pathogen free female C57 mice were chosen in this study. The mice were randomly divided into the control group (n=6) and the PQ model group(n=36); the mice in the latter group were randomly divided into 6 poisoning model subgroups further, with 6 mice in each, to find out the suitable concentration of PQ to establish stable ARDS model. The mice in the control group were given phosphatebuffer saline (PBS) by gavage, 200 μL per mouse; while the mice in the 6 poisoning model subgroups were given PQ with varies doses of 3, 10, 30, 100, 150, 300 mg/kg respectively by gavage. The clinical manifestations were observed for 7 days, and the ratio of lung wet/dry (W/D) was measured. After the suitable concentration of PQ for stable ARDS mice model was found, the other 36 mice were randomly divided into the controlgroup and the poisoning model group, both were divided into 4 subgroups, according to different observation point in time (1 day and 2, 3, 4 days after PQ gavage). The mice in the 4 control subgroups (n=3) were given PBS by gavage, 200 μL per mouse; while the mice in the 4 poisoning model subgroups (n=6) were given PQ with the suitable concentration for ARDS mice model by gavage. Pathological manifestations by Haematoxylin-Eosin staining and lung injury score were observed and analyzed.ResultsThe mice began to die at the PQ dosage of 150 mg/kg; while the death rate was stable at 300 mg/kg. On the 2nd and 4th day after PQ gavage, lung W/D was 5.335, 6.113, and 5.525, and 6.403, respectively in the mice in 150 and 300 mg/kg subgroup, which differed much from those in the control group (P<0.001). Congestion, edema, hemorrhage, alveolar structure damage, inflammation cells infiltration of lung tissue were observed, and lung injury score increased.ConclusionPQ-induced ARDS mice model by gavage is established successfully.
