摘要
目的建立脂多糖致大鼠急性肺损伤的模型,观察一氧化氮对大鼠气道环氧合酶-2(COX-2)和Toll样受体4(TLR4)的分布及表达的影响。方法健康雄性sD大鼠24只,按随机数字表法分为正常对照组、单用脂多糖(脂多糖组)、脂多糖加NO20×10^-6mg/L(低浓度NO组),脂多糖加NO100×10^-6mg/L(高浓度NO组)。气管内滴注脂多糖(5mg/kg)建立大鼠急性肺损伤模型。观察6h后的肺水肿程度、免疫组织化学(sP染色)和实时荧光定量PCR检测肺组织中COX-2和TLR4的表达,以及分别吸入20×10^-6、100×10^-6mg/L浓度NO后的影响。所得数据采用单因素方差分析进行统计学分析,多个样本均数之间的两两比较采用LSD—t检验。结果COX-2和TLR4在对照组大鼠气道内有广泛的分布和表达。脂多糖组大鼠肺水肿程度明显高于对照组,其主支气管和肺内细支气管上皮细胞内COX-2(6.5±2.8)及TLR4(44.9±11.3)表达高于对照组(分别为2.8±0.8、2.1±0.7),差异有统计学意义(t值分别为3.003、10.480,均P〈0.01)。低浓度NO组肺水肿程度明显减轻,其COX-2表达量(5.0±2.0)低于脂多糖组,但差异无统计学意义(t=1.227,P〉0.05)。而低浓度NO组TLR4(16.2±3.8)的表达量与脂多糖组(44.9±11.3)比较差异具有统计学意义(t=7.030,P〈0.001)。结论COX-2和TLR4在大鼠气道内广泛分布,脂多糖刺激可使COX-2和TLR4的表达增强,吸入适当浓度NO可降低由脂多糖引起的COX-2和TLR4表达的增高。
Objective To study the effect of nitric oxide (NO) on the expression of cyclo-oxgenase 2 (COX-2) and toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS). Methods Twenty-four Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group N: normal control group; Group L: ALI model by LPS intratracheal instillation; Group Za: ALI model + inhaled NO 20 × 10^-6 mg/L; Group Zb: ALI model + inhaled NO 100 × 10^-6 mg/L. Lung morphology was studied and COX-2 was detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC) while TLR4 by fluorescent quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR). Results Immunohistochemistry and FQ-PCR showed that COX-2(2. 8 ± 0. 8 ) and TLR4 ( 2. 1±0. 7 ) were detected in the respiratory tract of the normal control rats. In Group L, the expression of COX-2 ( 6. 5 ± 2. 8 ) and TLR4 ( 44. 9± 11.3 ) was increased in the main bronchus and bronchioles, compared to the normal controls ( t = 3. 003, 10. 480, both P 〈 0. 01 ). In Group Zb, the expression of COX-2 ( 5.0 ± 2. 0 ) and TLR4 ( 16. 2 ± 3.8 ) were decreased as compared to Group L, but only the level of TLR4 showed statistical difference ( t = 7. 030, P 〈 0. 001 ). Conclusions COX-2 and TLR4 distributed widely in the respiratory tract of the rats. LPS increased the expression of COX-2 and TLR4. Low dose of nitric oxide (20 × 10^-6 mg/L) inhalation reduced the bronchiolar expression of COX-2 and TLR4 induced by LPS.
