摘要
目的:探讨N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)联合阿奇霉素(AZI)对慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)模型大鼠氧化应激的影响。方法:将60只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分为5组,即正常对照(control)组、模型(model)组、AZI治疗组、NAC治疗组和联合治疗组(AZI+NAC组)。采用烟熏联合气管内滴入脂多糖的方法诱导大鼠COPD模型。NAC组和AZI组大鼠每日烟熏前30 min分别给予NAC和AZI灌胃,AZI+NAC组则给予NAC和AZI联合灌胃。第31天行肺功能检测后处死大鼠,提取支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)进行细胞计数,并采用ELISA法测定BALF中白细胞介素-8(IL-8)、白细胞介素-17(IL-17)和肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的含量。制作肺组织切片及肺匀浆,测定肺匀浆超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)和丙二醛(MDA)水平。结果:与control组对比,其余4组均出现肺功能的下降,组织病理提示炎症细胞浸润、肺泡破坏等表现。与control组比较,其余4组BALF中白细胞总数、单核巨噬细胞、中性粒细胞和淋巴细胞均显著增高(P<0.05);与model组、AZI组、NAC组比较,AZI+NAC组BALF中白细胞总数、中性粒细胞和淋巴细胞均显著下降(P<0.05)。与model组对比,AZI组、NAC组和AZI+NAC组IL-8、IL-17、TNF-α和MDA含量均显著降低(P<0.05),SOD和GSH-Px活性均显著增高(P<0.05);与AZI组和NAC组比较,AZI+NAC组IL-8、IL-17、TNF-α和MDA含量均下降,SOD和GSH-Px活性均增高,差异有统计学显著性(P<0.01)。结论:NAC和AZI均能减轻COPD模型大鼠肺部炎症和氧化损伤,两者联合能增强抗氧化作用,可能更适合COPD的临床治疗。
AIM: To investigate the effects of N-acetylcysteine( NAC) combined with azithromycin( AZI) on oxidative stress in the rats with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease( COPD). METHODS: Male Wistar rats( n = 60)were randomly divided into control group,model group,AZI intervention group,NAC intervention group and AZI + NAC group. The COPD model was established by passive smoking and intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide. Each day30 min prior to smoking,intragastric administration with AZI,NAC or combination of the 2 drugs was given for AZI,NAC,and AZI + NAC groups,respectively. On the 31 st day,all rats were killed following lung function test. Cell counts of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid( BALF) were performed,and the contents of interleukin-8( IL-8),interleukin-17( IL-17) and tumor necrosis factor alpha( TNF-α) in BALF were measured by ELISA. The histopathology of the lung tissues was observed under light microscope,and the levels of superoxide dismutase( SOD),glutathione peroxidase( GSH-Px) and malondialdehyde( MDA) in the lung homogenate were measured. RESULTS: Compared with control group,the other 4groups showed decreased pulmonary function,and inflammatory cell infiltration and alveolar destruction in histopathology.Compared with control group,the other groups showed higher white blood cells,monocyte-macrophages,neutrophils and lymphocytes in the BALF( P〈0. 05). Compared with model group,AZI group and NAC group,lower white blood cells,neutrophils and lymphocytes in the BALF were observed in AZI + NAC group( P〈0. 05). Compared with model group,IL-8,IL-17,TNF-α and MDA in AZI group,NAC group and AZI + NAC group significantly decreased( P〈0. 05),while SOD and GSH-Px significantly increased( P〈0. 05). Compared with AZI or NAC group,IL-8,IL-17,TNF-α and MDA in AZI + NAC group significantly decreased( P〈0. 05),while SOD and GSH-Px increased significantly( P〈0. 05).CONCLUSION: Both NAC and AZI attenuate the lung inflammation and oxidative damage in COPD model rats. Combined medication exerts preferable anti-oxidation effects,which might be more suitable for the treatment of COPD.
