谷氨酰胺对大鼠肠缺血再灌注损伤后闭合蛋白的保护作用

目的:探讨谷氨酰胺(Gln)对大鼠肠缺血再灌注损伤后闭合蛋白(occludin)的保护作用及其可能机制。方法:成年雄性Wistar大鼠30只随机分为假手术组(sham组)、缺血再灌注损伤组(I/R组)和谷氨酰胺预处理组(Gln组)。Gln组给予谷氨酰胺1 g·kg-1·d-1连续灌胃7 d。Sham组和I/R组以同等剂量生理盐水灌胃7d。Sham组仅分离肠系膜上动脉而根部不夹闭。I/R组和Gln组均用无损伤血管夹夹闭SMA根部30 min后放松血管夹形成再灌注损伤模型。各组大鼠均于制模后24 h采集静脉血和回肠标本。酶联免疫吸附试验检测血清中肿瘤坏死因子(TNF)-α、白细胞介素(IL)-10和IL-2水平。全自动生化仪检测超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、丙二醛(MDA)、谷胱甘肽(GSH)和谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)水平。免疫组化及Western blotting法检测occludin蛋白的表达情况。结果:I/R组occludin蛋白表达明显低于正常对照组及谷氨酰胺处理组(P0.05);I/R组TNF-α和MDA水平均高于sham组和Gln组(P0.05)。I/R组血清的SOD活力、GSH、GSH-Px、IL-10和IL-2均低于sham组和Gln组(P0.05)。结论:谷氨酰胺对肠缺血再灌注损伤后的occludin蛋白具有保护作用,其机制可能与抑制炎症反应、抗氧化应激有关。

Protective effects of glutamine pretreatment on occludin protein in rats with intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury

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.
