高压氧对大鼠急性脊髓损伤炎症因子表达的影响

目的 观察大鼠脊髓损伤(spinal cord injury,SCI)后早期高压氧(HBO)治疗对肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-10(IL-10)mRNA表达的影响.方法 将36只SD大鼠随机分为2组:SCI组(18只)和HBO组(18只).2组均采用改良的Allen打击法建造大鼠脊髓损伤模型.模型建造成功后,HBO组于损伤2 h后开始行HBO治疗,1次/d.2组分别于损伤后6、12、24、72、120、168 h各取3只大鼠,取损伤部位脊髓组织采用逆转录-聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)法测定其中TNF-α、IL-10 mRNA表达的变化.结果 SCI组大鼠脊髓组织中TNF-α mRNA表达逐渐升高,在伤后12h表达明显上调,至24h达高峰,高表达持续至损伤后72 h;HBO组大鼠脊髓组织中TNF-α mRNA表达变化趋势与SCI组一致,但升高幅度降低(P＜0.05);SCI组大鼠IL-10 mRNA表达在损伤后12 h开始升高,并随时间的推移逐渐升高,至168 h达高峰;HBO组表达变化趋势较一致,IL-10 mRNA升高幅度更明显(P＜0.05).结论 HBO能够减少前炎性细胞因子的释放,增加抗炎性细胞因子的表达,从而减少脊髓组织的继发损伤,保护受损的神经细胞,达到促进恢复的作用.

Abstract：

Objective To investigate the effects of early HBO therapy on the expressions of pro inflammatory cytokine mRNA including tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α ) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) following spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats. Methods Forty SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:the sham operation group (n=4) , the SCI group (n = 18) , and the hyperbaric oxygen group (n = 18). Spinal cord injury model was developed by using the modified Allen impact. Then, the SCI group and the HBO group received HBO therapy 2 hours after injury, once a day. And 3 rats were randomly selected at 6, 12, 24, 72, 120 and 168 h following injury to take samples of injured spinal cord tissue and measure dynamic changes in the expressions of TNF-α, IL-10 mRNA by semi-quantitative RT-PCR method. Results Faint expression of the cytokine mRNA could be noticed in the sham group. The expression of TNF-α mRNA in the injured spinal cord tissue in the SCI group elevated gradually, increased obviously at 12 h after injury and reached peak at 24 h, and its high expression maintained till 72 h after injury. The tendency in the expression of TNF-α mRNA in the HBO group was identical to that of the SCI group, however, the amplitude in the increase of TNF-α mRNA decreased (P＜0. 05). The expression of IL-10 mRNA in the SCI group began to increase at 12 h after injury and increased gradually over time and reached peak at 168 h. The expressions of both TNF-α and IL-10 mRNA were more consistent in the HBO group, with more obvious increase in the expressions of IL-10 mRNA. Conclusions HBO could reduce the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines and increase the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokines,resulting in reduction of secondary spinal cord injury,protection of the damaged nerve cells and promotion of recovery.
