完全脾切除增加了小鼠胰岛对STZ的敏感性

目的: 探讨脾脏对链脲菌素(STZ)损伤胰岛β细胞是否具有保护作用。方法: 以外科手术切除小鼠全脾。60只脾切除小鼠随机分为3组,分别以80 mg/kg、160 mg/kg STZ给小鼠腹腔注射,另一组腹腔注射生理盐水。60只正常小鼠做同样分组及处理。1周后,测定各组小鼠空腹血糖、血清胰岛素水平,免疫组化分析各组胰岛β细胞总量,ELISA法分析胰岛细胞凋亡,Luminol化学发光法测定各组胰腺活性氧簇(ROS)水平。结果: 80 mg/kg STZ处理脾切除组空腹血糖浓度显著升高,血清胰岛素显著降低;同剂量STZ处理的正常小鼠血糖及胰岛素水平则正常;此外, 80 mg/kg STZ处理的脾切除小鼠β细胞总量、胰岛凋亡细胞核小体聚集值及胰腺组织ROS的产生与同剂量STZ处理的正常小鼠相比均有显著差异。结论: 脾可以阻止低剂量STZ对正常小鼠胰岛β细胞的破坏作用。完全脾切除增加了胰岛对STZ的敏感性,这一作用与胰腺组织ROS增加相关。

Splenectomy enhances sensitivity of islets to STZ in mice

AIM:To explore the protective role of spleen in damage of islet beta cells induced by streptozotocin(STZ).METHODS: Splenectomy in mice was performed by surgery.Sixty splenectomy mice were divided into 3 groups as the mice were intraperitoneally injected with STZ at doses of 80 mg/kg or 160 mg/kg,and saline,respectively.Sixty normal mice(without splenectomy) were also grouped and treated as above for controls.One week later,fasting blood glucose and serum insulin were monitored,and beta cell mass and the apo...
