烫伤大鼠心肌细胞丝裂素活化蛋白激酶的活化及胞内分布规律的研究

目的　观察大鼠严重烫伤后早期心肌细胞中丝裂素活化蛋白激酶 MAPKs,包括 p38激酶、细胞外信号调节激酶 (ERKs)和应激活化蛋白激酶 (JNK) ]的活化及胞内分布规律 ,探讨其与心肌损伤的关系。　方法　制作严重烫伤大鼠模型 ,于伤后 1、3、6、12、2 4h取其全血及心肌组织标本 ,并取正常大鼠的相应标本为对照。常规检测各血清标本中肌酸激酶同工酶 MB(CK MB)的活力 ;采用Western印迹法 ,检测各心肌组织标本中MAPKs各成员的活化情况 ,并对其组织切片行免疫组化染色。　结果　伤后 p38激酶、ERK均发生活化并伴核转位 ,以 1、3、6h最明显 (P <0 .0 1) ;伤后 1～ 2 4hJNK均未见活化。血清CK MB含量于伤后 3h升高 ,12h达高峰 (P <0 .0 5～ 0 .0 1)。　结论　p38激酶和ERK信号通路可能在严重烧伤后早期心肌细胞发生的损伤性反应中起重要作用 ,而前者可能是烧伤引发心肌损伤的主要信号转导通路之一。

An experimental study of the intracellular distribution and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases in myocardial cells in scalded rats

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the intracellular distribution and the activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) in myocardial cells in scalded rats. METHODS: Wistar rats were used in this study and forty of them were inflicted with 40% III degree scald on the back and eight normal ones as control. The samples of plasma and myocardial tissue were harvested at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 24 postburn hours (PBHs), and samples were also obtained from normal rats as control. The plasma CK-MB activity was determined by routine method. The activation states of all the members of MAPKs p38 kinase, ERKs (extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases) and JNK (c-Jun N-terminal kinase)] in the myocardial tissue samples were detected by Western blotting. The tissue slides were stained by immunohistochemistry methods. RESULTS: Activation of p38 kinase and ERK with nuclear translocation was found postburn, especially during 1, 3 and 6 PBHs (P < 0.01). But there was no activation of JNK during 1 - 24 PBHs. The plasma CK-MB content increased at 3 PBH and reached summit at 12 PBHs (P < 0.05 - 0.01). CONCLUSION: p38 kinase and ERK signal pathways might play important roles in the early postburn injury of myocardial cells, inducing myocardial injury.
