间断性低氧暴露对红细胞参数及血清HIF-1α、EPO的影响

目的:探讨间断性低氧暴露及复氧休息对红细胞参数及血清低氧诱导因子-1α(HIF-1α)、促红细胞生成素(EPO)的影响.方法:制备间断性低氧动物模型,检测全血RBC、Hb、HCT红细胞参数,采用ELISA法检测血清HIF-1α、EPO水平,结合现场调查,检测间断性高原作业人员红细胞参数及EPO水平.结果:IH7、14、21、28 d组大鼠RBC、Hb、HCT水平明显高于常氧对照组(P<0.05),复氧后各参数水平下降.IH3、7、14 d组HIF-1α高于常氧对照组(P<0.05),EPO在IH3、7 d组高于对照组(P<0.05),复氧后HIF-1α、EPO水平下降.8个月组高原作业人员RBC水平高于平原对照组(P<0.05),Hb在2年组高于平原对照组(P<0.05).HCT与RBC大致呈同一规律,且2年组HCT仍明显高于平原对照组(P<0.05).与平原对照组比较,各组EPO的差异不显著.结论:间断性低氧暴露可以增加血清HIF-1α、EPO的含量,提高红细胞数量和血红蛋白的浓度,并随低氧周期的延长存在一定变化规律;复氧休息有利于低氧后机体的调整,使升高的红细胞参数及HIF-1、EPO水平下降.

Effects of intermittent hypoxic exposure on the parameter of erythrocyte and serum hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha and erythropoietin levels

AIM: To investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxic exposure and normoxic convalescence on the parameter of erythrocyte and serum hypoxia inducible factor1 alpha (HIF-1α) and erythropoietin (EPO)levels. METHODS: Rat models of intermittent hypoxic exposure were established, combined with the clinical research on volunteers experiencing the intermittent plateau work. Blood samples for red blood cell (RBC) counts, hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) were collected, serum HIF-1α and EPO levels were measured using enzymelinked immunosorbentassy. RESULTS: RBC counts, Hb concentration and HCT were significantly higher than the normoxic group (P < 0.05), after exposure of rats to hypoxia from 7 to 28 days. Compared with the normoxic group, serum HIF-1α levels were higher in the group of IH3, 7, 14 days, and EPO had a corresponding increase in the group of IH3, 7 days. Then, a decrease was observed in parameter of erythrocyte and serum HIF-1α and EPO levels after 14 days normoxic convalescence treat. In volunteers studies, RBC counts in 8 monthes group and Hb concentration in 2 years group were significantly higher than the plain group (P < 0.05). The change of HCT was nearly the same as RBC, and HCT in 2 years group was higher than the plain group (P < 0.05). Compared with the plain group, EPO had no significant differences in any of plateau group. CONCLUSION: Intermittent hypoxic exposure can enhance serum hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha and erythropoietin levels and the generation of red blood cells, which leads to an increase in hemoglobincon concentration and hematocrit. The results have changed with the hypoxic exposure period prolonged. Normoxic convalescence after intermittent hypoxic exposure can make the related indexes reduced, and contribute to the organism recovery.
