异丙酚对急性肺栓塞大鼠肺细胞凋亡的影响

目的 评价异丙酚对急性肺栓塞大鼠肺细胞凋亡的影响.方法 健康雄性SD大鼠40只,体重280～300 g,随机分为5组(n=8):假手术组(S组)、急性肺栓塞组(APTE组)、异丙酚4 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 组(P1组)、异丙酚8 mg·kg-1 ·h- 1组(P2组)和异丙酚16 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 组(P3组).取尾静脉血样0.2 ml,37℃水浴箱内过夜,分割成直径1 mm ,长5 mm的栓子,颈静脉注射混有15个栓子的2 ml生理盐水制备大鼠肺栓塞模型.S组静脉输注生理盐水2 ml/h 4 h;APTE组、P1组、P2组和P3组制备肺栓塞模型,然后APTE组静脉输注5%葡萄糖2 ml/h4 h,P1 组、P2组和P3组分别静脉输注异丙酚4、8、16 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 (用5%葡萄糖稀释至2 m1)4 h.给药结束后,处死大鼠,取肺组织,采用流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡情况,计算细胞凋亡率,采用RT-PCR法检测caspase-3、Bcl-2、Box、Fas和FasL的mRNA表达水平,采用Western blot法检测caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax、Fas和FasL的蛋白表达水平,计算Bcl-2/Bax的mRNA和蛋白表达比值.结果 与S组比较,AVIE组、P1组、P2组和P3 组肺组织细胞凋亡率升高,caspase-3、Bax、Fas、FasL的mRNA和蛋白表达上调,Bcl-2的mRNA和蛋白表达下调,Bcl-2/Bax的mRNA和蛋白表达比值降低(P＜0.05或0.01);与APTE组比较,P1组、P2组和P3 组肺组织细胞凋亡率降低,caspase-3、Bax、Fas、FasL的mRNA和蛋白表达下调,Bcl-2的mRNA和蛋白表达上调,Bcl-2/Bax的mRNA和蛋白表达比值升高(P＜0.05或0.01);P.组、P2组和P3组间肺组织细胞凋亡率、caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax、Fas、 FasL的mRNA和蛋白表达、Bcl-2/Bax的mRNA和蛋白表达比值差异无统计学意义(P＞0.05).结论 异丙酚可抑制急性肺栓塞大鼠肺细胞凋亡,其机制与下调肺组织caspase-3、Fas和FasL的表达,调节Bcl-2/Bax的平衡有关.

Effect of propofol on lung cell apoptosis induced by acute pulmonary thromboembolism in rats

Objective To evaluate the effect of propofol on lung cell apoptosis induced by acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APTE) .Methods Forty male SD rats weighing 280-300 g were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) : group Ⅰ sham operation ( group S) ; group ⅡAPTE and 3 propofol groups ( group P1-3). APTE was produced by iv injection of auto-blood clots. Venous blood 0.2 ml was obtained from rat tail vein and placed in a sterile test tube which was kept in water bath at 37 ℃ overnight. The blood clot was cut into thrombi ( diameter 1 mm, length 5 mm) the next day. Fifteen thrombi in 2 ml of normal saline were injected into immediately after iv injection of auto-bloed clots. The animals were killed at the end of 4 h propofol infusion and lung specimens were obtained for determination of lung cell apoptosis rate by flow eytometry and expression of caspase-3, Bax, Bcl-2, Fas, FasL mRNA and protein by RT-PCR and Western blot.The expression of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA and protein was calculated. Results Compared with group S,APTE significantly increased the lung cell apoptosis rate, and expression of caspase-3, Bax, Fas, FasL and decreased the expression of Bcl-2 and Bcl-2/Bax. Propofol infusion significantly attenuated these APTE-induced changes. Conclusion Propofol can inhibit APTE-induced lung cell apoptosis by down-regulating the caspase-3, Fas and FasL expression and regulating the balance between Bcl-2 and Bax expression.
