目的 探索重组血栓调节蛋白N端结构域(rTM-N)和可溶性晚期糖化终末产物受体(rsRAGE)对急性肝衰竭模型小鼠的保护作用. 方法 原核表达、纯化得到rTM-N和rsRAGE,腹腔注射rTM-N或rsRAGE至急性肝衰竭模型小鼠,用不同方法检测肝组织高迁移族蛋白(HMG) B1及核因子-κ B的表达水平、血清中肿瘤坏死因子α和白细胞介素1 β的含量.对数据进行单因素方差分析. 结果 成功表达并纯化rTM-N和rsRAGE,相对分子质量约为1600和31600.各实验组小鼠肝组织坏死情况明显好转,免疫组织化学检测显示,HMGB1表达水平在实验1组和实验2组明显低于对照组;免疫荧光检测核因子-κB的表达水平,在实验1组和实验2组也明显低于对照组.RT-PCR检测HMGB1 mRNA显示,实验1组峰值(114.99±6.53)和实验2组峰值(98.44±13.69)明显低于对照组峰值(199.30±11.51),差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).血清肿瘤坏死因子α在实验1组12h的峰值为(355.42±53.55)pg/ml、实验2组12h的峰值为(451.15±79.66)pg/ml,也显著低于对照组6h的峰值(634.23±35.18)pg/ml,差异有统计学意义(F=109.31,P<0.05).血清白细胞介素1 β在实验l组的峰值(457.32±34.99) pg/ml和实验2组的峰值(530.66±38.83)pg/ml显著低于对照组在6h达到的峰值(688.91±48.27) pg/ml,差异有统计学意义(F=65.48,P<0.05).结论 rsRAGE和rTM-N均可显著减少急性肝衰竭模型小鼠肝组织HMGB1的表达水平,显示对急性肝衰竭鼠较强的保护作用.
Objective To evaluate the roles of N-terminal lectin-like domain of thrombomodulin (TM-N) and receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) in acute hepatic failure using a mouse model system.Methods Acute hepatic failure was induced in Kunming mice by intraperitonenl injection of D-galactosamine (D-Galn at 600 mg/kg) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS at 5 μg/kg) and mice were divided into groups for injection with saline,recombinant (r)TM-N protein,or recombinant soluble (rs)RAGE protein.Unmanipulated model mice served as the negative controls.Effects on liver expression of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) were detected by immunohistochemistry and real time RT-PCR.Effects on serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNFα) and interleukin-1 beta (IL)-1b were quantified by ELISA.Results Treatment with rTM-N and rsRAGE both alleviated the acute liver damage induced by D-Galn/LPS exposure,and decreased the hepatic expression of HMGB1 as well as the serum levels of TNFα and IL-1b.Conclusion Intraperitoneal delivery of rTM-N and rsRAGE can alleviate acute liver damage by modulating the expression of necrosis-and inflammatión-related factors.
