目的观察肾脏急性缺血再灌注损伤(ischemic reperfusion,I/R)后大鼠肾脏及血清中肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)、肾损伤分子1(kidney injury molecule-1,Kim-1)的表达变化。方法选取雄性SD大鼠96只,体质量250-300g,随机分为假手术组(Sham组,n=48),缺血再灌注组(I/R组,n=48),通过夹闭双肾动脉建立大鼠肾脏缺血再灌注模型,各组于术后2h、6h、12h、24h、48h、72h每时点随机选取8只大鼠,分别取血及肾皮质标本。全自动生化分析仪检测血清肌酐、尿素氮,酶联免疫吸附试验(enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,ELISA)检测血清TNF-α、Kim-1水平,免疫组织化学检测肾组织TNF-α、Kim-1表达。结果与Sham组血清肌酐、尿素氮水平[(50.8±6.8)μmol/L、(4.7±0.5)mmol/L]比较,I/R组均于I/R损伤后6h开始升高[血清肌酐I/R6h时为(79.6±8.8)μmol/L、尿素氮I/R6h时为(9.3±1.6)mmol/L,均P〈0.053。ELISA检测结果显示,与Sham组血清TNF-α(843.0±60.5)、Kim-1(453.7±56.4)水平比较,I/R组均于I/R2h开始升高[I/R2h时血清TNF-α为(944.2±68.3)、Kim-1为(1081.3±126.2),均P〈0.053,48h达高峰,但TNF-α于72h明显下降(3094.4±230.5),血清Kim-1水平48-72h保持高值。免疫组织化学检测显示I/R损伤后TNF-α、Kim-1主要表达于肾小管,且均在12h表达最多。结论血清TNF-α与Kim-1能较早提示急性肾脏损伤,但Kim-1优于TNF-α。
Objective To observe the expression of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), and kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) in the kidney tissues and serum of rats subjected to acute renal ischemic repel-fusion injury. Methods Ninety-six SD male rats were randomly divided into Sham group (n = 48) and ischemic/reperfusion group (I/R, n = 48). The bilateral arteries were blocked to make the IR models. Eight rats from the two groups were randomly selected 2, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 h after the surgery, and the blood and renal cortex collected. Serum nitrogen and creatinine were evaluated by biochemical autoanalyzer. The concentrations of TNF-α and Kim-1 were measured by ELISA. The TNF-α and Kim-1 expression in kidney tissues was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results As compared with Sham group, the BUN and SCr began to increase in I/R group at 6 h after I-R (for BUN, 50. 8 ± 6. 8 vs. 79. 6 ± 8. 8 μmol/L, and for SCr, (4. 7 ± 0. 5) vs. (9. 3 ± 1.6) mmol/L, P〈 0. 05 for both). ELISA revealed that the serum TNF-α and Kim-1 were increased at 2 h after I/R in I/ R group as compared with Sham group (for TNF-α, 944. 2 ± 68. 3 vs. 843.0 ± 60. 5; for Kim-1, 1081.3 ± 126. 2 vs. 453. 7 ± 56. 4, P〈0. 05 for both), which reached a peak at 48 h after reperfusion, but TNF-α was decreased obviously after 72 h (3 094. 4 ± 230. 5), and Kim-1 was kept the highest level from 48 to 72 h. Immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α and Kim-1 were mainly expressed on the tubular area and increased significantly at 12 h after I/R. Conclusions Serum TNF-α and Kim-1 might be appropriate biological markers of acute kidney injury, and Kim-1 might be better.
