目的 观察碘对牛甲状腺球蛋白(bTg)诱导的实验性自身免疫性甲状腺炎(EAT)大鼠血清趋化因子IP-10及甲状腺组织IP-10 mRNA表达的影响.方法 选择4周龄雌性Lewis大鼠135只,采用随机数字表法按体质量分为对照组(NC,20只)、模型组(TG,25只)、高碘Ⅰ组(HⅠ,20只)、高碘模型Ⅰ组(HⅠ +TG,25只)、高碘Ⅱ组(HⅡ,20只)和高碘模型Ⅱ组(HⅡ+ TG,25只).HⅠ、HⅠ +TG组大鼠饮用含碘25.7 μg/L的去离子水,HⅡ、HⅡ+ TG组大鼠饮用含碘423.3 μg/L的去离子水,NC、rG组饮用蒸馏水.TG、HⅠ +TG和HⅡ+TG组大鼠皮下注射含8g/L bTg的不完全弗氏佐剂0.1 ml,每2周1次,共3次.15周末处死动物,采用砷-铈催化分光光度法(WS/T 107-2006)测定大鼠尿碘,光镜下观察甲状腺组织病理学改变,酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测大鼠血清IP-10含量,实时荧光定量PCR法检测甲状腺IP-10 mRNA表达.结果 各组大鼠尿碘中位数比较差异有统计学意义(x2=106.4,P<0.05).其中TG、HⅠ、HⅠ +TG、HⅡ、HⅡ +TG组大鼠尿碘中位数(800.08、18 633.20、13 869.08、87 889.97、61 661.51 μg/L)均高于NC组(456.45 μg/L,P均<0.05).各组大鼠病理改变等级随着碘摄入的提高逐渐加重,其中NC组大鼠甲状腺结构正常;TG组大鼠甲状腺滤泡间少量淋巴细胞浸润;HⅠ组大鼠甲状腺滤泡排列不整齐、部分滤泡组织破坏;HⅡ组大鼠甲状腺滤泡间大量炎性细胞浸润;HⅡ+ TG组大鼠甲状腺滤泡严重破坏、炎细胞弥漫性浸润.6组大鼠血清IP-10含量比较,差异无统计学意义(F=1.462,P> 0.05).HⅠ +TG组大鼠甲状腺IP-10 mRNA表达(2.80±1.73)高于NC组(1.65±1.62)和HⅠ组(1.07±1.00),HⅡ(0.64±0.64)、HⅡ +TG组(0.80±0.49)低于HⅠ +TG组(P均<0.05).结论 过量碘摄入可增加EAT大鼠甲状腺组织中炎性程度,加重病理改变;这可能与过量碘影响甲状腺IP-10 mRNA表达有?
Objective To establish experimental autoimmune thyroiditis (EAT) rat model induced by bovine thyroglobulin (bTg) and to observe the effect of iodine on IP-10 in rat serum and IP-10 mRNA expression in rat thyroid tissue.Methods One hundred and thirty-five four-week old female Lewis rats were divided into normal control (NC,20 rats) group;TG group,25 rats;H Ⅰ group,20 rats;H Ⅰ + TG group,25 rats;H Ⅱ group,20 rats and H Ⅱ + TG group,25 rats according to a random number table.The water iodine concentration was 25.7 μg/L given to rats of HⅠ and H I + TG groups,and 423.3 μg/L of H Ⅱ and H Ⅱ + TG groups.Rats of NC and TG groups drank distilled water.Rats of TG,H Ⅰ + TG,H Ⅱ + TG groups were immunized with 0.1 ml bTg (8 g/L) in IFA.All rats were killed at the end of 15 weeks.Urinary iodine was determined by As3+-Ce4+ catalytic spectrophotometry (WS/T 107-2006).Pathological changes in thyroid tissue were observed by light microscope.Serum IP-10 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and IP-10 mRNA expression in thyroid was detected by real-time PCR.Results The differences of urinary iodine between groups were statistically significant (x2 =106.4,P 〈 0.05).Compared with NC group (456.45 μg/L) urinary iodine in other groups increased significantly (TG,H Ⅰ,H Ⅰ + TG,HⅡ,HⅡ + TG:800.08,18 633.20,13 869.08,87 889.97,61 661.51 μg/L,all P 〈 0.05).The pathological changes of rats in each group aggravated following increased iodine intake,NC group had normal thyroid structure;thyroid of TG group had a small amount of lymphocytes;thyroid of H Ⅰ group showed irregular follicular,part of the follicular was destroyed;a large number of lymphocytes infiltrated between follicular of H Ⅱ group;in H Ⅱ + TG group,the follicular was destroyed severely,diffuse inflammatory cell infiltration.The difference of serum IP-10 between groups no were statistically significant (F =1.462,P 〉 0.05).The expression of IP-10 mRNA of H
