目的:探讨半乳糖凝集素-9(Gal-9)与炎症性结肠炎(IBP)的关系。方法:60只雄性Balb/c小鼠分为4组,每组15只。对照组:自由饮食。三硝基苯磺酸钠(TNBS)组:实验第1、8、15天分别用2.0、2.5和3.0 mg TNBS加体积分数50%的乙醇溶液100μL灌肠,建立小鼠结肠炎模型。TNBS+鞭毛蛋白(CBir1)组:同上造模,并于实验第7、9、12、15天小鼠腹腔注射100μg/L的CBir1 100μL。TNBS+白细胞介素-17(IL-17)组:造模后,小鼠腹腔注射IL-17 500 ng,每周2次。第22天处死小鼠,ELISA方法检测外周血Gal-9含量,免疫组化法检测结肠上皮组织中Gal-9蛋白的表达。结果:各组小鼠血清和结肠上皮组织中Gal-9的表达差异有统计学意义(F/χ2=22.669和25.179,P均〈0.001),TNBS组低于对照组,TNBS+CBir1组和TNBS+IL-17组低于TNBS组(P均〈0.001)。结论:Gal-9可用来评估结肠炎的严重程度。
Aim: To explore the pathogenic role of galectin-9( Gal-9) in colitis.Methods: Sixty male Balb / c mice were randomly divided into four groups.Control group: mice were given an unrestricted diet.TNBS group: mice were respectively instilled by 2.0,2.5,and 3.0 mg TNBS dissolved in 100 μL 50% ethanol enema on the 1st,8th and 15 th day of the experiment,by which TNBS-induced colitis models were established.TNBS + CBir1 groups: based on TNBS administration,CBir1 10 μg was dissolved in 100 μL saline,and each mouse was treated with an intraperitoneal injection of 100 μL of this solution during days 7,9,12,and 15.TNBS + IL-17 group: based on TNBS administration,each mouse was intraperitoneally injected with IL-17 twice a week.Then the mice were sacrificed on the 22 nd day.The Gal-9 in peripheral blood and colonic epithelial tissue were detected by ELISA and immunohistochemistry respectively.Results: The level of Gal-9 in peripheral blood and colonic epithelial tissue was significantly different among the 4 groups( F / χ2= 22.669,25.179,P〈 0.001),which was lower in the TNBS group than those in the control group,and lower in TNBS + CBir1 and TNBS + IL-17 groups than that in the TNBS group.Conclusion: The expression level of Gal-9 could be used to assess the severity of colitis.
