To study the expression of neurokinin-1 receptor (NK-1R) and neurokinin-2 receptor (NK-2R) in distal ileum of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and to evaluate the relationship between expression of these two receptors and intestinal mucosal damage.
A total of 130 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into two groups: the rats in ANP group (n=80) were induced by the retrograde intraductal infusion of 30 g.L(-1) sodium taurocholate. And the rats in normal control group (n=50) received laparotomy only. Sacrifices were made 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h later in ANP and normal control group after induction respectively. Intestinal mucosal permeability was studied by intrajejunal injection of 1.5 mCi radioactive isotope (99m)Tc-diethlene triamine pentacetic acid (DTPA) and the radioactivity of (99m)Tc-DTPA content in urine was measured 6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after induction. Then the pancreas and intestine were prepared for pathology. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to determine the mRNA expression of NK-1R and NK-2R, and Western blot was used to investigate the protein level of NK-1R and NK-2R.
In ANP rats, serious histologic damages in intestinal mucosa were observed, and the radioactivity of (99m)Tc-DTPA in urine increased significantly in the ANP group. RT-PCR revealed that NK-1R and NK-2R mRNA level was overexpressed in the distal ileum of ANP as compared with the normal control group. Western blot discovered stronger NK-1R (14-fold increase) and NK-2R (9-fold increase) immunoreactivity in the intestinal mucosa of ANP rats. Moreover, the overexpression of NK-1R was associated with mucosal pathological score (r=0.77, P<0.01) and intestinal permeability (r=0.68, P<0.01) in ANP rats.
NK-1R and NK-2R contribute to disrupted neuropeptides loop balance, deteriorate intestinal damage, and are involved in pathophysiological changes in ANP.
研究神经激肽-1受体(NK-1R)和神经激肽-2受体(NK-2R)在急性坏死性胰腺炎(ANP)大鼠回肠末端的表达,探讨二者表达与肠黏膜损伤的关系。
将130只成年Sprague-Dawley大鼠随机分为两组:ANP组(n=80)采用逆行胰胆管内注射30 g.L(-1)牛磺胆酸钠诱导ANP模型;正常对照组(n=50)仅行剖腹术。分别于诱导后6 h、12 h、24 h和48 h处死ANP组和正常对照组大鼠。经空肠注射1.5 mCi放射性核素(99m)Tc-二乙三胺五乙酸(DTPA),测定诱导后6 h、12 h、24 h和48 h尿中(99m)Tc-DTPA含量,以研究肠黏膜通透性。然后取胰腺和肠组织进行病理检查。采用逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)检测NK-1R和NK-2R的mRNA表达,采用蛋白质印迹法检测NK-1R和NK-2R的蛋白水平。
ANP大鼠肠黏膜出现严重组织学损伤,ANP组尿中(99m)Tc-DTPA放射性显著增加。RT-PCR显示,与正常对照组相比,ANP大鼠回肠末端NK-1R和NK-2R的mRNA水平过度表达。蛋白质印迹法发现,ANP大鼠肠黏膜中NK-1R(增加14倍)和NK-2R(增加9倍)免疫反应性更强。此外,ANP大鼠中NK-1R的过度表达与黏膜病理评分(r=0.77,P<0.01)和肠通透性(r=0.68,P<0.01)相关。
NK-1R和NK-2R导致神经肽环路平衡破坏,加重肠损伤,参与ANP的病理生理变化。
