Heat shock proteins (HSPs), induced by thermal stress, make the cells more resistant to following stress. We aimed to verify if rats heating reduces the production of TNF-alpha in a model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
We divided 34 Wistar rats in Group A and Group B. The rats of Group A received thermal shock and tracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), the rats of Group B only tracheal instillation of LPS. All the rats have been then subdivided in 6 subgroups sacrificed at different times after instillation of LPS: A30 and B30 at 30 min, A90 and B90 at 90 min and A180 and B180 at 180 min. We dosed the serum concentration of TNF-alpha and the values of every subgroup have been compared with the Student t-test.
The serum concentration of TNF-alpha in the subgroup A90 resulted significantly lower than in the subgroup B90.
The exposure to thermal stress resulting in the production of HSPs reduced the concentration of TNF-alpha in this model of ARDS.
热应激诱导产生的热休克蛋白(HSPs)可使细胞对后续应激更具抵抗力。我们旨在验证在急性呼吸窘迫综合征(ARDS)模型中,对大鼠进行加热是否会降低肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)的产生。
我们将34只Wistar大鼠分为A组和B组。A组大鼠接受热休克并气管内滴注脂多糖(LPS),B组大鼠仅气管内滴注LPS。然后,所有大鼠在滴注LPS后的不同时间被分为6个亚组并处死:滴注后30分钟的A30和B30、90分钟的A90和B90以及180分钟的A180和B180。我们测定了TNF-α的血清浓度,并使用学生t检验比较了每个亚组的值。
A90亚组的TNF-α血清浓度显著低于B90亚组。
在该ARDS模型中,热应激导致HSPs产生,从而降低了TNF-α的浓度。
