To study the effect of mucosal toleration to E-selectin on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and associated mechanisms.
Rats were exposed to intranasal administration of E-selectin or PBS every other day for 10 days (single-tolerization group) or on two tolerization schedules separated by 11 days (booster-tolerization group). Control group received middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) only. MCAO was performed 48 h after the last dose of E-selectin or PBS. After 2 h ischemia and 22 h reperfusion, the rats were killed. We examined the regional cerebral blood flow, neurological testing, frequencies of CD4+ T and CD8+ T lymphocytes in blood, plasma SOD activity, infarct volumes, and mRNA expressions of IL-10, TGF-beta(1), E-selectin, ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in the ischemic brain tissues.
There were 30.25% (P<0.05) decreases of infarction volumes in the E-selectin booster group accompanied by decreased neurological deficit scores compared with PBS group. Compared with PBS-treated rats, CD8-positive cells were significantly decreased (27.4%, P<0.05), CD4-positive cells tended to increase (P>0.05), SOD activity was obviously increased (P<0.05), mRNA levels of IL-10 were markedly increased (21.0%, P<0.05) and TGF-beta(1) showed an upward trend (6.2%, P>0.05), mRNA levels of E-selectin were prominently decreased (28.7%, P<0.01) and ICAM-1 and LFA-1 had downward trends (P>0.05) in E-selectin booster animals.
Mucosal tolerance to E-selectin after booster tolerization could relieve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and induce ischemia tolerance in Wistar rats. The mechanisms may involve decreased frequencies of CD8+ T cells in blood, increased plasma SOD activity, heightened mRNA expression of IL-10 and lowered mRNA expression of E-selectin in the ischemic hemisphere.
研究对E选择素的黏膜耐受对大鼠脑缺血再灌注损伤的影响及其相关机制。
大鼠每隔一天经鼻给予E选择素或磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS),共10天(单次耐受组),或按两个耐受方案给药,间隔11天(加强耐受组)。对照组仅进行大脑中动脉闭塞(MCAO)。在最后一剂E选择素或PBS给药48小时后进行MCAO。缺血2小时和再灌注22小时后,处死大鼠。我们检测了局部脑血流量、神经功能测试、血液中CD4⁺T和CD8⁺T淋巴细胞频率、血浆超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)活性、梗死体积以及缺血脑组织中白细胞介素10(IL-10)、转化生长因子β1(TGF-β1)、E选择素、细胞间黏附分子1(ICAM-1)和淋巴细胞功能相关抗原1(LFA-1)的mRNA表达。
与PBS组相比,E选择素加强组梗死体积减少30.25%(P<0.05),神经功能缺损评分降低。与PBS处理的大鼠相比,E选择素加强组动物血液中CD8阳性细胞显著减少(27.4%,P<0.05),CD4阳性细胞有增加趋势(P>0.05),SOD活性明显增加(P<0.05),IL-10的mRNA水平显著升高(21.0%,P<0.05),TGF-β1呈上升趋势(6.2%,P>0.05),E选择素的mRNA水平显著降低(28.7%,P<0.01),ICAM-1和LFA-1呈下降趋势(P>0.05)。
加强耐受后对E选择素的黏膜耐受可减轻Wistar大鼠的脑缺血再灌注损伤并诱导缺血耐受。其机制可能涉及血液中CD8⁺T细胞频率降低、血浆SOD活性增加、缺血半球中IL-10的mRNA表达升高以及E选择素的mRNA表达降低。
