To characterize the inductive effects of isoflurane (ISO) on hepatic heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in an animal model of hepatic steatosis.
Lean (LEAN) and obese (FAT) Zucker rats were randomized into 4 groups: 1: LEAN + pentobarbital sodium (PEN); 2: LEAN + ISO; 3: FAT + PEN; 4: FAT + ISO. The animals were mechanically ventilated for 6 h. In vitro analyses of liver tissue included determination of HO-1 mRNA and protein expression as well as measurement of HO enzyme activity and immunohistochemical analyses.
Compared to PEN treatment, ISO administration profoundly induced hepatic HO-1 mRNA and protein expression and significantly increased HO enzyme activity in lean Zucker rats. In contrast, no difference in HO-1 gene expression was observed after ISO or PEN anesthesia in obese Zucker rats.
The present study demonstrates that ISO is an inducer of hepatic HO-1 gene expression in non-steatotic organs but failed to upregulate HO-1 in steatotic livers.
在肝脂肪变性动物模型中,研究异氟醚(ISO)对肝血红素加氧酶-1(HO-1)的诱导作用。
选择 lean(LEAN)和肥胖(FAT) Zucker 大鼠,随机分为 4 组:1:LEAN + 戊巴比妥钠(PEN);2:LEAN + ISO;3:FAT + PEN;4:FAT + ISO。动物进行机械通气 6 h。肝组织的体外分析包括 HO-1 mRNA 和蛋白表达的测定,以及 HO 酶活性和免疫组织化学分析。
与 PEN 处理相比,ISO 给药可显著诱导 lean Zucker 大鼠的肝 HO-1 mRNA 和蛋白表达,并显著增加 HO 酶活性。相反,在肥胖 Zucker 大鼠中,ISO 或 PEN 麻醉后,HO-1 基因表达无差异。
本研究表明,ISO 是非脂肪变性器官中肝 HO-1 基因表达的诱导剂,但不能上调脂肪变性肝脏中的 HO-1。
