BACKGROUND
Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a crucial receptor in the innate immune system and noninfectious immune responses. It has been reported that TLR4 participates in the pathological course of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. However, the role of TLR4 in the process of I/R injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is still unknown. In this study, we investigated the effects of TLR4 mutation on survival and neurological outcome in a mouse model of CA/CPR.
METHODS
A model of potassium-induced CA was performed on TLR4-mutant mice (C3H/HeJ) and wild-type mice (C3H/HeN). After 3 min of untreated CA, resuscitation was attempted with chest compression, ventilation, and intravenous epinephrine. Behavioral tests were performed on mice on day 3 after CPR. The morphological changes in hippocampal neurons were assessed by light and electron microscopy. Expressions of TLR4 and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were detected by Western blot. Levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and myeloperoxidase (MPO) were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).
RESULTS
On day 3 after resuscitation the overall mortality was 33.33% in C3H/HeJ group compared with 53.33% in C3H/HeN group (P < 0.05). And there was much higher central tendency in C3H/HeJ group than C3H/HeN group during open field test (P < 0.05). Meanwhile, the percentage of nonviable neurons was 21.16% in C3H/HeJ group compared with 53.11% in C3H/HeN group (P < 0.05). And there were significantly lower levels of hippocampal TNF-α and MPO in C3H/HeJ mice (TNF-α: 6.85±1.19 ng/mL, MPO: 0.33±0.11 U/g) than C3H/HeN mice (TNF-α: 11.36±2.12 ng/mL, MPO: 0.54±0.17 U/g) (all P < 0.01). CPR also significantly increased the expressions of TLR4 and ICAM-1 in C3H/HeN group. However, the expression of ICAM-1 was much lower in C3H/HeJ group than in C3H/HeN group after CPR (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSION
TLR4 signaling is involved in brain damage and in inflammation triggered by CA/CPR.
背景
Toll样受体4（TLR4）是先天性免疫系统和非感染性免疫反应中的关键受体。据报道，TLR4参与缺血/再灌注（I/R）损伤的病理过程。然而，TLR4在心脏骤停（CA）和心肺复苏（CPR）后I/R损伤过程中的作用仍不清楚。在本研究中，我们在CA/CPR小鼠模型中研究了TLR4突变对生存和神经功能结局的影响。
方法
对TLR4突变小鼠（C3H/HeJ）和野生型小鼠（C3H/HeN）进行钾诱导的CA模型。未经处理的CA 3分钟后，尝试通过胸外按压、通气和静脉注射肾上腺素进行复苏。在CPR后第3天对小鼠进行行为测试。通过光学和电子显微镜评估海马神经元的形态变化。通过蛋白质免疫印迹法检测TLR4和细胞间黏附分子-1（ICAM-1）的表达。用酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA）测量肿瘤坏死因子-α（TNF-α）和髓过氧化物酶（MPO）的水平。
结果
复苏后第3天，C3H/HeJ组的总死亡率为33.33%，而C3H/HeN组为53.33%（P<0.05）。在旷场试验中，C3H/HeJ组的集中趋势比C3H/HeN组高得多（P<0.05）。同时，C3H/HeJ组中不可存活神经元的百分比为21.16%，而C3H/HeN组为53.11%（P<0.05）。C3H/HeJ小鼠海马TNF-α和MPO水平（TNF-α：6.85±1.19 ng/mL，MPO：0.33±0.11 U/g）明显低于C3H/HeN小鼠（TNF-α：11.36±2.12 ng/mL，MPO：0.54±0.17 U/g）（均P<0.01）。CPR还显著增加了C3H/HeN组中TLR4和ICAM-1的表达。然而，CPR后C3H/HeJ组中ICAM-1的表达远低于C3H/HeN组（P<0.01）。
结论
TLR4信号通路参与了CA/CPR引发的脑损伤和炎症反应。
