To establish a SD rat model of vulvar lichen simplex chronicus (LSC) and investigate the expression of protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2) in the genital skin.
Seventy female SD rats were randomly divided into group A (blank control group, n=10), group B (with application of acetone solution 3 times per week for 10 weeks, n=10), group C (with chronic mechanical irritation 3 times per week for 10 weeks, n=10), and group D (with topical treatment with 0.5= 7,12-Dimethylbenzanthracene [DMBA] in acetone solution and chronic mechanical irritation 3 times per week for 10 weeks, n=40). The changes of the genital skin changes were observed regularly and the expression of PAR2 in groups A and D was detected with immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and qRT-PCR.
In group D, LSC occurred in 23 rats (57.5=) at 8 weeks and in 38 rats (95=) at 10 weeks; 8 rats (20=) showed papilloma at 12 weeks. Acetone treatment or chronic mechanical irritation did not cause LSC in the rats. Immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and qRT-PCR showed significantly increased expressions of PAR2 in group D at both the protein and mRNA levels as compared with those in group A (P<0.05).
0.5= DMBA in acetone solution along with chronic mechanical irritation can induce LSC in female SD rats, and PAR2 is closely related with the occurrence and progression of LSC.
建立雌性SD大鼠外阴慢性单纯性苔藓(LSC)模型,探讨蛋白酶激活受体2(PAR2)在生殖器皮肤中的表达。
将70只雌性SD大鼠随机分为A组(空白对照组,n = 10)、B组(每周外用丙酮溶液3次,共10周,n = 10)、C组(每周进行慢性机械刺激3次,共10周,n = 10)和D组(外用0.5% 7,12 - 二甲基苯并蒽[DMBA]丙酮溶液并每周进行慢性机械刺激3次,共10周,n = 40)。定期观察生殖器皮肤变化,采用免疫组织化学、蛋白质印迹法及实时荧光定量PCR检测A组和D组PAR2的表达。
D组在8周时23只大鼠(57.5%)发生LSC,10周时38只大鼠(95%)发生LSC;12周时8只大鼠(20%)出现乳头瘤。丙酮处理或慢性机械刺激未导致大鼠发生LSC。免疫组织化学、蛋白质印迹法及实时荧光定量PCR结果显示,与A组相比,D组PAR2在蛋白和mRNA水平的表达均显著增加(P < 0.05)。
0.5% DMBA丙酮溶液联合慢性机械刺激可诱导雌性SD大鼠发生LSC,PAR2与LSC的发生发展密切相关。
