Our aim was to verify the alleviation effect of sphingosine-1-phosphate (S1P) in a miniature pig model.
Thirty male miniature pigs were randomly separated into 10 groups in our experiment. We administered S1P through the parotid duct in a retrograde fashion 2 hr before irradiation (IR). The salivary flow rate and blood flow rate were tested 20 weeks after IR. The apoptotic level was checked at 12, 24 hr and 7 days post-IR.
Twenty weeks after IR, the salivary flow rate of the IR-side parotid gland in IR + S1P group can be maintained at about 40% of the non-IR side, while only 20% was maintained in the IR group. The blood flow rate and microvascular density were significantly higher in the IR + S1P group than in the IR group. The apoptotic level and cleaved caspase-3 expression were downregulated in IR + S1P group, and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax was increased. The blood flow rate and CD31 level were significantly restored at 12, 24 hr and 7 days post-IR.
Sphingosine-1-phosphate may partially alleviate IR-induced parotid dysfunction by decreasing apoptosis of microvascular endothelial cells and maintaining the blood flow rate.
本研究旨在验证鞘氨醇-1-磷酸(S1P)在小型猪模型中的缓解作用。
在本实验中,30 只雄性小型猪被随机分为 10 组。在照射(IR)前 2 小时通过腮腺管逆行给予 S1P。IR 后 20 周测试唾液流量和血流速度。IR 后 12、24 小时和 7 天检测细胞凋亡水平。
IR+S1P 组 IR 侧腮腺的唾液流量在 IR 后 20 周可维持在非 IR 侧的约 40%,而 IR 组仅维持 20%。IR+S1P 组的血流速度和微血管密度明显高于 IR 组。IR+S1P 组的细胞凋亡水平和 cleaved caspase-3 表达下调,Bcl-2/Bax 比值增加。IR 后 12、24 小时和 7 天,血流速度和 CD31 水平明显恢复。
鞘氨醇-1-磷酸可能通过减少微血管内皮细胞的凋亡和维持血流速度,部分缓解 IR 引起的腮腺功能障碍。
