  • 摘要: 目的:基于核因子E2相关因子2(Nrf2)/血红素加氧酶1(HO-1)信号通路探究迷迭香酸(RA)对急性胰腺炎(AP)大鼠氧化损伤的影响。方法:将40 只大鼠随机分为Sham 组、AP 组、RA 组、RA+ML385(Nrf2 抑制剂)组。采用酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)法检测各组大鼠血清淀粉酶(AMY)、脂肪酶(LIP)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)、白细胞介素-6(IL-6)、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、丙二醛(MDA)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(GSH-Px)指标。HE染色检测胰腺组织病理学变化;TUNEL检测胰腺组织细胞凋亡;Western blotting和实时荧光定量PCR(RT-qPCR)法检测胰腺组织中Nrf2、HO-1蛋白和mRNA表达。结果:与Sham组相比,AP组血清中AMY、LIP、IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α、MDA含量、胰腺指数、胰腺组织病理学评分和细胞凋亡率显著升高,血清中SOD活性、GSH-Px含量、胰腺组织中Nrf2、HO-1 mRNA及蛋白表达量降低(均P< 0.05);与AP组相比,RA组血清中AMY、LIP、IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α、MDA含量、胰腺指数、胰腺组织病理学评分和细胞凋亡率降低,血清中SOD活性、GSH-Px含量、胰腺组织中Nrf2、HO-1 mRNA及蛋白表达量显著升高(均P< 0.05);RA+ML385组血清中AMY、LIP、IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α、MDA含量、胰腺指数、胰腺组织病理学评分和细胞凋亡率高于RA组,血清中SOD活性、GSH-Px含量、胰腺组织中Nrf2、HO-1表达量低于RA组(均P< 0.05)。结论:RA可抑制AP大鼠炎症反应和氧化应激损伤,减轻胰腺组织病理损伤,其作用机制可能与激活Nrf2/HO-1信号通路有关。

     

    Abstract: Objective:To investigate the effect of rosmarinic acid (RA) on oxidative damage in rats with acute pancreatitis (AP) based on nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway.Methods:A total of 40 rats were randomly divided into Sham group, AP group, RA group, and RA+ML385(Nrf2 inhibitor)group.The levels of serum amylase(AMY), lipase(LIP), interleukin-1β(IL-1β), interleukin-6(IL-6), tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), malondialdehyde(MDA), superoxide dismutase(SOD), and glutathione peroxidase(GSH-Px)levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Histopathological changes in pancreatic tissue were assessed using HE staining.Cell apoptosis in pancreatic tissue was detected using TUNEL assay.Protein expression and mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in pancreatic tissue were examined using western blotting and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR), respectively.Results:Compared with the Sham group, the levels of AMY, LIP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, pancreatic index, pancreatic histopathological score and cell apoptosis rate in the AP group significantly increased, while the activities of SOD, levels of GSH-Px, and protein and mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in pancreatic tissue significantly decreased (P< 0.05).Compared with the AP group, the levels of AMY, LIP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, pancreatic index, pancreatic histopathological score, and cell apoptosis rate in the RA group decreased, while the activities of SOD, levels of GSH-Px, and protein and mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in pancreatic tissue significantly increased(all P< 0.05).The RA+ML385 group showed higher levels of AMY, LIP, IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α, MDA, pancreatic index, pancreatic histopathological score, and cell apoptosis rate compared with the RA group, while the activities of SOD, levels of GSH-Px, and protein and mRNA expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in pancreatic tissue were lower than those in the RA group (all P< 0.05).Conclusion:RA can inhibit inflammation and oxidative damage in AP rats and alleviate pancreatic tissue pathological damage.Its mechanism of action may be related to the activation of the Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.
