ObjectiveTo explore the regulation of nuclear factorκB (NFκB) on tumor necrosis factorα (TNFα) expression in the liver and its role in liver injury in rats with acute pancreatitis.MethodsSeventytwo Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups: acute pancreatitis group (AP), acute pancreatitis treated with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) group (APP) and sham operation group (SO). The hepatic NFκB activities were determined with electrophoretic mobility shift assays. The expressions of hepatic TNFα mRNA were detected with RTPCR. The levels of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were also measured.ResultsThe NFκB activities were significantly higher in AP and APP groups than those in SO group 3-6 hours after operation. The expressions of TNFα mRNA were ber in AP and APP groups than those in SO group 3-24 hours after operation. The levels of serum ALT were also significantly higher in these two groups than those in SO group 3-24 hours after operation. However, compared with AP group, the activities of NFκB, the expressions of TNFα mRNA and the levels of ALT significantly decreased in APP group.ConclusionThe activation of hepatic NFκB is associated with the liver injury by regulating TNFα mRNA expression in acute pancreatitis.
摘要:目的:通过建立高脂血症脂肪肝动物模型,探讨杜仲叶醇提取物(alcohol extractive of Folium Eucommiae,AEFE)对脂肪肝的防治作用。方法:高脂饮食8周加维生素D36×105IU/kg分3d腹腔注射，建立大鼠高脂血症脂肪肝动物模型。各给药组从造模第3周开始分别灌胃给予洛伐他汀(4mg·kg-1·d-1)、 AEFE(70、140和420mg·kg-1·d-1),共给药6周。各组每天灌服等量生理盐水，灌胃容积为0.5mL/100g体重。结果:AEFE用药6周后显示,各剂量组血清胆固醇、甘油三酯和游离脂肪酸、谷丙转氨酶和谷草转氨酶均较模型组明显降低(Plt;005),肝组织丙二醛含量降低和超氧化物歧化酶活性升高,肝脂肪变性和炎症反应减轻,尤以中剂量组作用最明显(Plt;001)。AEFE对肝内肿瘤坏死因子α浓度无明显影响。结论:AEFE改善高脂性大鼠肝脏脂肪变性,此作用可能与其降血脂、抗氧化损伤有关。
