大鼠脑损伤后EPO及其受体表达与损伤时间的关系

目的研究大鼠脑损伤后脑组织中促红细胞生成素(erythropoietin,EPO)及其受体(erythropoietin receptor,EPOR)的表达与损伤时间的关系。方法 72只SD大鼠随机分为对照组(36只)、脑损伤组(36只),在建模后1、2、4、8、12、24 h每组各取6只大鼠处死,取挫伤部位脑组织,应用实时荧光定量PCR和Western印迹法检测不同时间点EPO以及EPOR的mRNA表达和蛋白表达情况。结果伤后24h内,EPO及EPOR的表达随损伤时间的增加而呈上升趋势。EPO的mRNA及蛋白表达与损伤时间之间存在相关性,其相关系数分别为0.875、0.911(P0.05);EPOR的mRNA及蛋白表达与损伤时间之间存在相关性,其相关系数分别为0.936、0.905(P0.05)。结论大鼠颅脑损伤早期EPO及EPOR的表达呈逐步上升趋势,与损伤时间具有相关性,可以作为脑损伤时间推断的参考。

Relationship between Injury Time and Expressions of EPO and Its Receptors in Rats Brain after Cerebral Injury

Objective To explore the relationship betw een injury age and expressions of erythropoietin (EPO ) and its receptor EPO R in the brain tissue of rats after cerebral injury. Methods Seventy-tw o rats w ere random ly divided into control group (36 rats) and cerebral injury group (36 rats). The rats w ere sac-rificed at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 24 h after cerebral injury (6 rats at each tim e point) and the brain tissues w ere extracted. The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO and EPO R at different tim e points w ere de-tected by real-tim e fluorescent quantitative PC R and W estern bloting. Results The expressions of EPO and EPO R increased w ithin 24 h after injury. The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO w ere relat-ed to the injury age, and the correlations w ere 0.875, 0.911, respectively (P<0.05). The expressions of m RNA and protein of EPO R w ere related to the injury age, and the correlation coefficients w ere 0.936, 0.905, respectively (P<0.05). Conclusion The expressions of EPO and EPO R increase gradually in the early stage of the rat’s cerebral injury, w hich are associated w ith the injury age and could be a useful value for estim ating injury age.
