小鼠皮肤切创IL-10和IL-4的表达及其与损伤时间关系

目的　探讨IL 10、IL 4在小鼠皮肤切创愈合过程中的表达变化规律及其与损伤时间的关系。方法　应用免疫组织化学及图像分析技术 ,观察实验小鼠不同时程的生前伤 ( 0 5～ 168h)及死后伤 ( 1～ 6h)皮肤创伤局部IL 10、IL 4的表达情况。结果　生前伤 ,IL 10在伤后 1～ 3h阳性反应逐渐增强 ,3h达峰值 ,2 4h降至较低水平 ,伤后 48h再次升高 ,72h又达新峰值 ,其阳性表达部位主要在表皮细胞及单核 /巨噬细胞 ;IL 4于伤后 2 4h出现明显阳性反应 ,96h表达水平达峰值 ,168h仍维持在较高水平 ,其阳性细胞主要为创伤局部的成纤维细胞。死后伤 ,IL 10仅于死后 1～ 3h呈阳性染色 ,IL 4未见阳性染色。结论　IL 10、IL 4在小鼠皮肤切创愈合过程中的表达呈现一定的时序性变化。

An immunohistochemical study on the time-dependent expression of IL-10 and IL-4 during skin incised wound healing in mice

Objective To explore the temporal expressions of interleukin-10(IL-10)and interleukin-4(IL-4)and their relationship with the wound age during skin incised wound healing in mice.Methods Immunohistochemical and image-analysis techniques were employed in vital skin wounds 0.5h～168h after incision and postmortem incision 0.5h～6h after death.Results Weak expression of IL-10 was detected at 0.5h after incision,which increased subsequently,and peaked at 3h post-injury.Then decreased to the pre-incision level at 24h,but peaked again at 72h after injury.Immunostaining revealed that epidermal cells and infiltrating mononuclear cells were the major source of IL-10.IL-4-positive cells were observed in the dermis at 24h,and reached the maximum level at 96h,which maintained until 168h post-injury.IL-4 was mainly expressed in the fibroblast-like cells of the granulation tissue and dermis.In addition,faint IL-10-positive cells were merely identified in the epidermal cells in the postmortem incision skin within 1～3h after incision.No IL-4-postitive cells were found in the postmortem incision skin.Conclusion The time-dependent expressions of IL-10 and IL-4 during cutaneous wound healing may be used for the estimation of wound age.
