硫化氢对创伤应激引起大鼠急性肝损伤的作用

目的探讨硫化氢(H_2S)在挤压大鼠后肢致急性肝损伤过程中的作用。方法将大鼠随机分为对照组、挤压组、H_2S供体硫氢化钠(Na HS)+挤压组、H_2S生成抑制剂炔丙基甘氨酸(propargylglycine,PAG)+挤压组。用标准重物挤压大鼠后肢建立急性肝损伤模型,分别于挤压结束后30、120 min处死大鼠。比色法检测血清天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(AST)、丙氨酸氨基转移酶(ALT)活性,化学法检测大鼠血浆H_2S、肝组织丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)、蛋白质羰基、谷胱甘肽(glutathion,GSH)含量和H_2S生成酶胱硫醚γ-裂解酶(cystathionineγ-lyase,CSE)活性,RT-PCR半定量检测肝组织CSE m RNA的表达。结果挤压大鼠后肢可引起血清AST、ALT活性增高,肝组织MDA、蛋白质羰基含量增加及GSH含量降低,血浆H_2S含量减少,肝组织CSE活性降低、CSE m RNA表达下降。预先给予Na HS可显著减轻、而PAG明显加剧挤压后肢所致上述肝损伤改变。结论 H_2S生成减少参与介导创伤应激引起的大鼠急性肝损伤。

The Role of Hydrogen Sulfide in Acute Liver Injury Induced by Traumatic Stress in Rats

Objective To explore the role of hydrogen sulfide (H 2S ) in acute liver injury induced by crush-ing hind lim bs of rats. Methods The rats w ere random ly divided into the follow ing groups:control, crush-ing, H 2S donor sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) + crushing, H 2S inhibitor propargylglycine (PAG ) + crush-ing group. The acute liver injury m odel w as established by crushing the hind lim bs of rats w ith standard w eight. R ats w ere sacrificed at 30 m in and 120 m in after the crush. The activities of serum aspartate am inotransferase (AST) and alanine am inotransferase (ALT) w ere m easured by colorim etric m ethod, and the content of H 2S in plasm a and the contents of m alondialdehyde (MDA), protein carbonyl, glutathione (GSH) in the liver and the activity of H 2S generating enzym e (cystathionine γ-lyase, CSE) w ere deter-m ined by chem ical m ethod. The expression of CSEm R N Ain liver w as detected by R T-PCR . Results For crush injury group, the levels of ASTand ALTin serum , MDAand protein carbonyl in liver in-creased. The levels of GSH, CSE, CSEm R N Ain liver and H 2S in serum decreased. The adm inistration of NaHS before lim bs crush could attenuate the changes of liver injury, but the pre-treatm ent w ith PAG could exacerbate the changes. Conclusion The decrease of H 2S production could involve in m ediating the acute liver injury induced by traum atic stress in rats.
