摘要:

目的 探讨内源性硫化氢(hydrogensulfide, H₂S)对二乙基二硫代氨基甲酸盐(diethyldithiocarbamate, DDC)诱导的大鼠胰腺纤维化模型的影响。方法 健康雄性Wistar大鼠48只,随机分成对照组、模型组、NaHS组和PAG组,每组各12只。其中模型组间大鼠腹腔内注射10%DDC溶液(700mg/kg),隔日1次,共注射15次；NaHS组于造模的同时再注射H₂S供体硫氢化钠(sodium hydrosulfide, NaHS)(56μmol/L),1次/d；PAG组于造模的同时再注射DL-炔丙基甘氨酸(DL-propargylglycine, PAG)(45μmol/L),1次/d；对照组和模型组则注射同等体积的生理盐水,1次/d。实验后第30天,处死各组大鼠,留取动脉血和胰腺组织;采用H-E染色,在光学显微镜下观察胰腺组织学变化;采用Masson染色,测胶原纤维含量并进行病理学评分；采用ELISA法检测胰腺组织中Ⅰ型胶原、TGF-β1含量；采用Western印迹法检测胰腺组织中Smad7蛋白的表达,并检测血浆H₂S含量。结果模型组、NaHS组和PAG组大鼠胰腺组织病理学评分、胶原纤维含量、Ⅰ型胶原和TGF-β1明显高于对照组(P<0.05),而模型组明显高于NaHS组(P<0.05),PAG组明显高于模型组、NaHS组(P<0.05)。对照组、模型组和PAG组血浆H₂S含量明显低于NaHS组(P<0.05),模型组明显低于对照组(P<0.05),PAG组明显低于模型组(P<0.05)。模型组、NaHS组和PAG组胰腺组织中Smad7蛋白表达明显低于对照组(P<0.05),NaHS组、模型组明显高于PAG组(P<0.05),NaHS组明显高于模型组(P<0.05)。结论 在DDC诱导的大鼠胰腺纤维化模型中,内源性H₂S能够有效抑制实验性大鼠胰腺纤维化,其机制可能是通过TGF-β1/Smad信号通路上调胰腺组织中Smad7蛋白的表达及下调TGF-β1的表达。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of sodium hydrogen sulfide (NaHS) on pancreatic fibrosis induced by diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC). Methods Forty-eight Wistar rats were randomized into four groups (12 per group): normal control group, model group, NaHS group and PAG group. Pancreatic fibrosis was induced by intraperitoneal injection with 10% DDC (700mg/kg); sodium hydrosulfide (56μmol/L) or DL-propargylglycine (45μmol/L) was intraperitoneally injected 1/d in rats of HaHS and PAG groups, respectively; an equal volume of saline was intraperitoneally injected in control and model groups. All animals were sacrificed on d30. The pancreas samples were harvested for the macroscopic and microscopic examinations. Collagen Ⅰ and TGF-β1 in pancreatic tissue were detected by ELISA method, Smad7 was determined by Western blotting, plasma H₂S level was measured. Results Compared with the control group, the histological damage score, collagen area, the level of collagen Ⅰ and TGF-β1 were significant higher in model group, NaHS group and PAG group(P<0.05); those indicators in model group were significant higher than in NaHS group(P<0.05); those in PAG group were significant higher than in model group and NaHS groups(P<0.05). The expression of Smad7 was significant higher in control group than that in model group, NaHS group and PAG group(P<0.05); the expression of Smad7 in NaHS group was higher than that in model group and PAG group(P<0.05); the expression of Smad7 in model group was significant higher than that in PAG group(P<0.05).The level of serum H₂S was significant higher in NaHS group than that in control group, model group and PAG group(P<0.05); the serum H₂S level in control group was significant higher than that in model group(P<0.05); the serum H₂S level in model group was significant higher than that in PAG group(P<0.05).Conclusion Hydrogen sulfide has a significant anti-fibrosis effect on pancreatic fibrosis induced by DDC in rats, which is possibly related to the up-regulation of the expression of Smad7 and down-regulation of the TGF-β1.
