Pathogenic role of cell pyroptosis in necrotizing enterocolitis in neonatal rats
To investigate whether cell pyroptosisis involved in the pathogenesis of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and explore the possible mechanism.
Methods
2
Fifty neonatal (1-day-old) Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into control group and NEC group (
n
=25). The rats in the control group were left with their mothers without particular treatment
and those in NEC group were subjected to gavage feeding
hypoxia and cold stress to establish models of NEC. The neonatal rats were weighed at a fixed time point of the day for 3 consecutive days. On day 4
all the rats were sacrificed by decapitation and a 2-cm segment of the proximal intestine at the ileocecal junction was harvested for histopathological evaluation. The mRNA expression levels of NLRP3
interleukin-1β (IL-1β)
and
IL-18 in the intestinal tissue were detected with quantitative real-time PCR
and the expression and activation level of caspase-1 were detected with Western blotting. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was performed to detect the expression levels of IL-1β and IL-18 proteins in the intestine tissues.
Results
2
Compared with the control group
the neonatal rats in NEC group showed significantly lowered body weight and obvious intestinal injury. The intestinal tissues of the neonatal rats in NEC group showed significantly increased expressions of NLRP3
IL-1β and IL-18 at both the mRNA (
P
<
0.05) and protein (
P
<
0.01) levels as compared with those in the control group. Activated caspase-1 protein was detected only in NEC group.
Conclusion
2
Cell pyroptosis participates in the pathogenesis of neonatal intestinal injury
in which increased IL-1β and IL-18 expression following cell pyroptosis may play a role.
