摘要

目的

探讨牛磺熊去氧胆酸(tauroursodeoxycholic acid，TUDCA)减轻大鼠肝移植后肝脏缺血再灌注损伤的机制。

方法

分离雄性SD大鼠Kupffer细胞并培养，按不同浓度梯度给予TUDCA体外处理24 h，收集细胞上清液并提取蛋白和mRNA。共分为4组：①非活化组；②活化+0 μmol/L组；③活化+50 μmol/L组；④活化+100 μmol/L组。检测炎症因子、IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB通路活性、P65入核程度。雄性SD大鼠于术前3 d经腹腔注射TUDCA 400 mg·kg

或者等量生理盐水后，建立大鼠肝移植模型，分为3组：①假手术组；②缺血再灌注组(IR组)；③IR+TUDCA组。各组大鼠分别于再灌注3、6、24 h后收取肝组织标本以及血液标本，并提取Kupffer细胞中蛋白。检测肝脏病理改变、肝功能、肝细胞凋亡程度、肝脏炎症因子、Kupffer细胞中IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB通路活性。

结果

TUDCA处理活化的Kupffer细胞后，IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α分泌减少(

0.05)，并且IRE1α、TRAF2、p-IKKα、p-IκB、p-P65表达降低(

0.05)，P65细胞核相对表达程度降低。TUDCA干预大鼠肝移植模型后，肝组织中气球样变性、点灶坏死，汇管区大量中性粒细胞、淋巴细胞浸润，肝血窦变窄等病理改变显著减轻，IR+TUDCA组Suzuk’s评分(2.95±0.15)较IR组(4.78±0.36)明显降低，肝功能标志物水平下降(

0.05)，肝实质细胞凋亡数量减少(

0.05)，IR+TUDCA组凋亡指数(29.1±12.3)较IR组(56.3±17.5)明显降低(

0.05)，并且IL-1β、IL-6、TNF-α分泌减少(

0.05)，Kupffer细胞中IRE1α、TRAF2、p-IKKα、p-IκB、p-P65表达降低(

结论

牛磺熊去氧胆酸能够减轻大鼠肝移植后肝脏缺血再灌注损伤程度，其机制可能是下调IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB通路活性抑制Kupffer细胞功能。

Abstract

Objective

To investigate the protective effect of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the liver graft after transplantation and explore the possible mechanism.

Methods

Cultured Kupffer cells from male SD rats were activated by stimulation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) followed by treatment with TUDCA (50 or 100 μmol/L) or PBS for 24 h

and the inflammatory factors and the activity of the IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB pathway activity in the supernatant were detected. Male SD rats were divided into sham-operation group

IR group

and IR+TUDCA group (

=15)

and in the latter 2 groups

the rats were subjected to daily intraperitoneal injection of normal saline and TUDCA (400 mg/kg) for 3 consecutive days

respectively

before orthotopic liver transplantation was performed. Blood and liver graft samples were collected from the recipient rats at 3

and 24 h after the operation for assessing the graft pathologies

liver function

hepatocyte apoptosis and the proinflammatory factors

and Kupffer cells were isolated to detect the activity of the IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB pathway.

Results

Treatment with TUDCA significantly decreased the secretion of IL-1β

IL-6 and TNF-α (

0.05)

lowered the expression levels of IRE1α

TRAF2

p-IKKα

p-IκB

and p-P65 (

0.05)

and reduced intranuclear expression of P65 in LPS-activated Kupffer cells. In the rat models of orthotopic liver transplantation

compared with saline treatment

TUDCA treatment obviously alleviated IR-induced pathologies (including ballooning degeneration

spotted and focal necrosis

massive accumalation of neutrophils in portal area

lymphocyte infiltration

and narrowing of hepatic sinuses) in the liver graft

significantly lowered the Suzuk's score from 4.78±0.36 to 2.95±0.15 (

0.05)

and reduced the levels of alanine aminotransferase and aspartate transaminase (

0.05) and hepatocyte apoptosis (

0.05). TUDCA treatment significantly lowered the apoptotic index of the graft from 56.3±17.

5 (in saline-treated IR rats) to 29.1±12.3 (

0.05)

and obviously suppressed the secretion of IL-1β

IL-6

and TNF-α (

0.05) and the expression levels of IRE1α

TRAF2

p-IKKα

p-IκB

and p-P65 (

0.05) in the Kupffer cells from the recipient rats.

Conclusion

TUDCA can effectively alleviate IR injury in the liver graft possibly by down-regulating the activity of IRE1α/TRAF2/NF-κB pathway to suppress the function of the Kupffer cells.
