摘要?目的:觀察蜂毒素對博萊霉素誘導小鼠肺纖維化的干預作用。方法:70只SPF級C57BL/6小鼠被隨機分為正常組10只和模型組、地塞米松組、蜂毒素低劑量組、蜂毒素中劑量組、蜂毒素高劑量組各12只。除正常組外,均采用氣管穿刺注入博萊霉素(BLM)制備肺纖維化小鼠模型。從術后第1天開始,地塞米松組按3 mg/kg的劑量腹腔注射,蜂毒素低、中、高劑量組分別給予5 μg/(kg·d)、10 μg/(kg·d)、20 μg/(kg·d),對照組和模型組給予等體積生理鹽水灌胃,連續2周。分別于第7、第14天處死動物,收集小鼠外周血樣本,通過ELISA方法檢測血清轉化生長因子(TGF-β1)、膠原蛋白I(CollagenI)、膠原蛋白III(CollagenIII)、基質金屬蛋白酶2(MMP2)和基質金屬蛋白酶9(MMP9)的水平。取肺組織進行蘇木精-伊紅(HE)分析,Masson染色和羥脯氨酸(HYP)評估以觀察組織病理學變化和膠原沉積。采用實時熒光定量(Real-ime PCR)法和蛋白兔疫印跡法(Western blot)觀察各組大鼠肺組織TGF-β1、Smad2、Smad3等蛋白和基因的表達變化。結果:與對照組比較,模型組大鼠肺纖維化明顯,HYP、TGF-β1、CollagenI、CollagenI的含量升高(P<0.05),肺組織TGF-β1、Smad2、Smad3蛋白和基因表達升高(P<0.05);與模型組比較,蜂毒素中高劑量組血清HYP、TGF-β1、CollagenI、CollagenI的含量下降(P<0.05),肺組織TGF-β1、Smad2、Smad3蛋白和基因表達降低,差異有統計學意義(P<0.05)。結論:蜂毒素可以減輕博來霉素誘導的小鼠肺纖維化的程度,其機制可能與抑制TGF-β1/Smads通路有關。

Abstract?Objective:To observe the effects of melittin on inhibiting pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin in rats. Methods:Seventy SPF grade C57BL/6 rats were randomly divided into the normal group(n=10)and the model group,dexamethasone group and melittin low dose group,melittin middle dose group and melittin high dose group(n=12). In addition to the normal group,a rat model of pulmonary fibrosis was prepared by injecting bleomycin(BLM)into the trachea. From the first day after surgery,the dexamethasone group was intraperitoneally injected at a dose of 3 mg/kg,while the low,medium and high doses of melittin were administered to 5,10,and 20 μg/(kg·d) respectively. The control group and the model group were given an equal volume of saline for 2 weeks. The animals were sacrificed on the 7th and 14th day,respectively,peripheral blood samples of which were collected. ELISA was used to detect serum transforming growth factor(TGF-β1),collagen I(Collagen I),collagen III(Collagen III),and matrix metalloproteinase 2(MMP2)and the level of matrix metalloproteinase 9(MMP9). Lung tissue was taken for hematoxylin-eosin(HE)analysis,Masson staining and hydroxyproline(HYP)evaluation to observe histopathological changes and collagen deposition. The expressions of TGF-β1,Smad2,Smad3 and other proteins and genes in lung tissue of each group were observed by Real-time PCR and Western blot. Results:Compared with the control group,the pulmonary fibrosis was significantly increased in the model group. The contents of HYP,TGF-β1,Collagen I and Collagen I were increased(P<0.05),and the expression of TGF-β1,Smad2,Smad3 protein and gene in lung tissue was increased(P<0.05); Compared with the model group,the levels of serum HYP,TGF-β1,Collagen I,CollagenI in the high dose group of melittin decreased(P<0.05),and TGF-β1,Smad2,Smad3 protein in lung tissue and gene expression was decreased(P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the low-dose group. Conclusion:Melittin can effectively reduce the degeneration of pulmonary fibrosis induced by bleomycin,and its mechanism may be related to the regulation of TGF-β1/Smads pathway.

肺纖維化(Pulmonary Fibrosis,PF)是一種進行性加重的肺間質疾病,以限制性通氣功能障礙、進行性彌漫性肺間質纖維化為特征,最終可導致呼吸衰竭,預后極差[1]。……
