Abstract:
Objective To explore the mechanism of somatostatin in improving acute lung injury associated with acute pancreatitis.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into sham operation group(injection of normal saline),model group(puncture of common bile duct and injection of 5％sodium taurocholate with wire ligation),somatostatin group(injection of somatostatin into tail vein of model group),somatostatin+miR-146a-5p inhibitor group(on the basis of somatostatin group,tail vein injection of miR-146a-5p inhibitor and somatostatin+oe-angiogenin-like protein 4(ANGPTL4)group(on the basis of somatostatin group,tail vein injection of oe-ANGPTL4 plasmid).Hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining was used to observe the pathological changes of pancreatic and lung tissues;pathological score and tissue wet-dry weight ratio were determined,real-time fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect miR-146a-5p and ANGPTL4 mRNA expression and Western blot was used to detect the expression of related proteins in lung tissues of rats.Tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results In sham operation group,model group and somatostatin group,the damage degree of pancreas tissue(based on modified computed tomography severity index)were 1.25±0.28,3.20±0.34,2.15±0.31,respectively;the damage degree of lung tissue(based on the Smith lung injury score system)were 1.40±0.13,5.10±0.58,3.10±0.38,respectively.The relative expression levels of ANGPTL4 mRNA in sham operation group,model group,somatostatin group and somatostatin+miR-146a-5p inhibitor group were 1.00±0.17,1.63±0.20,1.21±0.18 and 1.73±0.28.The levels of TNF-α in sham operation group,model group,somatostatin group,somatostatin+miR-146a-5p inhibitor group and somatostatin+oe-ANGPTL4 group were(76.33±7.25),(125.05±13.56),(80.11±10.68),(118.62±14.32)and(105.32±13.52)pg·mL-1,respectively;the relative expression levels of nuclear factor E2-related factor 2(Nrf2)protein were 1.00±0.27,0.51±0.07,0.88±0.14,0.68±0.12,0.51±0.09,respectively;the relative expression levels of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)protein were 1.00±0.25,0.58±0.11,0.79±0.18,0.48±0.07 and 0.50±0.08,respectively.The above indexes of the model group were compared with those of the sham operation group,and the above indexes of the somatostatin group were compared with those of the model group,somatostatin+miR-146a-5p inhibitor group and somatostatin+oe-ANGPTL4 group,and the differences were statistically significant(all P＜0.05).Conclusion Somatostatin has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and can ameliorate acute lung injury associated with acute pancreatitis.The mechanism may be related to Nrf2/HO-1 pathway mediated by miR-146a-5p/ANGPTL4.
