Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of heme oxygenase- 1 ( HO- 1 ) on pancreas and liver in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP) rats, and explore its probable mechanism. MethodsA total of 40 male SD rats were randomLy divided into 4 groups: control group(n = 10) ; SAP group(n = 10) ; HO-1 stimulation group (75 μg/kg hemin was injected intraperitoneally at 30 minutes after model establishment, n = 10 ) ; HO-1 inhibition group(20 μg/kg ZnPP was injected intraperitoneally at 30 minutes after model establishment, n = 10). Sodium Cholate (3%) was retrogradedly injected into the pancreatic duct to produce the SAP model. To observe the histopathological changes of pancreas, liver tissues were observed and serum, pancrease and liver tissues concentration of HO-1, IL-10 and TNF-α in different groups were observed 24 h after the SAP model establishment. ResultsCompared with those in SAP model group, the pathological scores were lower in HO-1 stimuLation group[ (7.50 ±0.58) vs (10.50 ±0. 71) ; ( 1.20 ±0.42) vs (1.70 ±0.48) ]( P < 0.05 ), and the serum, pancreas and liver tissues HO- 1 [ (0.97 ± 0.02) ng/mL, (0.78 ± 0.09) ng/mL,(0.73 ±0.05) ng/mL]and IL-10[(101.72 ±2.63) ng/mL, (63.58 +1.02) pg/mL, (169.40 ±3.06) pg/mL ]concentrations were significantly elevated in HO- 1 stimuLation group ( P < 0.05 ), while the serum, pancreas and liver tissues TNF-α [ (22.85 ± 1.74) pg/mL, (26.50 ± 1.3) pg/mL, (35.88 ±0.98 ) pg/mL]concentrations were significantly decreased in HO-1 stimuLation group (P < 0.05 ). Compared with those in SAP model group, the pathological scores were higher in HO-1 inhibition group (P <0.05 ), and the serum, pancreas and liver tissues HO-1 and IL-10 concentrations were significantly decreased( P <0.05 ), while the serum, pancreas and liver tissues TNF-α concentrations were significantly elevated (P < 0.05 ). CondusionThe results of the study demonstrated that HO- 1 over- expression has protective effects on the pancreas and liver in SAP. UP-regulated IL-10 expression and down-reguLated TNF-α expression might be served as a potential mechanism.
