Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of Lipo-PGE1 on the expression of T-bet and Gata-3,and its potential mechanisms causing the shift of T cells from Th1 to Th2 on Acute lung injury(ALI)induced by Lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in mice.Methods Sixty male BALB-C mice were randomly divided into three groups(n =20 in each group):(1)control group,mice were treated with intravenous injection of NS in dose of 10 ml/kg,(2)LPS group,mice were exposed to LPS with dosage of 5 mg/kg(0.5 g/ml diluted in saline),and(3)LPS + PGE1 group,mice were treated with Lipo-PGE1 in dose of 15μg/kg.Sixhours after injection,the lungs were removed for observing the histopathological changes and determination of wet/dry lung weight(W/D)ratio.The levels of Th1 and Th2 were determined by flow cytometry,and the expressions of T-bet and Gata-3 mRNA were detected by using RT-PCR.One-way ANOVA was used for comparing differences between groups,and all data were presented in((x)± s).Results The histological changes of lung injury were lessened by PGEC ompared with the W/D ratio(5.74 ± 0.31)in LPS group,the one(4.92 ±0.27)in LPS +PGE1 group was lower significantly(P ＜0.01).The levels of Th1 and Th2 and their ratio Were higher in LPS +PGE1 group[(20.31 ±2.20)％,(10.50±0.80)％,(1.93±0.05)]than in LPS group[(16.65 ±1.70)％,(9.40 ±1.25)％,(1.73 ±0.03)](P＜0.01).Compared with control group,the expressions ofT-bet mRNA(1.183 ±0.495),and Gata-3 mRNA(0.693±0.285),and their ratio(1.713 ± 0.131)were lower(P ＜0.01); compared with LPS group,PGE1 significantly increased the expressions of T-bet mRNA(1.827 ± 0.705)and the ratio of T-bet/Gata-3 (2.502 ±0.352)(P ＜0.01),while didn(t)increased the expressions of Gata-3 mRNA(0.7191 ±0.186)significantly(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Lipo-PGE1 may up-regulate transcription factor T-bet which participates in the Th1 differentiation ratio,and then improve the inflammatorv svmntom.
