Abstract:
Objective To detect the expression of aquaporin 1 in pancreas of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) and to study the effect of Dachengqi decoction on it.MethodsOne hundred and sixty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group ( C group,n =32 ),ANP group ( n =32),Dexamethasone group (De group,n =32),Acetazolamide group (A group,n =32) and Dachengqi decoction group (DD group,n =32).ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5％ sodium taurocholate into the biliary and pancreatic duct.Rats in De group received dexamethasone (4 mg/kg) intravenously after ANP induction; while rats in A group received 1 ml acetazolamide via gastric lavage 2 h before ANP induction; rats in DD group received 2 ml Dachengqi decoction via gastric lavage 48,24,2h before ANP induction; rats in C group received laparotomy.Eight rats in each group were sacrificed at 3 h,6 h,12 h and 18h after induction of ANP models.Quantity of ascites and levels of serum amylases were measured.Pathological changes in pancreas tissue were detected by HE and electron microscope.Capillary permeability in pancreas tissue was detected by Evans Blue (EB) extravasations method.AQP1 expression in pancreas tissue was detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting.ResultsLevels of serum amylase in ANP group was significantly higher,and the pancreatic injuries were obvious ; the levels of serum amylase in De group and DD group was lower than that in ANP group,and the pancreatic injuries were attenuated.The levels of serum amylase in A group were higher than that in ANP group,and the pancreatic.injuries were more severe than that in ANP group.Six hours after ANP induction,the levels of EB in pancreas were (13.44 ±2.56),(126.35 ± 14.80),(86.31 ± 14.46),( 108.99 ± 15.07 ),(78.29 ± 16.85 ) mg/L In C group,ANP group,De group,A group and DD group,and the expression of AQP1 mRNA in pancreatic tissue was ( 170.07 ± 22.48 ) ％,( 83.93 ± 8.98 ) ％,( 117.09 ±10.70 ) ％,( 69.00 ± 8.98 ) ％,( 112.82 ± 11.79 ) ％ ; and the expression of AQP1 protein was 0.23 ± 0.06,0.10 ±0.02,0.32 ±0.03,0.13 ±0.02,0.45 ±0.04.The content of EB in ANP group was higher than that in C group,while the expression of AQP1 mRNA and protein in ANP group was significantly lower than that in C group (P ＜ 0.05 ).The content of EB in De group and DD group was significantly lower than that in ANP group,while the expression of AQP1 mRNA and protein was significantly higher than that in ANP group (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsAQP1 plays an important role in the pathogenesis of capillary endothelial barrier dysfunction in rats with ANP.Dachengqi Decoction can attenuate pancreatic injuries of rats by regulating the expression of AQP1.
