Abstract:
Objective To explore the mechanism of Exenatide-induced rat pancreatic tissue lesion.Methods Thirty SD male rats were divided into three groups according to complete random design,and each group had 10 rats,namely Exenatide group,diabetes-model group and control group.Diabetes-model rats were induced by streptozotocin (STZ,35mg/kg) and high-sugar and high-fat diet.The Exenatide group and diabetes group were subcutaneously administered with Exenatide at a dose of 5 μg/kg twice a day.The control group was treated with same amount of saline.Ten weeks later,all the rats were sacrificed and the pancreatic tissues were harvested for routine pathological examination.Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression of α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and type Ⅲ collagen protein in pancreatic tissue,and ELISA was applied to measure the expression of matrix metalloprotei-nase-2 (MMP-2) and MMP-9 in pancreatic tissue.Results In control group,there was no pathological change in pancreatic tissue.In Exenatide group,chronic inflammatory changes were observed; and the degree of inflammatory changes were much severe in diabetes group,and the pathological scores were gradually increased in the 3 groups (P ＜0.05).The expressions of MMP 2 in pancreatic tissue in control group,Exenatide group,diabetes group were (186.98 ± 23.24),(306.07 ± 59.82),(365.08 ± 89.55) μg/L,and the expressions of MMP-9 were (49.37 ± 7.08),(67.24 ±14.73),(87.37 ±13.39)μg/L.The values were significantly higher in Exenatide group and diabetes group than those in control group (P ＜ 0.05),but the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant.The numbers of α-SMA positive cells per high power field were (13.4 ± 5.97),(29.5 ± 8.80),(79.3 ± 27.23) in control group,Exenatide group,diabetes group,and the numbers of type Ⅲ collagen positive cells were (10.6 ± 4.93),(29.3 ± 12.95),(56.0 ± 27.21).The values were significantly higher in Exenatide group than those in control group,and the values were significantly higher in diabetes group than those in Exenatide group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Long-term subcutaneous injection of Exenatide may activate pancreatic stellate cells and cause expression of α-SMA,Ⅲ collagen protein,and MMP-2,MMP-9,then induce chronic inflammatory changes.
