Abstract:
Objective To study the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) in the brain tissue after the brain injury caused by acute organophosphate poisoning,and the interventional effect and mechanism of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats randomly divided into a control group (n=6),a poisoning group (n=18),a routine group (n=18) and an HBO group (n=18) according to a random number table.Acute organophosphate poisoning was induced into all rats except those in the control group.The routine group was given penehyclidine hydrochloride and pralidoxime chloride for once,while the HBO group was provided with HBO therapy immediately on the basis of routine treatment.At 1,3 and 7 hours after acute organophosphate poisoning was induced,six rats were sacrificed at each time point and the blood samples were taken from inferior caval vein to measure the content of Malondialdehyde (MDA).The expression of HIF-1α mRNA in the brain tissue was detected by the quantitative real-time PCR,and that of HIF-1 protein was evaluated by immunohistochemical method.Meanwhile,pathologic changes of the brain tissues were observed using hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.Results Compared with the poisoning group,the pathological damage to cerebral tissues lessened in the HBO group.The expression of HIF-1 protein and HIF-1 mRNA of the poisoning and the HBO groups was significantly higher than the control group at 3 different time points.After the HBO treatment,the protein expression of HIF-1 lowered from 226.57 ± 57.49,to 205.91 ± 30.36 and further to 187.67 ± 29.25,while the MDA content decreased from 7.74 ± 0.14,to 7.40 ± 0.13 and later to 6.10 ±0.08,both were significantly lower than those of the poisoning group at all time points,with HIF-1 being 1305.67 ± 167.17,2667.83 ± 367.79 and 1709.24 ± 199.07,along with MDA content being 9.48 ± 0.05,11.56 ± 0.13 and 12.26 ± 0.14,and those in the routine group at the time points of 1 and 3 hour later (P ＜ 0.05).A positive correlation was found between the expression level of HIF-1 mRNA and level of MDA in the serum (r =0.909,P=0.000).Conclusion HIF-1 plays an important role in the development of brain injury caused by acute organophosphate poisoning.The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen intervention against AOPP-induced brain injury is better than that of the routine treatment and its mechanism may be its antioxidation and inhibition of HIF-1 expression.
