Abstract:
AIM: To observe the changes of interleukin1 receptor associated kinase-4(IRAK-4) in ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) liver pretreated with lipopolysaccharide(LPS) and to explore the protective mechanisms of LPS pretreatment against hepatic I/R injury.METHODS: Male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 240-280 g,were divided into three groups: control,ischemia/reperfusion group(I/R group) and LPS-pretreated group(LPS group).On the first day,LPS group received 0.1 mg/kg LPS via the tail vein,followed by 0.5 mg/kg on the 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th day.I/R group received the equivalent volumes(0.5 mL) of sterile PBS.Experiments of I/R injury was induced by temporary ischemia of the left lateral liver lobe for 90 min followed by 3 h reperfusion on 2 days after the last LPS treatment.At 0 min,60 min and 180 min after reperfusion,the expression of IRAK-4 gene and protein level were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting.The activity of NF-?B and the serum TNF-? level were also detected by ELISA.RESULTS: Although the level of IRAK-4 gene and protein were higher in the LPS group than that in I/R group and control group(P0.05) at 0 min after reperfusion.However,all those indexes were evidently lower in the LPS group than those in I/R group(P
