Abstract:
Objective:To study the effect of growth hormone(GH) on acute lung injury induced by endotoximia and its’ mechanism.Methods:After introduction of acute lung injury(ALI) by endotoximia,one hundred and tweleve male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into ALI group and GH group. Western blot,immunofluorescence staining and semi-quantitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) were used to determine the expression and activation of nuclear factor kappa B(NF-?B), the levels of CC16 protein and the expression levels of CC16 mRNA in ALI rats’ lung.Results:Both the expression levels of CC16 mRNA and the contents of CC16 protein in ALI rats’ lungs began to decrease significantly 0.5 h post-injury,reached nadir at 6 h post-injury,and then began to recover.Both the expression levels of CC16 mRNA and the contents of CC16 protein in GH group were significantly lower than those in ALI group at different time intervals post-injury.The dynamic changes of the expression and activation of NF-?B were contrast to those of CC16 protein levels.Correlation analysis indicated that CC16 correlates significantly with the extent of lung injury and the expression and activation of NF-?B.Conclusion:Down-regulation of CC16 expression plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury induced by endotoximia.The application of GH can deteriorate the lung injury induced by endotoximia through down-regulating the expression of CC16.
