Abstract:
Objective:To study the protective effects and possible mechanisms of tBHQ in rats exposed to acute silicadust.
Methods:Male Wistar rats without specific pathogen SPF were randomly divided into control group、model group and intervention group, 32 rats for each group. Rats in the model group and the intervention group were treated with a single non exposed tracheal dust method to establish the rats exposed to silica model. The intervention group was intervened with 1% tBHQ solution, once a day. Each group 8 rats were sacrificed at 3,14,28,60d, respectively.The contents of IL-1,TNF-α, HYP,TGF-β in the lung tissue of rats were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA), the contents of MDA and the GSH-PX activity in lung tissue and serum of rats were determined by colorimetry.
Results:Compared with the control group, the contents of IL-1 in the lung tissue of the model group and the intervention group at each time point increased with time, the contents of IL-1 of model group reached the maximum at 60d, the contents of IL-1 in intervention group reached the maximum at 28d(P<0.05), except 3 d. Compared with the control group, the contents of TGF-β and HYP in the lung tissue of the model group and the intervention group at 28 and 60 d increased with time and reached the maximum at 60d(P<0.05). Compared with the model group at each time point, the contents of IL-1, TGF-β, HYP in the intervention group were lower than those in the model group(P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the contents of MDA in lung tissue and serum of rats in model group and intervention group at different time points increased with time(P<0.05). Compared with the control group,the activity of GSH-PX in serum and lung tissue of rats in model group and intervention group decreased with time,there was no significant difference in 3d(P<0.05), compared with the control group, the activity of GSH-PX in the lung and serum tissue of in-tervenetion group was higher than model group except the 3d(P<0.05).
Conclusion:The intervention of tBHQ can alleviate oxidative stress in rats exposed to silica dust to some extent, improve the antioxidant capacity of the body, and reduce the contents of IL-1, TNF-α, TGF-β,HYP in lung tissue,it has acertain impediment and inhibition effect on the inflammation and fibrosis caused by acute silica dust exposure.
