Abstract:
Objective:To evaluate the relationship between protein kinase C-delta (PKCδ) and pyroptosis during ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) in rats.Methods:Thirty-six clean-grade healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were divided into 3 groups ( n=12 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), group VILI, and VILI plus specific PKCδ inhibitor KAI 9803 group (group K). Phosphate buffer solution 200 μl was injected through the tracheal tube after intubation in group VILI, and KAI 9803 200 μg/kg was given instead in group K. The patients were mechanically ventilated (tidal volume 40 ml/kg, respiratory rate 60 breaths/min, inspiratory/expiratory ratio 1∶2, fraction of inspired oxygen 21%, positive end-expiratory pressure 0) for 4 h. Blood samples were taken from the femoral artery at the end of mechanical ventilation for blood gas analysis, and PaO 2 was recorded.Animals were sacrificed at the end of ventilation, lung tissues were removed, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was prepared.The total protein concentrations in BALF were measured by coomassie blue staining, and concentrations of interleukin-18 (IL-18) and IL-1β in BALF by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Lung tissues were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored and for determination of wet/dry weight ratio (W/D ratio) and expression of PKCδ and gasdermin D N terminal fragment (GSDMD-N) protein and mRNA (by Western blot or by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction). Results:Compared with group C, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, and concentrations of total protein, IL-18 and IL-1β in BALF were significantly increased, PaO 2 was decreased, and the expression of PKCδ and GSDMD-N protein and mRNA was up-regulated in VILI and K groups ( P<0.01). Compared with group VILI, the lung injury score, W/D ratio, and concentrations of total protein, IL-18 and IL-1β in BALF were significantly decreased, PaO 2 was increased, and the expression of PKCδ and GSDMD-N protein and mRNA was down-regulated in group K ( P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusion:PKCδ can mediates the pathophysiological process of VILI in which pyrolysis is involved in rats.
