Abstract:
Objective To investigate effects of α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(α7nAChR)agonist PNU-282987 on intestinal injury and mitochondrial autophagy in sepsis mice.Methods A total of 30 male C57BL/6J mice were divided into control group,sepsis group and PNU-282987 group,10 mice each group.In PNU-282987 group,1mg/kg PNU-282987 was injected intraperitoneally 1h before and 2h after modeling,respectively.Intestinal tissue were taken back 24h after modeling,and pathological changes were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining and Chiu's score were made.Mitochondrial autophagy were observed by uranium acetate-lead citrate double staining,and α7nAChR,autophagy marker protein microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain(LC)3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ and Beclin-1,and mitochondrial autophagy-related protein PTEN-induced kinase(PINK)1 were detected by Western blot.Serum and ileum tissues were taken to detect interleukin(IL)-1β,IL-6,IL-10.Results Comparison of Beclin-1,LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰ,PINK 1 and Parkin in the mice ileum tissues among three groups,model group were higher than control group,and PNU-282987 group were higher than model group,the difference were statistically significant(P<0.05).Comparison of mice in Chiu's score among three groups,model group was higher than control group,and PNU-282987 group was lower than model group,the difference were significant(P<0.05).PNU-282987 group α7nAChR level in the mice ileal tissue was higher than model group,the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion α7nAChR agonist PNU-282987 improves intestinal injury in sepsis mice,activation of mitochondrial autophagy and reduction of inflammation in ileum may be the related molecular mechanism.
