摘要: 目的 探讨miR-322对高原肺动脉高压发生发展的影响及作用机制。方法 SPF级雄性SD大鼠40只,随 机数字表法分为4组(n=10),即常氧组、低氧组、空白病毒+低氧组(空载体组),miR-322抑制+低氧组(miR-322沉默 组),剔除实验过程中死亡大鼠后常氧组 10 只,低氧组、空载体组、miR-322 沉默组各 9 只。测定肺动脉氧分压 [p(O2 )]和平均肺动脉压(mPAP);HE染色观察肺组织变化;免疫荧光观察组织α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α-SMA)表达变 化;实时荧光定量PCR检测大鼠肺组织中miR-322和apelin mRNA基因表达;Western blot法检测大鼠肺组织中apelin 蛋白的表达。结果 低氧组和空载体组肺动脉p(O2 )、mPAP和肺组织各项指标差异均无统计学意义。与常氧组比 较,低氧组mPAP、α-SMA、apelin mRNA和蛋白以及miR-322 mRNA相对表达量均升高,p(O2 )下降(P<0.05);肺组织 破坏严重,大量炎症细胞浸润。与低氧组比较,miR-322 沉默组 mPAP 和 miR-322 mRNA 相对表达量均下降,α- SMA、p(O2 )以及apelin mRNA和蛋白相对表达量上升(P<0.05);肺组织损伤程度降低。结论 抑制miR-322表达可 促进高原肺动脉高压模型大鼠apelin的表达,进而降低高原肺动脉高压的上升程度。

Abstract: Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of miR-322 on the occurrence and development of pulmonary hypertension at high altitude. Methods Forty SPF male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10): normoxic group (Normoxia), hypoxia group (Hypoxia), blank virus + hypoxia group (no load group) and miR-322 inhibition + hypoxia group (miR-322 group). The dead rats during the experiment were excluded, and eventually there were 10 rats in normoxic group, 9 rats in hypoxia group, empty load group and miR-322 group respectively. The pulmonary arterial oxygen partial pressure [p (O2)] and mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) were measured. HE staining was used to observe the changes of lung tissue. The expression of α-SMA was observed by immunofluorescence. miR-322 and apelin mRNA gene expressions in rat lung tissues were detected by real-time PCR. The expression of apelin protein in rat lung tissue was detected by Western blot assay. Results There were no significant differences in p (O2), mPAP and indicators of lung tissues between hypoxia group and no-load group. Compared with the normoxic group, the relative expressions of mPAP, α- SMA, apelin protein and miR-322 were increased, and p (O2) was decreased in the hypoxia group (P<0.05). The lung tissues were severely damaged and a large number of inflammatory cells infiltrated. Compared with hypoxia group, the relative expressions of mPAP and miR-322 were decreased in miR-322 group, the p (O2) in pulmonary artery and the relative expression of apelin protein increased, α-SMA and lung tissue damage decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion The inhibition of miR-322 expression promotes the expression of apelin in rats with high altitude pulmonary hypertension and reduces the rise of high altitude pulmonary hypertension.
