摘要:

目的 探究CRISPR/Cas9技术靶向抑制去整合素-金属蛋白酶8(ADAM8)在小鼠急性酒精性肝损伤中的作用及分子机制。方法 18只6~8周龄健康雌性昆明小鼠根据随机数字表法分为正常组、酒精组和质粒组,每组6只。正常组不做处理,质粒组采用水流动力学注射法尾静脉注射利用CRISPR/Cas9技术抑制ADAM8基因的三合一重组质粒ADAM8-sgRNA3(3 g/kg),酒精组尾静脉注射等量生理盐水。酒精组和质粒组采用50%(V/V)分析纯乙醇一次性灌胃(14 mL/kg)诱导急性肝损伤。禁食16 h后进行眼球取血,检测丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)和天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)活性;苏木素-伊红(HE)和过碘酸-雪夫(PAS)染色检测肝脏损伤和糖原变化情况;蛋白免疫印迹法检测肝组织中ADAM8、细胞色素CYP450 2E1(CYP2E1)、热休克蛋白70(HSP70)及丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)通路相关因子的表达。结果 与正常组相比,酒精组ALT和AST升高,肝损伤评分增加,糖原含量减少,ADAM8、CYP2E1、磷酸化的细胞外调节蛋白激酶1/2(p-ERK1/2)、磷酸化的p38(p-p38)MAPK以及磷酸化的c-Jun氨基未端激酶(p-c-Jun)的表达升高,而HSP70的表达降低(P<0.05)。与酒精组相比,质粒组ALT和AST降低,肝损伤评分降低(P<0.05),糖原含量增多;ADAM8、CYP2E1、p-ERK1/2、p-p38 MAPK以及p-c-Jun的表达降低,HSP70的表达增加(P<0.05)。结论 利用CRISPR/Cas9技术靶向抑制ADAM8的表达,可以通过MAPK信号通路改善小鼠急性酒精性肝损伤。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role and molecular mechanism of CRISPR/Cas9 technology targeting the inhibition of disintegrin and metalloprotease 8 (ADAM8) in acute alcoholic liver injury in mice. Methods Eighteen healthy Kunming female mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into the normal group, the alcohol group and the plasmid group, with 6 mice in each group. The normal group was given no treatment, and the plasmid group was injected with three-in-one recombinant plasmid ADAM8-sgRNA3 (3 g/kg) by CRISPR/Cas9 technology to inhibit the ADAM8 gene using hydrodynamic injection tail vein method. The alcohol group was injected with an equal amount of physiological saline through tail vein. After 3 days of regular feeding, the alcohol group and the plasmid group were subjected with 50% (V/V) alcohol analytical grade ethanol by a one-time gavage (14 mL/kg) to induce acute liver injury. After fasting for 16 hours, eyeball blood sample was taken to detect activities of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST). Mice were euthanized and liver tissue was separated and extracted. Hematoxylin-Eosin staining (HE staining) and Periodic Acid-Schiff staining (PAS staining) were used to detect liver injury and glycogen changes in each group of mice. The expression levels of ADAM8, cytochrome CYP450 2E1 (CYP2E1), heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway related factors were detected by Western blot assay. Results Compared with the normal group, ALT and AST were increased, liver injury score was increased, glycogen content was decreased, ADAM8, CYP2E1, phosphorylated extracellular regulated kinase 1/2 (p-ERK1/2), phosphorylated p38 (p-p38) MAPK and phosphorylated c-Jun aminoterminal kinase (p-c-Jun) were increased in the alcohol group. The expression of HSP70 was decreased (P<0.05). Compared with alcohol group, ALT and AST were decreased, liver injury score was decreased in the plasmid group (P<0.05). Glycogen content was increased. ADAM8, CYP2E1, p-ERK1/2, p-P38 MAPK and p-c-Jun expression levels were decreased, while HSP70 expression was increased (P<0.05). Conclusion Targeted inhibition of ADAM8 expression by CRISPR/Cas9 technology can improve acute alcoholic liver injury in mice through MAPK signaling pathway.
