摘要:

目的 探讨七氟醚通过调节活性氧(ROS)/硫氧还蛋白相互作用蛋白(TXNIP)/核苷酸结合寡聚化结构域样受体蛋白3(NLRP3)通路对脊髓损伤大鼠神经细胞炎症的影响。方法 72只大鼠以随机数字表法分为模型组(构建脊髓损伤模型),假手术组,低、中、高浓度(分别为1%、2%、4%七氟醚)七氟醚组,联合组(4%七氟醚+3.7 mg/kg ROS激活剂三甲胺N-氧化物),每组12只。脊髓损伤行为学(BBB)评分、足迹印记试验评价运动功能;酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)检测脊髓组织白细胞介素(IL)-18、肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、IL-1β水平;HE染色观察脊髓组织病理变化;TUNEL检测细胞凋亡;qRT-RCR检测TXNIP、NLRP3 mRNA表达;ROS试剂盒检测ROS活性;Western blot检测ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3通路蛋白表达。结果 假手术组步态、细胞形态正常、排列有序,脊髓结构完好;模型组有脚趾拖动、脊髓组织损伤严重,炎性细胞浸润;模型组较假手术组BBB评分降低,IL-18、TNF-α、IL-1β水平、凋亡率、ROS活性升高,TXNIP和NLRP3 mRNA及蛋白表达升高(P<0.05);低、中、高浓度七氟醚组较模型组上述指标改善;联合组则反转高浓度七氟醚组的改善结果。结论 七氟醚可能通过抑制ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3通路减轻脊髓损伤大鼠神经细胞炎症。

Abstract:

Objective To investigate the effect of sevoflurane on neuroinflammation in rats with spinal cord injury by regulating the reactive oxygen species (ROS)/thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) pathway. Methods Seventy-two rats were randomly divided into six groups using a random number table method, with 12 rats in each group: the model group (establishing the rat model of spinal cord injury), the sham operation group, the low-, medium- and high-concentration sevoflurane groups (1%, 2% and 4% sevoflurane, respectively) and the combination group (4% sevoflurane + 3.7 mg/kg reactive oxygen species (ROS) activator trimethylamine N-oxide). Spinal cord injury behavior (BBB) score and footprint imprint test were used to evaluate motor function. ELISA method was used to detect the levels of IL-18, TNF-α and IL-1β in spinal cord tissue. HE staining was used to detect pathological changes in spinal cord tissue. TUNEL method was used to detect cell apoptosis. In addition, the expression of TXNIP and NLRP3 mRNA were detected by qRT-PCR. ROS activity was detected by ROS kit. Western blot assay was used to detect the expression of ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway proteins. Results The sham operation group showed normal gait, normal cell morphology with orderly arrangement and intact spinal cord structure. The model group presented with toe dragging, severe spinal cord tissue injury and inflammatory cell infiltration. The BBB score was lower in the model group compared to that of the sham surgery group, while IL-18, TNF-α, IL-1β levels, apoptosis rate, ROS activity, TXNIP, NLRP3 mRNA and protein expression were increased (P<0.05). The above indexes were improved in the low-concentration, medium-concentration and high-concentration sevoflurane groups compared with those in the model group. However, the combined group reversed the improvement results of the high-concentration sevoflurane group. Conclusion Sevoflurane can alleviate neuroinflammation in rats with spinal cord injury by inhibiting the ROS/TXNIP/NLRP3 pathway.
