IL-13对大鼠急性肾缺血再灌注时IL-1β表达的影响

目的:观察IL-13对急性肾缺血再灌注时IL-1β表达的影响。方法:Wistar雄性大鼠57只,随机分为8组:正常组(normal);假手术组(sham);缺血组:(I)缺血再灌注组(I/R);治疗对照组-1(C-1);治疗对照组-2(C-2);治疗组-1(T-1)和治疗组-2(T-2)。阻断大鼠双侧肾脏血流45min再灌注24h建立急性肾缺血再灌注模型;治疗组分别于阻断血流前、后分别从双侧肾动脉开口注射入1.5μg/50gbw鼠重组白细胞介素13(rmIL-13);检测各组大鼠IL-1β血清水平和肾脏表达,以及肾功能和肾脏病理。结果:(1)治疗组肾脏IL-1β基因(TtoC:P＜0.01)和蛋白表达(T-1toC-1:P＜0.01;T-2toC-2:P＜0.05)明显减少,血清IL-1β水平明显下降;(2)肾功能障碍和肾组织病理变化明显减轻,肾小管损害评分减少(C-1toT-1:45.20±8.64to21.05±8.82,P＜0.01;C-2toT-2:42.25±11.15to23.25±7.31,P＜0.01);(3)血清IL-1β水平与BUN、Cr成正相关(r=0.708,P＜0.01;r=0.770,P＜0.01)。结论:IL-13能有效地抑制大鼠急性肾缺血再灌注损伤IL-1β的表达。

Effect of IL- 13 on expression of IL- 1β in acute renal ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats

AIM:To investigate the effects of IL-13 on expression of IL-1β in acute renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.METHODS:Fifty-seven male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 8 group: normal group, sham operation group, ischemia group, ischemia/reperfusion injury group(I/R), normal saline(NS)-treated group 1(C-1), NS-treated group 2(C-2), IL-13-treated group1(T-1)and IL-13-treated group 2(T-2).Rats were subjected to 45 min bilateral renal ischemia followed by reperfusion. rmIL-13 (1.5 μg/50 g body weight )was injected into the renal arteries through the abdominal aorta before ischemia(T-1) or immediately afterischemia(T-2).The serum level of IL-1β and the renal expression of IL-1β were determined in each group at 24 h post-ischemia. In addition, BUN, Cr and renal histology were also measured.RESULTS:(1)The serum level of IL-1β, gene expression and protein production of IL-1β in kidney decreased markedly in IL-13-treated groups.(2)Renal function and histology were significantly improved in IL-13-treated groups, renal injury scores decreased significantly.(3)A positive correlation were found between the serum level of IL-1β and BUN, SCr(r=0.708, P＜0.01;r=0.770, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION:These data suggest that IL-13 inhibit the expression of IL-1βand improve func-tion and histology of kidney in acute renal ischemia/reperfusion injury.
