摘要: 目的: 研究不同水平正加速度(+Gz)重复暴露后,大鼠血清和肺泡灌洗液(BALF)中TNF-α和IL-1β含量及其在肺组织的mRNA表达水平的变化,探讨这两种致炎因子在+Gz重复暴露肺损伤中的可能作用。方法: 雄性Wistar大鼠20只,随机分为对照组(+1Gz)、+5Gz组、+10Gz组和+15Gz组。采用梯形加速度曲线,在动物离心机上离心,+1Gz、+5Gz和+10Gz各暴露90s,+15Gz暴露30s,均间隔30min重复3次。于暴露后4h取大鼠腹腔静脉血、BALF及肺组织,用放免法测定血清和BALF中IL-1β和TNF-α含量;用RT-PCR方法检测大鼠肺组织中TNF-α和IL-1βmRNA表达水平。结果: +Gz暴露后大鼠血清和BALF中TNF-α和IL-1β含量及其在肺组织中mRNA表达水平明显高于对照组,并随着+Gz强度的升高而升高。结论: 炎症介质TNF-α和IL-1β在+Gz暴露导致大鼠肺组织的生物性损伤中可能起着重要的作用。Abstract: Objective: To study the changes of content of TNF-α and IL-1β in rat serum and BALF and the mRNA expression level in rat lungs after repeated exposure to +Gz, so as to investigate the mechanism of lung injure induced by acceleration. Methods: 20 male health Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=5): normal control group(+1Gz), +5Gz group, +10Gz group and +15Gz group. Using animal’s centrifuge, the profile of the centrifuge +Gz exposure was trapezoidal, in which +15Gz group lasted for 30s and the other three groups lasted for 90s respectively. All single profiles were repeated 3 times with 30min interval. The blood sample, BALF and lung tissues were taken 4h after the last centrifuge run. The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in the serum and BALF were measured by radioimmunoassay and the mRNA expression levels in rat lungs were measured by semi-quantitative reverse transcription poly-merase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results: The contents of TNF-α and IL-1β in rat serum and BALF and the mRNA expression levels in the rat lungs 4h later after repeated exposure to +Gz were significantly higher than those in controls,and increased parallel with the +Gz. Conclusion: It demonstrated the inflammation mediators TNF-α and IL-1β maybe play an important role in the biological damage of rat lung induced by repeated +Gz exposure.
