摘要: 目的 探讨慢病毒介导的脯氨酰寡肽酶(POP)过表达对硫代乙酰胺(TAA)诱导的大鼠肝纤维化模型的影响。方法 40只雄性SD大鼠被随机分为4组,采用5%TAA诱导大鼠肝纤维化模型,各组分别在造模第1 w末门静脉注射生理盐水(正常对照组和TAA模型组)、空病毒(TAA模型+空病毒组)或携POP慢病毒(TAA模型+POP慢病毒组),在造模第4 w末处死动物,留取肝脏组织;采用苏木素-伊红(HE)染色及Masson染色观察肝脏病理形态学变化,采用化学比色法测定肝组织内羟脯氨酸含量,分别采用实时定量PCR或Western blot法检测POP mRNA表达或蛋白水平。结果 模型组POP蛋白相对表达量较正常对照组水平显著降低(P<0.05),而POP转基因组POP蛋白水平较其余三组均显著升高(P<0.01);POP mRNA相对表达变化与POP蛋白相一致。TAA模型组和空病毒组的纤维化评分多为Ⅱ级,肝纤维化半定量积分分别为(15.2±1.69)和(15.3±4.62),显著高于正常对照组(1.75土0.63)和POP慢病毒过表达载体组(7.75±2.71)(P<0.05);模型组和空病毒组肝组织羟脯氨酸含量分别为(504.47±111.15)μg/g肝质量和(498.32±90.87)μg/g肝质量,均显著高于正常对照组[(298.20±47.47) μg/g肝质量,P<0.05],而POP转基因组大鼠肝组织中羟脯氨酸含量为(383.52±43.49) μg/g肝质量,显著低于模型组和空病毒组(P<0.05)。结论 肝纤维化时肝组织内POP水平下调,慢病毒载体可成功介导POP在大鼠肝组织内过表达,抑制TAA诱导的大鼠肝纤维化,降低肝组织羟脯氨酸水平。

Abstract: Objective To investigate the effects of lentivirus-mediated prolyl oligopeptidase overexpression on thioacetamide (TAA)-induced liver fibrosis in rats. Methods 40 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into four groups. Thioacetamide(TAA,5%) was injected intraperitoneally to induce liver fibrosis in rats. After 1-week TAA/saline treatment,rats were given normal saline(normal control group and TAA model group),empty virus(TAA plus empty vector group),or lentivirus containing POP gene(lentivirus-POP) (TAA plus lentivirus-POP group);Rats were sacrificed 4 weeks after initial TAA/saline treatment; Pathological changes of the liver were examed by HE staining and Masson staining;Hydroxyproline content in liver tissues were detected by chemical colorimetric;Real-time PCR and Western blot were used to determinate POP mRNA expression and POP protein content in liver,respectively. Results Relative level of POP protein in model group was(0.123±0.04),significantly decreased compared with normal control[(0.189±0.052),P<0.05];POP protein level in rats received lentivirus-POP was(0.304±0.044),significantly higher than that of other groups(P<0.01);the changes in POP mRNA expression was similar with POP protein content. The fibrosis grade in TAA model group and empty virus group were mostly of S2,and the semi-quantitative analysis of the fibrotic tissue by Masson staining were (15.2±1.69) and (15.3±4.62),respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the normal controls and TAA plus lentivirus-POP group[(1.75土0.63) and(7.75±2.71),P<0.05];Hydroxyproline content in model group and empty virus group were[(504.47±111.15) μg/g wet liver weight] and[(498.32±90.87) μg/g wet liver weight],respectively, significantly higher than that of the normal controls[(298.20±47.47) μg/g wet liver weight,P<0.05],while hydroxyproline content in TAA plus lentivirus-POP group was[(383.52±43.49) μg/g TAA wet liver weight],significantly lower than those of model group and empty virus group(P<0.05). Conclusions POP expression decreases in fibrotic liver induced by TAA;POP can be successfully overexpressed in rat liver by lentivirus containing POP genes,attenuates TAA-induced liver fibrosis and decreases hydroxyproline content in the rat liver.
