    摘要

    目的:探讨活性维生素D3(vitamin D3,Vit D3)对内毒素(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导小鼠急性肝损伤的保护作用及机制。方法:将40只雄性C57BL/6小鼠随机分成4组:对照组、Vit D3组、模型组(LPS组)和治疗组(LPS+ Vit D3组),每组 10只。模型组和治疗组给予15 mg/kg LPS腹腔注射建立脓毒血症小鼠急性肝损伤模型。Vit D3组和治疗组小鼠在注射LPS后即刻(0 h)、8 h、16 h,给予Vit D3(2.5 μg/kg)灌胃,对照组和模型组给予等体积生理盐水灌胃。24 h后水合氯醛麻醉处死小鼠, 收集小鼠的血液和肝脏用于后续实验。结果:与模型组比较,Vit D3可降低血清和肝脏丙氨酸氨基转移酶(alanine aminotrans⁃ ferase,ALT)和天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(aspartate aminotransferase,AST)水平,提高肝组织抗氧化酶活性,减轻肝脏病理改变。 与模型组相比,Vit D3降低了血清中肿瘤坏死因子α(tumor necrosis factor⁃α,TNF⁃α)和白细胞介素⁃1(interleukin⁃1,IL⁃1)的水平。此外,与模型组相比,Vit D3下调了肝组织中IL⁃1β、TNF⁃α、NF⁃κB p65 和 NF⁃κB p50的表达,上调了肝组织中核因子E2相关因子2(nuclear factor⁃erythroid 2p45⁃relatec factor 2,Nrf2)、血红素加氧酶⁃1(heme oxygenase⁃1,HO⁃1)和维生素D受体(vitamin D receptor,VDR)的表达。结论:Vit D3对LPS诱导的小鼠急性肝损伤具有保护作用,这一效果可能部分是VDR通路抑制氧化应激和炎症所致。

    Abstract

    Objective:The aim of the present study was to investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of of vitamin D3(Vit D3)on lipopolysaccharide(LPS)⁃induced liver injury in mice. Methods:Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups(n= 10)as follows:control group,vitamin D3 group(Vit D3),model group(LPS),and treatment group(LPS+Vit D3). Acute liver injury of mice in model group and treatment group was induced by the intraperitoneal injection of 15 mg/kg LPS. Mice in Vit D3 group and treatment group were given 2.5 μg/kg vitamin D3 at the time points of 0 h,8 h,16 h after LPS injection,while mice in the control and model groups were treated with an equivalent volume of 0.9% sodium chloride solution. After 24 h,all mice were anesthetized with chloral hydrate. Blood and livers of mice were collected for subsequent experiments. Results:Vitamin D3 decreased the levels of alanine aminotransferase(ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase(AST)in serum,increased the activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver tissues compared with those in the model group and attenuated liver pathologic changes. In addition,vitamin D3 downregulated the serum levels of tumor necrosis factor⁃α(TNF⁃α),interleukin ⁃1β(IL⁃1β)compared with those in the model group. Meanwhile, vitamin D3 downregulated the protein expression of IL⁃1β,TNF⁃α,NF⁃κB p65 and NF⁃κB p50,upregulated the expression of nuclear factor⁃erythroid 2p45⁃related factor 2(Nrf2),heme oxygenase⁃1(HO⁃1)and vitamin D receptor(VDR)in liver tissues compared with those in the model group. Conclusion:Vitamin D3 showed a protective effect against LPS ⁃induced acute liver injury in mice,which may be partly due to the inhibition of oxidative stress and inflammation via the VDR pathway

  • 脓毒血症是一种由病原菌、创伤、外科感染等因素引起的全身性炎症反应综合征(systemic in⁃ flammative reaction syndrome,SIRS),其特点是对感染性损伤的全身炎症反应。这一过程往往导致广泛的组织损伤和多器官功能障碍,而急性肝损伤 (acute liver injury,ALI)是其最常见的并发症[1-2]。既往研究表明,内毒素脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide, LPS)是引起急性肝损伤的主要因素[3],LPS可以显著上调炎性细胞因子的表达,如肿瘤坏死因子α (tumor necrosis factor α,TNF⁃α)和白细胞介素⁃1β (interleukin⁃1β,IL⁃1β),而这些细胞因子会引起严重的肝组织损伤[4-5]。此外,氧化应激也被认为在ALI的发生发展中起到重要作用[6]。肝脏中活性氧自由基(reactive oxygen species,ROS)的过量产生会破坏细胞的结构和功能完整性,导致广泛的肝细胞破坏[7]。到目前为止,仍旧缺乏治疗ALI的有效手段。因此,阐明ALI的病理机制,是亟待解决的问题。

  • 活性维生素D3(vitamin D3,Vit D3)是一种脂溶性维生素,1,25(OH)2 D3是其活性形式[8-9]。研究表明,Vit D3的缺乏与脓毒症的病死率和机械性通气的持续时间显著相关[10-11]。既往研究发现1,25(OH)2D3的生物学效应主要是由维生素D受体(vitamin D re⁃ ceptor,VDR)介导,VDR在许多细胞中表达,包括巨噬细胞、心肌细胞、血管平滑肌细胞、内皮细胞等; 而Vit D3通过VDR调控细胞增殖、抗炎、抗氧化等信号通路[12]。大量研究证实Vit D3对ALI具有治疗作用,而其潜在机制尚不清楚[13-14]

  • 因此,本研究旨在阐明Vit D3对LPS诱导小鼠ALI的保护机制,为临床治疗ALI提供新思路。

  • 2 结果

  • 2.1 Vit D3显著改善肝脏损伤

  • Vit D3处理显著改善小鼠的生存率(图1A)。与对照组相比,LPS组血清ALT和AST的水平显著增加(P< 0.01,图1B、C)。而Vit D3处理后,这一改变得到逆转。HE染色被用来评估肝损伤程度。对照组和Vit D3组肝组织结构完整清晰,而LPS组的肝组织结构混乱,炎细胞浸润显著增多,而这些变化被Vit D3所抑制(图1D)。Vit D3处理后小鼠的肾功能也得到保护(表1)。

  • 2.2 Vit D3通过Nrf2/HO⁃1通路改善肝细胞氧化损伤

  • 镜下可以观察到对照组、Vit D3组肝细胞中正常的线粒体形态,而LPS组线粒体肿胀明显,甚至可以观察到线粒体空泡变性,线粒体嵴消失,Vit D3治疗显著抑制了这些变化(图2A)。进一步对MDA和抗氧化酶活性的检测发现,与对照组和Vit D3组相比,LPS组MDA水平显著增加(P< 0.01),SOD、GST、 GR、GPX和CAT的活性显著下降(P< 0.01),而这一LPS诱导的氧化损伤被Vit D3所逆转(P< 0.01,图2B~G)。Nrf2/HO⁃1通路在氧化损伤中起到重要作用,进一步研究发现,与LPS组相比,LPS+Vit D3组Nrf2和HO⁃1的表达显著增加(P< 0.01,图2H~J)。

  • 2.3 Vit D3处理减少炎症损伤

  • 炎性细胞因子,如TNF⁃α、IL⁃1β在LPS诱导的ALI起到关键作用。与LPS组相比,血清TNF⁃α和IL⁃ 1β的水平在Vit D3处理后显著下调(P< 0.01,图3A、B),而肝组织中TNF⁃α和IL⁃1β的蛋白水平与血清中一致(图3C~F)。结果显示,在LPS处理后,肝组织中NF⁃κB p65和p50显著升高(P< 0.01),而Vit D3处理逆转了这一改变(P< 0.01,图3G~I)。

  • 2.4 Vit D3治疗对肝脏核VDR水平的影响

  • 如前文所述,Vit D3主要通过VDR发挥作用,因此进一步探究了VDR的表达水平。与对照组相比,LPS组VDR表达显著减少(P< 0.01),Vit D3处理后,VDR表达水平上调(P< 0.01,图4)。

  • 3 讨论

  • ALI是一种病死率高、危及生命的临床综合征[1]。Vit D3具有多种药理作用,例如抗氧化、抗炎等[16]。本研究揭示了Vit D3对LPS诱导的ALI具有保护作用,Vit D3处理可以显著改善LPS诱导的肝损伤,减少氧化应激,降低炎症水平。这些发现表明Vit D3是一种有吸引力的治疗ALI的药物。

  • 图1 Vit D3对LPS诱导急性肝损伤血清转氨酶水平及组织病理学改变的影响

  • Fig.1 The effect of Vit D3on serum transaminase level and histopathological changes in LPS⁃induced acute liver injury

  • 表1 各组小鼠体重及肾功能

  • Table1 The body weight and kidney function in each group

  • LPS是革兰阴性细菌所分泌内毒素的主要成分,可通过刺激包括巨噬细胞在内的免疫细胞释放炎症因子,从而使肝细胞发生凋亡与坏死,LPS诱导的ALI动物模型被广泛使用,用于探讨和评价肝保护剂的疗效[17-18]。本研究中LPS注射导致小鼠血清ALT和AST水平升高,肝脏发生病理改变,提示LPS引起了肝脏损伤。与此同时,Vit D3处理显著降低了血清AST和ALT水平,缓解了系统炎症水平,抑制了肝脏氧化损伤和炎症。同时本研究发现,Vit D3处理后,Scr和BUN水平显著下降,这与之前的研究一致,说明了Vit D3对LPS诱导的急性肾损伤具有显著的保护作用[15]。这些结果表明,Vit D3的保护机制可能并非是器官特异性的,而是涉及不同器官间广泛存在的抗损伤通路。

  • 肝损伤的发生与炎症细胞因子的产生密切相关,既往研究表明,LPS诱导的肝损伤涉及炎症反应[19]。 LPS激活炎症细胞,如Kupffer细胞等,释放过量的促炎细胞因子,如TNF⁃α 和IL⁃1β,而这些促炎细胞因子的释放是触发炎症反应的关键步骤[20-21]。因此,本研究测定了血清和肝脏组织中TNF⁃α 和IL⁃ 1β 的水平,结果显示Vit D3明显抑制LPS诱导的TNF⁃α 和IL⁃1β上调。

  • NF⁃κB广泛参与了炎症反应,一旦被LPS激活, IκB磷酸化和降解,释放NF ⁃κB进入细胞核调节TNF⁃α等炎性细胞因子的表达。最近的一项研究证实,NF⁃κB通路在LPS诱导ALI中起到重要作用[15]。因此,我们研究了Vit D3对NF⁃κB激活的影响。结果表明,服用Vit D3显著抑制了NF⁃κB p65和p50蛋白的表达,从而提示Vit D3对ALI的炎症抑制可能是通过抑制NF⁃κB通路实现的。

  • 氧化应激引起的ROS产生和线粒体功能障碍是LPS诱导ALI的另一可能机制[22]。氧化应激被认为在ALI的发展过程中发挥了重要的病理生理作用[23]。既往研究证实,Nrf2在诱导抗氧化酶如SOD、GST、GR、GPX、CAT对抗氧化应激中发挥重要作用,同样的,HO⁃1的表达受转录因子Nrf2控制,近期研究表明Nrf2信号通路在LPS诱导的ALI中发挥保护作用[24-25]。本研究结果显示,Vit D3增加了Nrf2和HO⁃1的表达,降低了肝组织MDA水平,提高了SOD、GST、GR、CAT和GPX等酶的活性,减轻了LPS诱导的肝脏线粒体损伤。

  • 图2 Vit D3对LPS诱导急性肝损伤线粒体损伤和氧化应激的影响

  • Fig.2 Effects of Vit D3on mitochondrial injury and oxidative stress induced by LPS in acute liver injury

  • 图3 Vit D3对LPS诱导急性肝损伤炎症反应的影响

  • Fig.3 Effects of Vit D3on LPS⁃induced acute liver injury

  • 本研究结果揭示了,在LPS诱导的ALI模型中, Vit D3具有抗氧化和抗炎作用,然而其潜在机制尚不清楚。众所周知,Vit D3的效用主要由VDR介导[10],而研究表明,VDR在炎症和氧化应激调控中发挥重要作用。据此我们推测,在LPS诱导的ALI中,Vit D3的保护作用主要是由VDR介导的。本研究结果提示,与对照组相比,LPS组肝组织中VDR的蛋白表达显著下降,Vit D3处理后,VDR表达明显上调。因此,本研究初步证实了使用Vit D3是治疗ALI行之有效的办法,并且从炎症和氧化应激两个方面初步解析了其作用机制。

  • 图4 各组小鼠肝组织中VDR表达比较

  • Fig.4 Comparison of VDR expression in liver tissues of mice in each group

  • 综上所述,Vit D3能显著抑制血清中ALT和AST的水平,并能显著抑制组织病理学改变,此外, Vit D3可以抑制氧化应激和炎症,而这一效果可能由VDR通路介导。这些结果都表明,Vit D3可能成为治疗急性脓毒血症肝损伤的候选药物。
