ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane on HIF-1α/epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)pathway activity and invasion of lung cancer in rats undergoing one lung ventilation (OLV). Methods Lung cancer model of SD rats was established. Rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:group control(group C), group two lungs ventilation(TLV)(group T),group one lungs ventilation(group O),and group sevoflurane +one lungs ventilation(group SO). Two lung ventilation was performed after endotracheal intubation for 2.5 h in group T. OLV was performed after endotracheal intubation for 2 h in group O and SO. The end-expiratory concentration of sevoflurane of rats in group SO was maintained 2.6% during OLV period. Left lung cancer tissues were harvested at 0.5 h of TLV. The protein levels of HIF-1α,Vimentin and Fibronectin in lung cancer were determined by Western blot. The mRNA levels of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in lung cancer were evaluated by RT-PCR. Results The expres-sions of HIF-1α,Vimentin,Fibronectin,MMP-2,and MMP-9 in group O and group SO were significantly higher than those in group C and group T(P<0.05). The expressions of HIF-1α,Vimentin,Fibronectin,MMP-2,and MMP-9 were decreased significantly in group SO as compared with group O(P<0.05). Conclusion Sevoflurane inhibits the elevation of HIF-1α/EMT pathway activity and invasion ability induced by OLV.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effect of intrathecal injection of TRESK overexpression adenoviruson phosphorylation of JNK and apoptosis of neurons in neuropathic pain rats.Methods Seventy-two male SD rats were randomly divided into six groups:groups C,S,NP,T,V,and NS,12 for each group.SNI was administrated to rats in groups NP,T,V and NS.TRESK adenovirus and negative virus were intrathecally injected after use of SNI in groups T and V,while equal volume of NS was injected to rats in group NS.MWT and TWL were measured at 1 day before operation(baseline,BL)and at 1,3,7 and 14 days after operation (days 1,3,7,and 14).Six rats in each group were sacrificed at D7 to determinate the expression of TRESK protein of DRG.The other rats were sacrificed at D14 to determinate neural apoptosis and the expressions of caspase3 and p-JNK of DRG.Results As compared with groups C,S and T,the expression of TRESK protein was significantly decreased at D7 in groups NP,NS and V (P＜0.05).Compared with groups C and S,MWT was significantly decreased at days 1,3,7 and 14 (P＜0.05),phosphorylation of JNK in DRG was significantly increased at D14 (P＜0.05),neuronal apoptosis rate and expressions of Caspase3 of DRG were significantly increased at D14 (P＜0.05) in groups NP,T,NS and V.Compared with groups NP,V and NS,MWT was significantly increased at time points of days 1,3,7 and 14 in group T (P＜0.05),phosphorylation of JNK of in DRG was significantly decreased at D14 in group T (P＜0.05),neuronal apoptosis rate and expression of Caspase3 of DRG were significantly decreased at D14 in group T (P＜0.05).Intrathecal injection ofpAd/CMV/VS-DEST-TRESK obviously reduced mechanical hyperalgesia,upregulated TRESK expression,and lowered JNK phosphorylation and NP in SNI rat.Conclusions Intrathecal injection of TRESK over expression adenovirus relieves NP via inhibiting JNK activation and neuronal apoptosis.
