ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the potential role and changes of CD14, TNF-ct and IL-10 in liver in Vibrio vulnificus septic rats, and detect the intervention effects of eefoperazone sodium combined with levofloxacin. Methods To make Vibrio vulnificus sepsis model (VV group) and drug intervention model (AA group) in rats, the expression of CD14, TNF-α, IL-10 in liver were detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with normal control (NC) group,CD14 mRNA and TNF-α mRNA expression increased markedly at 2, 6, 9, 12, 16 h in VV group (P<0.05), IL-10 mRNA raised greatly at 9, 12, 16 in VV group (P<0.05). CD14 mRNA expression was also rised in AA group at 9 h(P<0.05). TNF-α mRNA at 9, 12 h and IL-10 mRNA at 9, 12, 16 h in the AA group increased (P<0.05). Compared with VV groups, CD14 mRNA expression diminished greatly at 9, 12, 16 h in AA group (P <0.05), TNF-α mRNA and IL-10 mRNA diminished in the AA group at 16 h(P<0.05). Conclusion The treatment with cefoperazone sodium and levofloxacin may reduce expression of CD14, TNF-α and IL-10 in liver of rats with VV sepsis, it may inhibit the level of pro-inflammatory/anti-inflammatory cytokines, thereby regulating the balance of the inflammatory response in VV sepsis.
