ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on gastric mucosal injury induced by intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 4-5 months,weighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =9 each) using a random number tablesham operation group (group S),intestinal I/R group (group I/R),low-dose dexmedetomidine group (group LD),and high-dose dexmedetomidine group (group HD).Intestinal I/R was produced by occlusion of the superior mesenteric artery for 1 h followed by 2 h reperfusion in anesthetized rats.Dexmedetomidine 2.5 and 5.0 μg · kg-1 · h-1 were infused via the caudal vein for 1 h starting from 1 h before ischemia in LD and HD groups,respectively.The rats were sacrificed at 2 h of reperfusion,and the gastric mucosa was obtained for examination of the pathological changes (with light microscope) and for determination of the expression of serine/threonine kinase (Akt),phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt),activated caspase-3 and caspase-3 (by Western blot).The ratio of p-Akt to Akt (p-Akt/Akt)was calculated to reflect the phosphorylation of Akt.The ratio of activated caspase-3 to easpase-3 (activated caspase-3/caspase-3) was calculated to reflect the activation of caspase-3.Results Compared with group S,the expression of Akt was significantly up-regulated,the expression of p-Akt was significantly downregulated,the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly decreased,and the activation of caspase-3 was significantly increased in group I/R,and the expression of p-Akt was significantly up-regulated,and the phosphorylation of Akt and activation of caspase-3 were significantly increased in LD and HD groups (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R,the expression of Akt was significantly down-regulated,the expression of p-Akt was significantly up-regulated,the phosphorylation of Akt was significantly increased,and the activation of caspase-3 was significantly decreased in LD and HD groups (P<0.05).The degree of gastric mucosal injury was significantly lower in LD and HD groups than in group I/R,and there was no significant difference in the degree of gastric mucosal injury between group LD and group HD.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can attenuate gastric mucosal injury induced by intestinal I/R,and the mechanism may be related to activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathways and inhibition of cell apoptosis in rats.
