Changes of Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 gene expression in lungs with acute injury induced by acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis in rats / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of Toll-like receptor 2 and 4 gene expression in lungs with acute injury induced by acute hemorrhagic necrotizing pancreatitis(AHNP) in rats.Methods Forty SD male rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group(n=10),and AHNP group(n=30).Of all the rats,the lungs were dissected for lung histological scores and bronchoalveolar lavages were harvested for lung injury index.TLR2,4mRNA expression in the lungs was measured by RT-PCR at different time points.(Results) TLR2,4mRNA could be detected in lungs with low values in sham-operated group;but they were markedly increased at 3 hours in AHNP group,peaking at 6~12 hours(P
