Protective effect of creatine phosphate on isolated rat liver against cold preservation / 器官移植

ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the protective effect of creatine phosphate (CP)on isolated rat liver against cold preservation.Methods Isolated perfused rat liver model under simple cold preservation was established.The liver of the control group was perfused with pure University of Wisconsin (UW)solution. With UW solution as the base fluid,the liver of the low-dose group was perfused with 1 g/100 ml CP in UW solution;the liver of the middle-dose group was perfused with 2 g/100 ml CP in UW solution;the liver of the high-dose group was perfused with 3 g/100 ml CP in UW solution.The livers of each group were cold preserved in the corresponding perfusion fluid at 4 ℃.The content of alanine aminotransferase (ALT)and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)in preservation solution in infrahepatic vena cava were determined.The content of malondialdehyde (MDA)and activity of myeloperoxidase (MPO)in liver tissues were detected.The apoptosis index (AI)of liver cells in liver tissues and positive expression rate of NF-κB in liver tissues were observed. Pathologic changes of liver tissues were observed under optical microscope.Results At 12 h after the cold preservation,the content of ALT and LDH in the rat livers of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P <0.05).At 18 h after the cold preservation,the content of MDA and MPO in the liver tissues of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P <0.05).At 12 h and 18 h after the cold preservation,AI and positive expression rate of NF-κB in liver cells in the rat livers of low-,middle-and high-dose groups were lower than those of the control group (all in P<0.05).At 24 h after the cold preservation,the content of ALT and MDA in preservation solution of the high-dose group was obviously higher than that of the control group as well as the low-and middle-dose groups (all in P <0.05).The results of pathological examination indicated that the injuries to the livers of the high-,middle-and low-dose groups were obviously lighter than that of the control group.There was no obvious difference among each dose group.Conclusions CP in UW solution may well protect the isolated rat liver against cold preservation,which is better than pure UW solution.
