Effects of volume resuscitation with different fluids on expression of aquaporin 1 in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells of endotoxemic rats / 中华麻醉学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the effects of volume resuscitation with different fluids on expression of aquaporin 1 (AQP-1) in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells of endotoxemic rats.Methods Fifty pathogen-free male Sprague-Dawley,rats,weighing 250-300 g,aged 6-8 weeks,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =10 each)control group (group C),lipopolysaccharide group (group LPS),NaCl group (group NS),6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 group (group HES) and hypertonic hydroxyethyl starch 40 group (group HSH).Sepsis was induced with LPS 5 mg/kg injected via the femoral vein.At l0 min after the model was successfully established,the corresponding fluids were infused into the femoral vein at a constant speed (15 ml/kg over 6 h) via a pump.At 0,3 and 6 h after LPS administration,blood samples were collected from the femoral artery for measurement of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) concentrations and for blood gas analysis.PaO2 and lactate (Lac) concentrations were recorded and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was calculated.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h after LPS administration,and lungs were removed for determination of AQP-1 expression in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells and wet-to-dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio),and for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored.Results Compared with group C,W/D ratio,serum TNF-α and Lac concentrations,and pathological scores were significantly increased,AQP-1 expression was down-regulated,and PaO2 and oxygenation index were decreased in LPS,NS,HES and HSH groups.Compared with group LPS,W/D ratio,serum TNF-a and Lac concentrations,and pathological scores were significantly decreased,AQP-1 expression was up-regulated,and PaO2 and oxygenation index were increased in NS,HES and HSH groups.Compared with group NS,W/D ratio,serum TNF-α and Lac concentrations,and pathological scores were significantly decreased,AQP-1 expression was up-regulated,and PaO2 and oxygenation index were increased in HES and HSH groups.Compared with group HES,the blood Lac concentrations were significantly decreased,and no significant changes were found in the other parameters in group HSH.Conclusion Volume resuscitation with NaC1,hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and hypertonic hydroxyethyl starch 40 can reduce the lung injury effectively in endotoxemic rats,and hypertonic hydroxyethyl starch 40 provides more significant efficacy,and up-regulated AQP-1 expression in pulmonary capillary endothelial cells is involved in the mechanism.
