Inhibition of nuclear factor-?B attenuating graft reperfusion injury during liver transplantation / 第二军医大学学报

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of nuclear factor ?B inhibition on liver graft reperfusion injury during transplantation.Methods:Orthotopic liver transplantation using modified cuff technique was established in rats,animals were divided according to the grafts cold storaged in 4℃ Ringer's lactated solution with(PDTC group)or without 0.1 mol/L PDTC(control group)for 6 h.During the early stage of reperfusion,DNA binding activities of NF ?B in liver grafts were analyzed by EMSA(electrophoretic mobility shift assay),mRNA level of TNF ? and ICAM 1 by RT PCR,and activities of ALT and LDH were also detected.Results:NF ?B in liver grafts was activated at early stage of reperfusion during transplantation; PDTC treated liver displayed lower activation of NF ?B 1 h after reperfusion,whereas no difference was shown between 2 groups 6 h after reperfusion.Up regulation of TNF ? and ICAM 1 transcription,high level of ALT and LDH activities were observed in both groups during reperfusion,whereas the transcriptional up regulation and the activities of ALT and LDH in PDTC group were reduced compared with those of control group( P
