文题释义:
TOLL样受体4(TLR4):人类发现的第1个TOLL样受体相关蛋白,由TOLL样受体4基因编码的一种蛋白质,参与激活固有免疫。它可以识别许多革兰阴性细菌的脂多糖(LPS),也可以选择性识别革兰阳性菌,它的配体也包括一些病毒蛋白、多糖及多种内源性蛋白质(如低密度脂蛋白,热休克蛋白等)。
瓦勒变性:即由于各种创伤、牵拉、缺血、高低温、电击等原因,直接使神经纤维受损中断,周围神经损伤后远段发生的轴突坏死、髓鞘分解消失和神经鞘膜增生等一系列蜕变和细胞吞噬过程。
摘要
背景:
外周神经损伤后发生瓦勒变性,其机制复杂,从免疫学角度对其进行调控可以影响神经早期修复效果。
目的:分析特异性拮抗Toll样受体4(TLR4)对于大鼠坐骨神经损伤早期瓦勒变性及轴突再生的影响。
方法:将50只Wistar大鼠随机分成3组:处理组及模型组横断大鼠右侧坐骨神经后,行神经外膜端端吻合;假手术组仅游离出坐骨神经,然后关闭切口。术前1 h及术后7 d处理组大鼠每天尾静脉注射0.15 mg/kg Toll样受体4拮抗剂TAK-242,模型组及假手术组大鼠尾静脉注射同等体积生理盐水。于术后24 h、3 d、4 d和7d取术侧坐骨神经。
结果与结论:①实时定量PCR显示,与假手术组相比,术后24 h模型组白细胞介素1β mRNA和单核细胞趋化蛋白1 mRNA的表达均明显升高(P < 0.001,P < 0.001),与模型组相比,术后24 h处理组白细胞介素1β mRNA和单核细胞趋化蛋白1 mRNA的表达明显降低(P < 0. 001,P < 0. 001);②免疫荧光可见,与模型组相比,术后3 d处理组中CD68+细胞和iba1+细胞表达均显著下调(P < 0. 01,P < 0.05);③固兰染色可见,在术后7 d,模型组和处理组坐骨神经断端均出现脱髓鞘反应,但与模型组相比,处理组神经断端髓鞘碎片清除率明显降低(P < 0.05);④苏木精-伊红染色可见,在术后7 d,模型组坐骨神经断端较多炎性细胞浸润,许旺细胞增殖活跃,神经纤维大量再生通过吻合口,断端修复正常,处理组神经断端炎性细胞较少,纤维组织增生较少,吻合口有缝隙,断端修复能力减弱;⑤免疫组织化学可见,与模型组相比,术后4 d处理组中生长相关蛋白43蛋白表达均显著下调(P < 0.05);⑥坐骨神经功能指数显示,与模型组相比,处理组大鼠在术后20,30和40 d同期比较明显降低,差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05)。⑦结果证实,Toll样受体4拮抗剂导致大鼠坐骨周围神经损伤早期再生延迟,其机制可能是抑制了瓦勒变性过程中的的Toll样受体4信号通路。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The mechanism underlying Wallerian degeneration following peripheral nerve injury is complex. Immune regulation on Wallerian degeneration is beneficial for early repair of perpheral nerve injury.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) antagonist on Wallerian degeneration and axonal regeneration after early peripheral nerve injury in rats.
METHODS: Fifty male Wistar rats were recruited and randomly divided into treatment group (n=20), model group (n=20) and sham group (n=10). The right sciatic nerves of rats in treatment and model groups were cut and sutured end-to-end, while the sciatic nerves of rats in sham group were only exposed. In the treatment group rats were intravenously injected with 0.15 mg/kg TAK-242 via tail vein 1 hour preoperatively and 7 days postoperatively, and the rats in the other two groups were given intravenous injection of the same volume of normal saline. The sciatic nerves were removed at 24 hours, 3, 4 and 7 days after surgery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Real-time PCR indicated that the mRNA expressions of interleukin-1β and monocyte chemoattractant-1 were significantly increased in the model group compared with the sham group at 24 hours after surgery (both P < 0.001), while the expressions were significantly decreased after TAK-242 injection (both P < 0.001). Immunofluorescence showed that compared with the model group, down-regulated expression of CD68+ and iba1+ cells appeared in the treatment group at 3 days after surgery (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Luxol fast blue staining revealed that demyelination at the sciatic nerve stump appeared in both model and treatment groups at postoperative 7 days, but myelin debris clearance in the treatment group was significantly reduced compared with the model group (P < 0.05). Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that a lot of inflammatory cells, Schwann cells and regenerated nerve fibers at the sciatic nerve stump were found in the model group, while there were few inflammatory cells, Schwann cells and regenerated nerve fibers in the treatment group at 7 days after surgery. Immunohistochemistry found that the expression of growth-associated protein-43 in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the model group at 4 days postoperatively (P < 0.05). Besides, compared with the model group, a significantly decreased sciatic functional index was found in the treatment group at 20, 30 and 40 days after surgery (P < 0.05). These results show that TLR4 antagonists delay early nerve regeneration in rats after sciatic nerve injury probably by inhibiting the TLR4 signaling pathway.
