摘要:

文题释义:
水通道蛋白:是一种高特异性水分子运输通道蛋白,在细胞膜上形成“孔道”,控制水和小分子溶质在组织中的运动,如同细胞的水泵一样,可以高速转运而且不受细胞种类、温度等因素限制。水通道蛋白广泛存在于自然界动植物及微生物,研究者发现10余种亚型存在于哺乳动物,不同亚型分布于不同组织内。
椎间盘退变:随着年龄增长,椎间盘退行性改变包括椎间盘纤维环、髓核以及软骨终板的退变,椎间盘退变时可出现脱水、积气、钙化、萎缩变薄、膨出、骨性终板硬化及椎体缘增生肥大等改变,从而导致脊柱不稳、椎间盘突出等多种病症,多发于颈椎、腰椎等部位。

背景:椎间盘的老化和病变与椎间盘缺乏血液供应营养密切相关。水通道蛋白在椎间盘营养供应中发挥重要作用,但具体作用机制尚未完全明确。

目的:基于水通道蛋白1、水通道蛋白3表达变化研究腰痹舒作用于兔椎间盘退变的机制。

方法:取36只新西兰大白兔,将生理盐水注入L4/5、L5/6椎间盘制备腰椎间盘突出症模型,然后随机分成模型组、低剂量腰痹舒组、高剂量腰痹舒组,术后8周,模型组灌胃生理盐水5 mL/(kg·d),低剂量腰痹舒组灌胃腰痹舒5 mL/(kg·d),高剂量腰痹舒组灌胃腰痹舒10 mL/(kg·d),2次/d,共21 d。治疗后6周,取L4/5、L5/6椎间盘分别进行解剖大体观察、组织切片苏木精-伊红染色、RT-PCR、Western blot检测,观察3组髓核组织外观形态、病理形态以及水通道蛋白1、水通道蛋白3 mRNA和蛋白表达。

结果与结论:①各组均可见纤维环破坏,出现异常软骨组织,髓核减少,高剂量腰痹舒组病变程度轻于低剂量腰痹舒组,模型组破坏最明显;②治疗6周,高剂量腰痹舒组、低剂量腰痹舒组水通道蛋白1、水通道蛋白3 mRNA和蛋白表达量增高,与治疗前比较差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05);模型组治疗前后比较差异无显著性意义(P > 0.05);组间对比3组水通道蛋白1和水通道蛋白3 mRNA和蛋白表达,差异有显著性意义(P < 0.05);③结果表明,腰痹舒可能是通过提高水通道蛋白1、水通道蛋白3的表达量,减轻兔椎间盘退变。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The aging and lesions of the intervertebral disc are closely related to the lack of nutritional blood supply to the disc. Aquaporin plays an important role in the nutritional supply to the intervertebral discs, but the specific mechanism has not been fully defined.

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanism of Yaobishu on degenerated intervertebral disc in rabbits based on the changes of aquaporin (AQP) 1 and AQP3 protein expression.

METHODS: Thirty-six New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into model group, low-dose Yaobishu group and high-dose Yaobishu group. Animal models of lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse were prepared through an injection of normal saline into L4/5 and L5/6 segments. The model group was intragastrically given normal saline 5 mL/kg per day, the low-dose group was intragastrically given Yaobishu 5 mL/kg per day, and the high-dose group was intragastrically given Yaobishu 10 mL/kg per day, twice a day, for 21 days. After 6 weeks of treatment, the intervertebral discs were taken for anatomical and histological observation using hematoxylin-eosin staining. Expression of AQP1 and AQP3 in the nucleus pulposus at protein and mRNA levels was quantified by RT-PCR and western blot assay.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: In all the three groups, the annulus fibrosus was destroyed, abnormal cartilage tissue appeared, and the nucleus pulposus was reduced in number. Severest degeneration of the intervertebral disc was found in the model group, followed by the low-dose Yaobishu and high-dose Yaobishu groups in turn. The expression of AQP1 and AQP3 mRNA and protein in the high-dose Yaobishu group and low-dose Yaobishu group increased significantly after 6 weeks of treatment (P < 0.05), while the expression in the model group showed no significant difference before and after treatment (P > 0.05). There were significant differences in the expression of AQP1 and AQP3 mRNA and protein among the three groups (P < 0.05). Therefore, Yaobishu may alleviate the degeneration of the rabbit intervertebral disc by increasing the expression of AQP1 and AQP3.
