目的 研究Poly Ⅰ:C对急性期溃疡性结肠炎模型小鼠肠道黏膜屏障调节作用。方法 30只小鼠随机分为正常对照组、模型组、Poly Ⅰ:C组,建立急性溃疡性结肠炎动物模型;观察小鼠一般活动情况及结肠病理学变化、应用免疫组织化学荧光染色法测定结肠组织水闸蛋白(claudin-1)、闭锁小带(zo-1)蛋白表达的变化。结果 实验期间,Poly Ⅰ:C干预治疗后模型小鼠的一般情况有明显改善;模型组小鼠结肠黏膜缺损,腺体破坏或消失,可见黏膜、黏膜下层甚至肌层大量炎性细胞浸润;Poly Ⅰ:C组可见炎性细胞浸润少,炎症程度较模型组明显减轻。与模型组比较,经过Poly Ⅰ:C治疗后结肠组织黏膜中claudin-1、zo-1蛋白的荧光表达明显增强。结论 Poly Ⅰ:C 对急性溃疡性结肠炎模型小鼠肠道黏膜屏障有调节作用。

溃疡性结肠炎(ulcerative colitis,UC)是一种高复发的肠道炎性疾病。近年来,研究学者认为本病发病基础是:肠黏膜屏障削弱,肠道致病菌群及其有害成分穿过黏膜屏障,引发局部免疫反应[1-2]。Poly Ⅰ:C(polyinosinic polycytidylic acid)可诱导分泌的Ⅰ型干扰素,可增强机体的初期抗体应答[3],对急性UC模型小鼠的肠道黏膜屏障是否有调节作用仍需进一步研究。
1.1 材料 右旋葡聚糖硫酸钠(DSS,Sigma公司,美国);Poly Ⅰ:C(Sigma公司,美国);兔多抗zo-1抗体(invitrogen);鼠抗claudin-1抗体(Santa Cruz公司,美国);Cy3标记的山羊抗小鼠免疫球蛋白G(IgG)抗体、异硫氰酸荧光素(FITC)标记的山羊抗兔IgG抗体(碧云天分进口产品)。
1.2 方法
1.2.1 急性期造模及Poly Ⅰ:C干预 30只雄性C57BL/6小鼠(体质量18~22 g,7~12周),购于北京维通利华实验动物技术有限公司。按随机数字表法分入正常对照组、模型组和Poly Ⅰ:C组,每组10只。模型组自由饮用2%DSS 7 d,正常对照组和Poly Ⅰ:C组小鼠自由饮用蒸馏水7 d;Poly Ⅰ:C组只在造模前给予0.3 mg/kg Poly Ⅰ:C,一次性肌内注射给药;空白对照组和模型组同时给予生理盐水同等剂量肌内注射作为对照,时间均为1周,第8天处死所有小鼠。
1.2.2 小鼠一般情况及结肠病理组织染色 每天观察小鼠的精神状态、体质量、活动情况、毛发光泽度、食欲、大便性状等。在实验结束时处死大鼠,取部分肠段置于多聚甲醛内固定,包埋、切片,苏木素-伊红(HE)染色,行组织病理学观察。
1.2.3 肠组织免疫荧光染色 新鲜肠组织以5 μm的厚度进行连续冰冻切片,按以下步骤进行闭锁小带(zo-1)、水闸蛋白(claudin-1)的免疫荧光染色:4%多聚甲醛固定10 min,免疫染色洗涤液洗5 min 3次,封闭液封闭,室温 1 h,加兔抗zo-1多克隆抗体/小鼠抗claudin-1单克隆抗体,4 ℃过夜,洗涤液洗5 min 3次,滴加标记绿色荧光的抗兔FITC/标记红色荧光的抗小鼠Cy3,室温 1 h。绿色荧光/红色荧光为阳性表达。阴性对照用磷酸盐缓冲液(PBS)替代一抗,其余步骤同上。
2.1 动物的一般状况 实验期间,正常对照组小鼠大小便正常,体质量持续增加,毛发有光泽,活动、精神状态均正常。急性期模型组动物饮用2%DSS水后第1天,体质量增长,饮水、进食较多;饮用2%DSS第3天,开始精神萎靡,懒于活动,被毛松散无泽,食量下降,拉黏液血便,体质量下降,粪便潜血试验呈强阳性;实验第8天模型组小鼠体质量明显减轻,肛周可见肉眼血便。Poly Ⅰ:C组第5~7天,便稀,但未见脓血便,状态接近正常,但体质量仍明显减轻。
2.2 Poly Ⅰ:C对小鼠结肠组织病理学变化的影响 正常对照组肠黏膜光滑,无水肿、充血等表现;模型组小鼠结肠黏膜缺损,可见黏膜、黏膜下层甚至肌层大量炎性细胞浸润。Poly Ⅰ:C组的小鼠结肠病理较模型组明显改善,见图1。
2.3 免疫荧光染色检测结肠黏膜紧密连接蛋白(TJ)的定位分布 与免疫组织化学相比,TJ的免疫荧光表达更具有特异性。激光共聚焦显微镜下见zo-1蛋白呈现绿光,claudin-1蛋白呈现红光。急性期正常对照组zo-1、claudin-1蛋白表达可见荧光沿胞膜分布,荧光强度强,边缘光滑;模型组荧光分布较正常对照组分散,荧光强度减弱,边缘粗糙呈锯齿状;Poly Ⅰ:C组荧光仍沿胞膜分布,强度较正常对照组稍减弱,但仍强于模型组,见图2、3。

目前研究显示,UC的发病机制可能与肠道黏膜屏障功能减弱,诱导局部免疫反应有关[4]。Poly Ⅰ:C是一种人工合成的dsRNA,可形成长期的免疫记忆,对多种免疫系统疾病均有治疗作用[5-7]。
黏膜屏障功能缺陷和TJ蛋白的减少均有利于微生物抗原进入肠黏膜固有层,诱发异常的黏膜免疫应答。故此,肠道黏膜屏障的功能受损可以被认为是UC发病的始动因素之一[8-10]。肠上皮TJ对于屏障功能的维持和TJ的完整性具有重要作用,肠黏膜上皮TJ是由一系列的细胞质蛋白、细胞骨架元素和几种跨膜蛋白组成[11]。UC发生时,与肠黏膜通透性密切相关的TJ的zo-1和claudin-1首先从位置分布上发生了改变,正常情况下分布于细胞边缘,沿细胞膜分布;而UC发生时zo-1和claudin-1分布不均,染色变淡,线条模糊,边缘粗糙有刺状突起,分布散乱,稀疏,结肠黏膜紧密连接蛋白的表达明显下降,经过Poly Ⅰ:C治疗后,结肠黏膜的上皮层紧密连接蛋白zo-1和claudin-1分布均匀,线条清晰,边缘整齐。可见Poly Ⅰ:C在急性UC模型小鼠保护肠黏膜屏障过程中起重要作用,为临床上UC治疗提供理论依据。
