Objective Observing the expressions of inducible nitric oxide synthase （iNOS） and endothelial nitric oxide synthase （eNOS） mRNA in lung tissues of rats with acute necrotizing pancreatitis （ANP） to explore the role of NOS in ANP associated-lung injury. Methods Forty Wistar rats were assigned into ANP group (n=30) and sham-operation group (SO group, n=10). ANP model was induced by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the bili-pancreatic duct. Pathological changes of the lung tissue were observed under light microscope at 3 h, 6 h and 12 h after the ANP-model operation, and the expressions of iNOS mRNA and eNOS mRNA in lung tissue were assayed by RT-PCR. Results Different degrees of pathological changes of the lung tissue, such as hyperemia, edema, inflammatory cells infiltration, hemorrhage and necrosis, were found in the ANP group. The pathologic injury scores of lung tissue in ANP group were higher than that in SO group (Plt;0.05), and gradually increased with the duration extension of ANP (Plt;0.05). Compared with the SO group, the expressions of iNOS and eNOS mRNA in ANP group were all higher at 3 h, 6 h, and 12 h (Plt;0.05). Conclusions The overexpressions of iNOS and eNOS mRNA may play important roles in lung injury of ANP. This provides us a theory basis that lung injury of ANP could be relieved by inhibiting the expressions of iNOS and eNOS mRNA.
目的 探讨聚腺苷二磷酸核糖聚合酶-1（poly ADPribose polymerase-1,PARP-1） mRNA在重症急性胰腺炎(severe acute pancreatitis，SAP)大鼠肾脏中的表达及意义。方法 48只Wistar大鼠按随机数字表法分为SAP组和假手术组(SO)组，分别于造模术后1、3、6及12 h测定血清肌酐，观察胰腺和肾脏组织病理变化，并以RT-PCR法检测PARP-1 mRNA在肾脏中的表达水平。结果 SAP组大鼠术后血清肌酐逐渐升高，于3、6及12 h明显高于SO组(Plt;0.05)。SAP组大鼠术后胰腺出现腺体破坏、腺泡坏死、出血、炎性细胞浸润等病理损害，且呈进行性加重； SO组各时相胰腺组织基本正常。SAP组大鼠术后出现肾小管上皮细胞变性、坏死、肾小球瘀血、缺血等改变，并随时间延长逐渐加重，其损伤程度在3、6及12 h明显较SO组严重(Plt;0.05)。SO组大鼠肾脏组织仅表达少量PARP-1 mRNA，而SAP组大鼠随病程延长肾脏组织中PARP-1 mRNA表达逐渐增加，自3 h时起明显高于SO组（Plt;0.01）。结论 在SAP发病过程中，PARP-1 mRNA的表达在肾脏组织中逐渐增加，PARP-1可能参与了SAP相关肾损伤过程。
