Objective:To investigate the effect of recombinant growth hormone on tight junction associated protin zo-1and phosphorylation myosin light chain of intestinal mucosa in rats with obstructive jaundice.Methods:Seventy adult Wastar Rats(any male and female) were randomly divided into3groups:I. Sham Operation (SO, n=10); II, Obstructive Jaundice (OJ, n=25); III, Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (rhGH, n=25);IV, Sham Operation with Recombinant Human Growth Hormone(GOJ,n=10). In OJ and rhGH group, rats were randomly assigned into7days (n=12) and14days (n=13) group. In SO group,rats were randomly assigned into7days (n=10) and14days (n=10) group.Group I and groupIV:20rats underwent laparotomy, but common bile duct (CBD) was not ligated. Group II and III:50rats underwent laparotomy, and CBD was ligated. In the group of rhGH and GOJ, Rats were undertaken subcutaneous injected of rhGH on posterior inside limb each day with dosage0.75iu/kg/day. On postoperative7days and14days, ligate the terminal segments of ileum and inject fluorescein-isothiocyanate-dextran (FITC-Dextran) in these segments of ileum.then the blood of portal vein〠the blood in herat and the terminal segments of ileum were harvested. Ileum stained with hematoxylin and eosin was examined histologically and morphometrically. To measure the TBã€DB〠ALT with heart blood.The intestinal permeability of rats was measureed by FITC-dextran with portal vein blood.The changes of tight junction associated protein ZO-1and phosphorylated MLC (PMLC) in intestinal epithelia of the rats were analyzed by inmmunohistochemistry with the terminal segments of ileum.Result:(1) TB〠DB〠ALT in the groups of OJ and rhGH were average higher than those in the groups of SO (P<0.05); TB〠DB〠ALT in the groups of OJ and rhGH were gradually increased with the time going (P>0.05); There were not significant difference between the groups of OJ and rhGH on TB〠DB〠ALT,(P>0.05).(2) The ileal mucosa of group OJ and rhGH were acutely injuried than group SO (P<0.01).While the time going the degree of ileal mucosa injuried in group OJ was increased(P<0.05). The degree of ileal mucosa injuried in group rhGH-7days was lower than in group OJ-7days(P<0.05); The degree of ileal mucosa injuried in group rhGH-14days was lower than in group OJ-14days(P<0.01). The degree of ileal mucosa injuried in group rhGH-14days was lower than in group rhGH-7days, but there were not significant difference (P>0.05).(3) The absorption strenth of fluorescein-isothiocyanate-dextran(FITC-dextran) in the groups of OJ and rhGH were higher than those in the groups of SO (P<0.05); The absorption strenth were gradually increased with the time going (P<0.05); The absorption strenth of FITC-dextran in the group of rhGH were less than those in the group of OJ(P<0.05).(4) The expressions of tight junction associated protein (TJP)ZO-1in the groups of OJ and rhGH were less than those in the group of SO (P<0.01); The expressions of TJP ZO-1in the groups of rhGH were higher than in the group of OJ (P<0.01); The expressions of TJP ZO-1in the group of OJ-14days was less than those in the group of OJ-7days (P<0.05); There were not significant difference between the groups of rhGH-14days and rhGH-7days on the expressions of TJPZO-1(P>0.05).(5) The expressions of phosphorylation myosinlight chain(PMLC) in the groups of OJ and rhGH were less than those in the group of SO (P<0.01); The expressions of PMLC in the groups of rhGH were higher than in the group of OJ (P<0.01); The expressions of PMLC in the group of OJ-14days was less than those in the group of OJ-7days (P<0.05); There were not significant difference between the groups of rhGH-14days and rhGH-7days on the expressions of PMLC (P>0.05).Conclusion:(1) Recombinant Human growth hormone can increase the expression of TJP ZO-1and reduced the expression of PLMC of intestine mucosal in rats with obstructive jaundice. It also can keep intestinal mucosal structure integrated and improve the hypermeability of the intestinal mucosa... |
