Abstract

To investigate the influence of cyclosporin A (CsA) pre-treatment and etomidate (ETO) post-treatment on lung injury induced by limb ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Rats were randomly divided into five groups: sham, I/R, I/R+CsA, I/R+ETO, and I/R+CsA+ETO. Limb I/R lung injury was established by bilateral clamping of the femoral arteries for 2 hours. Following reperfusion for 3 hours, blood gas analysis was performed. Pathological changes were assessed using immunohistochemistry. The apoptosis index (AI) and wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) were calculated. Levels of Fas protein and FasL mRNA were assessed by western blotting and RT-PCR, respectively. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-1β were detected by ELISA. I/R resulted in decreased PaO2 but increased AI, W/D, Fas, FasL mRNA, TNF-α and IL-1β. Scattered punctate apoptosis and necrosis were observed by immunohistochemistry. Compared with the I/R group, the I/R+ETO and I/R+CsA groups showed increased SpO2, decreased AI, W/D, Fas, FasL mRNA, TNF-α and IL-1β, and decreased numbers of apoptotic and necrotic cells. Combined treatment with CsA+ETO resulted in more dramatic changes in these parameters. ETO post-treatment and CsA pretreatment reduced lung injury induced ...Continue Reading

Apoptosis

Apoptosis is a specific process that leads to programmed cell death through the activation of an evolutionary conserved intracellular pathway leading to pathognomic cellular changes distinct from cellular necrosis
