摘要
目的:探讨微小RNA-200家族成员中微小RNA-141(miR-141)在大鼠肝纤维化过程的表达变化及其作用。方法:雄性Wistar大鼠32只,随机分为正常对照组及肝纤维化组。皮下注射60%CCl4制备肝纤维化模型,分别在造模4周、8周末处死大鼠,测定肝脏指数、血清谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和谷草转氨酶(AST)的含量并观察肝组织结构改变。实时荧光定量PCR方法测定各组大鼠肝组织中miR-141的表达水平。结果:造模不同时间肝纤维化组大鼠肝脏指数、血清ALT和AST活性均显著高于相应正常对照组(P<0.01)。病理学观察发现造模4周大鼠肝脏纤维结缔组织明显增多,且随时间增长纤维化病变逐步加重,在肝纤维化8周组大鼠肝脏中有明显假小叶形成。Real time-PCR结果显示,大鼠肝脏miR-141水平肝纤维化4周组较相应对照组明显降低(P<0.01),肝纤维化8周组明显高于相应正常对照组(P<0.01)及肝纤维化4周组(P<0.01)。结论:研究表明CCl4诱导大鼠肝脏miR-141的表达水平有明显的改变,提示肝脏miR-141可能通过某种机制参与了大鼠肝纤维化的发生发展。
Objective： To irivestigate the expression changes and function of microRNA-141 （miR- 141 ） , one member of the microRNA-200 family, in the process of hepatic fibrosis in rats. Methods： Thirty-two male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control groups and liver fibrosis groups. Liver fibrosis model was established by hypodermic injection of 60% CC14. The rats were sacrificed in 4 and 8 weeks respectively, and experimental groups were named liver fibrosis groups 4-week and 8- week. Liver index, the contents of glutamic propylic transaminase （ALT） and glutamic oxaolacetic transaminase （AST） were detected, and morphological changes of liver were observed. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was employed to determine the expression levels of miR-141 in liver tissue of rats in each group. Results： Liver index, serum ALT and AST levels in each liver fibrosis group were obviously higher than those in control groups （ P 〈 0. 01 ）. Pathological discovery showed that fibrous connective tissue significantly increased in 4 weeks after liver fibrosis model established and this change was more obvious with time passing, and false lobes were found in rat liver in group 8-week. The expression level of miR-141 in group 4-week was obviously lower than that in corresponding control group （P 〈 0. 01 ）, and was higher in group 8-week than that in its corresponding control group （ P 〈 0.01 ） and that in group 4-week （ P 〈 O. O1 changes in the process of CC14 induced liver ）. Conclusions： Expression level of miR-141 obviously fibrosis, Which suggests that miR-141 may be involved in the development of rat liver fibrosis.
