摘要

目的·研究gasdermin D(GSDMD)抑制剂necrosulfonamide(NSA)通过抑制肺上皮细胞焦亡对脂多糖(lipopolysaccharide,LPS)诱导的新生大鼠支气管肺发育不良(bronchopulmonary dysplasia,BPD)肺泡化阻滞的影响。方法·将孕SD大鼠随机分为对照组、BPD组、BPD+NSA组和NSA组,羊膜腔注射LPS建立新生鼠BPD模型。取各组出生后第1、3、7日新生鼠肺组织,通过苏木精-伊红(H-E)染色观察肺泡化情况;利用免疫荧光法检测各组新生鼠肺部GSDMD-N端蛋白表达情况;荧光定量PCR法检测新生鼠肺组织中炎症因子白介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)mRNA水平。体外培养小鼠肺泡上皮细胞系MLE-12,给予LPS以及腺苷三磷酸(adenosine triphosphate,ATP)刺激和NSA干预,CCK-8法检测MLE-12细胞活力,Hoechst 33342和碘化丙啶(propidium iodide,PI)染色法检测细胞焦亡水平,免疫荧光法检测MLE-12细胞表面活性剂蛋白C(surfactant protein C,SFTPC)和GSDMD-N端蛋白的表达情况。结果·体内实验结果显示:羊膜腔内注射LPS可导致肺发育受阻,模拟BPD的病理改变;羊膜腔内注射LPS建立的BPD模型中肺泡上皮细胞GSDMD-N端表达升高;NSA干预明显改善了BPD新生鼠的肺发育阻滞并抑制了IL-1β的mRNA表达(均P<0.05)。体外实验结果显示:LPS/ATP刺激下肺泡上皮细胞MLE-12活力下降,发生焦亡;NSA干预提高了肺泡上皮细胞活力并且抑制了焦亡(均P<0.05);NSA上调了LPS/ATP刺激下肺泡上皮细胞SFTPC的表达,抑制了LPS/ATP刺激下肺泡上皮细胞GSDMD-N端表达的上调(均P<0.05)。结论·抑制肺泡上皮细胞焦亡可改善LPS诱导的BPD新生鼠肺组织病理学改变。

Abstract

Objective ·To study the effect of gasdermin D (GSDMD) inhibitor necrosulfonamide (NSA) on alveolarization arrest in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) newborn rats via inhibiting alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis. Methods ·Pregnant SD rats were randomly assigned to four groups as follows: control, BPD, BPD with NSA and NSA group, and then were prepared to receive intra-amniotic injection of LPS. Lung tissues of newborn rats on the first, third and seventh day after birth were stained by hematoxylin-eosin (H-E) to observe lung development. The expressions of GSDMD-N-terminal in lungs of newborn rats in each group were detected by immunofluorescence. The mRNA levels of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) of newborn rats' lungs was detected by real-time PCR. In vitro, the mouse alveolar epithelial cell line MLE-12 was cultured and treated with LPS/adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and NSA. The cell viability of MLE-12 cells was detected by CCK-8 method, the pyroptosis was detected by Hoechst 33342 and propidium iodide (PI) staining, and the expressions of surfactant protein C (SFTPC) and GSDMD-N protein in MLE-12 cells were detected by immunofluorescence. Results ·In vivo, intra-amniotic injection of LPS hindered lung development, resulting in the pathological hallmarks of BPD. The GSDMD-N expression of alveolar epithelial cells increased in the BPD rat model established by intra-amniotic injection of LPS, while NSA treatment significantly improved the lung development of BPD rats and inhibited the IL-1β mRNA expression (both P<0.05). In vitro, the study confirmed that LPS/ATP treatment decreased the viability of alveolar epithelial cells MLE-12 and induced pyroptosis, while NSA treatment increased alveolar epithelial cell viability and inhibited pyroptosis (both P<0.05). In addition, NSA treatment upregulated the SFTPC expression and inhibited the GSDMD-N expression in LPS/ATP-stimulated alveolar epithelial cells (both P<0.05). Conclusion ·Inhibiting the alveolar epithelial cell pyroptosis can improve the alveolar development in BPD newborn rats.
