Objective: To observe the correlation between the expression of AQP1
AQP5 mRNA and the lung injury in the rats with lung sluggishness syndrome and the regulative effect of rhubarb on it
to explore the material foundation of the lung defensive sluggishness syndrom and the mechanism of rhubarb in the prevention and treatment of the lung injury. Method: Lipopolysaccharide(LPS) was injected into SD rats to perform lung-defensive sluggishness syndrome.Sixty rats was randomly divided into 5 groups:control group
lung-defensive sluggishness group
natural recovery after 5 days group
rhubarb prevention group (9 g ·kg-1 ·d-1 for 2 days before model establishment)and rhubarb treatment group(9 g ·kg-1 ·d -1for 5 days after model establishment). Physiological and pathological staining was performed and real-time PCR was used to observe the expression of AQP1
AQP5 mRNA in the pulmonary tissue. Result: The pulmonary edema could be showed obviously in the lung-defensive sluggishness model and rhubarb could alleviate it. Compared with the control group
expression of AQP1
AQP5 mRNA of the model group was decreased
thus the natural recovery after 5 days group was elevated;no significantly difference can be seen between rhubarb prevention group and rhubarb treatment group. Conclusion: The pulmonary edema and abnormal expression of AQP1
AQP5 mRNA can be showed in lung-defensive sluggishness model and the rhubarb can inhibit them
which is one of the important mechanisms in protecting the lung injury of lung-defensive sluggishness syndrome.
