ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the effects and mechanism of peroxisome proliferators activated receptor-gamma(PPAR-γ)and its ligand rosiglitazone on ischemia-reperfusion injury of the donor bile ducts.Method Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into three groups with fourteen rats in eachthe sham operation group (SO),ischemia-reperfusion(I/R)group and I/R+rosiglitazone group(I/R+Ros).The animal model of is-chemia-reperfusion occurred in the orthotopically transplanted liver was used.Tne signal pathway of iuflanunatory response of bile duets of the transplanted hver and the variations of associated cytokines were detected by the signal transduction pathway-finder gene array and cytokine antibody chips.The pathological changes and the biochemical markers of the donor liver were assessed by histopathological score and the estimation of the functional changes of some other organs.Data were analyzed by using SPSS version 10.0 software package.Statistical analysis was car-ried out by using one-way anova and Bonferroni test.Results Compared with the SO group and I/R+Ros group.the expression of NF-кB gene of I/R group to more than two times,and the levels of IL-1α,IL-1β and TNF-α pro-tein expressions in I/R group went up over double too.Compared with I/R group,the histopathological score and the biochemical markers of I/R+Ros group were significantly lower (P＜0.05,P＜0.01,respectively).Con-clusions PPAR-γ and its ligand rosiglitazone have protective effects on ischemia-reperfusion injury to donor bile ducts.The mechanism may be attributed to decrease in the release of inflammatory mediators(IL-1α,IL-1β,TNF-α and so on)resulted from the down-expression of decreased due to NF-кB.
