METHODS: Forty-two SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: healthy controls (HC, n = 6); SAP-S group (n = 18); SAP-ICE-i group (n = 18). SAP was induced by retrograde infusion of 5% sodium taurocholate into the bile-pancreatic duct. HC rats underwent the same surgical procedures and duct cannulation without sodium taurocholate infusion, in SAP-S group, rats received the first intraperitoneal injection of isotonic saline 2 h after induction of acute pancreatitis and a repeated injection after 12 h. In SAP-ICE-I group, the rats were firstly given ICE inhibitors intraperitoneally 2 h after induction of pancreatitis. As in SAP-S group, the injection was repeated at 12 h. Serum 1L-1β was measured by EUSA. Intrapulmonary expression of Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. The wet/dry weight ratios and histopathological changes of the lungs were also evaluated. RESULTS: Serum IL-1β levels in SAP-S group were 276.77 ± 44.92 pg/mL at 6 h, 308.99 ± 34.95 pg/mL at 12 h, and 311.60 ± 46.51 pg/mL at 18 h, which were increased significantly (P 〈 0.01, vs HC). in SAP- ICE-I group, those values were decreased significantly (P 〈 0.01, vs SAP-S). intrapulmonary expression of Caspase-1, IL-1β and IL-18 mRNA were observed in the HC group, while they were increased significantly in the SAP-S group (P 〈 0.01, vs HC). The expression of IL-lβ and IL-18 mRNA were decreased significantly in the SAP- ICE-I group (P 〈 0.01, vs SAP-S), whereas Caspase-1 mRNA expression had no significant difference (P 〉 0.05). The wet/dry weight ratios of the lungs in the SAP-S group were increased significantly (P 〈 0.05 at 6 h, P 〈 0.01 at 12 h and 18 h, vs HC) and they were decreased significantly in the SAP-ICE-I group (P 〈 0.05, vs SAP-S).Caspase-1 inhibitors ameliorated the severity of ALl in SAP.CONCLUSION: Caspase-1 activation, and overproduction of IL-1β and IL-18 play an important role in the course of ALI, and Caspase-1 inhibition is effective for the treatment of ALI in experimental SAP.展开更多
