Accordingly, this study is to investigate if gene delivery of superoxide dismutase (SOD) will reduce hepatocyte injury caused by experimental cholestasis. METHODS: The recombinant of pLNCX-SOD gene packaged with lipofection of AMINE was transfected into hepatocytes in vitro, which stably expressed the SOD gene. RESULTS: After transfection, hepatocytes enhanced the protective effect against injury to bile and the toxicity of serum in obstructive jaundice. The inhibition of bile at the concentration of 2% (v: v, bile: DMEM 1: 50) decreased obviously from (78.80 +/- 12.35)% to (43.35 +/- 9.69)% in 12 hours, from (82.55 +/- 11.27)% to (-26.64 +/- 7.66)% in 24 hours, and from (83.83 +/- 18.69)% to (-19.27 +/- 14.38)% in 48 hours, compared with that of the untransfected cells (P < 0.01). The inhibition of serum at the obstructive jaudice concentration of 2.5% was obviously decreased from (89.72 +/- 1.52)% to (14.68 +/- 14.33)% in 12 hours, from (92.2 +/- 11.27)% to (41.39 +/- 7.66)% in 24 hours, and from (94.25 +/- 8.96)% to (22.71 +/- 4.38)% in 48 hours (P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Hepatocytes transfected with the pLNCX-SOD gene could obviously be resistant to the toxicity of bile and serum from rat with obstructive jaundice.展开更多

It has not been reported whether L-arginine (L-Arg) can affect hepatic mitochondrial calcium overload. This study was undertaken to investigate the protective effect of L-Arg on Ca2+ handling of hepatic mitochondrion in rats with obstructive jaundice and to clarify its possible mechanism. METHODS: Seventy-two male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: sham operation+normal saline group (SO group), common bile duct ligation+normal saline group (BDL group), and common bile duct ligation+ L-Arg group (L-Arg group). The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Ca2+ in rat hepatic mitochondrion were examined at the 7th, 14th and 21st day after operation. RESULTS: The Ca2+ and MDA levels of hepatic mitochondrion increased significantly but their SOD content decreased markedly at each time point in the BDL group. Except at the 21st day, the Ca2+ and MDA, contents of hepatic mitochondrion were significantly lower, and SOD concentrations were higher in the L-Arg group than those in the BDL group at the 7th and 14th day (P【0.01). CONCLUSION: L-Arg has a protective effect on mitochondrion in the early and mid stages of obstructive jaundice.展开更多
