医用臭氧对脓毒症肾损伤的治疗作用及其机制

Therapeutic effects and mechanisms of medical ozone on sepsis-associated kidney injury

  • 摘要: 以脂多糖诱导的小鼠脓毒症相关肾损伤(sepsis-associated kidney injury,S-AKI)模型,探究医用臭氧对 S-AKI 的治疗作用及机制。利用酶联免疫吸附试验、肾脏组织病理学评估、肾功能生化指标检测、免疫荧光染色及 Western blot 蛋白印迹分析等方法,系统检测腹腔注射臭氧对小鼠炎症,凝血和肾组织的影响。结果显示,臭氧治疗可降低S-AKI小鼠循环系统中的中性粒细胞胞外诱捕网(NETs)的特异性标志物(瓜氨酸化组蛋白H3和髓过氧化物酶-DNA复合物)水平,同时抑制肾脏组织中炎症因子及组织因子的表达。此外,臭氧还能有效改善肾脏微循环障碍,减轻肾小管损伤和间质炎症浸润,从而缓解S-AKI的病理进程。机制研究表明,臭氧通过激活5'-一磷酸腺苷活化的蛋白激酶(AMPK)/A1类清道夫受体(SR-A1)信号通路,增强巨噬细胞对组织因子富集微粒(TF-MPs)的吞噬清除能力。在Sr-a1基因敲除小鼠中,臭氧的肾脏保护作用被完全消除,证实了SR-A1在该保护机制中的关键作用。综上,医用臭氧通过AMPK/SR-A1信号轴促进巨噬细胞清除TF-NETs复合物,发挥抗炎和改善微循环的双重保护效应,本研究为S-AKI的治疗提供了新的干预靶点和治疗策略。

     

    Abstract: This study investigated the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of medical ozone on sepsis- associated kidney injury (S-AKI) induced by lipopolysaccharide in mice. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, renal histopathological evaluation, detection of renal function biochemical indicators, immunofluorescence staining, and Western blot analysis, the effects of intraperitoneal injection of ozone on inflammation, coagulation, and renal tissue in mice were systematically detected.The results demonstrated that ozone treatment significantly reduced circulating levels of the specific markers (citrullinated histone H3 and myeloperoxidase-DNA complexes) from neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in S-AKI mice, with a suppression on inflammatory and tissue factor expression in renal tissue. Furthermore, ozone effectively improved microcirculation dysfunction, reduced tubular damage and interstitial inflammatory infiltration, thereby alleviating pathological changes of kidneys of S-AKI mice. Mechanistic studies revealed that ozone enhances phagocytic clearance of tissue factor-rich microparticles (TF-MPs) by activating the 5'-monophosphate-activated protein kinase (AMPK) / scavenger receptor (SR)-A1 signaling pathway in macrophages. In Sr-a1-/- mice, renoprotective effect of ozone was completely abolished, confirming the critical role of SR-A1 in this mechanism. In summary, this study demonstrates that medical ozone promotes macrophage clearance of TF-NETs complexes through the AMPK/SR-A1 signaling axis, exerting dual protective effects on mice through anti-inflammatory action and microcirculation improvement, which provides novel intervention targets and therapeutic strategies for S-AKI treatment.
