摘要:

目的 通过不同的肾脏切除手术方法建立SD大鼠慢性肾脏病主动脉钙化模型,并进行手术时间及存活时间比较和效果评价,以探索更优化的建模方法。 方法 根据不同手术方式分为腹腔入路先切2/3左肾后二期右全肾切除组(A组)、腹腔入路2/3左肾及右全肾同时切除组(B组)、背入路先切右全肾后二期2/3左肾切除组(C组)、背入路先切2/3左肾后二期切除右全肾组(D组)共4组,比较腹腔入路及背入路、分期及一次性肾脏切除术的SD大鼠生存曲线确定最优的肾脏切除手术方式后,选取24只8周龄雄性SPF级SD大鼠进行肾脏切除联合骨化三醇钙化诱导:其中实验组12只大鼠行背入路的左侧2/3肾切除后右侧全肾切除术,1周后腹腔注射骨化三醇溶液1 μg/kg,以进行主动脉钙化诱导;对照组12只大鼠行假手术后1周,腹腔注射含1%DMSO的生理盐水250 μL/kg。腹腔注射药物3个月后,观察各组大鼠的存活情况。麻醉状态下,采集各组大鼠的血液样本,测定血清磷和钙离子浓度、血清尿素氮和肌酐含量。安乐死大鼠后进行剖检,肉眼观察残余肾脏形态,HE染色观察肾冠状切面的病理学变化。另外取各组大鼠的全主动脉,茜素红S及von Kossa染色观察主动脉钙化程度,实时荧光定量PCR法检测大鼠主动脉组织中平滑肌肌动蛋白相关蛋白α (smooth muscle actin-associated protein α ,Sm22)Runt相关转录因子2(Runt-related transcription factor 2,Runx2)骨桥蛋白(osteopontin,OPN)基因表达情况,以评价建模效果。 结果 不同术式优化探索实验发现,背入路先切除2/3左肾再切除右侧全肾的D组大鼠的存活率最高,提示该术式是建立肾功能不全的慢性肾脏病模型的最佳手术方式。运用该术式联合高剂量骨化三醇注射的实验组大鼠血清钙离子浓度显著低于假手术对照组(P<0.05),而血清磷离子浓度、血清肌酐及血清尿素氮含量则显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。肾脏HE染色可见实验组大鼠肾脏发生明显器质性改变,其中实验组大鼠的肾小球计数比对照组明显减少(P<0.05),提示肾衰竭模型成功建立。茜素红S染色可见实验组大鼠的主动脉中膜中有明显的色素沉着,von Kossa染色可见实验组大鼠的主动脉中膜层明显有硝酸银沉积,符合肾衰竭主动脉钙化的表现。实时荧光定量PCR表明,实验组大鼠的主动脉组织中Sm22表达水平下降(P<0.05),OPN和Runx2表达水平上升(P<0.05),提示主动脉平滑肌细胞由平滑肌表型向骨样表型转变,主动脉钙化模型诱导成功。 结论 采用背入路先切除2/3左肾,再进行右侧全肾切除,联合高剂量骨化三醇溶液摄入的方法,可成功建立SD大鼠慢性肾脏病主动脉钙化模型。该方案能缩短手术时间,提高建模成功率和动物存活率。

Abstract:

Objective To establish a chronic kidney disease-associated aortic calcification model in SD rats using different nephrectomy surgical methods, and to compare and evaluate surgical duration and survival time to explore a more optimized modeling method. Methods According to different surgical methods, the SD rats were divided into four groups: Group A: intraperitoneal resection of 2/3 of the left kidney followed by right total nephrectomy in the second stage; Group B: intraperitoneal resection of 2/3 of the left kidney and simultaneous right total nephrectomy; Group C: dorsal approach right total nephrectomy followed by resection of 2/3 of the left kidney in the second stage; Group D: dorsal approach resection of 2/3 of the left kidney followed by right total nephrectomy in the second stage. After comparing survival curves of SD rats undergoing intraperitoneal versus dorsal approaches, and staged versus single-stage nephrectomy, the optimal nephrectomy surgical method was determined. Then, twenty-four 8-week-old SPF-grade male SD rats were selected for nephrectomy combined with calcitriol-induced calcification. Experimental group (12 rats): the dorsal approach left 2/3 nephrectomy followed by right total nephrectomy, with intraperitoneal injection of 1 μg/kg calcitriol administered one week later to induce aortic calcification. Control group (12 rats): the intraperitoneal injection of 250 μL/kg physiological saline containing 1% DMSO one week after sham surgery. After intraperitoneal injection of drugs for 3 months, the survival status of rats in each group was observed. Under anesthesia, blood samples were collected from each group to measure serum phosphorus and calcium ion concentrations, as well as serum urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. After euthanizing the rats, a post-mortem examination was performed to observe the residual kidney morphology, and HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes in the coronal section of the kidney. Additionally, the entire aorta of each group was taken, and the degree of aortic calcification was observed by staining with Alizarin red S and von Kossa. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the gene expression of smooth muscle actin-associated protein alpha (Sm22), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (Runx2), and osteopontin (OPN) in rat aortic tissue to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. Results The exploratory optimization experiment of different surgical procedures found that the survival rate of group D rats,which underwent 2/3 left kidney resection followed by right whole kidney resection via the dorsal approach, was the highest, indicating that this surgical procedure was the best method for establishing a chronic kidney disease model with renal dysfunction. The experimental group rats treated with this surgical procedure combined with high-dose calcitriol injection had significantly lower serum calcium ion concentration than those in the sham-operated control group (P<0.05), while serum phosphorus ion concentration, serum creatinine, and serum urea nitrogen levels were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.05). HE staining of the kidneys showed significant organic changes in the kidneys of the experimental group rats, with a significant decrease in glomerular count compared to that of the control group (P<0.05), indicating the successful establishment of a renal failure model. Alizarin red S staining showed significant pigment deposition in the aortic media of the experimental group rats, while von Kossa staining showed significant silver nitrate deposition in the aortic media of the experimental group rats, which was consistent with the manifestation of aortic calcification in renal failure. Real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR showed that the expression level of Sm22 in the aortic tissue of the experimental group rats decreased (P<0.05), while the expression levels of OPN and Runx2 increased (P<0.05), indicating a transition of aortic smooth muscle cells from smooth muscle phenotype to bone-like phenotype and successful induction of an aortic calcification model. Conclusion The method of establishing an aortic calcification model of chronic kidney disease in SD rats by first removing two-thirds of the left kidney via the dorsal approach followed by right total nephrectomy, combined with high-dose calcitriol administration, shortens the surgical time, improves the success rate of modeling, and increases the animal survival rate.
