摘要:

目的 采用两种浓度的乙醇溶液损伤构建宫腔粘连(intrauterine adhesions,IUA)小鼠模型,通过表型比较优化更稳定的IUA造模方法。 方法 将20只8周龄的雌性C57BL/6N小鼠随机分为2组,即95%乙醇损伤组和50%乙醇损伤组。利用自身对照法,向左侧子宫角灌注乙醇溶液制作IUA模型,向右侧灌注生理盐水作为假手术。每组分别于造模后第7天和第15天各安乐术处死5只小鼠,摘取子宫,通过苏木精-伊红(hematoxylin-eosin,HE)染色观察子宫内膜病理变化,Masson染色观察子宫内膜纤维化程度。利用实时荧光定量PCR检测子宫组织中纤维化标志物和促炎因子的表达情况。 结果 造模后第7天,与假手术侧相比,小鼠损伤侧子宫明显失去弹性,炎症浸润显著增强,且纤维化程度显著增高(P<0.05);95%乙醇损伤组小鼠的右侧子宫内膜厚度显著下降(P<0.05),而50%乙醇损伤组小鼠的右侧内膜厚度无明显改变(P>0.05);50%乙醇损伤组的右侧子宫组织纤维化标志分子Ⅳ型胶原α1链(collagen type Ⅳ alpha 1 chain,Col4A1)、α-平滑肌肌动蛋白(α- smooth muscle actin,α-SMA)、转化生长因子-β(transforming growth factor-β,TGF-β),以及促炎因子肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor-α,TNF-α)和白细胞介素-1β(interleukin-1β,IL-1β)的表达水平均显著升高(P<0.05),而95%乙醇损伤组的右侧子宫组织相同指标虽有升高趋势,但差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。造模后第15天,与假手术侧相比,两个乙醇损伤组的子宫组织病理学变化均不明显;50%乙醇损伤组子宫组织中Col4A1、TGF-β、TNF-α和IL-1β的表达水平仍显著升高(P<0.05),而95%乙醇损伤组子宫组织仅IL-1β显著升高(P<0.05)。 结论 向子宫角灌注95%乙醇溶液制作IUA小鼠模型的子宫组织病理学改变比50%乙醇损伤组明显,适合进行组织病理学研究。但灌注50%乙醇溶液后小鼠子宫组织中纤维化标志物和促炎因子表达水平升高较95%乙醇损伤组更明显,提示50%乙醇溶液构建的IUA小鼠模型更适合分子病理学研究。

Abstract:

Objective To construct intrauterine adhesion (IUA) mouse models induced by two different concentrations of ethanol injury, compare the phenotypes, and optimize a more stable IUA modeling method. Methods Twenty 8-week-old female C57BL/6N mice were randomly divided into two groups: the 95% ethanol injury group and the 50% ethanol injury group. Using a self-control method, the left uterine horn was infused with ethanol to establish the IUA model, while the right uterine horn was infused with saline as the sham operation. Five mice from each group were euthanized on day 7 and 15 after modeling, and uterine tissues were collected. Hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining was used to observe the endometrial pathology, and Masson staining was used to assess the degree of endometrial fibrosis. Quantitative real-time PCR was employed to detect the expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors in the uterine tissues. Results Compared to the sham operation, these two ethanol injury led to a significant reduction in elasticity of the uterus, an increase in inflammatory infiltration, and a marked increase in the degree of fibrosis on day 7 after modeling (P<0.05). The 95% ethanol injury group showed a significant decrease in endometrial thickness (P<0.05), whereas no significant change was observed in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P>0.05). The expression levels of fibrotic marker molecules collagen type Ⅳ alpha 1 chain (Col4A1), α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA), transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), and pro-inflammatory factors tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were significantly elevated in the 50% ethanol injury group when compared to the sham operation (P<0.05), although there was an increasing trend of the same markers in the 95% ethanol injury group, the differences were not statistically significant (P>0.05). On day 15 after modeling, the histopathological changes in both ethanol injury groups were not significant when compared to the sham operation, the expression levels of Col4A1, TGF-β, TNF-α and IL-1β remained significantly higher in the 50% ethanol injury group (P<0.05), while only IL-1β was significantly elevated in the 95% ethanol injury group (P<0.05). Conclusion Uterine infusion with 95% ethanol results in more marked histopathological changes in the IUA mouse model compared to the 50% ethanol injury group. The 95% ethanol injury model is suitable for histopathological studies. However, the 50% ethanol injury group shows higher expression levels of fibrosis markers and pro-inflammatory factors compared to the 95% ethanol injury group, suggesting that the 50% ethanol injury model is more suitable for molecular pathological study.
