摘要： 目的:初步探究Toll样受体4(Toll like receptor 4, TLR4)在慢性牙周炎诱发大鼠肝脏炎症中的作用。方法:将24只雄性Wistar大鼠随机分成两组,对照组和牙周炎组每组各12只,2%戊巴比妥钠麻醉下检测牙龈出血指数、牙周探诊深度及松动度;将20 μL牙龈卟啉单胞菌脂多糖(Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide, Pg-LPS)(1 g/L)注射到大鼠双侧上颌第一磨牙龈沟及第一二磨牙龈间隙内,隔1 d注射1次,每周3次,连续6周。对照组不做处理。最后一次注射Pg-LPS 12 h后,2%戊巴比妥钠麻醉下检测牙周探诊深度、牙龈出血指数及松动度等3项牙周指标后将大鼠处死,取其上颌骨及肝脏,采用组织学方法、实时荧光定量聚合酶链反应(quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction, qRT-PCR)、Western blot分别检测肝组织炎症反应情况及TLR4、肿瘤坏死因子-α(tumor necrosis factor, TNF-α)和白细胞介素-6(interleukin-6, IL-6)的基因和蛋白表达水平。结果:牙周炎组大鼠牙周探诊深度、牙龈出血指数及松动度均重于对照组;苏木精-伊红(hematoxylin-eosin, HE)染色结果显示慢性牙周炎大鼠肝组织内肝索结构紊乱,汇管区可见大量淋巴细胞浸润,大量肝细胞呈空泡样改变;qRT-PCR结果显示慢性牙周炎组大鼠肝组织TLR4、TNF-α和IL-6的mRNA表达水平较对照组升高;Western blot结果显示TLR4蛋白表达与基因表达一致。结论:TLR4在慢性牙周炎诱发大鼠肝脏炎症性改变的过程中发挥着重要的作用。

Abstract: Objective:To investigate the role of TLR4 in liver inflammation induced by chronic periodontitis in rats. Methods:Twenty-four male Wistar rats were randomly euqally divided into two groups. In the periodontitis group, 20 μL Pg-LPS (1 g/L) was injected into the first and second gingival furrow of the maxilla on both sides of the rats, once every other day, three times a week, for 6 weeks. The control group was not treated. 12 h after the last injection of Pg-LPS, rats were sacrificed and the maxilla and liver were extracted. Histological method was used to detect the inflammatory response of the liver. qRT-PCR and Western blotting were used to detect the expression of TLR4, TNF-α, and IL-6. Results:HE staining showed that the hepatic cord was disorganized in the liver tissue of rats with chronic periodontitis, infiltrated by inflammatory cells such as neutrophils, and a large number of liver cells presented vacuolar changes. qRT-PCR results showed that the expression levels of TLR4, TNF-α, and IL-6 in the liver of rats in the chronic periodontitis group were higher than those in the control group. Western blot result of TLR4 was consistent with the gene expression. Conclusion:TLR4 plays an important role in the inflammatory changes of liver induced by chronic periodontitis in rats.
