Summary

一种小鼠手术模型,用于在保持通气和避免缺氧的同时产生左肺缺血再灌注 (IR) 损伤。

Abstract

缺血再灌注 (IR) 损伤通常由涉及短暂的血流中断的过程引起。在肺中,孤立的IR允许通过持续的肺泡通气对这一特定过程进行实验研究,从而避免缺氧和肺不张的复合有害过程。在临床环境中,肺缺血再灌注损伤(也称为肺IRI或LIRI)由许多过程引起,包括但不限于肺栓塞,复苏性出血性创伤和肺移植。目前,LIRI的有效治疗选择有限。在这里,我们提出了肺IR的可逆手术模型,包括首先耳廓气插管,然后是单侧左肺缺血和再灌注,保留肺泡通气或气体交换。小鼠接受左开胸术,通过该切开术,左肺动脉暴露,可视化,隔离和使用可逆滑结压缩。然后在缺血期间关闭手术切口,唤醒动物并拔管。随着小鼠自主呼吸,通过释放肺动脉周围的滑结来建立再灌注。这种临床相关的生存模型允许评估肺IR损伤,消退阶段,对肺功能的下游影响,以及涉及实验性肺炎的两次命中模型。虽然技术上具有挑战性,但这种模式可以在几周到几个月内掌握,最终生存率或成功率为80%-90%。

Introduction

缺血再灌注 (IR) 损伤可能发生在中断一段时间后恢复到器官或组织床的血流。在肺中,IR 可单独发生或与其他损伤过程相关,例如感染、缺氧、肺不张、容积伤(机械通气期间潮气量增加)、气压伤(机械通气期间出现峰值或持续压力)或钝性(非穿透性)肺挫伤123.我们对LIRI的机制以及并发过程(例如感染)对LIRI结局的影响的认识仍然存在一些差距,而且LIRI的治疗选择也很有限。需要纯LIRI的体内模型来单独识别肺IR损伤的病理生理学,并研究其对任何多命中过程的贡献,其中肺损伤是其组成部分。

鼠肺 IR 模型可用于研究多个过程的肺特异性病理生理学,包括肺移植3、肺栓塞4 和复苏后出血性创伤后的肺损伤5。目前使用的模型包括外科肺移植6,肺门钳夹7离体 肺灌注8和通气肺IR9。在这里,我们为无菌性肺损伤的小鼠通气肺IR模型提供了详细的方案。这种方法有多种好处(图2),包括它诱导最小的缺氧和最小的肺不张,并且它是一种允许长期研究的生存手术模型。

选择这种LIRI模型而不是其他模型(如肺门钳夹和 离体 灌注模型)的原因如下:该模型最大限度地减少了肺不张,机械通气和缺氧的炎症贡献;它保留了周期性通风;它保持完整的 体内 循环免疫系统,可以对IR损伤做出反应;最后,作为一种生存程序,它允许对继发性损伤产生(2次命中模型)和损伤消退的机制进行长期分析。总体而言,我们相信这种通气肺IR模型提供了可以通过实验研究的“最纯净”形式的IR损伤。

其他出版物描述了使用小鼠的口腱插管进行IT注射或安装1011但不像该模型那样作为生存手术的起点。口腔导管的放置允许通过允许手术肺塌陷来进行肺部手术。它还允许在手术结束时重新充气肺,这对于气胸和小鼠在手术结束时恢复自主通气的能力至关重要。最后,移除固定的口腔导管是一个简单的程序,与侵入性气管切开术不同,它与生存手术兼容。这允许长期研究,重点是了解LIRI和相关疾病的进展和解决,以及创建慢性损伤模型。

Protocol

下面描述的所有程序和步骤均已获得加州大学旧金山分校机构动物护理和使用委员会(IACUC)的批准。可以使用任何小鼠品系,尽管与其他菌株相比,某些菌株具有更强烈的肺IR炎症反应12。大约12-15周龄(30-40g)或更大的小鼠比年轻小鼠更好地耐受和存活肺IR手术。雄性和雌性小鼠都可用于这些手术。 1. 小鼠插管方案 麻醉和插管准备<l…

Representative Results

单侧通气无菌肺缺血再灌注(IR)损伤引起的炎症:缺血1小时后,我们观察到ELISA和qRT-PCR在再灌注后1小时血清和肺组织中的细胞因子水平升高,在再灌注后12-24小时内迅速恢复到基线13。对于再灌注后3小时收集的样品,我们观察到左肺组织内的强烈中性粒细胞浸润,并注意到炎症的强度取决于所使用的小鼠菌株(图1)。值得注意的是,在没有共存或随后的…
