摘 要:目的快速建立小鼠酒精l生肝纤维化模型,为酒精性肝纤维化发病机制及防治策略的研究奠定基础。方法64只C57BL/6J小鼠随机分为对照组、四氯化碳组、乙醇组、溶剂对照组及乙醇+四氯化碳组。乙醇+四氯化碳组小鼠,造模前4周以含40/0乙醇Lieber-DeCarli液体饲料喂养,第5周起联合5%四氯化碳腹腔注射,于造模第0、4、5、6、7、8周各处死6只。其余各组小鼠于造模第8周处死。采用酶法检测小鼠血清ALl7及AST水平lHE及Masson染色观察肝组织病理学变化,并对肝脂肪变、炎症活动及纤维化程度评分。免疫组织化学染色观察肝组织a-平滑肌肌动蛋白(a-SMA)表达变化;实时定量RT-PCR及Westernblot方法检测肝组织骨桥蛋白(OPN)及转化生长因子D1(TGFp1)mRNA及蛋白表达动态变化。结果乙醇+四氯化碳组小鼠于造模第4周出现轻~中度肝脂肪变,第5周出现炎细胞浸润,窦周出现纤维组织沉积,第6~7周肝小叶内可见点、灶状肝细胞坏死,炎细胞浸润、窦周纤维组织沉积呈进行陛加重,第8周肝细胞片状坏死,桥接纤维化形成。免疫组织化学染色显示:a-SMA主要表达于活化肝星状细胞及纤维组织沉积区域,随造模时间延长表达逐渐增强。乙醇+四氯化碳组小鼠肝组织OPN表达随造模时间延长逐渐增强,第0、4、5、6、7、8周mRNA相对表达量依次为1.01土0.13、0.80±0.20、1.83土0.25、2.94士0.19、3.45土0.31及5.99士0.17,各组比较,P=476.270,P〈0.01;蛋白相对表达量依次为0.19土0.06、0.48±0.05、0.52士0.06、1.02±0.10、1.52±0.11及1.50±0.08,各组比较,,=298.027,尸〈0.01。TGFp1表达自第5周明显上调,并呈持续高表达,mRNA相对表达量依次为1.03±0.18、1.07±0.23、3.19±0.40、3.31±0.28、1.58±0.18及2.08土0.26,各组比较,F=85.546,P〈0Objective To create a convenient method to establish an alcoholic liver fibrosis model in mice and use it to explore the putative pathogenic mechanisms involving the immunomodulatory proteins osteopontin (OPN) and transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1). Methods Forty C57BL/6J mice were fed the Lieber-DeCarli 4% ethanol-containing liquid diet for four weeks, followed by an additional four weeks of the 4% ethanol diet combined with intraperitoneal injection of carbon tetrachloride (CC14 5% solution in olive oil; 2ml/ kg body weight, 2 times/week) to induce alcoholic liver fibrosis. Control groups (n = 6 each) included: normal diet; normal diet plus CC14 injections; ethanol diet alone; ethanol diet plus solvent (olive oil) injections. Model establishment was monitored by sacrificing six mice at model inception (week 0), and weeks 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of modeling to collect liver tissues and blood for histological and biochemical analyses. Extent of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis was assessed by hematoxylin-eosin and Masson staining. Liver function markers, serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels, were tested by automated enzymatic assays. Alpha-smooth muscle actin (a-SMA) expression was detected by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA and protein expression of OPN and TGF-f31 was detected by real-time quantitative reverse transcription- PCR and western blotting, respectively. Significance of differences between multiple groups was assessed by one-way ANOVA analysis followed by least significant difference t-test or Kruskal-Wallis H test followed by the Mann-Whitney U test. Results Compared to the control groups, the group of mice administrated ethanol and CC14 developed mild to moderate hepatic steatosis at week 4 of modeling, progressive necroinflammation and perisinusoidal and portal fibrosis from weeks 5-8, and irregular necrosis and bridging fibrosis at week 8. In addition, the model group showed progressive up-regulation of c
