Methods SD rat models of PCP were induced by subcutaneous injection of 25 mg cortisone acetate, normal control and negative control as well as bacterial pneumonia group were set up for comparison. During 8~ 12 weeks, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of rats was collected. Total nucleate cells of BALF were counted and differentiated as well as the concentrations of surfactant protein A (SP-A) and surfactant protein D (SP-D) were measured by immunoblotting assay. Results The rats were divided into three immunosuppressive groups, plus a normal control group. Group A: normal control (n=6) consisted of healthy SD rats; group B: negative control (n=6) employed rats with cortisone acetate injection over 8 weeks without lung infection; group C: bacterial pneumonia (n=11), rats were injected with cortisone acetate over 8 weeks and resulted in bacterial pneumonia without other pathogens isolated; group D (n=14): rats were injected with cortisone acetate during 8~12 weeks and resulted in PCP without other pathogens isolated. During PCP infection, the total cell counts and the percentage of polymorphonuclears (PMNs) in BALF were significantly increased (P<0.01), but were lower than those in the bacterial pneumonia group. The concentration of SP-A of BALF in PCP (45.1 μg/ml±22.1 μg/ml) was significantly increased in comparison with that in negative control group (16.2 μg/ml±9.9 μg/ml, P<0.05) and that in bacterial pneumonia group (6.2 μg/ml±5.6 μg/ml, P<0.001). We also found that the relative content of SP-D was significantly higher in PCP (24 249±4 780 grey values) than that in both negative control (13 384±2 887 grey values, P<0.001) and bacterial pneumonia group (11 989±2 750 grey values, P<0.001). SP-A and SP-D were also higher in moderate to severe group of PCP than those seen in mild group (P<0.01, P<0.001). Conclusion There was obvious increase of SP-A and SP-D in PCP rats, and particularly, the change of which was greater than that in bacterial pneumonia. Therefore, the alteration of SP-A and SP-D may be of implication in the prevention and management of PCP. 【Key words】Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia; Bronchoalveolar lavage fluids; Surfactant protein A, D 卡氏肺孢子虫肺炎(PCP)是艾滋病(AIDS)等免疫损害宿主最常见的呼吸系统感染性疾病[1],卡氏肺孢子虫(PC)进入肺泡腔与肺泡上皮相互作用,导致肺泡表面衬层发生改变,肺泡腔内充满大量渗出物。表面活性蛋白A和D(Surfactant Protein A、D;SP-A、SP-D)是肺泡腔内大量渗出物中主要的成分之一。SP-A、SP-D是结构相似的糖蛋白,由肺泡clara细胞及Ⅱ型上皮细胞合成分泌,在调节表面活性磷脂代谢及肺防御功能方面起重要作用。近年来有部分研究发现AIDS合并PCP时肺内SP-A、SP-D水平增高。我们应用醋酸可的松(Cortisone Acetate, CA)诱导SD大鼠建立PCP动物模型,研究SP-A、SP-D的变化,并与CA诱导的免疫抑制大鼠的细菌性肺炎、阴性对照组及正常对照比较,以探讨SP-A、SP-D在PCP发病机制中的作用及治疗中的意义。 材料和方法 一、PCP动物模型的建立 清洁级雄性SD大鼠(由上海医科大学实验动物部提供)50只,体重180~220 g。每2~3只置于1只鼠笼。饲养于空气层流室,室温20~24℃,环境清洁,鼠笼及垫料定期更换、消毒。喂正常饲料,饮含0.5 g/L盐酸四环素的冷开水,自由摄食和饮水。每周2次皮下注射醋酸可的松25 mg造成免疫抑制状态。喂养过程中死亡鼠去除,共8~12周。 二、支气管肺泡灌洗(BAL)方法 腹腔内注射1%戊巴比妥钠40 mg/kg麻醉动物后,固定,置于超净工作台内。用新洁尔灭消毒颈胸部,铺无菌洞巾。抽尽心脏血使动物死亡。无菌条件下进行气管插管,用20 cm H2O 压力将8 ml无菌生理盐水灌入单侧肺内,然后回收获取支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)。
