| Popis: | Recently we demonstrated a protective effect of endotoxin preconditioning 24 hours before pancreatic ischemia-reperfusion injury, which has also been described for other organs. The mechanisms underlying this phenomenon, such as differential gene expression, are poorly investigated. We chose to approach this question by investigating differential gene expression in the rat pancreas over the time course of endotoxin pretreatment. Male Wistar rats (5 groups, 5 animals per group) were pretreated with endotoxin intraperitoneally (1 mg/kg of body weight). After treatment at 30 minutes, and at 3 and 24 hours the pancreas was removed. Untreated animals and animals with injection of saline solution served as controls. After RNA isolation, RNA was pooled and hybridized to Affymetrix chips to measure the relative mRNA levels of 7000 genes and 1000 expression sequence tags. Three hours after administration of endotoxin there was an activation of proinflammatory transcription factors and other proinflammatory genes. After 24 hours there was a clear decrease of these proinflammatory genes, but a remaining and increasing upregulation of important antiapoptotic genes, antiproteases, and other probably protective genes. There was also a significant upregulation of complement factors. It was surprising that heat-shock proteins and other typical immediate early genes of the AP-1 complex were not upregulated. Our data show that 24 hours after endotoxin stress there is a regulation of a network of genes that represents a multifaceted preconditioning. As most important factors, inhibition of apoptosis and antiproteatic strategies are identified. Heat-shock proteins seem to play no important role in the mechanism of endotoxin preconditioning. |
