摘    要:
背景:食管高敏感是胃食管反流病(GERD)患者烧心等症状产生的重要原因。瞬时受体电位香草酸亚型1(TRPV1)和电压门控钠离子通道1.8(NaV1.8)可能在食管高敏感的调控中发挥重要作用。目的:检测TRPV1、NaV1.8在GERD动物模型食管和迷走神经感觉神经元中的表达,探究其在食管高敏感中的作用。方法:12只雄性豚鼠随机分为对照组和GERD组,后者通过饮用盐酸胃蛋白酶溶液建立GERD模型。通过观察动物体质量变化、食管炎症组织学评分和炎症细胞因子表达验证造模成功与否。通过分析心率变异性(HRV)明确动物是否处于内脏高敏感状态。以免疫荧光法、qRT-PCR和蛋白质印迹法检测食管、迷走神经结状神经节和颈静脉神经节中的TRPV1、NaV1.8表达、分布和共表达情况。结果:GERD组食管炎症组织学评分显著高于对照组(0.85±0.43对0.22±0.45),促炎细胞因子表达增高,抗炎细胞因子表达降低,体质量增长缓慢(P均<0.05)。造模前两组HRV指标低频/高频(LF/HF)比值无明显差异(P>0.05),造模后GERD组LF/HF比值显著增高(P<0.05)。GERD组食管黏膜上皮和颈静脉神经节TRPV1、NaV1.8表达和共表达均显著上调(P均<0.05),结状神经节中两者表达无明显变化(P均>0.05)。结论:在食管酸暴露情况下,食管黏膜上皮TRPV1、NaV1.8表达增高,迷走神经颈静脉神经节中两者表达亦显著上调,促进迷走神经通路伤害性信号的传递,最终导致食管高敏感发生。

Abstract:
Background: Hypersensitivity of esophagus is an important cause of heartburn and other symptoms in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It has been revealed that transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 (TRPV1) and voltage-gated sodium channel NaV1.8 might contribute to the regulation of esophageal hypersensitivity. Aims: To explore the expression levels of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in esophagus and vagal sensory neurons in GERD animal model and their roles in mediating esophageal hypersensitivity. Methods: Twelve male guinea pigs were randomly allocated into control group and GERD group. Model of GERD was established by drinking hydrochloric-pepsinogen acid water and verified by body weight monitoring, esophageal inflammatory histological scoring and measurements of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines. Visceral hypersensitivity was determined by heart rate variability (HRV) analysis. Expressions, distribution, and co-expression of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 in esophagus and vagal nodose/jugular ganglia were quantified by immunofluorescence, qRT-PCR and Western blotting. Results: Compared with the control group, score of esophageal inflammatory histology in GERD group was increased (0.85±0.43 vs. 0.22±0.45), accompanied by elevated proinflammatory cytokine expressions and reduced antiinflammatory cytokine expression (all P<0.05). The weight gain was also slower in GERD group than in control group (P<0.05). As an indicator of HRV analysis, the low frequency to high frequency (LF/HF) ratio had no significant difference between GERD group and control group before model construction (P>0.05), but increased significantly in GERD group after modeling (P<0.05). In GERD group, expressions and co-expression of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 were up-regulated in esophageal mucosal epithelium and jugular ganglion (all P<0.05), but not changed in nodose ganglion (all P>0.05). Conclusions: In the acid-exposed esophagus, expressions of TRPV1 and NaV1.8 were up-regulated in esophageal mucosal epithelium and vagal jugular ganglion, thus promoting the nociceptive transmission in vagus nerve pathway, and ultimately resulting in esophageal hypersensitivity.
