Based on Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway to explore mechanism of Qingyi decoction in promoting repair of alveolar epithelial cell damage in severe acute pancreatitis
Objective To explore the role of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in the pathogenesis of lung injury in severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)and the intervention effect of Qingyi decoction(QYD).Methods 40 rats were divided into Sham group,sham operation group(Sham+QYD),SAP group,and QYD treatment group(SAP+QYD).The SAP model was established by retrograde injection of 3.5%sodium taurocholate through the biliopancreatic duct.After 48 hours of modeling,pancreatic and lung tissues were taken,and tissue pathological damage was detected by hematoxylin-eosin(HE)staining,the lung wet/dry weight ratio(W/D)was measured using vacuum drying method,serum IL-6 levels were detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA),and lung tissue apoptosis was detected using TUNEL assay and Western blot(WB).Immunofluorescence assay was used to detect double staining of CyclinD1 and SFTPC,β-catenin and SFTPC.WB method was used to detect the expression of key proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and downstream cyclins.Results Compared with the Sham group,HE slices of SAP group rats showed severe pancreatic and pulmonary lesions,significantly increased serum IL-6 levels,and decreased SFTPC expression,indicating severe damage to alveolar epithelial cells.Compared with SAP rats,QYD treatment showed varying degrees of improvement in various indicators such as pancreatic and lung tissue pathological scores,W/D,IL-6 content,apoptotic proteins Bcl-2,Bax,and the expression of key proteins in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway and downstream cyclins was significantly upregulated.The immunofluorescence double staining results showed that the QYD treatment group had more double stained cells,and the above differences were statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion QYD through activate Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway plays a crucial role in promoting the repair of acute pancreatitis related lung injury by reducing apoptosis of alveolar epithelial cells.
