dc.description.abstract | Objective: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a potentially lethal disease among premature infants. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether hypoxia-reoxygenation (H/R)-induced intestinal injury was due to increased apoptosis of the intestinal mucosa in young mice and whether pre-treatment of the animals with recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), a known anti-apoptotic factor, could protect the intestinal cells from H/R-induced apoptosis or intestinal injury. Study Design: Young mice were divided into three groups: group 1 mice (H/R) were hypoxia-reoxygenation; group 2 mice (H/R + IGF-I) were treated with recombinant human IGF-I by intraperitoneal injection (1 µg/g b.w. once daily) for 7 days, and group 3 mice served as control. Hypoxia was induced by placing young mice in a Plexiglas chamber consisting of 10% oxygen for 60 min. After hypoxia, the young mice were reoxygenated for 10 min with 100% oxygen. Intestinal generation of substances reactive to thiobarbituric acid (TBARS) and active caspase-3 were measured in H/R-induced intestinal injury. Results: Increased numbers of apoptotic cells (apoptotic index) across the villi in young mice subjected to H/R were observed with the TUNEL reaction whereas few apoptotic cells existed in the control animals. In addition, H/R-induced intestinal damage in the H/R + IGF-I group was greatly attenuated, with necrosis limited partially to the mucosa. Tissue-active caspase-3 levels in the H/R group were found to be significantly higher when compared with that of the H/R + IGF-I group of mice and control. However, TBARS concentrations in the intestine were similar in H/R groups when compared to the intestine of control animals. Conclusion: The present study suggests that both necrosis and apoptosis, via mechanisms occurring due to oxygen-derived free radicals and activation of caspase-3, play a role in the pathogenesis of H/R-induced bowel injury. We also show that IGF-I protect intestinal mucosa from necrosis and apoptosis from intestinal H/R injury. Copyright © 2005 S. Karger AG, Basel. | en_US |
