Heme oxygenase-1 (Hsp32) is involved in the protection of small intestine by whole body mild hyperthermia from ischemia/reperfusion injury in rat.
2005
Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore whether heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is involved in the hyperthermia-provided protection of the small intestine from ischemia/reperfusion injury in rats.Methods: Intestinal damage was induced in male Sprague-Dawley rats by clamping both the superior mesenteric artery and the celiac trunk for 30 min, followed by reperfusion. Whole-body hyperthermia was induced in anesthetized rats by placement in a temperature-controlled water bath. Whole-body hyperthermia to a core temperature of 42–43°C for 15 min was followed by passive cooling. We started the hyperthermic treatment 6 h before the vascular clamping. The severity of the mucosal injury was evaluated by several biochemical markers and histological findings. Hyperthermia-induced heat-shock proteins were detected by Western blotting. We also investigated the effect of zinc protoporphyrin IX (an HO-1 inhibitor) on the protective effect of hyperthermia.Results: The rats, which were killed after ischemia/reperfusion, ...
