摘要:
目的 探讨体外循环辅助（cardiopulmonary bypass，CPB）心脏术后发生急性肾损伤（acute kidney injury，AKI）患者使用局部枸橼酸抗凝对NLRP3及下游炎性通路表达的影响。 方法 选取2019年4月至2021年4月在昆明医科大学附属延安医院心脏大血管外科收治并接受体外循环辅助的开放性心脏手术的急性肾损伤患者共37例，其中心脏术后需行CRRT的AKI组患者31例；并随机选取心脏术后无AKI对照组32例。分别测定各组心脏超声、体外循环辅助时间、肝肾功能、心肌酶学等基线资料，采用qRT-PCR法测定NLRP-3及凋亡通路Caspase-1 mRNA相对表达量，采用ELISA法测定下游细胞因子（IL-1β、IL-6、IL-18）的表达水平，并将NLRP-3与上述各项指标进行相关性分析。 结果 与对照组相比，AKI组的体外循环辅助时间（转流时间、阻断时间、停跳时间、并行循环时间）显著延长（P < 0.05）。qRT-PCR结果显示：在AKI组中，CVVH治疗24 h、48 h后较治疗前NLRP-3和Caspase-1的mRNA表达下降（P < 0.05），且随治疗时间延长其表达进一步下降（P < 0.05）。在对照组中，术后各时间点NLRP-3和Caspase-1的mRNA表达均较术前升高（P < 0.05），在术后48 h表达开始下降（P < 0.05）。ELISA结果显示：在AKI组中，CVVH治疗24 h、48 h后较治疗前下游细胞因子IL-1β、IL-6与IL-18表达下降（P < 0.05）。在对照组中，术后各时间点下游细胞因子IL-1β、IL-6与IL-18表达均较术前升高（P < 0.05），在术后48 h表达开始下降（P < 0.05）。根据Spearman相关性分析结果提示：经局部枸橼酸抗凝CVVH治疗后的NLRP-3表达与阻断时间、停跳时间呈正相关（r = 0.514，P = 0.003；r = 0.401，P = 0.025）。 结论 体外循环心脏术后AKI患者NLRP-3及下游炎性因子表达升高；局部枸橼酸抗凝方式可有效降低NLRP-3及下游炎性因子的表达；CVVH治疗后的NLRP-3表达与阻断时间、停跳时间呈正相关。 -

Abstract:Objectives To explore the effects of regional citric acid anticoagulation on the expression of NLRP3 and its downstream inflammatory pathway in patients with acute kidney injury （AKI） after cardiopulmonary bypass （CPB）. Methods A total of 37 patients with acute kidney injury who received open-heart surgery assisted by cardiopulmonary bypass from April 2019 to April 2021 in The Department of Cardiovascular Surgery, Yan’an Hospital Affiliated to Kunming Medical University were selected, including 31 patients in the AKI group requiring CRRT after cardiac surgery. 32 patients without AKI after cardiac surgery were randomly selected as the control group. Cardiac ultrasound, cardiopulmonary bypass auxiliary time, liver and kidney function, myocardial enzymology and other baseline data were measured in each group. The mRNA relative expression levels of NLRP-3 and apoptotic pathway caspase-1 were determined by qRT-PCR, and the expression levels of downstream cytokines （IL-1β, IL-6, IL-18） were determined by ELISA. The correlation between NLRP-3 and the above indicators was analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the auxiliary time of cardiopulmonary bypass （cardiopulmonary bypass time, blocking time, stop time and parallel circulation time） in AKI group was significantly longer （P < 0.05）. qRT-PCR results showed that in AKI group, the mRNA expressions of NLRP-3 and Caspase-1 decreased after 24 h and 48 h CVVH treatment compared with before treatment （P < 0.05）, and further decreased with the prolonged treatment time （P < 0.05）. In the control group, the mRNA expressions of NLRP-3 and Caspase-1 increased at all postoperative time points compared with those before surgery （P < 0.05）, and began to decrease at 48h after surgery （P < 0.05）. ELISA results showed that in AKI group, the expression of downstream cytokines IL-1β, IL-6 and IL-18 decreased after 24h and 48h CVVH treatment compared with before treatment （P < 0.05）. In the control group, the expressions of downstream cytokines Il-1 β, Il-6 and Il-18 at all postoperative time points were increased compared with those before surgery （P < 0.05）, and began to decrease 48h after surgery （P < 0.05）. Spearman correlation analysis indicated that nlRP-3 expression was positively correlated with blocking time and stopping time after regional citric acid anticoagulant CVVH treatment （R = 0.514, P = 0.003; R = 0.401, P = 0.025）. Conclusions The expression of NLRP-3 and downstream inflammatory factors increased in patients with AKI after cardiopulmonary bypass. Regional citric acid anticoagulation can effectively reduce the expression of NLRP-3 and downstream inflammatory factors. NLRP-3 expression after CVVH treatment was positively correlated with blocking time and stopping time. -
