[The Expression of Sphingosine-1-phosphate and Sphingosine-1-phosphate Receptor 1 in Mouse Model of Pulmonary Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury].

Objective: To investigate the expressions of sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) and S1P G-protein-coupled receptor 1 (S1PR1) in pulmonary ischemia reperfusion injury (PIRI) tissues and explore their relationship.

Methods: The model of PIRI was established male C57BL/6 mice (=8). The left pulmonary hilum was occluded for 30 min with a microvascular clamp through a left thoracotomy. Reperfusion began with removal of the clamp. Normal group (=8) and sham group (=8) were set as control. The hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining of ultrastructural changes and wet-to-dry mass ratio in lung tissues were measured for judging the succeed model. The mRNA expressions of sphingosine kinase 1 () and were determined by real-time PCR, and ELISA was used to detect the concentrations of S1P and S1PR1 in the lung tissues.

Results: The mRNA expressions of and the concentrations of S1P and S1PR1 and wet-to-dry mass ratio of the lung tissues in ischemia-reperfusion mice were higher than those normal mice and sham operation mice (<0.05).

Conclusions: The increased expressions of S1P and S1PR1 in lung tissues after PIRI suggest that the S1P/S1PR1 signal pathway is involved in the pathophysiological process of PIRI, and may be a potential therapeutic target for it.
