Abstract: Objective To study the impact of simvastatin on α-subunit epithehal sodium channel (α-ENaC) mRNA expression in primary culture alveolar type Ⅱ (AT Ⅱ ) epithelial cell of rats induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in vitro.Methods AT Ⅱ of primary generation were isolated from adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats.The cells were randomly divided into five groups:blank control group,LPS injured group (final concentration of LPS 1 mg/L),simvastatin low and high concentration groups (final concentration of simvastatin 20 μmol/L,30 μmol/L,respectively),solution control group.Then,after being intervened for 1,12 and 24 hours,the level of human tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-lβ (IL-1β) were monitored hy enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and α-ENaC mRNA expression was tested by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR ).Results After being intervened for 1,12 and 24 hours,expressions of TNF-α and IL-1 3 in LPS injured group were obviously higher than those in blank control group.Expressions of TNF-α (ng/L) and IL-1β (ng/L)at 1,12 and 24 hours in simvastatin low concentration group were significantly decreased compared with those in LPS injured group (TNF-α 1 hour:1178.80 ± 127.43 vs.2336.00 ± 170.04,12 hours:1003.60 ± 59.61 vs.2479.80 ±210.41,24 hours:695.80 ± 25.24 vs.1167.60 ± 132.72 ; IL-β 1 hour:285.00 ± 42.60 vs.429.60 ± 27.39,12 hours:238.60 ± 24.12 vs.822.20 ± 12.74,24 hours:213.40 ± 17.87 vs.637.60 ± 22.96,all P<0.05).Expressions of TNF-α and IL-1β in high concentration group were decreased more obviously than those in low concentration group (TNF-α 1 hour:965.60 ± 24.45 vs.1178.80 ± 127.43,12 hours:522.80 ± 16.89 vs.1003.60 ± 59.61,24 hours:252.40 ± 17.64 vs.695.80 ± 25.24; IL-1β 1 hour:225.60 ± 34.44 vs.285.00 ± 42.60,12 hours:190.60 ± 17.64 vs.238.60 ± 24.12,24 hours:152.80 ± 14.70 vs.213.40 ± 17.87,all P<0.05 ),but increased compared with those in blank control group.After being intervened for 1 hour,no evident changes were observed in expression of α-ENaC mRNA in all groups.After being intervened for 12 hours and 24 hours,evident decrease in expression of α-ENaC mRNA (A value) was observed in LPS injured group compared with blank control group (12 hours:0.211 ± 0.021 vs.0.496 ±0.027,24 hour:0.253 ±0.030 vs.0.482 ±0.030,both P<0.05).Expressions of α-ENaC mRNA in simvastatin low concentration group evidently increased compared with those in LPS injured group ( 12 hours:0.363 ±0.030 vs.0.211 ± 0.021,24 hours:0.309 ± 0.024 vs.0.253 ± 0.030,both P<0.05 ).Expressions of α-ENaC mRNA in simvastatin high concentration group increased more obviously compared with those in low concentration group (12 hour:0.413 ±0.034 vs.0.363 ±0.030,24 hours:0.346 ±0.024 vs.0.309 ±0.024,both P<0.05),but decreased compared with blank control group.No evident difference in expressions of all indexes in solution control group was observed compared with those in blank control group.Conclusions High dose simvastatin could improve α -ENaC mRNA expression in primary culture AT Ⅱ epithelial cells of rats.This may act by modulation the level of TNF-α and IL-1β.
