目的:探讨磷脂酰肌醇3激酶/蛋白激酶B(PI3K/PKB或PI3K/AKT)信号通路抑制剂对前列腺增生的影响及机制。方法:选用鼠龄12周的雄性SD大鼠48只,随机分为4组:假手术对照组;BPH模型组;LY294002 50 mg组和LY294002 100 mg组,每组12只。大鼠去势后肌注丙酸睾酮10 mg/(kg.d)连续30 d建模,LY294002 50 mg组和100 mg组同时肌注LY294002 50 mg/kg和100 mg/kg,隔日1次。给药30 d后,切除各组大鼠前列腺组织,称取前列腺重量,切片观察前列腺组织细胞结构变化。免疫组化法检测K i-67、凋亡相关蛋白Bc l-2与Bax的表达情况;核酸末端原位标记法(TUNEL)检测细胞凋亡情况。结果:各组大鼠前列腺湿重(mg)和前列腺指数:假手术对照组:551±10.8,1.61±0.05;模型组:687±13.8,2.15±0.12;LY294002 50 mg组:623±23.5,1.95±0.11,与模型组相比,差异有显著性(P<0.05);LY294002 100 mg组:561±12.6,1.71±0.18,与模型组相比,差异具有极显著性(P<0.01)。凋亡相关蛋白Bax与Bc l-2的表达:假手术对照组:16.7%,16.7%;模型组:16.7%,58.3%;LY294002 50 mg组:33.3%,33.3%,与模型组相比,差异有显著性(P<0.05);LY294002 100 mg组:50.0%,25.0%,与模型组相比,差异极有显著性(P<0.01)。增殖和凋亡指数(%):假手术对照组:上皮组织14.2±6.4,6.5±1.8,间质组织7.6±2.6,2.5±0.3;模型组:上皮组织50.9±12.8,2.7±1.4,间质组织16.5±5.7,1.3±0.8;LY294002 50 mg组:上皮组织32.0±13.8,6.2±2.5,间质组织12.1±3.8,1.6±1.1;与模型组相比,差异有显著性(P<0.05);LY294002 100 mg组:上皮组织17.8±14.7,7.4±3.6,间质组织9.5±3.4,2.2±1.3;与模型组相比,差异有显著性(P<0.05)或极显著性(P<0.01)。结论:前列腺增生动物模型前列腺细胞增殖增加和凋亡的相对减少参与了BPH的发生发展过程。PI3K/AKT介导的信号通路在前列腺增生的发生发展过程中起重要作用,阻断PI3K/AKT信号通路具有抑制前列腺增生的作用。
Objective:To explore the effect of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase/protein kinase B(PI3K/PKB or PI3K/AKT) signaling pathway inhibitor on benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH) and its mechanism.Methods:Forty-eight SD male adult rats aged 12 weeks were equally randomized to 4 groups:sham operation control,BPH model,50 mg LY294002 and 100 mg LY294002.The BPH models were made by muscular injection of testosterone propionate at 10 mg/kg/d for 30 days following castration.The LY294002 groups were treated with the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway inhibitor LY294002 at 50 and 100 mg/kg every other day for 30 days.The prostates of the rats were weighed and the structural changes of the prostatic histocytes observed under the light microscope.The expressions of Ki-67,anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 and apoptotic Bax were detected by immunohistochemistry,and the apoptosis of prostatic cells determined by terminal de-oxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling.Results:The prostate wet weight and prostatic index were(551±10.8) mg and 1.61±0.05 in the sham operation group,(687±13.8) mg and 2.15±0.12 in the BPH model group,(623±23.5) mg and 1.95±0.11 in the LY294002 50 mg group(P〈0.05 versus the BPH models) and(561±12.6) mg and 1.71±0.18 in the LY294002 100 mg group(P〈0.01 versus the BPH models).The expressions of apoptotic Bax and anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 were 16.7% and 16.7% in the sham operation group,16.7% and 58.3% in the BPH model group,33.3% and 33.3% in the LY294002 50 mg group(P〈0.05 versus the BPH models),and 50.0% and 25.0% in the LY294002 100 mg group(P〈0.01 versus the BPH models).The proliferative and apoptotic indexes were 14.2±6.4 and 6.5±1.8 in the epithelial and 7.6±2.6 and 2.5±0.3 in the interstitial tissue of the sham operation group,50.9±12.8 and 2.7±1.4 in the epithelial and 16.5±5.7 and 1.3±0.8 in the interstitial tissue of the BPH models,32.0±13.8 and 6.2±2.5 in the epithelial and 12.1±3.8 and 1.6±1.1 in the interstitial tissue of the LY294002 50 mg group(P〈0.05 versus the BPH models),and 17.8±14.7 and 7.4±3.6 in the epithelial and 9.5±3.4 and 2.2±1.3 in the interstitial tissue of the LY294002 100 mg group(P〈0.01 versus the BPH models).Conclusion:The increased proliferation and decreased apoptosis of prostatic cells in the BPH animal models might be involved in the development and progression of BPH.The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of BPH,which could be inhibited by blocking the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
