OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of gavage with lactococcus lactis (L. Lactis) recombinant heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) gene on alleviation of intestinal inflammation and protection of the intestinal mucosa in rats with hemorrhagic shock. METHODS: A model of rats with hemorrhagic shock was reproduced in 30 healthy SD male rats. The rats were randomly divided into the L. Lactis recombinant HO-1 gene group (HO group, n=10), L. Lactis group (LL group, n=10) and phosphate buffer group (PBS group, n=10). These agents were respectively gavaged 24 hours before the experiment. Rats were re-anesthetized 1 hour after fluid resuscitation. The mortality, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity, bacterial translocation, the pathologic changes, the contents of HO-1, tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) in the intestine were determined and compared. RESULTS: Compared with LL group and PBS group, the mortality, Chiu's grade and the bacterial translocation rate of HO group were significantly decreased (all P<0.05) but the content of HO-1 and the level of IL-10 in HO group were markedly increased (both P<0.05). Compared with HO group and LL group, the MPO activity of PBS group was obviously increased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The recombinant L. Lactis has the effect to deliver HO-1, which has protective effect on the intestinal mucosa in lessening the inflammation of the intestine and the incidence of bacterial translocation.
