Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The objective of the present study is to explore the effect of lentivirus-mediated HuR interference on the development and progression of postoperative ileus and the role of HuR in the regulation of the p38/MAPK-activated protein kinase-2 (MK2) signaling pathway during postoperative ileus. METHODS: To establish a mouse model of lentiviral transduction, we first determined the optimum effective titer of lentiviral vectors for transduction of the murine small intestine via the abdominal cavity by using hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining, immunohistochemistry, detection of GFP messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein, and Western blotting. To investigate the effect of HuR interference on gene expression during postoperative ileus, we established a mouse model of postoperative ileus and used RT-PCR to measure the expression of proinflammatory genes, ELISA to measure the expression of serum inflammatory cytokines, immunohistochemistry to evaluate inflammatory cell infiltration in the small intestine, HE staining of paraffin sections to examine the pathology of the small intestine, and Western blotting to measure HuR expression and identify its role in the regulation of the p38/MK2 inflammatory pathway. RESULTS: We successfully designed a mouse model of intraperitoneal transduction of HuR-RNAi lentivirus. When HuR gene expression was suppressed in a mouse model of postoperative ileus, the infiltration of inflammatory cells, the expression of proinflammatory genes, and the levels of serum inflammatory cytokines were significantly reduced. This reduction in inflammation correlated with reduced cytoplasmic localization of HuR and reduced activation of MK2. CONCLUSIONS: Within the p38/MK2 signal transduction pathway, HuR may increase the mRNA stability of various inflammatory cytokines, thereby promoting inflammation that causes postoperative ileus. Suppressing the expression of HuR in a postoperative ileus model can effectively suppress the postoperative ileus inflammatory reaction. HuR might serve as a candidate drug target for the prevention and mitigation of postoperative ileus.
