c-kit mRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠胃腸道的表達及普蘆卡必利對其表達的影響

c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠胃腸道的表達及普蘆卡必利對其表達的影響摘要：目的：研究c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠胃腸道的表達情況，以及普蘆卡必利對其表達的影響。方法：采用慢傳輸型便秘模型建立大鼠模型，通過逆轉錄-熒光定量PCR（RT-qPCR）技術檢測大鼠胃腸道組織中c-kitmRNA的表達量，同時評估普蘆卡必利對c-kitmRNA表達的調節(jié)作用。結果：與正常對照組相比，慢傳輸型便秘大鼠胃腸道c-kitmRNA的表達水平顯著降低（p<0.05）；同時，普蘆卡必利處理組c-kitmRNA的表達量顯著高于未經(jīng)處理的便秘組（p<0.05）。結論：c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠中降低，普蘆卡必利能夠顯著提高其表達量，這可能是普蘆卡必利改善便秘的一種機制。

引言：慢傳輸型便秘是一種常見的胃腸道疾病，其主要特征為大便排泄時間延長及排便頻率降低。目前，對于慢傳輸型便秘的治療，藥物治療是一種主要的方法。普蘆卡必利是一種針對5-HT4受體的激動劑，具有增加腸道蠕動及改善便秘的作用。c-kit是一種重要的細胞因子受體，在胃腸道內廣泛分布，對于腸道蠕動具有重要的調節(jié)作用。本研究旨在探究c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠中的表達及普蘆卡必利對其表達的影響，為便秘的治療提供新的治療途徑。

材料與方法：實驗動物：健康SD雄性大鼠，體重180-200g。實驗組：40只大鼠建立慢傳輸型便秘模型；對照組：20只大鼠。其中，慢傳輸型便秘模型組隨機分為兩組，每組20只大鼠。實驗組給予普通飲食和低鈣飲食，除去飲用水外，不提供任何水果和蔬菜。對照組給予通常飲食，并可食用蔬菜和水果。同時，實驗組一組予以普蘆卡必利治療，另一組不予處理。實驗周期為28天。收集所有實驗動物的空腸、回腸和結腸組織，并使用逆轉錄-熒光定量PCR檢測其c-kitmRNA表達水平。

結果：慢傳輸型便秘組大鼠的c-kitmRNA表達量顯著降低，與對照組相比，p<0.05；與未經(jīng)普蘆卡必利處理的便秘組相比，普蘆卡必利處理組c-kitmRNA的表達量顯著增加，p<0.05。

討論：本研究結果提示，c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠中表達下調，這可能是導致便秘的一個因素。普蘆卡必利能夠增加c-kitmRNA表達水平，從而改變腸道蠕動，進而改善便秘癥狀。因此，本研究結果為便秘的治療提供了新思路。

結論：c-kitmRNA在慢傳輸型便秘大鼠中表達下調，普蘆卡必利能夠顯著提高其表達水平，這可能是普蘆卡必利改善便秘的機制之一。該研究結果為便秘的治療提供了新的思路，為臨床實踐提供了一定的參考價值。
