Abstract
Objective To investigate the change of protein expression of lung tissue of rabbit after ischemic preconditioning (IP) and try to elucidate the potential protective mechanism of IP. Methods 12 domestic rabbits were randomly divided into group IP and group control (6 rabbits in each group). All the left lungs were afflicted by ische mia-reperfusion injury except that those in group IP were subject to IP prior to ischemic phase. 2-DE was employed to separate the total protein of the lung tissue. PDQuest analysis software was used to distinguish the differently expressed protein spot. MALDI-TOF-MS and Mascot database searching were exploited to identify these proteins. Results 1) IP attenuated the ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. 2) The proteomic analysis showed 35 target proteins, of which 17 were characterized such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3k) delta catalytic subunit. Conclusions 1) Proteomic is a promising tool to investigate the IP and ischemia-reperfusion lung injury. 2) That IP inhibits inflammatory cascades through phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signal transduction pathway may be one of its protective mechanism.
