The study investigates the effect and mechanism of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on intestinal barrier damage in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). The results suggest that upregulation of HO-1 expression can attenuate SAP-induced intestinal mucosal barrier damage, which is achieved through the inhibition of MLCK/p-MLC signaling pathway.
In severe acute pancreatitis (SAP), intestinal mucosal barrier damage can cause intestinal bacterial translocation and induce or aggravate systemic infections. Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is a validated antioxidant and cytoprotective agent. This research aimed to investigate the effect and mechanism of HO-1 on SAP-induced intestinal barrier damage in SAP rats. Healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly separated into the shamoperated group, SAP group, SAP + Hemin group, and SAP + Znpp group. The rat model of SAP was established by retrograde injection of sodium taurocholate (5%) into the biliopancreatic duct. Hemin (a potent HO-1 activator) and Znpp (a competitive inhibitor of HO-1) were injected intraperitoneally in the selected groups 24 h before SAP. Serum and intestinal tissue samples were collected for analysis after 24 h in each group. Hemin pretreatment significantly reduced systemic inflammation, intestinal oxidative stress, and intestinal epithelial apoptosis in SAP by increasing HO-1 expression. Meanwhile, pretreatment with Hemin abolished the inhibitory effect on the expression of the tight junction proteins and significantly inhibited the activation of the MLCK/PMLC signaling pathway. Conversely, ZnPP completely reversed these effects. Our study indicates that upregulation of HO-1 expression attenuates the intestinal mucosal barrier damage in SAP. The protective effect of HO-1 on the intestine is attributed to MLCK/p-MLC signaling pathway inhibition.
