- Abstract
- Background: Increased pro-inflammatory cytokines are suggested in the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). The transcription factor, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B), is a central regulator of inflammatory and immune responses, and recent rodent NEC models have shown that NF-kappa B may have a critical role in the disease processes that underlie NEC. Heat shock proteins have important functions in response to stress-related events in a variety of systems, including digestive organs. Objectives: We investigated whether heat shock pretreatment protects intestinal epithelial damage in the early NEC rat model. Methods: We generated human NEC-like lesions in neonatal rat ileum by administering oral endotoxin (10 mg/kg), intermittent 8% hypoxia, and hypertonic formula. Heat shock was administered by raising the chamber temperature to 42 degrees C for 20 min, 3 h prior to endotoxin ingestion. Results: Heat shock pretreatment increased the expression of HSP70 in the ileal tissue and attenuated histological severity of early experimental NEC. NF-kappa B was activated in the ileal tissue of the NEC group and this activation was attenuated by heat shock pretreatment, which was determined by electrophoretic mobility shift assay and Western blot analysis of p50 in subcellular fractionated samples. Conclusions: Heat shock pretreatment reduced the incidence and severity of early experimental NEC in rats. A possible mechanism underlying this protective effect includes inhibition of NF-kappa B activation through increased HSP70 expression. Copyright (C) 2012 S. Karger AG, Basel
