Background: Studies showed that thyroid function plays an important role in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, changes in brain thyroid hormone and related receptors in the early stage of AD were rarely reported. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between the early stage of AD and local thyroid hormone and its receptors in the brain. Methods: The animal model was established by stereotactic injection of okadaic acid (OA) into hippocampal region for the experiment, and 0.9% NS for the control. Blood sample from each mouse was collected and then the mice were sacrificed and the brain tissue was collected for detecting free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroid hormone (FT4), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and phosphorylated tau, amyloid-β (Aβ) and thyroid hormone receptors (THRs) in the hippocampus of the mice were detected as well. Results: Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay showed that compared with the control, FT3, FT4, TSH and TRH in brain were significantly increased in the experimental group; in the serum, FT4, TSH and TRH were increased, while FT3 had no change; western blot analysis indicated that the expression of THR α and β in the hippocampus of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control. Conclusion: Based on the results of this study, a mouse AD model can be established successfully by injecting a small dose of OA into the hippocampus. We speculate that early AD brain and circulating thyroid dysfunction may be an early local and systemic stress repair response.
Objective:To investigate the expression of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles in patients with severe community acquired pneumonia (CAP), and to explore the effect of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles expression on the severity of CAP and the development of inflammation.Methods:Twenty patients with CAP who were admitted to the Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine in People′s Hospital of Honghuagang District from April 2018 to April 2019 (including eight cases of severe CAP and 12 cases of common CAP) were randomly selected.The patients were routinely tested for inflammatory indicators such as procalcitonin, blood routine, and C-reactive protein, and the patients were assessed for criticality by biochemical and other laboratory tests.The expressions of NLRP3, interleukin-β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in sputum cells and peripheral blood mononuclear cells were detected by Western blot.The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Results:The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of common CAP group and severe CAP group was higher than that of healthy control group (all P<0.05).The expression of NLRP3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of severe CAP group was higher than that of common CAP group ( P<0.05).The expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in sputum cells of common CAP group and severe CAP group was higher than those of healthy control group (all P<0.05).The expressions of IL-1β and TNF-α in sputum cells of severe CAP group was higher than those of common CAP group (all P<0.05).In addition, the expression of IL-1β in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of common CAP group was higher than that of healthy control group ( P<0.05).TNF-α expression in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of severe CAP group was significantly higher than that of common CAP group and healthy control group (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The expressions of NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles are higher in CAP group, especially in severe CAP group, indicating that NLRP3 inflammatory corpuscles can represent the degree of inflammatory response or the severity of disease in CAP patients.
