  • Expressions of MVD-CD34 and VEGF in Hepatic Alveolar Hydatid Tissue in Gerbil Model and Their Clinical Significances

    ObjectiveTo detect the expressions of microvessel density (MVD)-CD34 and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in hepatic alveolar hydatid tissue in gerbil model and explore their clinical significances. MethodsSixty health gerbils were randomly equally divided into two groups, an experimental group and a sham operation group, each gerbil was given liver vaccination by opening their abdominal. Each gerbil in the experimental group was injected with approximately 400 echinococcus protoscoleces (0.1 mL), and each gerbil in the sham operation group received a corresponding volume of physiological saline. Six gerbils were sacrificed on day 20, 40, 60, 80, and 100. The hepatic alveolar hydatid tissue (AE) and its surrounding liver tissue (HSAE) were collected from the experimental group and the normal liver tissue (NL) was collected from the sham operation group, and the expressions of MVD-CD34 and VEGF were detected by immunohistochemistry staining (EnVision method). ResultsEchioncoccus multilocularis hydatid tissues were observed over the liver and in the partly abdominal cavity in the experimental group each gerbil by general observation. The expressions of CD34 and VEGF were observed in the AE at each time point after infection and located in the cytoplasmic of endothelial cells. The number of MVD-CD34 of AE at each time point in the AE was (9.83±3.87)/HP, (25.33±6.71)/HP, (34.50±5.50)/HP, (37.67±5.71)/HP and (44.67±4.93)/HP, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the HSAE〔0/HP, (1.17±0.98)/HP, (3.50±1.38)/HP, (5.83±2.71)/HP, and(8.83±2.48)/HP, respectively〕and NL (all were 0), P < 0.05. The point of VEGF at each time point in the AE was 2.95±0.46, 3.90±0.68, 4.27±1.05, 5.33±0.95, and 4.50±0.81 respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the HSAE(1.07±0.63, 1.38±0.75, 1.55±0.83, 1.67±0.47, 2.10±0.55, respectively) and NL (1.02±0.83, 1.12±0.63, 1.26±0.26, 1.20±0.74, 1.21±0.28), P < 0.05. ConclusionAngiogenesis might be involved in infiltrated growth of alveococcus, and VEGF might contribute to angiogenesis of alveolar hydatid tissue.
