    ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect of resvertrol on the intestinal mucosal cells in rats with severe acute pancreatitis and explore the possible mechanism.MethodsTwenty-four SD rats were randomly divided into the sham-operation (SO) group, severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) group and resveratrol-treated (RES) group. In the SO group, the pancreases were slightly flipped only. In the SAP and RES groups, SAP model was established by retrograde injection of 40 g/L sodium chrolate (1 ml/kg) through the pancreatic duct, and in the latter group, resveratrol (10 mg/kg) was given intravenously. Specimens were obtained 6 h after SAP model establishment and the endotoxin levels in the portal vein was determined with turbidimetry to evaluate the effect of resversatrol on the intestinal endotoxin translocation in SAP rats. Apoptosis of the mucosal cells was detected by TUNEL methods, and the expression of bax and bcl-2 mRNA were determined by RT-PCR. The mitochondrial membrane potential of the intestinal mucosal cells was measured by confocal microscopy.ResultsThe endotoxin levels in the portal vein were significantly lower in RES group than in SAP group (P<0.01). TUNEL assay demonstrated significantly higher apoptotic index of the mucosal cells in SAP group than that in RES group (P<0.01). The expression of Bax mRNA in the intestinal mucosal cell was significantly higher in SAP group than in RES group (P<0.01), whereas the expression of bcl-2 mRNA was significantly lower in SAP group (P<0.01). The mitochondrial membrane potential of the intestinal mucosal cell was significantly lower in SAP group than in RES group (P<0.01).ConclusionResvertrol can inhibit the apoptosis of the intestinal mucosa cells and maintain the integrity of the intestinal barrier to prevent the bacterial and endotoxin translocation in SAP.
