摘要:  
为探讨氟致甲状腺肿大的分子机理,选用4周龄SD大鼠饮用不同浓度的NaF水溶液,复制了氟中毒致大鼠甲状腺肿模型,光镜下观察了甲状腺的形态结构变化,并用RT-PCR技术检测了甲状腺组织中iNOS mRNA和VEGF mRNA的表达情况。结果,氟中毒大鼠甲状腺微血管明显扩张、增生,表现为明显的结节性甲状腺肿;与正常对照组大鼠相比,氟中毒组大鼠甲状腺组织中iNOS mRNA和VEGF mRNA的表达水平显著升高(P<0.05)。结果表明,长期摄入过量氟导致甲状腺发生结节性肿大的机理之一是,氟可刺激甲状腺中iNOS基因和VEGF基因的过量表达,进而造成甲状腺组织内微血管增生。

Abstract: To investigate the mechanism of goiter caused by fluoride,goiter model of SD rats was produced by administering sodium fluoride in drinking water.Histological section of thyroid gland was made,and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) and vessel endothelial growth factor( VEGF) were determined by RT-PCR.Results showed that,the capillary vessels in thyroid glands of the rats treated with fluoride proliferated and an obvious nodular goiter occurred in the fluoride-treated rats.Compared with the control,the contents of iNOS and VEGF in the thyroid glands of the rats with fluorosis was increased significantly(P<0.05).It was concluded from the results that the mechanism of goiter caused by fluoride was that fluoride induced the over-expressions of iNOS and VEGF mRNAs in thyroid gland,which caused hyperplasia of capillary vessels.

Key words: fluoride;goiter;iNOS gene;VEGF gene
