AIM: To clarify the protective effect of long-term administration of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitor fluvastatin on ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats and its mechanisms. METHODS: Myocardial infarction were established by ligated left coronary anterior artery in SD rats, 24 hours after the operation, the survival rats were treated by gavage fluvastatin (20 mg·kg-1·d-1) or distilled water for 8 weeks. Doppler echocardiography, homodynamic and cardiac histomorphometry were used to assess the ventricular remodeling and cardiac function. The plasma levels of total cholesterol (Tch), creatinine (Cr), glutamic-oxal (o) acetic transaminase (AST), lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione perioxidase (GSH-PX), nitrogen monoxide (NO2-/NO3-) were detected. RESULTS: The Tch, Cr and AST were not significant difference in groups. Left ventricular end-diastole pressure, right relative weight, left ventricular posterior wall thickness, collagen volume fraction and the lung weight were decreased in AMI+fluvastatin group compared to AMI group (P<0.05, P<0.01); The levels of LPO, NO2-+NO3- in plasma and LPO in myocardium decreased, but plasma GSH-PX level increased in AMI+fluvastatin group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Fluvastatin ameliorates the ventricular structural remodeling in a rat model of infarction, and delays the development of heart failure. The anti-oxidation mechanism of fluvastatin may take part in this process.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the effects of pioglitazone on myocardial energy metabolism and hemodynamics in rats with heart failure after myocardial infarction (MI). METHODS: The model of MI was established by ligation of left anterior descending artery. The 20 surviving rats were randomly divided into MI group (n=10) and pioglitazone intervention group (P group,n=10, pioglitazone 3 mg·kg-1·d-1 orally). The sham-operated rats (SH, n=10) served as controls. Hemodynamic parameters were measured. The ratio of left ventricular weight to body weight (LVW/BW) and the ratio of right ventricular weight to body weight (RVW/BW) were calculated after 8-week treatment. The expression of PPARγ was examined by Western blotting. Mitochondrial respiratory function was determined by Clark oxygen electrodes. The size of adenine acid pool (ATP, ADP and AMP) in mitochondria was measured by HPLC. The adenine nucleotide translocator(ANT) activity was detected by the atractyloside-inhibitor stop technique. RESULTS: Compared with SH group, the protein expression of PPARγ was significantly decreased in MI group (P<0.01). The mitochondrial respiratory activity, the transport activity of ANT and the high-energy phosphate content were decreased in MI group (P<0.01), and the hemodynamic parameters were in disorder (P<0.01). Compared with MI group, the protein expression of PPARγ in P group was significantly increased. The mitochondrial respiratory activity, the high-energy phosphate content, the transport activity of ANT were improved (P<0.01). However, the hemodynamic parameters were not significantly changed.CONCLUSION: Pioglitazone increases the protein expression of PPARγ and improves myocardial energy metabolism in the development of heart failure in the rat model of myocardial infarction, but dose not change the hemodynamic parameters significantly.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the effect of salvia extract on angiogenesis of the myocardium in the rats with myocardial infarction (MI) and to analyze its possible mechanism. METHODS: Left coronary artery of Sprague-Dawley rats was ligated to establish a MI model. The rats were randomly divided into MI model group, 3 different dose groups of salvia (10, 20 and 40 mg·kg-1·d-1), and sham operation group. Each group consisted of 8 rats. The rats in all treatment groups were orally administered with the salvia extract, and the rats in MI group and sham operation group were fed with the same volume of saline. The rats were sacrificed 4 weeks later. The hemodynamic changes of the rats were determined, and the segmental heart samples were used for morphological observation by hematoxylin and eosin staining, Masson staining, or electron microscopic analysis. The expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cluster of differentiation 34 (CD34) was analyzed according to immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, the morphological changes of the myocardium in MI group were disordered, part of myocardial cell outline disappeared, and obvious fibrosis in the necrosis myocardial tissue and fuzzy or disappearing microvascular ultrastructure were also observed. Compared with MI group, the number of new microvessels in all the treatment groups increased obviously, and the morphological changes of the endothelial cells were relatively complete according to electron microscopy. Compared with sham operation group, the protein expression of VEGF and CD34 in the cytoplasm of the myocardial tissues in MI group increased only a little. Compared with MI group, the protein expression of VEGF and CD34 in the cytoplasm of the myocardial tissues in all treatment groups increased significantly (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Salvia extract obviously promotes angiogenesis of the myocardial tissues in the rats after myocardial infarction.  相似文献

AIM: To observe the myocardial protective effects of trimetazidine on myocardial infarction (MI) in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. METHODS: Ninety SD rats were randomly assigned to 3 groups (n=30 each): myocardial infarction group (MI group), MI+trimetazidine group (MT group) and sham group (S group). By permanently ligating the left anterior descending artery, the MI model was set up in the rats in MI group and MT group. Before and after setting up the MI model, normal saline was given to the rats in MI and S group by gavage. On the other hand, trimetazidine (3 mg/kg,twice per day) was given to the rats in MT group by gavage. At 8 h, 24 h and 48 h after applying trimetazidine, the serum level of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) was measured. At the 1st week, 2nd week and 4th week after treated with trimetazidine, the size of myocardial infarction, the maximum rising rate of the left ventricular systolic pressure (+dp/dtmax) and the maximum descending rate of the left ventricular diastolic pressure (-dp/dtmax) were measured. Also at the 1st week after applying trimetazidine, the cardiomyocyte apoptotic index was detected. RESULTS: Compared with MI group 2 weeks after applying trimetazidine, +dp/dtmax significantly increased in MT group , and -dp/dtmax also significantly increased in MT group . Four weeks after applying trimetazidine, +dp/dtmax significantly increased in MT group , and -dp/dtmax also significantly increased in MT group . At 8 h and 48 h after applying trimetazidine, no statistically significant difference (P>0.05) of serum cTnI between MI group and MT group was observed. However, at 24 h after applying trimetazidine, the serum level of cTnI decreased in MT group as compared with MI group . Aditionally, trimetazidine significantly decreased the infarction size of myocardium in MT group (0.248±0.052) as compared with MI group (0.362±0.082, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Trimetazidine has short-term cardioprotective effects on the rats with acute MI by improving myocardial systolic and diastolic functions, reducing infarct size and inhibiting apoptosis.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of combinational use of trimetazidine(TMZ) and parecoxib sodium on acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in rats. METHODS: Sixty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: sham group; AMI group; AMI+TMZ group; AMI+parecoxib group; AMI+TMZ+parecoxib group. All rats were sacrificed and cardiac functions (HR, LVSP, LVEDP, +dp/dtmax,-dp/dtmax) were measured with a Pclab-3804 biological signal processing system on the 8th day. The infarct size in each group was checked up by TTC staining method. RT-PCR was employed to detect the bax mRNA and bcl-2 mRNA. The protein levels of COX-2, Bax, Bcl-2 and cleaved caspase-3 in myocardium were determined by Western blotting. The activity of caspase-3 in each group was measured by colorimetric assay kit, and the apoptotic rates were detected with DNA ladder kit.RESULTS: Compared with sham group, increased expression of COX-2 protein (P<0.01) was observed in AMI group. The expression of COX-2 protein in parecoxib group was lower than that in AMI group (P<0.01). Compared with AMI group, the combinational use of trimetazidin and parecoxib improved contractile functions (LVSP and +dp/dtmax), reduced the infarct size and lowered the apoptotic rates remarkably. Specifically, the combinational use of trimetazidin and parecoxib showed better effects than use of trimetazidin or parecoxib alone. Reduced expression of Bax/Bcl-2 mRNA and protein, the reduced caspase-3 activity and cleaved caspase-3 expression were also found in combinational group as compared with other groups (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: The combinational use of trimetazidin and parecoxib effectively improves cardiac functions and reduces infarct size. The mechanism of the protective effect is probably associated with inhibiting apoptosis of cardiac myocytes.  相似文献

AIM: To study the relationship between cardiac extracellular matrix remodeling and cardiac function after myocardial infarction. METHODS: We observed sequential changes in collagen contents and collagen Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratios in infarct zone (IZ) and non-infarct zone (NIZ) and their relationship to the parameters of left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in the rat model of myocardial infarction induced by ligation of left main coronary artery. RESULTS: Collagen conteants in IZ and NIZ after 3d of myocardial infarction were significantly higher than those in sham group at corresponding time (P<0.05, P<0.01). Collagen Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio in IZ decreased on day 3, significantly increased after 7 d (P<0.01). Collagen Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio in NIZ increased significantly afte14 d. Correlated analysis between collagen contents in IZ or NIZ and collagen type Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratio and maximal ascending velocity (+p'max) or maximal descending velocity of the left ventricular pressure (-p'max) was performed and the negative correlation between collagen contents in NIZ and +P'max (r=-0.589, P>0.05) and -P'max (r=-0.788, P<0.01) was found. Collagen content in IZ positively correlated to the +P'max (r=0.70, P<0.50), but not to -P'max (r=-0.29, P>0.05). Collagen type Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratios in NIZ correlated negatively to the +P'max (r=-0.504, P>0.05) and -P'max (r=-0.545, P>0.05), but there were no relationship between collagen type Ⅰ/Ⅲ ratios in IZ and +P'max or -P'max in IZ. CONCLUSION: Collagen deposition in IZ after myocardial infarction was of benefit to improvement of systolic function. Collagen deposition in NIZ was harmful to systolic and diastolic function.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) on the myocardial infarction in experimental rats. METHODS: Rats were randomly divided into GT group and saline control group (SC).The rats of GT group were treated with G-CSF (10 μg/kg) once a day subcutaneously for 5 days and those of SC group were received saline.On the third day, both groups were injected with isoprenaline (ISO) interaperitoneally to develop acute ischemic model. The hearts were harvested from 2 weeks to 4 weeks after administration of ISO for histopathological examination. RESULTS: Compared with saline control group, G-CSF treatment group significantly reduced the scar size (P<0.05). We also found the regeneration of myocytes, smooth muscle and endothelial cells. CONCLUSION: G-CSF treatment could be benefical to the regeneration of infarcted myocardium and significantly reduce scar size and it could be used for therapeutic intervention of the acute myocardial infarction.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the effects of catestatin (CST) on calcium handling abnormalities and ventri-cular arrhythmia (VA) after myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. METHODS: The adult male SD rats (n=85) were randomly divided into sham group (n=20) and operation group (n=65). MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in operation group. The rats in sham group underwent pericardiotomy but without ligating the artery. The rats survived for 1 week after operation were randomly assigned to MI group and CST group. The rats in CST group was treated with CST (30 mg·kg-1·d-1, intraperitoneal administration) for 4 weeks, while saline was applied to the rats in sham group and MI group. The calcium imaging study was performed by loading isolated ventricular cardiomyocytes with Fura-2 AM. In the whole Langendorff-perfused hearts, the programmed electrical stimulation was used to induce action potential duration (APD) alternans and VA. The protein levels of ryanodine receptor 2 (RyR2), phosphorylated RyR2 (p-RyR2), calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) and phosphorylated CaMKII (p-CAMKII) were determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham group, the protein levels of p-RyR2 and p-CaMKII, the diastolic intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and the inducibility of VA were significantly increased, whereas the thresholds of Ca2+ transient (CaT) and APD alternans and the CaT amplitude were markedly decreased in MI group (P<0.01). Compared with MI group, the protein levels of p-RyR2 and p-CaMKII, the diastolic intracellular Ca2+ concentration and the inducibility of VA were significantly decreased, while the thresholds of CaT and APD alternans and the CaT amplitude were markedly increased in CST group (P<0.01). No significant difference of the protein expression of RyR2 and CaMKII among the 3 groups was observed (P>0.05). CONCLUSION: CST reduces the susceptibility to VA after MI via preventing calcium handling abnormalities.  相似文献

AIM: To determine the effects of Tongxinluo(TXL) on connexin 43(Cx43) remodeling and ventricular arrhythmia(VA) after myocardial infarction(MI) in rats. METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operated(sham) group(n=25) and operation group(n=75). The left anterior descending(LAD) was ligated in operated group, while the rats in sham group only underwent pericardiotomy. The rats in operation group which survived for 3 d after operation were randomly assigned to TXL group and MI group. The rats in TXL group was administrated with TXL(2 g·kg-1·d-1, intragastric administration) for 4 weeks, while normal saline was applied to the rats in sham group and MI group. The levels of interleukin-1β(IL-1β) and endothelin-1(ET-1) in the tissue from the border zone were measured by ELISA after treatment. The distribution and the mRNA and protein expression of Cx43 were detected by immunohistochemical staining, RT-PCR and Western blotting, respectively. The burst pacing was used to induce ventricular arrhythmia(VA). RESULTS: Compared with sham group, the levels of IL-1β and ET-1 and the incidence of VA were significantly increased, while the mRNA and protein expression of Cx43 was markedly reduced with irregular distribution in MI group(P<0.05). Compared with MI group, the levels of IL-1β and ET-1 and the incidence of VA were significantly reduced, while the expression of Cx43 at mRNA and protein levels was markedly increased with augmented linear distribution in the myocardial cell intercalated disc in TXL group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TXL reduces the incidence of VA after MI via inhibiting the Cx43 remodeling.  相似文献

AIM: To study the change of the activity of matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) in the infarcted intestitium of rat heart and the effect of Losartan on them. METHODS: 80 Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats underwent the left descending coronary artery ligation, then being divided randomly into control, treated groups and sham operation group. After hemodynamic parameters were obtained,animals of 8 groups were killed at 4 timepoints ( day 3, day 7,day 14, day 42 after infarction ).Matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) activity in infarct zone was measured by zymography,so did collagen concentration in both ventricles by the method of chloramine T. RESULTS: The activity of MMPs in the infarcted zone showed a transient increase, which raiesd by 4.5 folds at day 3 (compared with the sham-operated group killed at day 3), 6.5 folds at day 7, and declined thereafter,being 2 folds at day 14, 1.5 folds at day 42. Losaran treatment was associated with significant attenuation of MMPs activity. The activity of MMP-1 (54 kD band) decreased 33%, so did the MMP-2 (58 kD and 62 kD bands) 50%. Compared with control groups, the hypertrophy of the left ventricle was regressed, the rate of LVW/BW dropped significantly at day 14 and day 42 ( P< 0.01) .The collagen concentration decreased at treated day 42 group( P< 0.01).For the regression of heart dysfuncton in Losartan groups, LVEDP demonstrated a slightly raise at day 3, then decreased at day 7,14,42, all of three groups’ systolic function are higher than that in the control ( P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The latent MMPs were activated after infarction, which resulted in the demage of the fibrillar network and dalitation of the left ventricle.Losartan not only attenuates the activity of MMPs but also prevents collagen synthesis, decreases the total collagen in the necrosis zone at the late stage after infaction, thus regressing the progress dysfuction of the infarcted heart and protecting the myocardium.  相似文献

AIM:To compare the effects of carvedilol, cilazapril and their combination on left ventricular remodeling(LVRM) after acute myocardial infarction(AMI) in rats. METHODS: Twenty-four hours after AMI operation, 100 surviving rats were randomly assigned to: ①AMI control(n= 25), ②AMI+carvedilol(1 mg·kg-1 ·d-1, n= 25)(C1), ③AMI+cilazapril(1 mg·kg-1 ·d-1, n= 25)(Z1), and ④ AMI+combination(n= 25) groups. Sham-operated group(n= 17) were selected randomly. After 4 weeks of therapy with the drugs gastric gavage, hemodynamic and pathological studies were performed. RESULTS: There were no significant differences in MI size among the four AMI groups(all P> 0.05) Left ventricular(LV) end diastolic pressure(LVEDP), volume(LVV), weight(LVW) and septal thickness(STh) were all higher and left ventricular pressure maximal rate of rise and fall(±d p /d t) were lower(all P< 0.01) in AMI group than sham-operated group. The LVEDP, LVV, LVW and STh were all lower and ±dp /dt were higher in Z1, C1, and combination groups than those in AMI group(P< 0.05, P< 0.01), with LVEDP and STh were more lower in the combination group than in the two monotherapy group(P< 0.05, P< 0.01), but there were no significant differences in other variables among the three therapy groups. CONCLUSION: Carvedilol, cilazapril and their combination all can prevent from LVRM after AMI in rats, improve hemodynamics and LV function, with the combination superior.  相似文献

AIM: To elucidate the mechanism of arrhythmia in healed myocardial infarction (HMI), and to investigate the changes of action potential duration (APD),transient outward potassium current (Ito), delayed rectifier potassium current (IK) and inward rectifier potassium current (IK1) of left ventricular myocytes in noninfarcted zone of HMI. METHODS: 12 rabbits were randomly assigned in two groups: HMI group (thoracotomy and ligation of the circumflex coronary); sham-operated group (thoracotomy but no conorary ligation). 3 months after operation, whole cell patch clamp technique was used to record APD, Ito, IK and IK1 of ventricular myocytes in non-infarcted zone. RESULTS: Membrane capacitance was larger in HMI group than that in sham-operated group. Action potential duration was lengthened significantly in HMI group and early after depolarization (EAD) appeared in HMI group. The densities of Ito, IK,tail and IK1 were reduced significantly in HMI group (P<0.01), from (6.72±0.42) pA/pF, (1.54±0.13) pA/pF and (25.6±2.6) pA/pF in Sham-operated group to (4.03±0.33) pA/pF, (1.14±0.11) pA/pF and (17.6±2.3) pA/pF, respectively. CONCLUSION: The reduced densities of Ito, IK,tail and IK1 in ventricular myocytes of non-infarcted zone in HMI are responsible for the prolongation of APD and the presentation of EAD, which play important roles in the malignant arrhythmia of HMI.  相似文献

Degradation of most proteins in eukaryotic cells is through the ubiquition-proteasome system (UPS). Recently, it demonstrated that UPS regulates cell apoptosis and cardiac hypertrophy. The differences of UPS regulation lie in E3 ligases, which specifically recognize targets and direct the ubiquitination process. Recent evidence suggests that atrogin-1/muscle atrophy F-box (Mafbx) and muscle RING finger 1 (MuRF1) may be critical mediators of the heart and muscle atrophy and hypertrophy. This review summarizes the possible relationship between UPS and cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction in order to inhibit cardiac dysfunction after myocardial infarction.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the protective effect of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on the heart of mice with myocardial infarction and its mechanism. METHODS: The model of myocardial infarction was established by the ligation of left anterior descending artery of C57/B6 mice (8~12 weeks old) after lateral thoracotomy. The mice were divided into sham operation group, myocardial infarction group and bFGF administration group. bFGF at 0.5 μg was intraperitoneally injected on alternate days after myocardial infarction for 7 d. Cardiac Doppler ultrasonography was used to detect cardiac function after myocardial infarction for 28 d, and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, left ventricular end-systolic diameter, left ventricular ejection fraction and left ventricular shortening fraction (LVFS) were used to evaluate cardiac function. After myocardial infarction for 28 d, the mice were sacrificed and the hearts were collected for preparing pathological sections. The degrees of myocardial fibrosis and angiogenesis in the myocardial infarction area were observed. Western blot was used to detect the indicators of angiogenesis. RESULTS: The results of Masson staining showed that bFGF administration significantly reduced myocardial fibrosis at 28 d after myocardial infarction. Cardiac ultrasound data showed that cardiac functions in myocardial infarction group were poorer than those in sham group, and bFGF administration significantly improved cardiac functions. Immunofluorescence staining showed that neovascularization in myocardial infarction area of bFGF administration group was more than that in myocardial infarction group. The results of Western blot showed that bFGF activated AKT/HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway. CONCLUSION: Intraperitoneal injection of bFGF reduces myocardial fibrosis and improves cardiac function in myocardial infarction mice. bFGF may promote angiogenesis by activating AKT/HIF-1α/VEGF signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of celecoxib, a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor, on antioxidative capability and apoptosis of cardiac myocytes after myocardial infarction. METHODS: 24 New Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups randomly (8 in each group): sham-operated group (sham group), myocardial infarction group (MI group), celecoxib group (Cele group, 10 mg kg-1·d-1, qd, with the drugs gastric gavage for six weeks). The NO concentration, total antioxidative capability (T-AOC), the activity of constitutive nitric oxide synthase (cNOS) and inducible NOS (iNOS) in cardiac tissue homogenate, adjacent to the infracted area, were detected. The pathological changes were observed by light microscope and electron microscopy. The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax protein in myocytes were observed using immunohistochemistry, and the degree of apoptosis were examined by TUNEL. RESULTS: Cardiac tissue in MI group presented interstitial edema, fibroplastic proliferation, inflammatory cellular infiltration, and vacuolar degeneration in cardiac myocytes. The results of electron microscopy showed that myocytes presented more changes caused by ischemic injury: widened interspace of myofibril, disordered myofibrillae, focal lysis of myofilament, ectasia of sarcoplasmic reticulum. In Cele group, the pathological changes were light, the NO-2/ NO-3 concentration, the activity of iNOS were lower (P<0.05), while the activity of cNOS and T-AOC were higher (P<0.05) than those in MI group. The expression rate of Bcl-2 protein in Cele group was higher than that in MI group, while the Bax was lower (P<0.01). The number of apoptotic myocytes was lower than that in MI group (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Celecoxib decreases the number of apoptotic cardiomyocytes and increases the antioxidative capability after myocardial infarction.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the angiogenic effect and mechanisms of astragaloside IV (AS-IV) in rats with myocardial infarction via protein kinase D1 (PKD1)-histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5)-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) signaling pathway. METHODS: The classic model of myocardial infarction by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery was replicated, and the rats were randomly divided into model group, AS-IV group, and AS-IV+CID755673 (PKD1 inhibitor) group. The sham operation control group and DMSO control group were also set up. All the rats were given intravenous injection via caudal vein. The rats were sacrificed 4 weeks later, and segmental heart samples were used for HE staining and Masson staining. The expression of PKD1, HDAC5 and VEGF was analyzed by immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR and and Western blot. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group and DMSO group, the myocardium in model group showed disordered arrangement, accompanied with necrotic myocardial cells and obvious fibrosis tissue. After treatment with AS-IV, the morphological changes of myocardium were obviously improved, and the number of new blood vessels increased significantly. However, after treatment with AS-IV+CID755673, the myocardial tissues of the rats became disordered again, with increased necrotic cells and some closed vessels. The mRNA and protein expression of PKD1, HDAC5 and VEGF in myocardial tissue in model group was significantly lower than that in sham operation and DMSO groups (P<0.05). The expression in AS-IV group was significantly higher than that in model group (P<0.01), while that in AS-IV+ CID755673 group was significantly lower than that in AS-IV group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: AS-IV promotes the angiogenesis of myocardial tissues in the rats after myocardial infarction partly by regulating the PKD1-HDAC5-VEGF signaling pathway.  相似文献

AIM: To study the effect of livin gene-modified bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BM-MSCs) transplantation on the cardiac function following acute myocardial infarction in a rat model and the expression of livin, caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 in the livin gene-modified BM-MSCs. METHODS: The MSCs were obtained by the whole bone marrow culture method, and the apoptosis of the MSCs after infection with adenovirus vector carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein(EGFP) gene and livin recombinant vector(rAd-livin) were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of livin, caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 was detected by Western blot. After permanent left anterior descending artery occlusion, the rats were randomized to receive intramyocardial injection of DMEM without cells(vehicle group), or containing MSCs(MSCs group), MSCs(EGFP)(rAd-control/MSCs group) or MSCs(livin)(rAd-livin/MSCs group). Left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP), the maximum increased rate of left ventricular pressure(-dp/dtmax) and the maximum decline rate of left ventricular pressure(+dp/dtmax) were recorded for evaluating the cardiac functions. RESULTS: The apoptosis of rAd-livin/MSCs was significantly decreased as compared with MSCs and rAd-control/MSCs(P<0.05). Meanwhile, the expression of caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 was significantly downregulated as compared with the other 2 groups(P<0.05). The cardiac function in rAd-livin/MSCs group was significantly improved as compared with DMEM group, and those in the other 2 groups got the similar results, but the function in rAd-livin/MSCs group was better improved. Meanwhile, the number of surviving cells in rAd-livin/MSCs group was significantly improved as compared with the other 2 groups. CONCLUSION: The apoptosis of MSCs is decreased after rAd-livin transfection, and the expression of caspase-3, caspase-7 and caspase-9 is also significantly downregulated while the expression of livin is significantly upregulated. Transplantation of livin-modified BM-MSCs by lentiviral vector results in better prognosis for treating myocardial infarction by enhancing cell survival.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the effects of long-term TCV116 on left ventricular remodeling and heart function after myocardial infarction. METHODS: Myocardial infarction (MI) was caused by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats. One week after the surgical performance, the surviving rats were randomly assigned to the following treatment protocols: (1) MI rats with no therapy; (2) MI rats treated with TCV116 2 mg/kg per day; (3) Sham-operated control; (4) Sham-operated rats, treated with TCV116 2 mg/kg per day. At 22 weeks, cardiac hemodynamic parameters such as MAP, LVSP, dp/dtmax and LVEDP, and histomorphometric parameters such as LVW/BW and LVCA/BW were measured, mRNA of cardiac genes such as βMHC, BNP, TGF-β1, collagen I and III were quantified, and survival rates were calculated. RESULTS: Compared with sham-operated rats, MI rats without therapy showed significant increases in histomorphometric parameters as well as in mRAN expressions of cardiac genes (P<0.01); While their hemodynamic parameters were significantly impaired (P<0.01), and survival duration shortened (P<0.05). Compared with MI rats without therapy, MI rats treated with TCV116 showed significant attenuation of mRAN expression of cardiac genes (P<0.01); While their hemodynamic parameters were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and survival duration extended (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Treatment with long-term angiotensin II type 1 receptor antagonist may improve left ventricular remodeling and cardiac function after MI in rats.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the expression of miR-24 in infarcted myocardial tissues and to investigate the function of miR-24 during cardiomyocyte apoptosis in vitro and in vivo. METHODS:The mouse model of myocardial infarcton (MI) was established. The expression of miR-24 in the sections of infarcted myocardial tissues was measured by qRT-PCR. The expression of miR-24 was modified by transfecting oligonucleotide mimic and inhibitor of miR-24 into cardiomyocytes, or injecting lentiviral vectors intramyocardially. The apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was detected by Caspase-Glo 3/7 Assay System. The heart functions were determined by echocardiography and the scar size in MI model was observed with Masson trichrome staining. The apoptosis of infarcted myocardial tissues was detected by TUNEL method. Microarray and bioinformatic analysis were also used to predict the targets of miR-24. RESULTS:The expression of miR-24 in the infarct and border areas was down-regulated after MI. Overexpression of miR-24 in cardiomyocytes reduced the apoptosis induced by hypoxia. miR-24 transfection resulted in reduction of the scar size, and improved left ventricular fractional shortening (LVFS) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of the mice in treatment group after 2 weeks. Furthermore, miR-24 reduced cell apoptosis in the infarct region. BCL2L11, ANK3 and SGPL1 may be the targets of miR-24 during the process of anti-apoptosis. CONCLUSION:miR-24 is down-regulated in the infarcted myocardial tissues. In vitro, miR-24 reduces apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by hypoxia. In vivo, miR-24 attenuates cell apoptosis in the infarct and border areas of the heart 2 weeks after MI, and ultimately improves heart functions.  相似文献

Myocardial infarction (MI) is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. One of the primary reasons is that the rupture of atherosclerotic plaque leads to the formation of thrombosis, and then interrupts the coronary blood flow, thus finally causing the death of myocardial cells and cardiac dysfunction. A large number of researches have revealed that dendritic cells (DCs) play an essential role in immune inflammatory responses in the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis and MI. This article reviews the role of DCs in atherosclerosis, myocardial ischemia/reperfusion injury and cardiac remodeling after MI, and shows the potential values of DCs as an immunotherapeutic strategy for MI.  相似文献
