Abstract: | AIM:To investigate the effect of nucleolin on diabetic cardiomyopathy in mice.METHODS:A type Ⅱ diabetic cardiomyopathy mouse model was prepared using a cardiac-specific nucleolin-overexpressing transgenic mice.The mice were divided into wild-type mouse control group,nucleolin transgenic mouse control group,wild-type mouse diabetes group and nucleolin transgenic mouse diabetes group.Wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) fluorescent dye,Masson staining and PowerLab system detection were used to further clarify the role of nucleolin on cardiac hypertrophy,fibrosis and cardiac function in type Ⅱ diabetic cardiomyopathy mice.RESULTS:Compared with wild-type mouse control group,no significant increase in blood glucose level was found,while genetical myocardial cell hypertrophy was significantly attenuated in nucleolin transgenic mouse diabetes group.The collagen fibers were also significantly reduced,and hemodynamic indexes±dp/dtmax,left ventricular end-diastolic pressure,left ventricular systolic pressure and heart rate were also improved.The above differences were statistically significant.CONCLUSION:Nucleolin may reduce the occurrence of myocardial hypertrophy and fibrosis,thus improving the cardiac function of diabetic cardiomyopathy mice. |
