Abstract: | ATM: To investigate the effects of bisoprolol (Bis) plus peridopril (Per) on myocardial endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) in rats with heart failure.METHODS: Male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham group, doxorubicin (DOX) group, bisoprolol treatment group (DOX+Bis group), peridopril treatment group (DOX+Per group) and bisoprolol plus peridopril treatment group (DOX+Bis+Per group). A rat model of heart failure was induced by intraperitoneal injection of DOX. Distilled water, bisoprolol, peridopril, and bisoprolol plus peridopril were administrated by gastric gavage for 35 d, respectively. The indexes of cardiac functions and plasma levels of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) were measured, myocardial apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL assay and myocardial protein expression of GRP78, CHOP, JNK, caspase-12 and SERCA2a was detected by Western blot.RESULTS: Compared with normal control group and sham group, cardiac output (CO), left ventricular fractional shortening (FS), and left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of the rats in DOX group decreased significantly (P<0.01), the cardiomyocyte apoptotic index increased significantly (P<0.01), the myocardial protein levels of SERCA2a decreased significantly, and GRP78, CHOP, JNK and caspase-12 increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with DOX group, CO, FS and EF of the rats in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group increased significantly (P<0.01), cardiomyocytes apoptotic indexes in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group decreased significantly (P<0.01), myocardial protein levels of SERCA2a in DOX+Bis group, DOX+Per group and DOX+Bis+Per group increased significantly, while GRP78, CHOP, SERCA2a, JNK and caspase-12 decreased significantly (P<0.05). Indicators except JNK in DOX+Bis+Per group were changed more significantly than those in DOX+Bis group or DOX+Per group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Bisoprolol plus peridopril therapy improves cardiac functions in a rat model of doxorubicin-induced heart failure with more significant effectiveness than using bisoprolol or peridopril alone, which may be related to inhibition of myocardial ERS and apoptosis. |
