摘要: 目的 观察益母草碱对异丙肾上腺素(ISO)诱导大鼠心肌重构的影响,并探讨可能涉及的机制。方法 10只SD大鼠作正常对照组;另80只SD大鼠作为实验鼠,连续2周腹腔注射ISO诱导心肌重构动物模型。造模成功后将实验鼠随机分为5组:模型组,益母草碱低(7.5 mg/(kg·d))、中(15 mg/(kg·d))、高(30 mg/(kg·d))剂量组以及p38丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(p38MAPK)抑制剂组(0.3 mg/(kg·d)),予相应药物腹腔注射2周后,HE染色观察左心室肌组织形态学变化;免疫组织化学法观察左心室肌组织转化生长因子-β1(TGF-β1)的表达;ELISA法及硝酸还原酶法检测血清内皮素(ET-1)和一氧化氮(NO)含量; qPCR 法检测左心室肌组织p38MAPK、肌细胞增强因子2(MEF2)、β-肌球蛋白重链(β-MHC)、α-肌球蛋白重链(α-MHC) mRNA的表达水平;Western blot法检测左心室肌组织ET-1、磷酸化p38MAPK(p-p38MAPK)和MEF2蛋白的表达水平。结果 与模型组比较,高剂量益母草碱能明显改善大鼠心肌重构病理改变,减少TGF-β1的表达(P<0.05);减少血清ET-1含量,升高NO含量(P<0.05);下调p38MAPK、MEF2和β-MHC mRNA的表达水平及ET-1、p-p38MAPK和MEF2蛋白的表达水平,上调α-MHC mRNA的表达水平(P<0.05)。结论 益母草碱有抑制ISO诱导的大鼠心肌重构的作用,其机制可能与抑制p38MAPK/MEF2信号通路有关。

Abstract: OBJECTIVE To observe the effect of leonurine on rats with ventricular remodeling induced by isoproterenol(ISO) and to explore the possible mechanism involved. METHODS SD rats (n=10) were used as normal control group, and 80 rats were given ISO by intraperitoneal injection daily for 2 weeks to establish the model of ventricular remodeling. The model rats were divided into 5 groups randomly as model group, low-dose leonurine (7.5 mg/(kg·d)) group, middle-dose leonurine (15 mg/(kg·d)) group, high-dose leonurine (30 mg/(kg·d)) group and p38MAPK inhibitor (0.3 mg/(kg·d)) group. After the treatment for 2 weeks, the pathological change of left ventricular myocardial tissues was observed by HE staining,and the expression of TGF-β1 was determined by the method of immunohistochemistry. The serum concentrations of ET-1 and NO were measured by ELISA and nitrate reductase methods, respectively. The expression of p38MAPK, MEF2,β-MHC and α-MHC mRNA was detected by qPCR, and the protein expression of ET-1, p-p38MAPK and MEF2 was determined by Western blot. RESULTS Compared with model group, the pathological change of ventricular remodeling in high-dose leonurine group was attenuated, and the serum concentrations of NO and the mRNA expression of α-MHC in left ventricular myocardial tissues of high-dose leonurine group were higher (P<0.05).The expression of TGF-β1, the serum concentrations of ET-1, the mRNA expression of p38MAPK,MEF2 and β-MHC mRNA, and the protein expression of ET-1, p-p38MAPK and MEF2 were lower than those in model group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Leonurine attenuates ventricular remodeling in the rats induced by ISO, and it is potentially associated with inhibiting p38MAPK/MEF2 signaling pathway. -
