摘要
目的探讨钙调素激酶Ⅱ(CaMKⅡ)和磷酸化核转录因子CREB(pCREB)在压力超负荷大鼠左室心肌中表达的变化。方法100只健康雄性SD大鼠随机分为对照组(n=50)和心肌肥厚组(n=50),制备腹主动脉缩窄大鼠心肌肥厚模型,手术后4周以免疫组化法观察左室心肌CaMKⅡ及pCREB蛋白表达及分布,RT-PCR法检测左室心肌组织bcl2-mRNA含量。结果CaMKⅡ分布于细胞核和细胞浆,pCREB主要分布于细胞核,心肌肥厚组CaMKⅡ和pCREB吸光值显著高于对照组(CaMKⅡ:21.0±0.6vs15.5±0.9;pCREB:16.4±0.7vs11±0.7;P<0.05);心肌肥厚组bcl-2的mRNA表达显著低于对照组(0.52±0.07vs0.68±0.09,P<0.05)。结论压力超负荷时CaMKⅡ激活,核转录因子CREB磷酸化增加,可能通过下调抗凋亡基因bcl-2表达参与心肌肥厚的发生。
AIM To explore the role of calmodolin dependent protein kinaseⅡ and phosphorylation nuclear transcription factor CREB in the development of myocardial hypertrophy. METHODS The model of hypertensive rats was established by abdominal aortic constriction. CaMK Ⅱ and pCREB protein expressions of left ventricular tissue were analyzed by immunohistochemistry method, bcl-2 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) expression of left ventricular tissue was analyzed by reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) method. RESULTS CaMK Ⅱ was expressed in both myocardial nuclei myocardial cytoplasmic while pCREB was mainly expressed in myocardial nuclei. The levels of CaMK Ⅱ and pCREB were significantly higher in cardiac hypertrophy group compared with those in control group. The decrease in bcl-2 mRNA expression was found in cardiac hypertrophy group. CONCLUSION CaMK Ⅱ and pCREB may be involved in the development of overload induced cardiac hypertrophy.
