摘要
目的探讨选择性半胱胺酰白三烯受体1拮抗剂孟鲁司特对兔动脉粥样硬化的作用及其相关机制。方法34只雄性新西兰大白兔随机分成4组:空白对照组(n=6)、安慰剂对照组(n=8)、阿托伐他汀组(n=10)和孟鲁司特组(n=10)。空白对照组给予普通饮食,其余3组均给予高脂饮食。8周后,阿托伐他汀组和孟鲁司特组分别给予阿托伐他汀(1.5mg·kg^-1·d^-1)和孟鲁司特(1mg·kg^-1·d^-1),继续高脂饮食4周。饮食干预前和干预后8、12周测血脂。12周后,检测升主动脉内/中膜比,分析内膜中巨噬细胞和平滑肌细胞(SMC)面积百分比以及斑块中单核细胞趋化蛋白-1(MCP-1)mRNA的表达。结果安慰剂对照组内膜明显增生,内膜中含有大量巨噬细胞和少量SMC,MCP-1mRNA表达增加。与安慰剂组比较,阿托伐他汀和孟鲁司特组的内/中膜比(0.32±0.12和0.34±0.10比1.12±0.36,均P〈0.05)和内膜中巨噬细胞[(9.8±4.6)%和(11.2±3.7)%比(34.6±8.8)%,均P〈0.05]较低,SMC的含量[(18.6±6.9)%和(19.2±8.6)%比(5.2±2.3)%,均P〈0.05]较高,MCP-1mRNA表达(0.42±0.08和0.40±0.06比2.36±0.48,均P〈0.01)较低。孟鲁司特具有和阿托伐他汀相似的抗动脉粥样硬化作用,但阿托伐他汀可以降低总胆固醇、甘油三酯和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇,而孟鲁司特对血脂无影响。结论孟鲁司特具有抗动脉粥样硬化作用,其机制可能在于抑制动脉粥样硬化的炎症反应。
Objective To investigate the effects of montelukast on atherosclerosis and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 expression in a hypercholesterolemic rabbit model. Methods Thirty four male New Zealand white rabbits were randomized into four groups including normal control group ( n = 6), placebo group (n = 8 ), atorvastatin group (1.5 mg·kg^-1·d^-1, beginning at 8th weeks for 4 weeks, n = 10 ) and montelukast group ( 1 mg·kg^-1·d^-1 , beginning at 8^th weeks for 4 weeks, n = 10). Rabbits except those in normal control group were fed a high cholesterol diet for 12 weeks. Serum lipids were measured at 0, 8 and 12 weeks after intervention. The intima/media ratio, percentages of macrophages or smooth muscle cells in intima and the expression of MCP-1 mRNA were examined. Results Atherosclerosis was evidenced in placebo group and atorvastatin or montelukast treatment significandy reduced neointima (0. 32 ±0. 12 and 0. 34± 0. 10 vs. 1.12 ± 0. 36, P 〈 0. 05 ) and macrophage content [ (9. 8 ±4.6) % and ( 11.2 ± 3.7 ) % vs. (34. 6 ± 8.8) %, P 〈 0. 05 ], increased SMC content [ ( 18.6± 6. 9) % and ( 19. 2 ± 8.6) % vs. ( 5.2 ± 2. 3 ) % , P 〈 0. 05 ] and inhibited expression of MCP-1 mRNA (0. 42 ± 0. 08 and 0.40 ± 0. 06 vs. 2. 36± 0. 48 ,P 〈0. 01 ). Montelukast had similar anti-atherogenetic effects as atorvastatin but had no influence on plasma lipids. Conclusions Montelukast could attenuate atherosclerosis in this hypercholesterolemic rabbit model which might be attributed to its anti-iaflammatory effects.
