摘要
目的:探讨一肾一夹肾性高血压大鼠模型中,心肌组织中钙调神经磷酸酶(CaN)抑制因子(calcineurin-inhibi-tor,Cain)表达的变化,以及血浆中相关活性因子的变化。方法:将21只健康雄性Wistar大鼠,随机分为3组(n=7),即假手术组、手术组(通过一肾一夹法复制肾性高血压大鼠)及螺内酯组:以螺内酯20 mg/(kg.d)灌胃;实验14 d后,大鼠称质量后抽血处死,分别计算左心室质量(LVW)、全心质量(HW)以及二者与体质量(BW)的比值。采用放射免疫测定法检测血浆醛固酮(Ald)及血管紧张素Ⅱ(AngⅡ)的含量。以蛋白印迹杂交的方法,测定心肌组织中Cain表达的变化。结果:与假手术组比较,手术组大鼠的LVW/BW及HW/BW比值显著增加(P<0.05)、血浆Ald和AngⅡ的水平、及Cain的表达的显著增加(P<0.01);而与手术组比较,螺内酯组大鼠的LVW/BW比值显著减少(P<0.05)、血浆AngⅡ的水平及Cain的表达均显著减少(P<0.01)。结论:通过一肾一夹手术,诱导机体内源性Ald和AngⅡ增加,导致大鼠心肌肥厚反应的发生。同时,机体内源性Cain表达的增加,以抑制CaN信号通路介导的心肌肥厚反应。螺内酯通过阻断Ald与其受体结合,可以抑制心肌肥厚的发生。
AIM : To investigate the expression of myocardial calcineurin inhibitor (Cain) in renal hypertensive rats and the changes of active related factors in plasma. METHODS: Twenty one male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups (n = 7) : sham operation group, operation group treated with traditional one kidney and one clamp operation, and spironolactone group treated with spironolactone [ 20 rag/( kg · day) ]. Angiotensin Ⅱ (Aug Ⅱ) and Ald levels in plasma were determined by radioimmunoassay. The expression of Cain in myocardium was determined by Western blot. RESULTS: Ald and AngⅡ levels, expression of Cain and activity of calcineurin in myocardium all increased in operation group compared with those in sham operation group. Ang Ⅱ level markedly decreased in spironolactone group compared with that in the operation group. Expression of myocardial Cain level and ealcineurin activity also decreased significantly. CONCLUSION: Internal Ald induces cardiac hypertrophy through a calcineurin-dependent signal pathway. The expression of internal Cain may be controlled by the activity of caleineurin.
