摘要
目的探讨阿托伐他汀对Krüppel样转录因子2(KLF2)在载脂蛋白E基因敲除小鼠中表达的影响。方法研究采用载脂蛋白E基因敲除小鼠,随机分为对照组和干预组,干预药物采用阿托伐他汀10mg/(kg·d),药物干预8周后分别用半定量RT-PCR,Westernblot,免疫组化检测主动脉KLF2的表达,HE染色切片计算斑块的相对面积。结果 KLF2在各个水平的表达干预组高于对照组[mRNA水平(0.85±0.01)比(0.48±0.02),蛋白水平(1.84±0.11)比(1.45±0.14);组织水平(0.40±0.06)比(0.26±0.09);均P<0.05];斑块相对面积:干预组(0.26±0.09)小于对照组(0.41±0.04)(P<0.01)。结论阿托伐他汀上调载脂蛋白E基因敲除小鼠颈动脉内KLF2表达。
Objective To explore the effect of atorvastatin on the expression of Kruppel-like factor 2 in apolipopro- tein E (ApoE) gene knockout mice. Methods ApoE gene knockout (ApoE-/- ) mice were randomized into intervention group and control group. Atorvastatin [-10 mg/(kg· d)] was applied as the interventional drug. After 8 weeks of intervention, KLF2 gene and itsprotein expression were measured by semiquantitative real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry, and Western blot. HE staining was used to caeulat the relative area of palque. Results The expression of KLF2 in intervention group was higher than control group on different levels I-mRNA(0. 85 ± 0.01) vs (0.48±0.02), protein (1.84±0.11) vs (1. 45±0.14) and histology (0. 40±0.06) vs {0. 264-0.09), all P〈0.05-1, and the relative plague area of intervention group was significantly less than that of control group 1-(0. 264-0. 09) vs (0. 41±0.04}, P〈0. 01]. Conehtsion Atorvastatin can up-regulat KLF2 in aorta of ApoE-/- mice.
