内皮型一氧化氮合酶在运动预适应改善心肌缺血-再灌注损伤中的作用

Role of endothelial nitric oxide synthase in exercise preconditioning-induced improvement of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury

背景:运动是防治各种心血管疾病并保护心脏免受缺血-再灌注损伤的有效策略,其作用机制有待深入研究。目的:观察有氧运动预适应对心肌缺血-再灌注损伤的影响,并探讨内皮型一氧化氮合酶(endothelial nitric oxide synthase,eNOS)激活(包括偶联和磷酸化)在其间的作用。方法:取80只成年Wistar大鼠,采用随机数字表法分为安静组(n=40)和运动组(n=40),运动组进行8周有氧运动,安静组在鼠笼内安静饲养。8周后进行3项实验:①实验1:末次训练后,检测大鼠心功能、心脏NO代谢物含量及心脏eNOS、磷酸化eNOS-S1177、eNOS二聚体、eNOS单体的蛋白表达量;②实验2:将大鼠分为安静对照组、运动对照组、安静+eNOS抑制剂组、运动+eNOS抑制剂组,均进行体外心肌缺血-再灌注损伤实验,安静+eNOS抑制剂组、运动+eNOS抑制剂组再灌注前10 min持续灌注eNOS抑制剂,再灌注3 h后检测心功能与心肌梗死面积;③实验3:将大鼠分为安静对照组、运动对照组、安静+eNOS偶联剂组和运动+eNOS偶联剂组,均进行体外心肌缺血-再灌注损伤实验,安静+eNOS偶联剂组和运动+eNOS偶联剂组再灌注前10 min持续灌注eNOS偶联剂,再灌注3 h后检测心肌梗死面积、心脏NO代谢物含量及心脏eNOS、磷酸化eNOS-S1177、eNOS二聚体、eNOS单体和3-硝基酪氨酸的蛋白表达量(其中,磷酸化eNOS-S1177/eNOS比值反映eNOS磷酸化/去磷酸化水平,eNOS二聚体/单体比值反映eNOS偶联/解偶联水平)。结果与结论:①实验1:与安静组比较,运动组大鼠心输出量、左心室射血分数升高(P<0.05),亚硝酸盐和S-亚硝基硫醇含量升高(P<0.05),磷酸化eNOS-S1177、eNOS蛋白表达和磷酸化eNOS-S1177/eNOS比值上调(P<0.05),eNOS二聚体蛋白表达和eNOS二聚体/单体比值升高(P<0.05);②实验2:与安静对照组比较,运动对照组左心室发展压升高(P<0.05),心肌梗死面积下降(P<0.05);与运动对照组比较,运动+eNOS抑制剂组左心室发展压降低(P<0.05),心肌梗死面积增加(P<0.05);③实验3:与安静对照组比较,运动对照组左心室发展压升高(P<0.05),心肌梗死面积下降(P<0.05),磷酸化eNOS-S1177/eNOS比值下降(P<0.05),eNOS二聚体/单体比值下降(P<0.05),S-亚硝基硫醇含量增加(P<0.05),3-硝基酪氨酸蛋白表达量下调(P<0.05);与运动对照组比较,运动+eNOS偶联剂组左心室发展压降低(P<0.05),心肌梗死面积增加(P<0.05),磷酸化eNOS-S1177/eNOS比值升高(P<0.05),eNOS二聚体/单体比值升高(P<0.05),3-硝基酪氨酸蛋白表达升高(P<0.05);④结果表明:有氧运动预适应可诱导心脏保护效应,其机制与心脏缺血-再灌注期间eNOS解偶联以及去磷酸化进而抑制NO过度产生并降低硝基-氧化应激有关。

BACKGROUND:Exercise is an effective strategy to prevent and treat various cardiovascular diseases and protect the heart from ischemia-reperfusion injury.Its mechanism of action needs to be studied in depth.OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of aerobic exercise preconditioning on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury and to explore the effect of endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)activation(including coupling and phosphorylation).METHODS:Eighty adult Wistar rats were randomly divided into sedentary(n=40)and exercise(n=40)groups.The rats in the exercise group were subjected to aerobic exercise for 8 weeks while those in the sedentary group were quietly fed and caged.After 8 weeks of intervention,three experiments were performed.(1)Experiment 1:After the last training,cardiac function,cardiac nitric oxide metabolite content and cardiac eNOS,phosphorylated eNOS-S1177,eNOS dimer and eNOS monomer protein expression levels were detected.(2)Experiment 2:Rats were divided into sedentary control group,exercise control group,sedentary+eNOS inhibitor group,exercise+eNOS inhibitor group,all of which were subjected to an in vitro myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury experiment.eNOS inhibitor was continuously infused into the sedentary+eNOS inhibitor group and exercise+eNOS inhibitor group 10 minutes before reperfusion,and cardiac function and myocardial infarction area were detected 3 hours after reperfusion.(3)Experiment 3:Rats were divided into sedentary control group,exercise control group,sedentary+eNOS coupler group and exercise+eNOS coupler group,all of which were subjected to an in vitro myocardial ischemiareperfusion injury experiment.The rats in the sedentary+eNOS coupler group and exercise+eNOS coupler group were treated with eNOS coupler.Myocardial infarct area,cardiac nitric oxide metabolite content,cardiac protein expression of eNOS,phosphorylated eNOS-S1177,eNOS dimer,eNOS monomer and 3-nitrotyrosine were detected 3 hours after reperfusion.The phosphorylated eNOS-S1177/eNOS ratio reflected the phosphorylated/dephosphorylated level of eNOS and eNOS dimer/monomer ratio reflected eNOS coupling/uncoupling level.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Experiment 1:Compared with the sedentary group,the exercise group had increased cardiac output and left ventricular ejection fraction(P<0.05),increased nitrite and S-nitrosothiol contents(P<0.05),upregulated phosphorylated eNOS-S1177,eNOS protein expression and phosphorylated eNOS-S1177/eNOS ratio(P<0.05),eNOS dimer protein expression and eNOS dimer/monomer ratios were elevated(P<0.05).Experiment 2:Compared with the sedentary control group,left ventricular development pressure increased(P<0.05)and myocardial infarct area decreased(P<0.05)in the exercise control group.Compared with the exercise control group,left ventricular development pressure decreased(P<0.05)and myocardial infarct area increased(P<0.05)in the exercise+eNOS inhibitor group.Experiment 3:Compared with the sedentary control group,the exercise control group had increased left ventricular developmental pressure(P<0.05),decreased myocardial infarct area(P<0.05),decreased phosphorylated eNOS-S1177/eNOS ratio(P<0.05),decreased eNOS dimer/monomer ratio(P<0.05),increased S-nitrosothiol content(P<0.05),and decreased 3-nitrotyrosine protein expression(P<0.05).Compared with the exercise control group,the exercise+eNOS coupler group had decreased left ventricular developmental pressure(P<0.05),increased myocardial infarct area(P<0.05),increased phosphorylated eNOS-S1177/eNOS ratio(P<0.05),increased eNOS dimer/monomer ratio(P<0.05),and elevated 3-nitro tyrosine protein expression(P<0.05).To conclude,aerobic exercise preconditioning could induce cardioprotection,which is related to uncoupling and dephosphorylation of eNOS during cardiac ischemia-reperfusion,thereby inhibiting the excessive production of nitric oxide and reducing nitro-oxidative stress.
