Dusp6组),CIH处理6周后观察各组大鼠右心收缩压以及肺外周小动脉重塑程度。同时,将大鼠肺动脉平滑肌细胞(RPASMCs)分为正常组、间歇缺氧组(IH组,1 h循环,30 min 1%O_(2),30 min 21%O_(2),持续24 h)、间歇缺氧+Dusp6抑制组(IH+Si-Dusp6组),观察各组RPASMCs增殖、线粒体膜电位和线粒体分裂情况。结果:基因表达数据库以及体内模型显示,与正常组相比,IH组Dusp6表达升高。与正常组相比,CIH组大鼠右心收缩压升高,肺外周小动脉明显重塑;而与CIH组相比,CIH+AAV1. Dusp6组大鼠右心收缩压有所下降,肺外周小动脉重塑程度明显减轻。同时,IH能够诱导RPASMCs的增殖、线粒体膜电位降低和线粒体分裂,而抑制Dusp6能够明显减轻IH诱导的RPASMCs增殖、线粒体膜电位的降低和线粒体分裂。另外,Dusp6能够通过调节Drp1/ERK1/2通路而发挥作用。结论:抑制Dusp6表达可能通过Drp1/ERK1/2通路调节线粒体分裂从而抑制CIH诱导的大鼠肺动脉高压。展开更多
