Methods： Forty male adult Sprague Dawley rats were divided into 5 groups One group was treated by sham operation; four groups were myocardium hypertrophy cases caused by banding aortic above renal artery. Drugs were given one week after operation. Group 1： sham group, rats （n=8） were gavaged with normal saline 2 ml/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 2： control group, rats （n=8） were treated with normal saline 2 ml/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 3： rats （n=8） were given perindopril 2 mg/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 4： rats （n=8） were treated with irbesartan 20 mg/（kg·d） （ig）; Group 5： rats （n=8） were given irbesartan 20 mg/（kg·d） plus perindopril 2 mg/（kg·d） （ig）. Morphometric determination, calcineurin expression and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase activity were done at the end of 6 week of drug intervention. Expression of calcineurin in myocardium was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results： Left ventricular mass index （LVMI）, transverse diameter of myocardial cell （TDM）, calcineurin activity were remarkably decreased after drug intervention and this decrease was most remarkable in the combination drug therapy group. Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase activity was increased after drug intervention, especially in the combined drug therapy group. Calcineurin expression in myocardium was remarkably decreased after drug intervention. LVMI was positively correlated with TDM and calcineurin, negatively correlated with sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase. Conclusion： These data suggest that irbesartan and perindopril inhibit cardiac hypertrophy through the increased activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca^2＋-ATPase and decreased expression of calcineurin. Their combination had better effects on regressing of ventricular hypertrophy.展开更多

Methods The rats were treated with intravenousdoxorubicin(lmg/kg) twice weekly for 12 to 18 times. Controls received intravenous normal saline. The seventy ofcardiomyopathy was scored by light and electron microscopic study to investigate left ventricular papillary muscleand the calcium handling of the myocardial sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) was determined using the isotope45 Ca2+loading. Results The ability of SR Ca2+ uptake was decreased in doxorubicin- treated rats compared withcontrol rats and the magnitude of the decrease in SR Ca2+ uptake was correlated with the seventy of thecardiomyopathy graded by pathology score. The percentage of the SR calcium release decreased 14.3% ± 4.2% in theinitial 10s and decreased 17.1 %± 4.5% (P<0.05) at 2min in the severe groups as compared with control (P<0.01)and the amount of SR calcium release seemed correlate with the seventy of the cardiomyopathy graded.Conclusion The altered function of SR calcium uptake and release could lead to the abnormalities of contractionand relaxation observed in the doxorubicin cardiomyopathy.展开更多

Methods Six weeks after the induction of DM by streptozotocin injected intraperitoneally, the rats were divided into three groups, namely： DM-rAAV-asPLB group, DM-saline group and DM group （control group）. The rats in the DM-rAAV-asPLB group were intramyocardially injected with rAAV-asPLB, the rats in the DM-saline group were injected with saline, and those in the control group did not receive any treatment. Six weeks after gene transfer, the expressions of PLB protein and PLB phosphorylation were detected by Western-blot, while the activity of sarcoplasmic reticulum （SR） Ca2＋-ATPase and left ventricular function were measured. Results The PLB protein expression level was significantly higher whereas the PLB phosphorylation, SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity and left ventricular function were significantly lower in the DM-saline group than in the control group. No significant difference was found in PLB protein expression level, PLB phosphorylation or SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity between the DM-rAAV-asPLB group and the control group. The left ventricular function in the DM-rAAV-asPLB group was poorer than in the control group and was better than in the DM-saline group. Conclusion rAAV-asPLB can down-regulate PLB protein expression and up-regulate phosphorylation and SR Ca2＋-ATPase activity, thus contributing to the improvement of in vivo ventricutar function.
