Twelve neonatal clean grade Wistar rats were selected. The cardiomyocytes were isolated, cultured and divided according to different treatments in the medium. The cardiomyocyte size was determined by phase contrast microscope, and the rate of protein synthesis was measured by [3H]-Leucine incorporation. The c-fos and c-jun mRNA expression in cardiomyocytes was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. It was found after cardiomyocytes were treated with AngⅡ for 30 min, the c-fos and c-jun mRNA expression in cardiomyocytes was increased significantly （P〈0.01）. After treatment with AngⅡ for 24 h, the rate of protein synthesis in AngⅡ group was significantly increased as compared with control group （P〈0.01）. After treatment with AngⅡ for 7 days, the size of cardiomyocytes in AngⅡ group was increased obviously as compared with control group （P〈0.05）. After pretreatment with STS or Valsartan before AngⅡ treatment, both of them could inhibit the above effects of AngⅡ （P〈0.05 or P〈0.01）. It was suggested that STS could ameliorate AngⅡ-induced cardiomyocyte hy- pertrophy by inhibiting c-fos and c-jun mRNA expression and reducing protein synthesis rate of cardiomyocytes.展开更多

Tanshinone IIA （TSA） is one of the main active components of Danshen, which has multiple bioactivities. This article reviews the research progress of TSA in the treatment of cardiovascular disease, anti-inflammatory and immune, anti-tumor, liver protection, neuroprotection. It provides more ideas for the clinical application of TSA and the development of drug resistance.展开更多

Methods： The effect of STS on cytotoxicity was evaluated using the 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-3,5- phenytetrazoliumromide （MTT） assay. As indexes for cardiocyte hypertrophy, cell size was determined by phase contrast microscopy and protein synthesis rate was measured by 3H-leucine incorporation. The proto-oncogene c-fos mRNA expression of cardiocytes was assessed using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （RT-PCR）. Results： STS could inhibit cardiocyte hypertrophy, increase the protein synthesis rate and enhance proto-oncogene c-fos mRNA expression in cardiocytes induced by Ang Ⅱ（P〈0.01）, with an effect similar to that of Valsartan, the Ang Ⅱ receptor antagonist. Conclusion： STS can prevent the hypertrophy of cardiac myocytes induced by Ang Ⅱ, which may be related to its inhibition of the expression of proto-oncogene c-fos mRNA.展开更多
