Methods\ SHRs were orally given perindopril (1.0 mg·kg\+\{ 1\}·d\+\{ 1\}) or urapidil (15 mg·kg\+\{ 1\}·d\+\{ 1\}) for 24 weeks, respectively. Expression of IP\-3R mRNA was examined by semi quantitative reverse transcription polymers chain reaction (RT PCR) using three oligonuclotide primers for each subtype of IP\-3R with β actin as internal label. Results\ All subtypes of IP\-3R were expressed in myocardium of SHR, WKY and cultured VSMC. Expression of IP\-3R mRNA in left ventricle of SHR was markedly enhanced. Urapidil could down regulate expression of IP\-3R Ⅰand IP\-3R Ⅲ, perindopril slightly increased expression of IP\-3R Ⅱ and decreased expression of IP\-3R Ⅰand IP\-3R Ⅲ in myocardium of SHR. Conclusion\ Our results suggest that expression of IP\-3R mRNA in cardiovascular system could be regulated by urapidil and perindopril.展开更多

Hematoxylineosin staining of liver tissue was performed to assess hepatocyte necrosis. Electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes in the kidney. Western blot analysis and real-time PCR were performed to detect the expression of IP3 RI protein and m RNA in the kidney, respectively.RESULTS Hepatocyte necrosis was aggravated gradually, which was most significant at 12 h after treatment with D-galactosamine/lipopolysaccharide, and was characterized by massive hepatocyte necrosis. At the same time, serum levels of biochemical indicators including liver and kidney function indexes were all significantly changed. The structure of the renal glomerulus and tubules was normal at all time points. Western blot analysis indicated that IP3 RI protein expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 12 h(P < 0.01). Real-time PCR demonstrated that IP3 RI m RNA expression began to rise at 3 h(P < 0.05) and peaked at 9 h(P < 0.01).CONCLUSION IP3 RI protein expression is increased in the kidney of HRS rats, and may be regulated at the transcriptional level.展开更多

No effect of Ca2+ concentration on [3H]-lnsP3 binding to unreconsti-tuted lnsP3 receptor could be observed either at 4℃ or at 25℃, whereas the effect of [Ca2+] on reconstituted lnsP3 receptor depended on the temperature. The Ca2+ concentration outside the proteolipsome ([Ca2+]o) had no detectable effect on lnsP3 binding to lnsP3 receptor at 4℃. In contrast, with increase of [Ca2+]o from 0 to 100 nmol/L at 25℃, the lnsP3 binding activity increased gradually. Then the lnsP3 binding activity was decreased drastically at higher [Ca2+]0 and inhibited entirely at 50 nmol/L [Ca2+]. Conformational studies on intrinsic fluorescence of the reconstituted lnsP3 receptor and its quenching by Kl and HB indicated that the global conformation of reconstituted lnsP3 receptor could not be affected by [Ca2+]o at 4℃. While at 25℃, the effects of 10μmol/L [Ca2+]0 on global, membrane and cytoplasmic conformation of the reconstituted lnsP3 receptor were different significantly from that of 100 nmol/L [Ca2+]0.展开更多
