In our previous study, we found that impaired myocardial β-adrenergic receptor （AR） signaling is a key mechanism in post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction and Shen-Fu injection （SFI） can attenuate post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction. However, whether SFI can prevent impaired post-resuscitation myocardial β-AR signaling is not yet known. In this study, we investigated the effect of SFI on impaired myocardial β-AR signaling occurring post-resuscitation in a porcine model of cardiac arrest. Methods Ventricular fibrillation was induced electrically in anesthetized male landrace domestic pigs. After 4 minutes of untreated ventricular fibrillation, cardiopulmonary resuscitation was initiated. Sixteen successfully resuscitated pigs were randomized to receive a continuous infusion of either SFI （0.5 ml/min; n=8） or saline （placebo; n=8） for 6 hours, beginning 15 minutes after the return of spontaneous circulation （ROSC）. Hemodynamic and echocardiographic data were recorded. β-AR signaling was assessed at 6 hours after the intervention by measuring myocardial adenylate cyclase activity, β-AR density and β-AR kinase expression. Results Treatment with SFI produced better maximum rate of left ventricular pressure increase （dp/dtmax） and maximum rate of left ventricular pressure decline （-dp/dtmax）, cardiac output, and ejection fraction after ROSC. SFI treatment was also associated with lower myocardial β-adrenergic receptor kinase expression, whereas basal and isoproterenol- stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and the total β-AR density were significantly increased in the SFI group when compared with the placebo group. Conclusion SFI attenuated post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction by preventing impaired myocardial β-AR signaling after CPR.展开更多

One week after ligation of proximate left anterior descend (LAD) coronary artery, [3H] DHA binding sites were markedly decreased in both infarctregion and non-infarct region. After treatment of propranolol (100μg/kg), the [3H] DHA binding sites were obviously increased in the infarct region, and they were further decreased in the non-infarct region. The ratio of [3H] DHA binding sites of the infarct region to non-infarct region was from 0. 24 at LAD ligation to 0. 87 after propranolol treatment, which was close to 0. 97 of control group (sham operation). The results indicated that the propranolol acted directly on myocardial β-adrenergic through the receptor regulation of the balance of β-receptors between the infarct region and non-infarct region, and improvement of the myocardial consonation and contraction synergism, thereby protecting the heart affected by AMI.展开更多

Methods A ligature was placed around left anterior descending coronary artery of rat hearts. Rats in the control group were sham-operated. Cardiomyocytes were dissociated at two, four, eight weeks after myocardial infarction （MI） and [Ca^2＋]i was measured via fura-2 fluorescence. The response of cardiomyocytes to isoproterenol in presence or absence of betal-adrenergic antagonist atenolol, beta2-adrenergic antagonist ICI118, 551 or non-selective β1, 2- adrenergic antagonists propranolol was examined. Results The followings were found that ICI 118, 551 had no significant effects on the rise of [Ca^2＋]i induced by isoproterenol in normal ventricular myocytes （P 〉 0.05）, ICI118, 551 only significantly attenuated the rise of [Ca^2＋]i induced by isoproterenol at four weeks and eight weeks after MI （24.5%±5.7% vs 57.8% ± 13.2%, P〈 0.01; 12.2%±7.9% vs 44.6%±11.3%, P〈 0.01）. Atenolol had suppressive effects only in the control group and the post-MI group of two weeks （P 〈 0.05）, and propranolol had suppressive effects in the control and all the three post-MI groups （P 〈 0.01）. Conclusions Beta2-adrenergic antagonist ICI118, 551 may exert negative effects on Ca^2＋ overload initiated by sympathetic stimulation after MI.展开更多
