Ang-（1-7） is a counter-regulatory mediator of Ang-II which appears to be protective against cardiovascular disease. Recent studies have found that Ang-（1-7） played an important role in reducing smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, improving endothelial function and regulating lipid metabolism, leading to inhibition of atherosclerotic lesions and increase of plaque stability. Although clinical application of Ang-（1-7） is restricted due to its pharmacokinetic properties, identification of stabilized compounds, including more stable analogues and specific delivery compounds, has enabled clinical application of Ang-（1-7）. In this review, we discussed recent findings concerning the biological role of Ang-（1-7） and related mechanism during atherosclerosis development. In addition, we highlighted the perspective to develop therapeutic strategies using Ang-（1-7） to treat atherosclerosis.展开更多
目的:探讨子痫前期(PE)患者血清和胎盘中的肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、基质金属蛋白酶-1(MMP-1)、基质金属蛋白酶-7(MMP-7)的表达水平。方法:选取2021年11月—2023年8月扬州大学临床医学院妇产科收治的86例PE患者,分为早发型PE(n=33)和...目的:探讨子痫前期(PE)患者血清和胎盘中的肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)、基质金属蛋白酶-1(MMP-1)、基质金属蛋白酶-7(MMP-7)的表达水平。方法:选取2021年11月—2023年8月扬州大学临床医学院妇产科收治的86例PE患者,分为早发型PE(n=33)和晚发型PE(n=53),另外选取健康孕妇(n=45)作为对照。检测所有纳入患者血清及胎盘组织中的TNF-α、MMP-1和MMP-7水平。结果:早发型PE患者(34.71±1.35周vs 40.43±0.70周)及晚发型PE患者(38.43±0.60周vs 40.43±0.70周)的孕周明显小于对照组(均P<0.05);早发型PE患者血清中TNF-α(507.92±28.99 ng/L vs 478.50±41.15 ng/L)、MMP-1(1156.67±158.07μg/L vs 1037.59±163.10μg/L)和MMP-7(211.00±18.64μg/L vs 196.32±19.87μg/L)的表达较晚发型PE患者显著增加(均P<0.05),晚发型PE患者血清中TNF-α(478.50±41.15 ng/L vs 446.90±41.52 ng/L)、MMP-1(1037.59±163.10μg/L vs 840.78±174.43μg/L)和MMP-7(196.32±19.87μg/L vs 166.01±15.09μg/L)的表达较对照组显著增加(均P<0.05);免疫组化结果显示,早发型PE患者胎盘组织中TNF-α、MMP-1和MMP-7表达水平较晚发型PE及对照组明显升高(均P<0.05)。结论:早发型PE患者及晚发型PE患者的TNF-α、MMP-1和MMP-7表达明显增加,这可能在PE的发生发展中起到重要作用。展开更多
