目的:明确卡维地洛对心肌梗死(心梗)后大鼠心肌基质金属蛋白酶(MMP)及其组织抑制因子表达的影响。方法:建立大鼠急性心梗模型,成模后用药组 (n=12)予卡维地洛(10 mg·kg-1·d-1)灌胃,用药42 d。未用药组(n=12)予等量生理盐水灌胃。另设假手术组(n=9)为对照。检测各组大鼠心功能和血流动力学参数,酶谱法测定心室肌MMP-2、MMP-9活性,免疫组化和荧光定量PCR检测心室肌MMP-2、MMP-9、金属蛋白酶组织抑制因子(TIMP-2)蛋白和mRNA表达以及TIMP-1、IL-1β、TNF-α mRNA表达。结果:与假手术组比较,心梗组左室舒张末压(LVEDP)升高、左室压最大上升速率(+dp/dtmax)和最大下降速率(-dp/dtmax)均降低(P<0.01),MMP-2、MMP-9活性增强(P<0.01),MMP-2、MMP-9、TIMP-2蛋白表达增多,MMP-2、MMP-9、TIMP-2、IL-1β mRNA升高(P<0.05),TIMP-1、TNF-α mRNA升高(P<0.01);与心梗未用药组比较,用药组LVEDP降低(P<0.01),+dp/dtmax、-dp/dtmax升高(P<0.05),MMP-2、 MMP-9的活性降低(P<0.01)。MMP-2、MMP-9、TIMP-2蛋白和mRNA表达减少以及TIMP-1、IL-1β、TNF-α mRNA表达减少。结论:卡维地洛在显著降低MMP-2、MMP-9活性的同时也轻度降低了TIMPs表达;它还可以通过减少IL-1β和TNF-α基因表达,起到降低MMPs分泌的作用,从而预防和逆转心梗后心室重构,改善心功能。 |

Abstract: |
Objective:To investigate the effect of carvedilol on expression of cardiac matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinases (TIMPs) after myocardial infarction in rats. Methods: An animal model of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was established by descending left coronary artery ligation in 24 rats and they were divided into carvedilol (10 mg·kg-1·d-1) group (n=12) and normal saline group (n=12). Sham-operated group (n=9) received the same procedure but with no ligation. All animals were treated for 6 weeks via a gastric lavage. Heart function and hemodynamic parameters were determined after 6 weeks.The protein expression of cardiac MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2 was detected by immunohistochemical analysis in AMI groups, and the MMPs activities were assessed by zymography. Gene expression of myocardial MMPs/TIMPs (MMP-2,-9 and TIMP-1, -2) and cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β) were measured by real-time quantitative PCR. Results: Compared with Sham-operated group,carvedilol group had significantly higher left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and lower LV upstroke velocity (+dp/dtmax) and LV descent velocity (-dp/dtmax)(P<0.01). Activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9, protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2, and mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-1, TIMP-2, IL-1β, and TNF-α were all higher in carvedilol group compared with sham-operated group (P<0.05). Compared with normal saline group, carvedilol group had lower LVEDP(P<0.01), higher +dp/dtmax, -dp/dtmax(P<0.05),lower activities of MMP-2, MMP-9(P<0.01), lower protein expression of MMP-2, MMP-9 and TIMP-2, and lower mRNA expression of MMP-2, MMP-9, TIMP-2, IL-1β, TIMP-1, and TNF-α (MMP-9 P<0.01,others P<0.05). Conclusion: Carvedilol can obviously decrease cardiac expression of MMP-2 and MMP-9 and slightly decrease expression of TIMPs; it can also decrease secretion of MMPs through decreasing IL-1β and TNF-α expression,thus prevents myocardial extracellular matrix remodeling,reverses ventricular remodeling,and subsequently improves cardiac function. |
