ObjectiveTo investigate the protective effect and the regulation mechanism of oxaloacetate (OAA) on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats. MethodsSixty rats, weight ranged from 200 to 250 grams, were randomly divided into 6 groups:a negative control group, a sham operation control group, a model control group, an OAA pretreatment myocardial ischemia-reperfusion model group (three subgroups:15 mg/kg, 60 mg/kg, 240 mg/kg). We established the model of myocardial ischemia reperfusion of rats and recorded the internal pressure of left ventricle (LVSP), the maximal rate of left ventricular pressure change (±dp/dtmax) and left ventricular end diastolic pressure (LVEDP). We restored reperfusion 180 minutes after ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery 30 minutes and determinated cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTn-I), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px). We took out heart tissues, stained it and calculated the infarcted size. We used the Western blot to detect the expression of NF-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2), Kelch-like ECH-associated protein-1 (Keap1) and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). ResultsCompared with the sham operation group, heart function indexes in the negative control group had no significant difference (P>0.05). But in the model control group there was a decrease (P<0.05) And the serum levels of LDH, cTn-I, and myocardial infarcted size were significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the model control group, heart function indexes in the OAA pretreatment groups improved, the serum LDH, cTn-I activity, and infarct size decreased (P<0.05), SOD and GSH-Px activity increased (P<0.05). And these results were statistically different (P<0.01) in the high dose OAA pretreatment groups. Compared with the model control group, the expression of Keap1 in the OAA pretreatment group was down-regulated (P<0.001) while total Nrf2, nucleus Nrf2 and its downstream HO-1 was up-regulated (P<0.001), which suggested that OAA enhanced antioxidant capacity by (at least in part) Keap1-Nrf2 pathway, resulting in reducing myocardial damage and protecting myocardium after acute myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury. ConclusionOxaloacetate can provide protective effects on myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury through down-regulating the expression of Keap1 and up-regulating the expression of Nrf2 and its downstream peroxiredoxins to improve antioxidant capacity.
Objective To investigate the targeted combination and anti-inflammatory effects of anti-intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) targeted perfluorooctylbromide (PFOB) particles on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rat model. Methods Seventy-six adult Sprague Dawley rats (male or female, weighing 250-300 g) were selected for experiment. The models of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury were established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery for 30 minutes in 30 rats. The expression of ICAM-1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry staining at 6 hours after reperfusion, and the normal myocardium of 10 rats were harvested as control; then the content of interleukin 8 (IL-8) in serum was tested every 6 hours from 6 hours to 48 hours after reperfusion. The other 36 rats were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=6): ischemia-reperfusion injury model/targeted PFOB particles group (group A), ischemia-reperfusion injury model/untargeted PFOB group (group B), normal control/targeted PFOB particles group (group C), normal control/untargeted PFOB particles group (group D), ischemia-reperfusion injury model/normal saline group (group E), and sham operation group (group F). The ischemia-reperfusion injury models were established in groups A, B, and E; while a thread crossed under the coronary artery, which was not ligated after open-chest in group F. After 6 hours of reperfusion, 1 mL of corresponding PFOB particles was injected through juglar vein in groups A, B, C, and D, while 1 mL of nomal saline was injected in group E. Ultrasonography was performed in groups A, B, C, and D before and after injection. The targeted combination was tested by fluorescence microscope. The content of IL-8 was tested after 6 and 24 hours of reperfusion by liquid chip technology in groups A, B, E, and F. Results After 6 hours of reperfusion, the expression of ICAM-1 protein significantly increased in the anterior septum and left ventricular anterior wall of the rat model. The content of IL-8 rised markedly from 6 hours after reperfusion, and reached the peak at 24 hours. Ultrasonography observation showed no specific acoustic enhancement after injection of PFOB particles in groups A, B, C, and D. Targeted combination was observed in the anterior septum and left ventricular anterior wall in group A, but no targeted combination in groups B, C, and D. There was no significant difference in the content of IL-8 among groups A, B, and E after 6 hours of reperfusion (P gt; 0.05), but the content in groups A, B, and E was significantly higher than that in group F (P lt; 0.05). After 24 hours of reperfusion, no sigificant difference was found in the content of IL-8 between groups A and B (P gt; 0.05), but the content of IL-8 in groups A and B were significantly lower than that in group E (P lt; 0.05). Conclusion Anti-ICAM-1 targeted PFOB particles can target to bind and pretect injured myocardium of rat by its anti-inflammation effects.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of Yes-associated protein (YAP) screened by bioinformatics in rats with myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury and establish the base for further research. MethodsThe difference of gene spectrum of rats with myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury was analyzed by bioinformatics technique. The related signaling pathways and key genes were screened by KOBAS2.0 and KEGG. Eighteen Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: normal group (n=6), sham operation group (n=6) and myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury group (n=6). The expression of target gene was detected by immunochemistry, quantitive reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. ResultsA total of 345 differentially expressed genes were found by bioinformatics, among which 181 were up-regulated and 164 were down-regulated. The differential genes were mainly enriched in Wnt, HIPPO, MAPK, Jak-STAT and other signaling pathways. We focused on HIPPO pathway and found that the expression of YAP increased significantly in myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury group, compared with the normal group and sham operation group (P＜0.05). ConclusionsThe expression of YAP of HIPPO signal pathway is increased in rats with myocardial-ischemia reperfusion injury.
ObjectiveTo compare the myocardial protective effect of HTK solution and St.ThomasⅡ(STH) solution in immature rabbit myocardium at different cardiac arrest time. MethodsAccording to cardioplegia and cardiac arrest time, 32 immature New Zealand white rabbits (aged 2-3 weeks) were randomly divided into four groups. A group SO (8 rabbits) underwent 1 hour cardiac arrest with STH solution, a group ST (8 rabbits) underwent 2 hours cardiac arrest with STH solution, a group HO (8 rabbits) underwent 1 hour cardiac arrest with HTK solution, a group Ht (8 rabbits) underwent 2 hours cardiac arrest with HTK solution. Compare the myocardial protective effect of HTK and STH solution in immature myocardium at different cardiac arrest time. ResultsThe Langendorff models were successfully established in 30 cases (8 cases in the group SO and HO, 7 cases in the group ST and HT). There were no statistical differences in hemodynamics and myocardial enzyme (CK-MB, LDH) (P > 0.05), but HTK solution reduced the activity of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) and content of malonaldehyde (MDA) and NO, maintained high activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Ca2+-ATPase (P < 0.05), performed more effective myocardial protection for immature myocardium. ConclusionHTK solution has more effective myocardial protection for immature myocardium than STH solution does, but STH solution still has good outcomes within short cardiac arrest time (1h).
