  • Effect of Alltrans Retinoic Acid on Proliferative Artery Disease after Heart Transplantation

    Objective To investigate the effect of alltrans retinoic acid (atRA) on proliferative artery disease after heart transplantation. Methods Heterotopic heart transplantation model was established by Ono model with 16 inbred healthy male Wistar rats as donors and 16 SD rats as recipients. The rats were divided into chronic rejection group and atRAtreated group by complete random design, and there were 8 rats in each group. Rats in chronic rejection group were given Cyclosporine A 10 mg/(kg·d) by subcutaneous injection after operation, and those in atRAtreated group were given Cyclosporine A 10 mg/(kg·d) in the same way and atRA 10mg/(kg·d) by gavage. The transplanted hearts of rats were taken out 60 days after the transplantation. HE stain, masson stain and Van Gieson were done to analyze the rejection of transplanted hearts, the degree of vascular stenosis and myocardial fibrosis respectively.Immunohistochemistry was used to test proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). Results The area of myocardial fibrosis in chronic rejection group was obviously larger than that in atRAtreated group(63.99%±11.91% vs.34.68%±6.34%), and there was significant difference between two groups(t=8.377,P=0.000). The index of vascular stenosis in chronic rejection group was higher than that in atRAtreated group(62.86±17.18 vs. 40.10±8.20). Vascular stenosis in atRAtreated group alleviated significantly, and there was significant difference between two groups(t=3.913, P=0.006). The PCNA positive cells in chronic rejection group were obviously more than that in atRAtreated group(60.17±17.74 vs. 33.96±8.65), and there was significant difference between two groups(t=5.387, P≤0.001). There was a positive correlation between the PCNA positive cell ratio and the index of vascular stenosis(r=0.854, P=0.007). Conclusion Alltrans retinoic acid can inhibit vascular disease after heart transplantation by cell proliferative pathway.
