目的:探讨高血压血管平滑肌细胞(VSMC)在胰岛素作用下胞内信号转导途径之一丝裂原活化蛋白激酶(MAPK)的影响,及其与VSMC增殖的关系。方法:选用6周龄自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)和WKY大鼠,无菌分离主动脉,体外纯化培养VSMC至6~8代,加胰岛素干预和蛋白激酶C(PKC)抑制剂,采用胶内髓磷脂碱性蛋白原位磷酸化法测定VSMC中MAPK活性,并用Western Blot检测VSMC中MAPK的含量, [3H]-TdR测定VSMC的DNA合成量。结果:胰岛素作用后,SHR组的DNA合成量显著增加,MAPK活性及蛋白含量也显著增加,PKC抑制剂可明显降低MAPK活性。结论:SHR体外培养的VSMC增殖与MAPK活性增加有关,胰岛素可影响其活性,并且可能存在胰岛素-PKC-MAPK轴。 相似文献

In this study we investigated the effects of chronic β adrenoreceptor blockade with atenolol on cellular and subcellular hypertrophy in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). Atenolol was injected subcutaneously (20 mg/kg) twice daily commencing in four-week-old rats. The treated animals (SHR-A) were compared to their nontreated controls and normotensive, Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) controls at the age of 16 weeks. A group of atenolol-treated WKY was also studied. Chronic drug treatment was effective in attenuating the rise in systolic blood pressure characteristic of SHR, but did not normalize the values to those of WKY. Cardiac hypertrophy, characteristic of SHR, was modified by drug treatment as evidenced by left ventricular weights as well as myocardial cell size. The cells from the subendocardium underwent selective hypertrophy in SHR which was attentuated by about 50% after atenolol treatment. Stereological analysis of electron micrographs showed that while relative mitochondrial volume was not affected by treatment, relative myofibrillar volume (%) decreased in both subepicardium (SHR = 63.28 ± 1.25; SHR-A = 56.72 ± 1.37) and subendocardium (SHR = 66.53 ± 1.27; SHR-A = 58.30 ± 1.51). This change raised the mitochondrial/myofibrillar volume ratio, which is characteristically low in SHR compared to WKY. Sarcoplasm, which included all cell constituents except mitochondria, increased with atenolol treatment, but water concentration remained unchanged. The data suggest that attenuation of hypertrophy in SHR after β blockade is associated with selective effects on the myocardial cell involving primarily the myofibrillar cell compartment. 相似文献

Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and normotensive Wistar Kyoto rats (WKY) were compared concerning the interactions between cortico-hypothalamic alerting responses and baroreflex influences on neurogenic cardiovascular control. For this purpose mean arterial pressure (MAP), heart rate (HR) and renal sympathetic nerve activity (RSNA) were continuously recorded during night time in conscious, otherwise undisturbed rats. Baroreceptor sensitivity was assessed as percentage HR and RSNA reductions per mmHg MAP elevation when a standardized phenylephrine infusion was performed. A state of acute “mental stress” could be induced by a likewise standardized sudden blowing of air. These two opposing influences on neurogenic cardiovascular control were also experimentally superimposed in various ways and the effects on MAP, HR and RSNA followed. During “rest” RSNA was higher in SHR than in WKY and it also increased more during “mental stress”. The baroreflex sensitivity was clearly reduced in SHR and WKY concerning HR reduction (0.44±0.06 vs. 0.78±0.08%/mmHg; p<0.01) but not so concerning RSNA, which was similar in SHR and WKY (2.6±0.2 vs. 2.9±0.4%/mmHg). If expressed (HR + 1±3%; p<0.025 vs. SHR and RSNA + 11%±10, p<0.01 vs. SHR). These results) (0.10±0.02 vs. 0.06±0.01 μV/mmHg; p<0.12). Also single fibre recordings in anaesthetized rats showed the same principle difference between SHR and WKY. Addition of “mental stress” during phenylephrine baroreflex activation clearly increased both HR (24±7%) and RSNA (114±21 %) in SHR, while almost no change then occurred in WKY (HR + 1±3%; p<0.025 vs. SHR and RSNA + 11%±10, p<0.01 vs. SHR). These results suggest that a modestly accentuated cortico-hypothalamic activity ordinarily prevails in SHR, explaining the suppressed baroreflex control of heart rate and the augmented sympathetic activity to e.g. renal and splanchnic areas. Further, environmental alerting stimuli induce in SHR more powerful defence reactions which, unlike the situation in WKY, readily overcome baroreflex inhibitory influences on sympathetic activity. 相似文献

Migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) constitutes a common step in neointimal formation which occurs in several
vascular diseases. Whether the migratory response of SMC derived from hypertensive animals is different to that of controls
may provide a clue to the link between hypertension and atherosclerosis. We examined the migratory responses of SMC from cell
cultures and ring explants (thin aortic ring segment) and compared these responses between normotensive and hypertensive rats
at two different ages. Both scrape-wound assay and transwell chambers from cultured aortic SMC as well as aortic ring explant
cell outgrowth models were employed. The aortae were obtained from male spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) and their normotensive
counterpart the Wistar-Kyoto rat (WKY) at 5 and 20 weeks of age. Migration was induced by fetal bovine serum or platelet-derived
growth factor (PDGF) and migrated cells were counted at different times following stimulation. We found that SMC migration
exhibited a high sensitivity to serum (range of ED50: 2.2–3.6%), migration of SMC from 20-week-old SHR exceeded (by 46%, P<0.025) that of SMC from age-matched WKY and the difference became significant as early as 8 h after stimulation by serum.
Chemotaxis induced by PDGF (2 h) exhibited similar differences. An elevated migratory response in SHR-SMC was also found in
cells derived from 5-week-old rats in whom the blood pressure was normal. In younger animals, cell outgrowth from SHR aortic
ring explants also accumulated more cells compared with WKY without a higher growth rate, thus suggesting that SHR-SMC have
a higher migratory response ex vivo. In conclusion, aortic SMC migration appeared to be enhanced in various preparations from
SHR. This difference also existed in young animals before the elevation of blood pressure occurred and might contribute partly
to the role of hypertension as a risk factor for atherosclerosis.
