目的 探讨慢性间歇低氧(chronic intermittent hypoxia,CIH)大鼠的血压变化及其颈动脉体中还原型烟酰胺腺嘌呤二核苷酸磷酸(NADPH)氧化酶的表达情况,以明确CIH致血压升高的可能机制.方法 清洁级雄性SD大鼠30只按随机数字表法分为CIH组、慢性持续缺氧组及对照组.尾袖法测量大鼠尾动脉收缩压,采用RT-PCR法检测大鼠颈动脉体中NADPH氧化酶各亚基gp91 phox、p22phox及p47phox mRNA的表达,对颈动脉体行免疫组织化学染色,并对p22phox的表达情况行半定量分析.结果 CIH组大鼠的尾动脉收缩压为[(145±11)mm Hg,1 mm Hg=0.133kPa],较CIH组(129±9)mm Hg及对照组(124±7)mm Hg显著升高(F值为19.895,P<0.01),CIH组gp91phox、p22phox及p47phox mRNA的表达(分别为2.82±0.51、2.74±0.45和2.88±0.47)较慢性持续缺氧组(分别为2.35±0.42、2.25±0.38和2.41±0.43)及对照组(分别为2.23±0.35、2.16±0.30和2.30±0.36)显著升高(F值分别为5.794、6.854和7.163,P<0.01)免疫组织化学检查结果显示CIH组p22phox蛋白相对表达量(99±12)较其他两组(分别为38±7和34±8)增多.结论 CIH可刺激大鼠颈动脉体中NADPH氧化酶的表达上调并使血压升高,NADPH氧化酶在颈动脉体中的过度表达可能与OSAHS患者发生高血压病存在相关联系.
Abstract:
Objective Chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) occurs in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hyponea syndrome (OSAHS) and has adverse effects on multiple physiological functions. Previous studies have shown that reflexes arising from carotid bodies mediate CIH evoked circulation-respiratory responses, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in eliciting systemic responses to CIH.But very little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying CIH. NADPH oxidase is the most important sources of ROS. In the present study we examined changes of blood pressure and expression of NADPH oxidase in carotid body in rats exposed to intermittent hypoxia. Methods Thirty healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, a CIH group, a chronic continuous hypoxia group and a control group. The systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured with tail-cuff method. RT-PCR was used to examine mRNA expressions of NADPH oxidase subunit gp91phox, p22phox, p47phox. Immunohistochemistry and semiquantitative analysis of NADPH oxidase subunits p22phox were done in the carotid body sections of all rats. Results Compared with normal group [ ( 124 ± 7 ) mm Hg, 1 mm Hg = 0. 133 kPa ] and chronic continuous hvpoxia group[ (129 ± 9) mm Hg], the SBP in CIH group [( 145 ± 11 ) mm Hg] was significantly higher( F = 19. 895, P <0. 01 =, and the expression of NADPH oxidase subunits gp91phox,p22phox,p47phox mRNA in CIH group ( 2. 82 ± 0. 51, 2. 74 ± 0. 45, 2. 88 ± 0. 47, respectively ) were significantly higher than those in chronic continuous hypoxia group ( 2. 35 ± 0. 42, 2. 25 ± 0. 38, 2. 41 ±0. 43, respectively)and normal group(2. 23 ±0. 35, 2. 16 ±0. 30, 2. 30 ±0. 36, respectively) ( F =5.794,6. 854, 7. 163, respectively, P < 0. 01 ). The Immunohistochemistry and semiquantitative analysis showed that the expression of NADPH oxidase subunit p22phox in the carotid body in CIH group ( 99 ± 12 ) were more than those in chronic continuous hypoxia and control groups ( 38 ± 7 and 34 ± 8, P < 0. 05 ).Conclusion CIH upregulates the expression of NADPH oxidase in rat carotid body and elevates the rat SBP. These results indicate that NADPH oxidase up-expression is closely associated with OSAHS patients with hypertension.  相似文献

Low rates of angiotensin II (Ang II) infusion raise blood pressure, renal vascular resistance (RVR), NADPH oxidase activity, and superoxide. We tested the hypothesis that these effects are ameliorated by extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD). EC-SOD knockout (-/-) and wild type (+/+) mice were equipped with blood pressure telemeters and infused subcutaneously with Ang II (400 ng/kg per minute) or vehicle for 2 weeks. During vehicle infusion, EC-SOD -/- mice had significantly (P<0.05) higher MAP (+/+: 107+/-3 mm Hg versus -/-: 114+/-2 mm Hg; n=11 to 14), RVR, lipid peroxidation, renal cortical p22(phox) expression, and NADPH oxidase activity. Ang II infusion in EC-SOD +/+ mice significantly (P<0.05) increased MAP, RVR, p22(phox), NADPH oxidase activity, and lipid peroxidation. Ang II reduced SOD activity in plasma, aorta, and kidney accompanied by reduced renal EC-SOD expression. During Ang II infusion, both groups had similar values for MAP (+/+ Ang II: 125+/-3 versus -/- Ang II: 124+/-3 mmHg; P value not significant), RVR, NADPH oxidase activity, and lipid peroxidation. SOD activity in the kidneys of Ang II-infused mice was paradoxically higher in EC-SOD -/- mice (+/+: 8.8+/-1.2 U/mg protein(-1) versus -/-: 13.7+/-1.6 U/mg protein(-1); P<0.05) accompanied by a significant upregulation of mRNA and protein for Cu/Zn-SOD. In conclusion, EC-SOD protects normal mice against oxidative stress by attenuating renal p22(phox) expression, NADPH oxidase activation, and the accompanying renal vasoconstriction and hypertension. However, during an Ang II slow pressor response, renal EC-SOD expression is reduced and, in its absence, renal Cu/Zn-SOD is upregulated and may prevent excessive Ang II-induced renal oxidative stress, renal vasoconstriction, and hypertension.  相似文献

The NO/superoxide (O2-) balance is a key regulator of endothelial function. O2- levels are elevated in many forms of cardiovascular disease; therefore, decreasing O2- should improve endothelial function. To explore this hypothesis, internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins, obtained from patients undergoing coronary artery revascularization, and aortic and carotid arteries from Wistar-Kyoto and spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rats were incubated with O2- dismutase or NAD(P)H oxidase inhibitors. O2- levels were measured using lucigenin chemiluminescence; NO bioavailability was assessed in organ chambers; and mRNA expression of NAD(P)H oxidase components was quantified by use of a Light Cycler. In rat arteries, phenylarsine oxide, 4-(2-aminoethyl)-benzenesulfanyl fluoride, and apocynin all decreased NADH-stimulated O2- production, but only apocynin increased NO bioavailability. In human internal mammary arteries and saphenous veins, apocynin decreased NAD(P)H-stimulated O2- generation and caused vasorelaxation that was endothelium dependent and reversed on addition of the NO synthase inhibitor N(G)-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester. In addition, it increased NO production from cultured human endothelial saphenous vein cells. Polyethylene-glycolated O2- dismutase also increased NO bioavailability in rat carotid arteries and human blood vessels, but the effects were smaller than those observed with apocynin. NADH-generated O2- and mRNA expression of p22(phox), gp91(phox), and nox-1 were comparable between the 2 strains of rat. This is the first study to demonstrate pharmacological effects of apocynin in human blood vessels. The increases in NO bioavailability shown here suggest that the NAD(P)H oxidase pathway may be a novel target for drug intervention in cardiovascular disease.  相似文献

Angiotensin-II (Ang-II)-stimulated increases in nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate reduced (NADPH) oxidase activity and oxidative stress are known to play a key role in cardiac remodeling. Inhibition of isoprenylation and activation of small G proteins, such as Rac1, a component of NADPH oxidase, may mediate the antioxidant actions of 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase inhibitors (statins). In this study, we investigated the effects of rosuvastatin on cardiac oxidative stress and remodeling in transgenic rats (Ren2) overexpressing the mouse renin gene with elevated cardiac levels of Ang-II. We treated 6- to 7-wk-old Ren2 rats and age-matched Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats with rosuvastatin (10 mg/kg.d) or vehicle for 3 wk. At the end of the treatment period, left ventricular mass, wall thickness, ejection fraction (by echocardiography), and cardiac remodeling (by light microscopy and immunohistochemistry) were assessed. In addition, myocardial content of nitrotyrosine, malondialdehyde, NADPH-oxidase subunits (gp91(phox), p40(phox), and p22(phox)), and Rac1 were analyzed by immunochemistry. Systolic blood pressure was significantly higher in Ren2 rats, compared with SD rats (P < 0.05); rosuvastatin had no significant effect on systolic blood pressure in either group. In Ren2, but not SD rats, rosuvastatin significantly improved the ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac hypertrophy, and perivascular fibrosis (P < 0.05). In addition, rosuvastatin administration significantly decreased the accentuated myocardial gp91(phox), p40(phox), p22(phox), and Rac1 expression. These changes were accompanied by a parallel reduction in myocardial lipid peroxidation (nitrotyrosine and malondialdehyde content) (P < 0.05). These results suggest that in vivo statin treatment through its direct actions on the heart reduces oxidative stress and remodeling including ventricular mass regression in the Ang-II-dependent Ren2 model.  相似文献

Leptin, the obese gene product, plays an important role in the regulation of cardiac function. However, the mechanism behind leptin-induced cardiomyocyte contractile response is poorly understood. This study was designed to examine whether endothelin-1 receptor and NADPH oxidase play any role in leptin-induced cardiac contractile response. Isolated murine cardiomyocytes were exposed to leptin (5, 50, and 100 nmol/L) for 60 minutes in the absence or presence of the ETA receptor antagonist BQ123 (1 micromol/L), the ETB receptor antagonist BQ788 (1 micromol/L), or the NADPH oxidase inhibitor apocynin (100 micromol/L) before mechanical function was studied. Superoxide levels were measured by dihydroethidium fluorescent dye and the superoxide dismutase-inhibitable reduction of cytochrome c. NADPH oxidase subunit expression (p22phox, p47phox, p67phox, and gp91phox) was evaluated with Western blot. Leptin depressed peak shortening and maximal velocity of shortening/relengthening (+/-dL/dt), prolonged the duration of relengthening (TR90) without affecting the time-to-peak cell shortening. Consistent with the mechanical characteristics, myocytes treated with leptin displayed a reduced electrically stimulated rise in intracellular Ca2+ (change in fura-2 fluorescence intensity) associated with a prolonged intracellular Ca2+ decay rate. All of the abnormalities were significantly attenuated by apocynin, BQ123, or BQ788. Intracellular superoxide generation was enhanced after leptin treatment, which was partially blocked by apocynin, BQ123, or BQ788. Leptin had no effect on p22phox and gp91phox but upregulated protein expression of p67phox and p47phox, both of which were inhibited by apocynin, BQ123, or BQ788. These results suggest that leptin suppresses cardiac contractile function in ventricular myocytes through the endothelin-1 receptor and NADPH oxidase-mediated pathway.  相似文献
