氟伐他汀抑制球囊损伤后兔的血管内膜增殖

目的：探讨兔髂动脉急性损伤后，氟伐他汀对血管内膜增殖的抑制作用及机制。 方法： 给新西兰大耳白兔行右髂动脉球囊导管内膜剥脱术，术后灌胃予氟伐他汀（8 mg·kg-1·d-1）治疗28 d，术前、术后3 h及3 d用放射免疫法测定血清中内皮素-1、血栓素A2和前列环素浓度；28 d后HE染色观察血管内膜增生情况，免疫组织化学方法检测细胞外基质的变化。结果： ① 兔髂动脉急性损伤后血清内皮素-1及血栓素A2浓度即明显增加，前列环素水平则显著下降；氟伐他汀治疗显著抑制内皮素-1和血栓素A2的升高；提高血清前列环素的水平；② 氟伐他汀治疗减轻了内膜TGF-β1的过度表达及细胞外基质（FN、LN）的沉积；③ 氟伐他汀显著抑制了内膜的增殖和肥厚。结论：氟伐他汀治疗抑制血管损伤后血栓的形成，减轻了内膜的增殖及内膜中细胞外基质的沉积。

Inhibitory effect of fluvastatin on intimal hyperplasiaafter balloon injury

AIM: To investigate the effects of fluvastatin on intimal hyperplasia following balloon injury of rabbit iliac artery. METHODS: The iliac arteries of twelve white New Zealand rabbits were injured with an inflated balloon catheter, six rabbits were given fluvastatin 8 mg·kg-1·d-1 by gavage, the others served as controls. Serum concentrations of endothelin, thromboxane A2 and prostacyclin were measured by radioimmunoassay at time points before, 3 hours and 3 days after balloon injury. After 28 days, ratio of intima-to-media area (I/M) of the injured arteries were calculated using a computer image analysis system and the alteration of TGF-β1 and extracellular matrix (FN, LN) were quantified with immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: ① Serum endothelin-1 and thromboxane A2 significantly increased after injury, whereas serum prostacyclin markedly decreased. The alterations were completely reversed by the treatment with fluvastatin. ② The expression of TGF-β1 and deposition of ECM in intimal were much lower than that in the untreatment animals. ③ Intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury was significantly attenuated by fluvastatin treatment. CONCLUSION: The inhibitory effects of fluvastatin on intimal hyperplasia after balloon injury may attribute to its inhibiting thrombosis and deposition of ECM.
