安体舒通对自发性高血压大鼠心肌中的血管紧张素转换酶表达的影响

目的 观察自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)与Wistar-Kyoto(WKY)大鼠心肌细胞中血管紧张素转换酶(ACE)mRNA及其蛋白的表达差异,以及安体舒通对SHR心肌细胞中ACE mRNA表达的影响.方法 选取15只16周龄雄性SHR,随机分为对照组(n=7)和安体舒通组(n=8),另取10只同龄的正常血压WKY大鼠作为对照,尾袖法测定血压,药物干预4周后称取左心室质量及体质量,计算左室质量指数;采用RT-PCR法检测SHR对照组、安体舒通组、WKY组大鼠心肌中ACE mRNA的表达水平,Western blot法测定上述3组心肌中ACE蛋白表达水平.结果 (1)SHR对照组血压显著高于WKY组,差异有高度统计学意义(P<0.01);安体舒通可小幅度降低SHR血压,与SHR对照组比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);(2)WKY组的左室质量指数显著低于SHR对照组,差异有高度统计学意义(P<0.01);安体舒通组介于其他两组之间,且与SHR对照组的差异亦有高度统计学意义(P<0.01).(3)SHR对照组心肌细胞ACE mRNA及蛋白表达显著高于WKY组,差异有高度统计学意义(P<0.01);安体舒通组介于其他两组之间,高于WKY组,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05).结论 安体舒通可降低自发性高血压大鼠心肌中ACE mRNA及其蛋白的表达,可能为其抑制左室肥厚的一种潜在机制.

Effect of Spironolactone on Expression of Angiotensin-converting Enzyme in Heart of Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats

Objective To compare the difference of angiotensin-converting enzyme(ACE) expression in heart between spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR) and Wistar-Kyoto(WKY) rats,and to explore effects of spironolonctone on the ACE expression in SHR.Methods Sixteen-week-old male SHR and age-matched nomotensive WKY control rats were selected.SHR were randomly divided into placebo treated group,spironolactone treated group.The blood pressure(BP) was determinded by tailcuff.Four weeks after treatment,left ventricular weigh...
