哮喘豚鼠内皮素、心钠素含量的变化及心钠素对内皮素含量的影响

目的:探讨内皮素-1(ET-1)在哮喘发病中的可能作用及心钠素(ANF)对ET-1水平的影响。方法:采用放免法测定各组豚鼠支气管肺泡灌洗液(BALF)和血浆ET-1、ANF、cGMP含量。结果:哮喘组豚鼠血浆及BALF中ET-1、ANF、cGMP均显著高于对照组;哮喘组豚鼠血浆中ANF与ET-1含量呈显著负相关(r=-0.638,P<0.05);BALF中ET-1与ANF含量呈高度负相关(r=-0.921,P<0.01)。哮喘组豚鼠血浆中ANF与cGMP含量呈显著正相关(r=0.848,P<0.01),BALF中ANF与cGMP含量呈显著正相关(r=0.831,P<0.01)。哮喘+重组大鼠ANF(rANF)组豚鼠停止输注rANF后30min,血浆及BALF中ET-1水平均明显低于哮喘组。cGMP水平显著高于哮喘组。结论:ET-1在哮喘的发病中可能有重要作用,ANF抑制ET-1合成及分泌。

Changes in endothelin-1 and atrial natriuretic factor and the effect of atrial natriuretic factor on the change of endothelin-1 in asthmatic guinea pigs

AIM: To investigate the possible role of endothelin(ET-1) in asthma pathogenesis and the effect of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) on changes of ET-1. METHODS: Measuring the contents of endothelin-1(ET-1),atrial natriuretic factor(ANF),cGMP in plasma and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) of guinea pigs. RESULTS: The contents of ET-1, ANF and cGMP in asthma group were higher than that of the control group; There was a significant negative correlation between ET-1 and ANF( r=-0.638,P <0.05) in plasma of the asthma group, and a significantly negative correlation between ET-1 and ANF( r=-0.921,P <0.01) in BALF of the asthma group. There was a significantly positive correlation between ANF and cGMP( r=0.848,P <0 .01) in plasma of the asthma group,and a significantly positive correlation between ANF and cGMP ( r=0.831,P <0.01) in BALF of the asthma group. The levels ET-1 in the asthma rat ANF(rANF) group were lower than those in the asthma group,and the levels of cGMP in the asthma rat ANF(rANF) group were higher than those in the asthma group after ceasing to infuse rANF for guinea pigs for 30 minutes. CONCLUSION: ET-1 might play an important role in the pathogenesis of asthma.ANF might inhibit production of ET-1.
