钙通道阻滞剂对缺氧右心室心肌钙调神经磷酸酶活性的调控作用

目的:探讨钙调神经磷酸酶(CaN)在大鼠慢性缺氧性右心室肥大中的作用以及L-型钙通道阻滞剂对其的影响。方法:将大鼠置于氧浓度为(10±0.5)%的大型玻璃舱中每天24 h缺氧持续共7 d建立大鼠慢性缺氧模型。实验大鼠分为3组,每组各20只,即正常组、缺氧组、苯磺酸氨氯地平(norvasc)处理组,缺氧组持续缺氧21 d,norvasc处理组在缺氧的同时灌喂norvasc 30 mg·k^-1·d^-1。第21 d每组取10只大鼠分离心脏称重,并测CaN活性水平,另10只取心脏测定心肌细胞[Ca²⁺]_i。结果:(1)缺氧组右室与左室加室间隔的重量比、右室重/体重均明显高于正常组和norvasc处理组(均P＜0.01) 。(2)缺氧组右心室心肌细胞[Ca²⁺]_i 明显高于正常组(P＜0.01),而norvasc处理组则明显低于缺氧组(P＜0.01)。(3)缺氧组右心室心肌CaN活性明显高于正常组(P＜0.01),而norvasc处理组则明显低于缺氧组(P＜0.01)。结论: CaN可能参与了大鼠慢性缺氧性右心室肥大, L-型钙通道阻滞剂可能是通过降低心肌细胞内钙浓度,调控CaN活性而阻滞慢性缺氧右心室肥大。

Blockade of L - type Ca2 + channels suppresses activation of calcineurin and development of right ventricle cardiac hypertrophy induced by chronic hypoxia

AIM: To study the role of calcineurin in the progression of right ventricle cardiac hypertrophy in the chronic hypoxia rats and examine the effect of Ca²⁺ channel blockers on the activation of calcineurin. METHODS: Sixty rats were divided into three groups: treatment group with amlodipine besylate ablets, chronic hypoxia group, normal control group with normal oxygen. The rats in treatment group and chronic hypoxia group were exposed to normobaric chronic hypoxia(10±0.5)% O₂ for 21 days. All hearts were removed immediately after dissection for further investigation. RESULTS: (1)The RV/(LV+S),RV/BW were significantly higher in hypoxia group than that of control group and treatment group(P<0.01,respectively); (2) Right ventricular cardiomyocytes _i in treatment group were significantly higher than that of control group and lower that that of hypoxia group(P<0.01,respectively); (3) The activity of calcineurin of the heart in hypoxia group were significantly increased when compared with control group. Amlodipine besylate ablets apparently suppressed the activity of calcineurin(P<0.01). CONCLUSION: Calcineurin possibly plays a role in the progression of right ventricle cardiac hypertrophy in the chronic hypoxia rats;Blockade of L-type Ca²⁺ channels with amlodipine besylate ablets effectively prevents its development possibly by inhibition of calcium inflow and suppression of the calcineurin activity.
