Protein kinase C βII (PKCβII) levels increase in the myocardium of patients with end‐stage heart failure (HF). Also targeted overexpression of PKCβII in the myocardium of mice leads to dilated cardiomyopathy associated with inflammation, fibrosis and myocardial dysfunction. These reports suggest a deleterious role of PKCβII in HF development. Using a post‐myocardial infarction (MI) model of HF in rats, we determined the benefit of chronic inhibition of PKCβII on the progression of HF over a period of 6 weeks after the onset of symptoms and the cellular basis for these effects. Four weeks after MI, rats with HF signs that were treated for 6 weeks with the PKCβII selective inhibitor (βIIV5‐3 conjugated to TAT47–57 carrier peptide) (3 mg/kg/day) showed improved fractional shortening (from 21% to 35%) compared to control (TAT47–57 carrier peptide alone). Formalin‐fixed mid‐ventricle tissue sections stained with picrosirius red, haematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue dyes exhibited a 150% decrease in collagen deposition, a two‐fold decrease in inflammation and a 30% reduction in mast cell degranulation, respectively, in rat hearts treated with the selective PKCβII inhibitor. Further, a 90% decrease in active TGFβ1 and a significant reduction in SMAD2/3 phosphorylation indicated that the selective inhibition of PKCβII attenuates cardiac remodelling mediated by the TGF‐SMAD signalling pathway. Therefore, sustained selective inhibition of PKCβII in a post‐MI HF rat model improves cardiac function and is associated with inhibition of pathological myocardial remodelling. 相似文献

Excessive immune‐mediated inflammatory reaction plays a deleterious role in ventricular remodelling after myocardial infarction (MI). Interleukin (IL)‐38 is a newly characterized cytokine of the IL‐1 family and has been reported to exert a protective effect in some autoimmune diseases. However, its role in cardiac remodelling post‐MI remains unknown. In this study, we found that the expression of IL‐38 was increased in infarcted heart after MI induced in C57BL/6 mice by permanent ligation of the left anterior descending artery. In addition, our data showed that ventricular remodelling after MI was significantly ameliorated after recombinant IL‐38 injection in mice. This amelioration was demonstrated by better cardiac function, restricted inflammatory response, attenuated myocardial injury and decreased myocardial fibrosis. Our results in vitro revealed that IL‐38 affects the phenotype of dendritic cells (DCs) and IL‐38 plus troponin I (TNI)‐treated tolerogenic DCs dampened adaptive immune response when co‐cultured with CD4+T cells. In conclusion, IL‐38 plays a protective effect in ventricular remodelling post‐MI, one possibility by influencing DCs to attenuate inflammatory response. Therefore, targeting IL‐38 may hold a new therapeutic potential in treating MI. 相似文献

Tongguan capsule is a compound Chinese medicine used to treat ischaemic heart diseases. This study aimed to investigate whether Tongguan capsule‐derived herb (TGD) has a preventive effect on atrial fibrillation (AF) in post‐myocardial infarction (MI) rats and to determine the underlying mechanisms. MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. TGD was administered to the post‐MI rats over a 4‐week period. The TGD‐treated rats had lower rates of AF inducibility and shorter AF durations than the MI rats. TGD improved the left atrial (LA) conduction velocity and homogeneity. It reduced the fibrosis‐positive areas and the protein levels of collagen types I and III in the left atrium. In vitro, it inhibited the expression of collagen types I and III by inhibiting the proliferation, migration, differentiation and cytokine secretion of cardiac fibroblasts (CFs). In conclusion, the current study demonstrated that TGD reduces susceptibility to AF and improves LA conduction function in rats with post‐MI by inhibiting left atrial fibrosis and modulating CFs. Targeting the CF population may be a novel antiarrhythmic therapeutic approach. 相似文献

This study was aimed at investigating whether Elabela (ELA) gene therapy can promote angiogenesis in the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). The fusion expression plasmid pAAV-3 × Flag/ELA-32 was successfully constructed using molecular cloning technique. The model of acute MI was established by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery in mice. Adeno-associated virus serotype 9 (AAV9) was injected into the surrounding myocardium and tail vein immediately after the model was established. AAV was injected again from the tail vein one week later. Compared with the MI+PBS (control) group, the serum N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) concentration, and the values of left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd) and left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVDs) of the MI+AAV-ELA (gene therapy) group were significantly decreased, while the value of left ventricular ejection fraction was significantly increased at 2 and 4 weeks after operation. Compared with the control group, the expression of CD105 and vWF and the percentage of CD31- and Ki67–co-positive cells were significantly increased in the gene therapy group. Moreover, the expressions of apelin peptide jejunum (APJ) receptor, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGFR2, Jagged1 and Notch3 in the heart tissue around the infarction were up-regulated in mice with gene therapy. The results suggest that ELA activates VEFG/VEGFR2 and Jagged1/Notch3 pathways through APJ to promote angiogenesis after myocardial infarction. ELA gene therapy may be used in the treatment of ischaemic cardiomyopathy in future. 相似文献

Apelin is a newly discovered peptide that has been recently shown to have cardioprotective effects in the animal model of myocardial infarction (MI) and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injuries. The aim of the present study was to investigate the long term cardioprotective effect of [Pyr1]-apelin-13 in the rat model of MI. Male Wistar rats (n = 22) were randomly divided into three groups: (1) sham operated group (2) control MI group and (3) MI treated with apelin (MI-AP group). MI animals were subjected to 30 min of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) ligation and 14 days of reperfusion. 24 h after LAD ligation, apelin (10 nmol/kg/day) was administered i.p. for 5 days. Blood sampling was performed at days 1, 3, 5 and 7 after MI for determination of serum changes of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO). Myocardial infarct size (IS) and hemodynamic function were also measured at the end of the study at day 14. We found out that post infarct treatment with apelin decreases infarct size, serum levels of LDH, CK-MB and MDA and increases heart rate and serum level of NO in the consecutive days, but there were no significant differences in blood pressure in the MI-AP group in comparison with MI. In conclusion, apelin has long term cardioprotective effects against myocardial infarction through attenuation of cardiac tissue injury and lipid peroxidation and enhancement of NO production. 相似文献

Despite the controversy in mechanism, rodent and clinical studies have demonstrated beneficial effects of stem/progenitor cell therapy after myocardial infarction (MI). In a rat ischaemic reperfusion MI model, we investigated the effects of immunomodification of CD 34+ cells on heart function and myocardial conduction. Bispecific antibody (BiAb), consisting of an anti‐myosin light chain antibody and anti‐CD45 antibody, injected intravenously was used to direct human CD34+ cells to injured myocardium. Results were compared to echocardiography guided intramyocardial (IM) injection of CD34+ cells and PBS injected intravenously. Treatment was administered 2 days post MI. Echocardiography was performed at 5 weeks and 3 months which demonstrated LV dilatation prevention and fractional shortening improvement in both the BiAb and IM injection approaches, with BiAb achieving better results. Histological analyses demonstrated a decrease in infarct size and increase in arteriogenesis in both BiAb and IM injection. Electrophysiological properties were studied 5 weeks after treatments by optical mapping. Conduction velocity (CV), action potential duration (APD) and rise time were significantly altered in the MI area. The BiAb treated group demonstrated a more normalized activation pattern of conduction and normalization of CV at shorter pacing cycle lengths. The ventricular tachycardia inducibility was lowest in the BiAb treatment group. Intravenous administration of BiAb offers an effective means of stem cell delivery for myocardial repair post‐acute MI. Such non‐invasive approach was shown to offer a distinct advantage to more invasive direct IM delivery. 相似文献

Exosomes are served as substitutes for stem cell therapy, playing important roles in mediating heart repair during myocardial infarction injury. Evidence have indicated that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) pre‐conditioning bone marrow‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and their secreted exosomes promote macrophage polarization and tissue repair in several inflammation diseases; however, it has not been fully elucidated in myocardial infarction (MI). This study aimed to investigate whether LPS‐primed BMSC‐derived exosomes could mediate inflammation and myocardial injury via macrophage polarization after MI. Here, we found that exosomes derived from BMSCs, in both Exo and L‐Exo groups, increased M2 macrophage polarization and decreased M1 macrophage polarization under LPS stimulation, which strongly depressed LPS‐dependent NF‐κB signalling pathway and partly activated the AKT1/AKT2 signalling pathway. Compared with Exo, L‐Exo had superior therapeutic effects on polarizing M2 macrophage in vitro and attenuated the post‐infarction inflammation and cardiomyocyte apoptosis by mediating macrophage polarization in mice MI model. Consequently, we have confidence in the perspective that low concentration of LPS pre‐conditioning BMSC‐derived exosomes may develop into a promising cell‐free treatment strategy for clinical treatment of MI. 相似文献

Exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) leads to down-regulation of inflammatory responses and provides myocardial protection during acute ischemia/reperfusion injury; however its role during chronic heart failure (CHF) due to myocardial infarction (MI) is yet to be unveiled. We previously reported that H2S inhibits antiangiogenic factors such, as endostatin and angiostatin, but a little is known about its effect on parstatin (a fragment of proteinase-activated receptor-1, PAR-1). We hypothesize that H2S inhibits parstatin formation and promotes VEGF activation, thus promoting angiogenesis and significantly limiting the extent of MI injury. To verify this hypothesis MI was created in 12 week-old male mice by ligation of left anterior descending artery (LAD). Sham surgery was performed except LAD ligation. After the surgery mice were treated with sodium hydrogen sulfide (30 μmol/l NaHS, a donor for H2S, in drinking water) for 4 weeks. The LV tissue was analyzed for VEGF, flk-1 and flt-1, endostatin, angiostatin and parstatin. The expression of VEGF, flk-1 and flt-1 were significantly increased in treated mice while the level of endostatin, angiostatin and parstatin were decreased compared to in untreated mice. The echocardiography in mice treated with H2S showed the improvement of heart function compared to in untreated mice. The X-ray and Doppler blood flow measurements showed enhancement of cardiac-angiogenesis in mice treated with H2S. This observed cytoprotection was associated with an inhibition of anti-angiogenic proteins and stimulation of angiogenic factors. We established that administration of H2S at the time of MI ameliorated infarct size and preserved LV function during development of MI in mice. These results suggest that H2S is cytoprotective and angioprotective during evolution of MI. 相似文献

Apela (APJ early endogenous ligand, also known as elabela or toddler) is a recently discovered peptide hormone. Based on genetic studies in zebrafish, apela was found to be important for endoderm differentiation and heart development during embryogenesis. Although common phenotypes of apela and APJ-null zebrafish during embryonic development suggested that apela interacts with the APJ receptor, kinetics of apela binding to APJ and intracellular signaling pathways for apela remain unknown. The role of apela in adults is also uncertain. Using a chimeric apela ligand, we showed direct binding of apela to APJ with high affinity (Kd = 0.51 nm) and the ability of apelin, the known peptide ligand for APJ, to compete for apela binding. Apela, similar to apelin, acts through the inhibitory G protein pathway by inhibiting forskolin-stimulated cAMP production and by inducing ERK1/2 phosphorylation. In adult rats, apela is expressed exclusively in the kidney, unlike the wide tissue distribution of apelin. In vivo studies demonstrated the ability of apela to regulate fluid homeostasis by increasing diuresis and water intake. Dose-response studies further indicated that apela induces 2- and 5-fold higher maximal responses than apelin in ERK1/2 phosphorylation and diuresis/water intake, respectively. After designing an apela antagonist, we further demonstrated the role of endogenous ligand(s) in regulating APJ-mediated fluid homeostasis. Our results identified apela as a potent peptide hormone capable of regulating fluid homeostasis in adult kidney through coupling to the APJ-mediated Gi signaling pathway. 相似文献

The prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and resultant chronic heart failure remains extremely poor despite continuous advancements in optimal medical therapy and interventional procedures. Animal experiments and clinical trials using adult stem cell therapy following MI have shown a global improvement of myocardial function. The emergence of stem cell transplantation approaches has recently represented promising alternatives to stimulate myocardial regeneration. Regarding their tissue‐specific properties, cardiac stem cells (CSCs) residing within the heart have advantages over other stem cell types to be the best cell source for cell transplantation. However, time‐consuming and costly procedures to expanse cells prior to cell transplantation and the reliability of cell culture and expansion may both be major obstacles in the clinical application of CSC‐based transplantation therapy after MI. The recognition that the adult heart possesses endogenous CSCs that can regenerate cardiomyocytes and vascular cells has raised the unique therapeutic strategy to reconstitute dead myocardium via activating these cells post‐MI. Several strategies, such as growth factors, mircoRNAs and drugs, may be implemented to potentiate endogenous CSCs to repair infarcted heart without cell transplantation. Most molecular and cellular mechanism involved in the process of CSC‐based endogenous regeneration after MI is far from understanding. This article reviews current knowledge opening up the possibilities of cardiac repair through CSCs activation in situ in the setting of MI. 相似文献

Danqi soft capsule (DQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine containing Salvia miltiorrhiza and Panax notoginseng; it is safe and efficient in treating ischaemic heart diseases. The purpose of the present study was to assess whether DQ could prevent infarct border zone (IBZ) remodelling and decrease ventricular arrhythmias occurrence in post‐myocardial infarction (MI) stage. MI was induced by a ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery. DQ was administered to the post‐MI rats started from 1 week after MI surgery for 4 weeks. The results showed that DQ treatment significantly attenuated tachyarrhythmia induction rates and arrhythmia score in post‐MI rats. In echocardiography, DQ improved left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function. Histological assessment revealed that DQ significantly reduced fibrotic areas and myocyte areas, and increased connexin (Cx) 43 positive areas in IBZ. Western blot revealed that DQ treatment significantly reduced the protein expression levels of type I and III collagens, α‐smooth muscle actin (α‐SMA), transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) and Smad3 phosphorylation, while increasing Cx43 amounts. Overall, these findings mainly indicated that DQ intervention regulates interstitial fibrosis, Cx43 expression and myocyte hypertrophy by TGF‐β1/Smad3 pathway in IBZ, inhibits LV remodelling and reduces vulnerability to tachyarrhythmias after MI. This study presents a proof of concept for novel antiarrhythmic strategies in preventing IBZ remodelling, modifying the healed arrhythmogenic substrate and thus reducing susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmias in the late post‐MI period. 相似文献

Myocardial infarction (MI) is the result, in mostly cases, of the destabilization and rupture of atherosclerotic lesions. The destruction of cardiac tissue resulting from myocardial ischemia could further result in heart failure. It has been suggested that plaque instability may be mediated by matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) family. Studies have identified increased MMP-2 and MMP-9 in human platelets, and acute myocardial infarction patients with elevated MMP-2 and MMP-9 levels. However, the alteration of MMP-2 and MMP-9 from post MI left ventricle remodeling to heart failure remains to be clarified. The purpose of this study is to investigate the serum concentrations and activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the developing heart failure from post MI patients. Twenty eight patients with MI without heart failure (Killip FC I) (group A; compensated) and twenty seven MI patients with heart failure (Killip II-III) (group B; decompensated) were collected to evaluate the serum levels and activities of MMP-2 and MMP-9 by ELISA and Zymography, respectively. It was observed that the both serum levels and activities of MMP-9 significantly increased (P < 0.01) in decompensated group compared to compensated group, but there was no significant difference of serum MMP-2 levels and activities between two groups. The highly elevated serum MMP-9 concentration of decompensated patients is not related with inflammatory or localized infarct area of myocardium and the real mechanisms remain to be revealed. We suggest that the increase of MMP-9 levels and activity may be used as a new marker to diagnose the development of heart failure in patients with post MI, and provide the therapeutic implications in the future. 相似文献

Angiogenesis is critical for re‐establishing the blood supply to the surviving myocardium after myocardial infarction (MI). Long non‐coding RNA ANRIL (lncRNA‐ANRIL) has been reported to regulate endothelial functions in cardiovascular diseases. This study was to determine the role of lncRNA‐ANRIL in Akt regulation and cardiac functions after MI. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were exposed to oxygen‐glucose deprivation (OGD) to mimic in vivo ischaemia. The MI model in mice was induced by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery. OGD remarkably decreased lncRNA‐ANRIL expression level, reduced the phosphorylated levels of Akt and eNOS proteins, and inhibited NO release and cell viability, which were duplicated by shRNA‐mediated gene knockdown of lncRNA‐ANRIL. Conversely, all these effects induced by OGD were abolished by adenovirus‐mediated overexpression of lncRNA‐ANRIL in HUVECs. Further, OGD impaired cell migrations and tube formations in HUVECs, which were reversed by lncRNA‐ANRIL overexpression or Akt up‐regulation. RNA immunoprecipitation analysis indicated that the affinity of lncRNA‐ANRIL to Akt protein was increased in OGD‐treated cells. In animal studies, adenovirus‐mediated lncRNA‐ANRIL overexpression increased the phosphorylated levels of Akt and eNOS, promoted post‐ischaemic angiogenesis and improved heart functions in mice with MI surgery. LncRNA‐ANRIL regulates Akt phosphorylation to improve endothelial functions, which promotes angiogenesis and improves cardiac functions in mice following MI. In this perspective, targeting lncRNA‐ANRIL/Akt may be considered to develop a drug to treat angiogenesis‐related diseases. 相似文献

The effect of pyridostigmine (PYR) - an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor - on hemodynamics and cardiac autonomic control, was never studied in conscious myocardial infarcted mice. Telemetry transmitters were implanted into the carotid artery under isoflurane anesthesia. Seven to ten days after recovery from the surgery, basal arterial pressure and heart rate were recorded, while parasympathetic and sympathetic tone (ΔHR) was evaluated by means of methyl atropine and propranolol. After the basal hemodynamic recording the mice were subjected to left coronary artery ligation for producing myocardial infarction (MI), or sham operation, and implantation of minipumps filled with PYR or saline. Separate groups of anesthetized (isoflurane) mice previously (4 weeks) subjected to MI, or sham coronary artery ligation, were submitted to cardiac function examination. The mice exhibited an infarct length of approximately 12%, no change in arterial pressure and increased heart rate only in the 1st week after MI. Vagal tone decreased in the 1st week, while the sympathetic tone was increased in the 1st and 4th week after MI. PYR prevented the increase in heart rate but did not affect the arterial pressure. Moreover, PYR prevented the increase in sympathetic tone throughout the 4 weeks. Concerning the parasympathetic tone, PYR not only impaired its attenuation in the 1st week, but enhanced it in the 4th week. MI decreased ejection fraction and increased diastolic and systolic volume. Therefore, the pharmacological increase of peripheral acetylcholine availability by means of PYR prevented tachycardia, increased parasympathetic and decreased sympathetic tone after MI in mice. 相似文献

Excessive activation of pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophages following acute myocardial infarction (MI) aggravates adverse cardiac remodelling and heart dysfunction. There are two break points in the tricarboxylic acid cycle of M1 macrophages, and aspartate‐arginosuccinate shunt compensates them. Aminooxyacetic acid (AOAA) is an inhibitor of aspartate aminotransferase in the aspartate‐arginosuccinate shunt. Previous studies showed that manipulating macrophage metabolism may control macrophage polarization and inflammatory response. In this study, we aimed to clarify the effects of AOAA on macrophage metabolism and polarization and heart function after MI. In vitro, AOAA inhibited lactic acid and glycolysis and enhanced ATP levels in classically activated M1 macrophages. Besides, AOAA restrained pro‐inflammatory M1 macrophages and promoted anti‐inflammatory M2 phenotype. In vivo, MI mice were treated with AOAA or saline for three consecutive days. Remarkably, AOAA administration effectively inhibited the proportion of M1 macrophages and boosted M2‐like phenotype, which subsequently attenuated infarct size as well as improved post‐MI cardiac function. Additionally, AOAA attenuated NLRP3‐Caspase1/IL‐1β activation and decreased the release of IL‐6 and TNF‐α pro‐inflammatory cytokines and reciprocally increased IL‐10 anti‐inflammatory cytokine level in both ischaemic myocardium and M1 macrophages. In conclusion, short‐term AOAA treatment significantly improves cardiac function in mice with MI by balancing macrophage polarization through modulating macrophage metabolism and inhibiting NLRP3‐Caspase1/IL‐1β pathway. 相似文献

瞬时受体电位香草酸亚型1 (transient receptor potential vanilloid 1, TRPV1)在心肌缺血激活后可传导心绞痛信号和释放P物质(substance P, SP).SP是速激肽家族成员之一,主要通过结合并激活神经激肽1 (neurokinin 1,NK1)受体发挥作用. TRPV1和SP在缺血性心脏病中对心功能的恢复和重塑有一定保护作用,但对心肌梗死后凋亡的作用及具体机制尚不明确.本研究用TRPV1基因敲除(TRPV1-/- )小鼠和野生型(wide type, WT)小鼠建立心肌梗死模型,并外源性给予SP和NK1受体拮抗剂RP67580,用TTC染色法观察梗死的面积,TUNEL法检测心肌细胞凋亡指数,Western印迹方法检测caspase-3、Bcl-2、Bax、p53的蛋白表达.结果发现,心肌梗死24 h后,TRPV1-/-小鼠比WT小鼠梗死面积更大,凋亡指数和caspase-3活性更高,Bcl-2/Bax和p53蛋白表达更低. SP预处理可以明显缩小TRPV1-/-小鼠梗死面积,降低凋亡指数、caspase-3活性和升高Bcl-2/Bax比值,而在WT小鼠中改善不明显.外源性给予RP67580,阻断SP与NK1受体结合后,与相应对照组相比,WT小鼠梗死面积和凋亡指数更大,caspase-3蛋白表达更高,Bcl-2/Bax比值更低;TRPV1-/-小鼠与相应对照组比较,凋亡指数和caspase-3表达升高,Bcl-2/Bax比值降低.研究结果表明,SP可能介导了TRPV1在急性心肌梗死后凋亡中的保护作用. 相似文献
