Isoprenaline (IPRO) has been reported to cause pathological lesions of the embryonic heart. The purpose of the present study was to ascertain whether the development of IPRO-induced changes can be reduced--similarly as in adults--by beta blockade or calcium antagonists. IPRO was administered to 10-day-old chick embryos intraamnially (i.a.) in a dose of 2 X 10 mg.kg-1 per 48 h; propranolol (Inderal) and verapamil (Isoptin) were injected i.a. in a dose of 1.0 or 10.0 mg.kg-1 before each injection of IPRO. It was found that propranolol completely blocked the cardiac IPRO-induced changes, i.e. cardiomegaly, avascular areas and elevation of cAMP. On the other hand, verapamil was found to have no protective effect in any dose used. Furthermore, it increased the mortality of experimental embryos. This fact support the hypothesis that cardiac sensitivity to calcium antagonists may differ during prenatal development. 相似文献

Intra-amnial administration of isoprenaline (IPRO) to chick embryos induces a number of myocardial lesions. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether similar changes may also be induced after injection of spontaneously oxidized isoprenaline and commercially obtained adrenochrome. Cardiotoxicity of these substances has been demonstrated in adult animals. IPRO, oxidized IPRO, or adrenochrome were administered intra-amnially to 10-day-old chick embryos at doses of 0.1, 1.0, 10.0, and 100.0 mg X kg-1. Parallel experimental groups received propranolol at a dose of 1 mg X kg-1, 15 s before injection of IPRO or oxidized IPRO. The cAMP level in the heart was determined by radioimmunoassay 2 and 30 min after administration of IPRO, oxidized IPRO, or adrenochrome at a single dose of 10.0 mg X kg-1. It has been found that in embryos the effect of IPRO and oxidized IPRO is dose dependent. The rise in mortality and development of cardiomegaly together with increased hydration and disturbances of the development of coronary vascularization were highly significant starting from the dose of 10 mg X kg-1. Furthermore, both drugs significantly increased cAMP levels in the embryonic heart. On the other hand, the administration of adrenochrome was without any effect. The changes induced by IPRO were prevented by the administration of the beta-blocking agent propranolol; the lesions induced by spontaneously oxidized IPRO were, however, prevented only partially. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to establish whether intraamnial administration of toxic doses of isoproterenol to chick embryos increases cardiac accumulation of strontium, the homologue element of calcium. It has been shown that the ability of embryonic tissues (blood, heart, and liver) to accumulate 85Sr decreases significantly during ontogeny. Administration of isoproterenol to chick embryos did not elevate the concentration of 85Sr in the heart. It seems, therefore, that isoproterenol-induced developmental changes in the chick embryonic myocardium are not necessarily due to intracellular calcium (as measured by 85Sr) overload. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to establish whether administration of toxic doses of isoproterenol (IPRO) increases the accumulation of strontium--a homologue element of calcium--in the rat heart during postnatal development. It has been shown that in 14-day-old animals 85Sr uptake was not increased; starting from the 30th day of postnatal life this parameter increases significantly up to adulthood. 相似文献

1. After a single injection of 40 mg kg-1 of isoprenaline to the carp, lysophospholipids appear in the tissue of the heart ventricle, ethanolamine plasmalogens increase and choline plasmalogens decrease; phosphatidylinositol is lowered in the spongious layer only. 2. Daily administration of 5 mg kg-1 of the drug leads, after 5 doses, to a dramatic decrease of the diphosphatidylglycerol content; during the subsequent 5 and 10 doses a return to normal values occurs. Shifts in plasmalogens are similar to those found after a single high dose. Some other phospholipids change significantly. 3. All changes reveal that the spongious musculature is more sensitive to the drug than the compact one. 相似文献

The phospholipid content of the spongious and compact musculature of the heart of the carp (Cyprinus carpio) was compared. The content of phospholipids is higher in the spongious musculature, the greatest difference being in the content of diphosphatidylglycerol: 2.53 mumol P . g-1 wet weight in the spongious layer and 1.29 mumol P . g-1 wet weight in the compact one. In both tissues plasmalogens represent 20-27% of the tissue content of choline and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides. 相似文献

Isoproterenol is known to cause severe myocardial lesions when given in toxic doses to adult homoiotherms. Previous studies on chick embryos revealed myocardial damage with scattered necroses in the outer layer of ventricular myocardium. The present ultrastructural study, performed on embryos 6 to 20 days old, has shown various types of cellular lesions; mainly cellular oedema, mitochondrial swelling, necroses of isolated cardiac muscle cells, fatty degeneration, accumulation of glycogen, and signs of increased proteosynthesis in the surviving muscle cells. Morphological features of the lesions differed from those which are known to be induced by isoproterenol in adult animals and seemed to depend on the stage of embryonic development. 相似文献

Diabetes mellitus and cardiac function 总被引:18,自引:0,他引:18
Cardiovascular complications are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in diabetic patients. Coronary atherosclerosis is enhanced in diabetics, whereas myocardial infarction represents 20% of deaths of diabetic subjects. Furthermore, re-infarction and heart failure are more common in the diabetics. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is characterized by an early diastolic dysfunction and a later systolic one, with intracellular retention of calcium and sodium and loss of potassium. In addition, diabetes mellitus accelerates the development of left ventricular hypertrophy in hypertensive patients and increases cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Treating the cardiovascular problems in diabetics must be undertaken with caution. Special consideration must be given with respect to the ionic and metabolic changes associated with diabetes. For example, although ACE inhibitors and calcium channel blockers are suitable agents, potassium channel openers cause myocardial preconditioning and decrease the infarct size in animal models, but they inhibit the insulin release after glucose administration in healthy subjects. Furthermore, potassium channel blockers abolish myocardial preconditioning and increase infarct size in animal models, but they protect the heart from the fatal arrhytmias induced by ischemia and reperfusion which may be important in diabetes. For example, diabetic peripheral neuropathy usually presents with silent ischemia and infarction. Mechanistically, parasympathetic cardiac nerve dysfunction, expressed as increased resting heart rate and decreased respiratory variation in heart rate, is more frequent than the sympathetic cardiac nerve dysfunction expressed as a decrease in the heart rate rise during standing. 相似文献

Verapamil, Prenylamine and, to a lesser extent, Cinnarizine were highly efficient in preventing the development or reducing the severity of heart lesions in cardiomyopathic hamster of the UM-X7.1 line. The calcium antagonistic compounds did not protect against the skeletal muscle changes already present at the time when treatment was initiated. The cardiac lesions were also significantly diminished in frequency and severity by a low calcium diet and in apparent contradiction, by parenteral administration of calcium gluconate. The relation of these electrolytes and creatine phosphokinase is not yet fully understood but suggests that a primary defect in muscles cell membranes may be responsible for hereditary cardiomyopathy in hamsters. 相似文献

Urotensin II (UTII) is a potent vasoactive peptide. Recent studies have demonstrated increased expression of both UTII and its receptor (UTR) expression in end-stage congestive heart failure (CHF), but it is unclear whether UTII and UTR are late stage markers of decompensation, or earlier adaptive responses. The purpose of this study was to measure the effects of chronic UTII administration in normal and volume overloaded animals. Chronic 4 weeks administration of UTII produced decreases in hemodynamic function in animals not subjected to volume overload while returning function to control levels in animals with overload. Expression levels of calcium regulatory proteins phospholamban (PLN), sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+) ATPase (SERCA2), and Na(+)/Ca(2+) exchanger (NCX) were measured to determine if administration of UTII resulted in aberrant Ca(2+) handling. Changes in protein expression revealed that UTII influenced Ca(2+) handling proteins in normal animals although these changes are not seen in the volume overload. 相似文献

The developing mammalian heart responds to a variety of conditions, including changes in nutrient availability, blood oxygenation, hemodynamics, or tissue homeostasis, with impressive growth plasticity. This ensures the formation of a functional and normal sized organ by birth. During embryonic and fetal development the heart is exposed to various physiological and potentially pathological changes in the intrauterine environment which dramatically impact on normal cardiac function, tissue composition, and morphology. This paper summarizes the mechanisms employed by the embryonic and fetal heart to adapt to various intrauterine challenges to prevent or minimize postnatal consequences of impaired cardiac development. Future investigations of this growth plasticity might lead to new therapeutic strategies for the prevention of cardiac disease in postnatal life. 相似文献

Mechanical overload-induced apoptosis: A study in cultured neonatal ventricular myocytes and fibroblasts 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Apoptosis of cardiac myocytes has been implicated in cardiac dysfunction due to chronic hemodynamic overload. Reports on the role of apoptosis in the transition from hypertrophy to decompensated heart failure are not unequivocal. In this study we analysed the direct relationship between mechanical overload and induction of apoptosis in an in vitro model of cultured heart cells. Cyclic mechanical stretch was applied to cultured neonatal rat ventricular myocytes and fibroblasts. Several indicators of apoptosis were examined, such as morphological features, caspase-3 activity and DNA fragmentation. Mechanical strain did not induce any significant change in these parameters as compared to non-stretched myocytes or fibroblasts. However, administration of staurosporine, a known inducer of apoptosis, induced massive apoptosis in myocytes as well as fibroblasts. We conclude that this in vitro cell model system lacks a direct link between mechanical stretch and apoptosis. The three-dimensional structure-function relationship of myocardial tissue in the intact heart may elicit stretch-induced molecular signaling cascades in a much more complex way than in monolayer cultures of cardiac cells. 相似文献

While Huntington’s disease (HD) is classified as a neurological disorder, HD patients exhibit a high incidence of cardiovascular events leading to heart failure and death. In this study, we sought to better understand the cardiovascular phenotype of HD using the BACHD mouse model. The age-related decline in cardiovascular function was assessed by echocardiograms, electrocardiograms, histological and microarray analysis. We found that structural and functional differences between WT and BACHD hearts start at 3 months of age and continue throughout life. The aged BACHD mice develop cardiac fibrosis and ultimately apoptosis. The BACHD mice exhibited adaptive physiological changes to chronic isoproterenol treatment; however, the medication exacerbated fibrotic lesions in the heart. Gene expression analysis indicated a strong tilt toward apoptosis in the young mutant heart as well as changes in genes involved in cellular metabolism and proliferation. With age, the number of genes with altered expression increased with the large changes occurring in the cardiovascular disease, cellular metabolism, and cellular transport clusters. The BACHD model of HD exhibits a number of changes in cardiovascular function that start early in the disease progress and may provide an explanation for the higher cardiovascular risk in HD. 相似文献

The calcium ionophore ionomycin induces apoptosis-like events in the human embryonic kidney cell line at early times. Plasma membrane blebbing, mitochondrial depolarization, externalization of phosphatidylserine, and nuclear permeability changes can all be observed within 15 min of treatment. However, there is no activation of caspases or chromatin condensation. Expression of a fusion protein containing the enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) and human cytosolic Group IVA phospholipase A(2)alpha (EGFP-cPLA(2)alpha) in these cells prevents ionomycin-induced phosphatidylserine externalization and death. Cells expressing the cPLA(2)alpha mutant D43N, which does not bind calcium, retain their susceptibility to ionomycin-induced cell death. Both nonexpressing and EGFP-D43N-cPLA(2)alpha-expressing human embryonic kidney cells can be spared from ionomycin-induced cell death by pretreating them with exogenous arachidonic acid. Moreover, during calcium overload, mitochondrial depolarization is significantly lower in the EGFP-cPLA(2)alpha-expressing cells than in cells expressing normal amounts of cPLA(2)alpha. These results suggest that early cell death events promoted by an overload of calcium can be prevented by the presence of high levels of arachidonic acid. 相似文献

- 1.1. The biochemical characteristics of homogenates and mitochondria isolated from the outer and inner layers of the ventricular myocardium of carp were studied.
- 2.2. The homogenate prepared from the inner layer exhibited higher activity of cytochrome oxidase than that from the outer layer. No difference was found in the activity of cytochrome oxidase between mitochondria from the inner and outer layers. Difference spectra of cytochromes also showed that their content in mitochondria of both layers is similar and that the higher oxidative capacity of the spongious layer is due to a higher content of mitochondria.
- 3.3. In comparison with rat heart a higher content of cyt aa3 and a lower content of Cyt b and cyt cc1 were found in carp heart mitochondria.
- 4.4. In comparison with rat heart, carp heart mitochondrial enzymes were more sensitive to freezing-thawing and to detergent action.

The objective of the present study was to validate the presence and explore the characteristics of mitochondrial permeability transition (mPT) in isolated mitochondria from human heart tissue in order to investigate if previous findings in animal models of cardiac disorders are translatable to human disease. Mitochondria were rapidly isolated from fresh atrial tissue samples obtained from 14 patients undergoing Maze surgery due to atrial fibrillation. Human heart mitochondria exhibited typical mPT characteristics upon calcium overload such as swelling, evaluated by changes in light scattering, inhibition of respiration and loss of respiratory coupling. Swelling was a morphologically reversible event following transient calcium challenge. Calcium retention capacity (CRC), a quantitative measure of mPT sensitivity assayed by following extramitochondrial [Ca2+] and changes in respiration during a continuous calcium infusion, was significantly increased by cyclophilin D (CypD) inhibitors. The thiol-reactive oxidant phenylarsine oxide sensitized mitochondria to calcium-induced mPT. Release of the pro-apoptotic intermembrane protein cytochrome c was increased after, but not before, calcium discharge and respiratory inhibition in the CRC assay. From the present study, we conclude that adult viable heart mitochondria have a CypD- and oxidant-regulated mPT. The findings support that inhibition of mPT may be a relevant pharmacological target in human cardiac disease and may underlie the beneficial effect of cyclosporin A in reperfusion injury. 相似文献

Cardiac remodelling is commonly defined as a physiological or pathological state that may occur after conditions such as myocardial infarction, pressure overload, idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy or volume overload. When training excessively, the heart develops several myocardial adaptations causing a physiological state of cardiac remodelling. These morphological changes depend on the kind of training and are clinically characterised by modifications in cardiac size and shape due to increased load. Several studies have investigated morphological differences in the athlete’s heart between athletes performing strength training and athletes performing endurance training. Endurance training is associated with an increased cardiac output and volume load on the left and right ventricles, causing the endurance-trained heart to generate a mild to moderate dilatation of the left ventricle combined with a mild to moderate increase in left ventricular wall thickness. Strength training is characterised by an elevation of both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. This pressure overload causes an increase in left ventricular wall thickness. This may or may not be accompanied by a slight raise in the left ventricular volume. However, the development of an endurancetrained heart and a strength-trained heart should not be considered an absolute concept. Both forms of training cause specific morphological changes in the heart, dependent on the type of sport. (Neth Heart J 2008;16:129-33.) 相似文献

The present study was designed to induce massive accumulation of calcium in the myocardium and to evaluate the effect of calcium overload on myocardial contractile function and biochemical activity of cardiac subcellular membranes. Rats were treated with an oral administration of 500,000 units/kg of vitamin D3 for 3 consecutive days, and their hearts were sampled on the 5th day for biochemical analysis. On the 4th and 5th days, heart rate, mean aortic pressure, left ventricular systolic pressure and left ventricular dP/dt were significantly lowered in vitamin D3-treated rats, demonstrating the existence of appreciable myocardial contractile dysfunction. Marked increases in the myocardial calcium (67-fold increase) and mitochondrial calcium contents (24-fold increase) were observed by hypervitaminosis D3. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation and ATPase activity were significantly reduced by this treatment. A decline in sarcolemmal Na+, K+-ATPase activity was also observed, while relatively minor or insignificant changes in calcium uptake and ATPase activities of sarcoplasmic reticulum were detectable. Electron microscopic examination revealed calcium deposits in the mitochondria after vitamin D3 treatment. The results suggest that hypervitaminosis D3 produces massive accumulation of calcium in the myocardium, particularly in the cardiac mitochondrial membrane, which may induce an impairment in the mitochondrial function and eventually may lead to a failure in the cardiac contractile function. 相似文献
