摘要:

探讨地龙提取物(earthworm extract,EE)对压力超负荷诱导的大鼠心脏纤维化的作用及其机制。采用腹主动脉缩窄术建立压力超负荷诱导的大鼠心脏纤维化模型。36只Wistar雄性大鼠随机分为对照组、对照+EE低剂量组、模型组、模型+EE低剂量组、模型+EE高剂量组和模型+卡托普利组,每组6只。各组大鼠分别经腹腔注射EE、卡托普利或等体积生理盐水,每日1次,持续3周。小动物超声评估大鼠心脏功能;颈总动脉插管法测量大鼠的血压;Masson染色、天狼星红染色与qRT-PCR评估大鼠心脏纤维化;Western blot测定相关蛋白的表达。结果显示,与对照组比较,模型组大鼠心脏出现明显纤维化病变(P<0.01)。与模型组比较,EE各剂量组和卡托普利组均显著提高射血分数和左室短轴缩短率(P<0.05,P<0.01),并降低收缩压、舒张压及平均动脉压(P<0.05,P<0.01);EE能显著抑制大鼠心脏胶原沉积及纤维化病变(P<0.01),下调大鼠心脏中基质相互作用分子1(stromal interaction molecule 1,STIM1)/钙释放激活钙调节器1通道(calcium-release activated calcium modulator 1 channel,Orai1)和瞬时受体电位阳离子通道6(transient receptor potential cation channel 6,TRPC6)的蛋白表达(P<0.05,P<0.01)。综上所述,EE可能通过调控STIM1/Orai1及TRPC6的表达改善压力超负荷诱导的大鼠心脏纤维化。

Abstract:

This study aimed to investigate the effect and its potential mechanism of earthworm extract (EE) on pressure overload-induced cardiac fibrosis in rats. Using abdominal aortic constriction surgery, the in vivo rat model of cardiac fibrosis induced by pressure overload was established. Thirty-six Wistar male rats aged eight-week-old were randomly divided into the following groups: control group, control+EE low-dose group, model group, model+EE low-dose group, model+EE high-dose group, and model+captopril group, with six rats in each group. Rats in each group were injected intraperitoneally with EE, captopril, or vehicle daily for three weeks. Cardiac function of rats was evaluated by transthoracic echocardiography. Using the carotid artery catheterization, the blood pressure of rats was detected. Using Masson staining, picro sirius red staining and qRT-PCR, the changes of fibrosis in the heart tissues of rats were evaluated, respectively. By Western blot assay, the expression of relevant protein was detected. The results showed that compared to the control group, the hearts of the rats in the model group showed significant fibrosis (P<0.01). Compared to the model group, EE and captopril groups significantly increased the ejection fraction and fractional shortening (P<0.05, P<0.01), and significantly decreased the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure (P<0.05, P<0.01). EE significantly reduced collagen deposition and fibrosis in rat hearts (P<0.01) and downregulated the expression of the stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1), calcium-release activated calcium modulator 1 channel (Orai1), and transient receptor potential cation channel 6 (TRPC6) at protein level in the heart tissues of rats compared with model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). In conclusion, EE may ameliorate pressure overload-induced cardiac fibrosis through the regulation of the STIM1/Orai1 and TRPC6 signalings in rats.
