目的:探讨右心室心尖部起搏对Beagle犬心室肌电重构及细胞外信号调节激酶(ERK)1/2磷酸化水平的影响。方法成年雄性Beagle犬12只,年龄3~4年,体重20~24kg,随机分为对照组(n=6)和起搏组(n=6),均植入DDD起搏器后程控至关闭状态,起搏组术后1周时开启起搏器并使心室起搏最大化。于术前及术后1周、4周关闭起搏器后行心电图及超声心动描记术检查,术后4周时处死动物,观察心肌病理结果,采用免疫印迹法检测犬右心室心肌总ERK1/2及其磷酸化水平的变化。结果两组心室肌病理及超声心动描记术、心率、QRS时间、总ERK1/2的表达差异均无统计学意义(均P>0.05);与对照组相比,术后4周时起搏组Tp- e间期、Q- T间期均增大,p- ERK增多(均P<0.05)。结论右心室心尖部起搏可以导致心肌复极延长及促进心肌ERK1/2的磷酸化。
Objective To investigate the effects of right ventricular apical pacing on electrical remodeling and ERK1/2 phosphorylation in beagle myocardium. Methods 12 male beagles, 3- 4 years old, underwent DDD pacemaker implanta-tion and were randomly divided into two groups (n=6). The pacemakers were turned on and programmed to ensure ventric-ular pacing 1 week after implantation in pacing group and turned off al the time in control group. The ECG and UCG were recorded before, 1 and 4 weeks after procedure with the pacemaker turned off. The beagles were sacrificed 4 weeks after procedure and phosphorylated ERK1 / 2 of right ventricular myocardium was determined by Western blotting. Results There was no statistical difference in the expression of ERK1 / 2, heart rate, QRS duration, BNP, ventricular myocardial pathology and parameters of UCG between the two groups. Tpeak- Tend interval and QT duration were prolonged and the expression of phosphorylated ERK1/2 increased in pacing group compared with control group(P〈0.05) 4 weeks after pro-cedure. Conclusion Right ventricular apical pacing may induce myocardial repolarization prolongation and promote ERK1/2 phosphorylation of myocardium.
