室的肥大是心血管的疾病的事件的一个强大、独立的预言者。低剂量的乙酰水杨酸酸(阿司匹林) 的脉管的性质通过血小板 cyclooxygenase 的不可逆的抑制提供心血管的好处 1;然而,可能的 anti-hypertrophic 性质和阿司匹林的潜在的机制没详细被调查。在这研究,健康野类型的雄的老鼠随机被划分成三个组并且使遭到了到横向的大动脉的收缩(TAC ) 或假冒的操作。操作 TAC 的老鼠与低剂量的阿司匹林的人的等价物被对待(10 mg 吗?
Ventricular hypertrophy is a powerful and independent predictor of cardiovascular morbid events. The vascular properties of low-dose acetyl salicylic acid (aspirin) provide cardiovascular benefits through the irreversible inhibition of platelet cyclooxygenase 1; however, the possible anti-hypertrophic properties and potential mechanism of aspirin have not been investigated in detail. In this study, healthy wild-type male mice were randomly divided into three groups and subjected to transverse aortic constriction (TAC) or sham operation. The TAC-operated mice were treated with the human equivalent of low-dose aspirin (10 mg·kg^-1· d^-1); the remaining mice received an equal amount of phosphate buffered saline with 0.65% ethanol, which was used as a vehicle. A cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model induced by angiotensin II (10 nmol· L^-1) was treated with the human equivalent of low (10 or 100μmol·L^-1) and high (1000μmol·L^-1) aspirin concentrations in plasma. Changes in the cardiac structure and function were assessed through echocardiography and transmission electron microscopy. Gene expression was determined through RT-PCR and western blot analysis. Results indicated that aspirin treatment abrogated the increased thickness of the left ventricular anterior and posterior walls, the swelling of mitochondria, and the increased surface area in in vivo and in vitro hypertrophy models. Aspirin also normalized the upregulated hypertrophic biomarkers, p-myosin heavy chain (IS-MHC), atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), and b-type natriuretic peptide (BNP). Aspirin efficiently reversed the upregulation of β-catenin and P-Akt expression and the TAC- or ANG II-induced downregulation of GSK-3~. Therefore, low-dose aspirin possesses significant anti-hypertrophic properties at clinically relevant concentrations for anti-thrombotic therapy. The downregulation of β-catenin and Akt may be the underlying signaling mechanism of the effects of aspirin.
