目的:观察组蛋白脱乙酰化酶抑制剂曲古抑菌素A(TSA)对心肌梗死后心衰(HF)大鼠心脏肿瘤坏死因子(TNF-α)、白细胞介素-1β(IL-1β)和诱导型一氧化氮合酶(iNOS)及心功能的影响。方法:采用冠状动脉左前降支结扎术致心肌梗死制备大鼠HF模型和假手术模型(sham),给予TSA或vehicle处理。给药4周后,测定血流动力学参数,应用免疫组织化学和ELISA检测左室心肌TNF-α、IL-1β和iNOS的水平,并测定右室/体重(RV/BW)、肺重/体重(LW/BW)。结果:与HF+vehide组相比,给予TSA后可使HF大鼠心肌组织内增高的TNF-α、IL-1β和iNOS含量明显降低(P〈0.05),左室舒张末压(LVEDP)和LW/BW降低(P〈0.05);降低的左室内压最大上升速率(+dp/dtmax)和左室内压最大下降速率(-dp/dtmax)明显升高(P〈0.05)。结论:组蛋白脱乙酰化酶抑制剂TSA抑制心肌梗死后HF大鼠心肌组织TNF-α、IL-1β及iNOS的产生,并且可能通过该抑制作用改善HF大鼠的心功能,减轻肺淤血。
AIM: To observe the effects of histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A(TSA) on the expression of tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α),interleukin 1β(IL-1β) and inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) in hearts and cardiac function in rats with heart failure(HF). METHODS: Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to coronary artery ligation to induce HF,or sham surgery(sham).Subsequently,the animals were treated with TSA or vehicle(VEH) for 4 weeks.After 4 weeks,the haemodynamic,the anatomical parameters and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and iNOS in hearts were measured. RESULTS: After treated with TSA,the levels of TNF-α,IL-1β and iNOS in hearts and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP),lung weight/body weight(LW/BW) were reduced(P〈0.05),while +dp/dtmax and-dp/dtmax were increased in heart failure rats(P〈0.05). CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that histone deacetylase inhibitor TSA may improve cardiac function and attenuate pulmonary congestion in rats with HF via inhibiting TNF-α,IL-1β and iNOS production in hearts.
