目的:探讨大鼠心肌梗死(MI)后肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)表达在室性心律失常发生中的作用。方法:采用液氮冷冻法建立大鼠MI模型。将60只雄性大鼠随机分为3组:MI组(20只)、假手术组(Sham组,20只)和TNF-α螯合剂组(rhTNFR:Fc组,20只)。在MI模型建立30d后,运用程序电刺激方法,观察诱发室性心律失常的发生情况,同时用Western Blot和激光共聚焦显微镜检测TNF-α蛋白表达水平。结果:与Sham组比较,MI组大鼠心肌组织TNF-α表达显著增加(P〈0.05),室性心律失常诱发率亦明显增高(P〈0.05);与MI组比较,rhTNFR:Fc组TNF-α表达显著减少(P〈0.05),室性心律失常诱发率亦明显降低(P〈0.05)。结论:MI后大鼠心肌组织TNF-α表达明显增加,大量TNF-α表达与MI后室性心律失常的发生密切相关。
Objective:To investigate the effect of TNF-α expression on ventricular arrhythmias in rats with myocardial infarction.Method:Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:Sham group (n=20),MI group (n=20) and rhTNFR:Fc group (n=20).Rats with MI were established by liquid nitrogen cryoinjury method.Programmed electrical stimulation was imposed on the hearts to induce ventricular arrhythmia 30 days after myocardial infarction.Protein expression level of TNF-α was detected by western blot and laser scanning confocal 30 days after myocardial infarction.Result:Compared with Sham group,the protein expression levels of TNF-α were significantly increased and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias was significantly higher in MI group (P〈0.05).Compared with MI group,the protein expression levels of TNF-α expression were significantly reduced and the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias also significantly lower in rhTNFR:Fc group (P〈0.05).Conclusion:There is relationship between TNF-α expression and ventricular arrhythmias in rats with MI.
